Ooooh Ginni, they got your number

drip drip drip drip drip. WHEN ARE DEMOCRATS GOING TO BUST ALL THIS WIDE OPEN?

Considering that dump is screaming about suing Hillary, I’d say pretty soon

Nothing will come of this. We no longer have standard we uphold. There’s no rule of law for wealthy or powerful people.

I hope the plan is to let the GOP nominate a bunch of Trump lovers in the primaries, then unleash this so they’re destroyed in November.But I don’t think that’s the case.

The wife of a justice of the highest court of the land was involved in arranging transport for traitors to come to the capitol to try to violently , murderously, overthrow the government. And this man can remain on the court as if this is nothing more unusual than his wife having growing orchids or playing tennis as a hobby. Only in America...

Thomas needs to be off the Supremes!

Prognosis: negative.

Hang her by her dried-out cunt flaps.

When will we be able to get rid of these traitors and panderers? Why can't someone wake up their idiot followers?

Every time one of these stories come up, I keep thinking this is it. Nothing ever happens.

"Virginia Thomas, a conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressed White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in a series of urgent text exchanges in the critical weeks after the vote, according to copies of the messages obtained by The Washington Post and CBS News."

Dems are craven and there is no one who can be considered to be a leader. It's just a menagerie of crypt keepers who refuse to step down.

KICK HER IN THE CUNT!

[quote] It's just a menagerie of crypt keepers who refuse to step down.

Except for Bernie, right?

Clarence is still in the hospital. Hopefully he never comes out.

Will Ginni get a job in the prison laundry or in the hair salon? Or just assistant to the warden so she can suck his cock?

*crickets*.....chirp....chirp. That's all we'll hear from Dems.

The worst part of this to me is that she’s a true believer in all the QAnon YouTube scam junk that anyone with half a brain can see through. I assume she and Clarence were more like country club reactionaries craven enough to choose tax breaks over ethics. Instead she seems like an airheaded lunatic who spends her days reading conspiracy theories on Facebook.

R11 Women with legs like those should really wear proper hosiery.

867-5309

Wow, regarding the WP article at r11

Ginni texting Trump Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, about Trump lawyer-loon, Sidney Powell

[quote] Mark (don’t want to wake you)…Sounds like Sidney and her team are getting inundated with evidence of fraud. Make a plan. Release the Kraken and save us from the left taking America down.”

That "Release the Kraken" shit is all over QAnon boards.

[quote] Mark, u-up?

Is any more proof needed to cement that Republicans are inherently corrupt? They have no morals or values, are anti-American, and are a clear and present danger to democracy.

Who in the fuck are the kraken??

Didn’t the Kraken come from the Game of Thrones books?

From the article

[quote] “Release the Kraken” had become a catchphrase on the far right after the election, used as shorthand for the anticipated exposure of a voter fraud conspiracy that would upend Biden’s victory with the same force as a “Kraken,” a mythical giant sea monster.

Don Jr is the Crack King. so close enough.

Lock that old bitch and her husband up!

Ginni, dreaming of the day when Biden lives in a cell at GITMO

[quote] In the Nov. 5 message to Meadows, Thomas went on to quote a passage that had circulated on right-wing websites: “Biden crime family & ballot fraud co-conspirators (elected officials, bureaucrats, social media censorship mongers, fake stream media reporters, etc) are being arrested & detained for ballot fraud right now & over coming days, & will be living in barges off GITMO to face military tribunals for sedition.”

Scandals bigger than Watergate with direct evidence and nothing ever happens.

a Christian, who lies,cheats and steals. A patriot who hates America and Americans. Just a waste of time and space.

So when are Dems actually going to do something about it?

I’m still not over the time we got President Bush, a failure to prevent 9/11, and the totally unnecessary Iraq War, all because of a 1-vote margin on the Supreme Court.

The takeaway seems to be that the federal government is completely corrupt. executive, legislative and judicial. Why is Merrick Garland another weak AG, after Trump's toadies?? Why is Schumer such a do nothing? One gets the impression the dems slow walk everything because they don't want any real justice as they want to stay in power and not be thrown out with the dirty bath water. So we're stuck supporting the DEMS as the lessor of two evils. They are all too rich, in congress, that is for sure!

Yes R34. I think you're right. I despise all politicians now. They don't want to burst their comfortable bubbles.

They got'cha numba, hussy!

I'm appalled as anyone by this, but what in these texts is legally actionable?

I wonder if Ginni was feeling like this was an urgent matter because she knows her husband's health is declining fast.

R33, and then, of course, there was Citizens United v. FEC, which was also decided by one fucking vote.

[quote]Hang her by her dried-out cunt flaps.

Oh yeah, like they’d hang a woman for aiding, abetting, concealing, counseling, and harboring the co-defendants.

[quote]Nothing will come of this.

You got that right!

OP Took me a bit to get the title of your post. LOL. Very clever!

She has always been unbearable...For years Ginny said Anita Hill "WANTED" Clarence Thomas (and was turned down) and that's why Anita testified against Clarence...

And Gina's voice mail to Anita Hill, asking Hill to apologize. WTF?!

Unfortunately not much will come of this unless a magical princess casts a spell and turns the GOP into a party of good and decent people.

They would need to pressure Thomas to resign and given the current state of things--they can taste a Roe overthrow--unlikely to happen.

As for Thomas-- IIRC, it was Kurt Anderson who said that his parents were pretty hardcore conservative Republicans but there was another family in town who were so right wing that his parents and the other GOPers stayed away from them because they thought they were bonkers -- those people were, of course, Ginni Thomas's parents.

there was no reason for that person to call Anita Hill for anything at all. This individual has no boundaries.

This womans behavior has gotten a pass for YEARS.....More proof we Dems are wimps...THEY attack us and WE do nothing...

^. Don’t have enough votes to do much..

[quote]Unfortunately not much will come of this unless a magical princess casts a spell and turns the GOP into a party of good and decent people.

Unfortunately not much will come of this unless a magical princess casts a spell and turns the Dems into a party of tough and statutory people.

The scoop came from Bob Woodward (and Bob Costa). Still digging up dirt.

We all know that you can't shame Republicans by pointing out their hypocrisy. And they get away with a lot of crimes a Liberal would never get away with. The only ally we have in this fight is Karma. Vigilantes going after these assholes would make these Republicans idolized martyrs.

I wonder if Clarence Thomas is really all that sick or just hiding out to avoid having to deal with this. He must have had a heads-up from journalists that this is coming out before the info was published. Unless he's as crazy as she is, this has got to be humiliating for him to face other supreme court justices after all this comes out.

Maybe Clarence will die from embarrassment

Die angry, Ginni

Ginni likes to take it up her ass.

I went over to freerepublic (spit) to see what excuses they’re spinning about Ginni. Nothing there. But, they are tossing around the idea that Clarence was somehow infected with something by dems. I mean, these idiots still think that fat fuck Scalia was murdered.

There is no hope for these people. And what’s ironic is, they say the same thing about us.

We infected Clarence with something? LOL at the stupidity of right wingers!

[quote]So when are Dems actually going to do something about it?

I have it on good authority that they are assembling a committee at this very minute to investigate whether or not they should write a sternly worded letter.

They just wag their fingers...."Shame! Shame!...Now, go stand in your corners." It's not working.

You cannot shame Republicans. They have no conscious or decency.

A lot of lunacy swirls around our esteemed United States Supreme Court. Psycho QAnon bullshit, hard right Catholic dogma, at least one cult member. What a joke. Why should we obey any of the corrupt and inhumane decisions these assholes come up with?

FLASHBACK====1991 People Magazine====We "survived" Anita Hill...And she was in LOVE with Clarence!!...Ginny was an Attention Whore even then....

Ginny? From Billing?

QUESTION = Has anyone ever done the math of Clarence Thomas net worth in 1991 compared to how many Tens of MILLIONS it is today?...Just curious if he was another poor person who went to DC and "miraculously" became insanely wealthy....His salary is 268,000 dollars...How does that become a MILLIONAIRE when you factor in taxes?....just curious..

I LOVE that Ginny is a Q-ANON.....But the fact that she can just freely text Mark Meadows over HER misinformation...Who the HELL does this woman think she is?.....And I have said it before---NOBODY is more masterful at victimizing THEMSELVES more that the GOP......"Our" election is being stolen?..FU lady...!!

Anyone else notice the Democrats are doing NOTHING to prosecute those (like Meadows) who are not cooperating with the Jan6 Committee?....You can believe the Nutty GOP are going to arrest every person who doesn't testify in their Hunter Biden Committee....WE have the WIMPS ....THEY get results....I am so tired of lousy Nancy and Dummy Chuck...

That's why this country is in big trouble. Not only because of the obscenely corrupt GOP, but the Democrat enablers....who let it all slide. No one has our backs anymore.

So is Clarence Thomas really sick, or just hiding out because he got wind of this story? Hope he dies or “retires” soon.

[quote]BREAKING: Ginni Thomas was also communicating with Jared Kushner, Louie Gohmert's chief of staff, and potentially also Sidney Powell about Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

It's going to be hilarious when the GOP retakes Congress this year and the White House in two and then prosecute Garland, Bragg, Mueller, etc... for taking dark money to look the other way when they were the ones supplying the dark money to begin with.

But this is America so the hypocrisy will mean nothing when it comes to the GOP.

She's bugshit crazy enough to not let him get vaxed or mask. Putin is absolutely terrified of catching covid and in this case, I'll follow his lead. It sounds like the really terrible stuff is down the road. In the long haul

Clare couldn't be a little bitch, OP, if he wore every set of Fat Ginni's Spanx.

Clarence Thomas is a big bitch. An entitled, intellectually mediocre, dishonest madman and a huge, hissy-fit, lazy and crude bitch.

I’m R120 at the attached thread and what I posted as a joke looks like it could be a viable possibility between this and Senator Mike Braun’s comments on interracial marriage.

Merrick Garland, by doing nothing, is the main one allowing the judiciary to plummet into an ineffective mess. As democracy falls, he is part and directly responsible. Others, such as Schumer, are there for special interests and to enrich themselves.

Ugh, what a HIDEOUS couple. Cute dog tho...

R20 The Republicans are also talking about investigating Buttigieg. I think the GOP want to keep Pete out of the 2024 election and this will be their path to muddying him up. We also saw them going after Chasten. The GOP know what they are doing...We gotta keep our eyes open..

There's an insane Pete and Chasten troll that haunts DL that WILL not stop.

I've been watching politics for decades now and some of the people who wrote above are correct - nothing ever happens to the Washington D.C. elite, no matter what they do. I mean, who's ever gone to jail - Scooter Libby, for one, any others? He's the only one I can think of. And then they would get pardoned anyway.

This is what I imagine her evenings with her husband to be...

R78 ......I was responding to R70....Sorry....Guess you are waiting to be surprised when you ONLY start paying attention to the GOP when they announce their Agenda after sweeping the House and Senate this fall...Just because YOU want to ignore what the GOP is saying they are going to do, doesn't mean everyone else does. Gay Marriage is in trouble....LINK

In retrospect, Biden should have just went ahead and left Bill Barr in as Atty General.

Same difference.

[quote] Biden should have just went ahead

GONE!

Holy shit is she a fucking nutter.

I would kick her in the CUNT bone, but with Clarence dying, there will never again be a bone in her cunt.

[quote] Clarence is still in the hospital. Hopefully he never comes out.

Where’s Mike Ehrmantraut when we need him?

Everytime I hear Biden say "reach across the aisle" I think "Sorry Grandpa...Those days ended in 2000 when Bush stole the White House. What alternate universe do you live in to not understand the GOP will stop at nothing to get what THEY want?".......And Ginny Thomas is proof...

I remember well Clarence Thomas complaining about the Anita Hill line of questioning at his confirmation hearing being a “high tech lynching.” At least he didn’t burst into tears like Kavanaugh.

Let's cast the movie.

Denzel as Clarence. Eddie Izzard as Ginni.

Justice Roberts needs to force CT to retire, the court is compromised.

Stupid whore.

James Corden in drag as Ginni

Joanna Lumley as Ginny and James Earl Jones as Clarence.

Laverne Cox as Ginni in the 'color-blind' release for the states that repeal Loving vs Virginia.

oh my....It seems some within the Black Community are not fans of Clarence...Magazine covers showing CT as a lawn jockey?...."oh my"......

Hmm not sure I believe he would leave on his own, but some on Twitter say he will resign shortly due to “health reasons”

"Release the Kracken!", Zeus to Posiden, Clash of the Titans.

Thank goodness Harry Hamlin was there to save the princess.

The Thomases and Meadows should be burned at the stake.

Oh baby, it's just Pillow Talk. It don't mean a thing.

Here's an interesting decision in which Clarence didn't recuse himself-

[quote] "The Supreme Court voted 8-1 that Trump couldn't block the Jan 6th committee from getting docs. The one vote against was Clarence Thomas. Mark Meadows turned over texts from Thomas's wife Ginni Thomas urging efforts to overturn the election. What else was afraid would come out?"

Datalounge fav, Mark Joseph Stern, is shocked.

[quote] "Ginni Thomas urged Mark Meadows to overturn the 2020 election by any means necessary—while her husband was ruling on cases attempting to overturn the election. A truly extraordinary level of corruption," he wrote. "Look at the absolutely deranged conspiracy theories Ginni Thomas pushed. Fringe doesn't begin to cover it. She promoted conspiracy theories from a Sandy Hook truther plus QAnon stuff."

Add this to "things that will not happen":

[quote ] Election law lawyer Rick Hasen described it as "astounding" and political scientist Norman Ornstein responded, "Clarence Thomas should resign."

Someone upthread posted something interesting re her knowing Thomas was very ill. She seems truly deranged and frantic, even more than Giuliani and the cretinous Sidney character. Maybe she knows her husband is dying soon and this gives Biden a chance to flip the court. If she were a nut for the right it would be something she feared.

When are the Dems holding the open hearings? Let's hear Ginni's MAGA QAnon fanfiction read aloud to the nation.

She looks like Mary Jo Catlett.

We have about six months to do anything about this.

"they get away with everything' =fap,fap,fap.

Supreme Court Justices have very little (maybe even no) limits on their participation in cases. All recusals are voluntary. Even if Thomas knew he was ruling directly on a matter that could send his wife to jail, there would be no way other than public pressure to get him to recuse. So there’s not a good hook to get him tossed off the Court—he would have to choose to resign.

One of the many changes that should come about because of this is a code of ethics for SC Justices. No more “we’re too pure to need rules.”

"No Worries....The Democrats never do anything to us..Besides John John is coming back and he will pardon me in a worse case scenario..."----------->>Virginia from D.C.

She's insane

She looks like she jerks off on the kitchen floor sticking an electric mixer in her gooey cunt. Maybe she's just hugely ugly.

[quote]Every time one of these stories come up, I keep thinking this is it. Nothing ever happens.

How dare you! We have passed the Sunshine Protection Act in the senate.

How DARE you! My h-h-husband is DYING!

[quote] One of the many changes that should come about because of this is a code of ethics for SC Justices. No more “we’re too pure to need rules.”

That appeared to be the theme of Justice Roberts's most recent New Year's Eve report on the federal judiciary.

[quote] Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts said the nation's federal courts are doing a better job of policing themselves, which he called essential for the ability of the judicial branch to maintain its independence.

This recent failure to recuse incident has to be an embarrassment to Roberts. It completely undermines what he said in the report, and not about a trivial matter, either. It's about Supreme Court cases regarding the legitimacy of the United States Presidential elections. Just that.

As I've said on DL many times: Q Anoners and conspiracy theorists are batshit. Look at her texts, people. This cunt is certifiable. A Grade-A fuckin' LOON.

That thing has a husband on THE SUPREME COURT. JFC. He needs to resign immediately, not hide in a hospital.

You guys….this story makes me so sad. I truly thought that SCOTUS was somehow not this bad, even though I knew I was lying to myself. This is really bad. And if we now get to see in slow motion them doing absolutely nothing to stop this (yet again), I don’t know how to cope anymore. How does a human being cope with not believing in their government anymore? I should go talk to the Russians. I just never dreamt that our entire government could be this pathetic and this shitty. This is mere inches from Third World bullshit.

We need to do something. March? Phone calls? What do we do? It feels like we have two immediate problems, one is Garland, the other is Thomas/Roberts. I have absolutely no idea how Roberts would response to massive civil demonstrations demanding transparency of the entire SCOTUS — now I want to know who else in that building was talking to Trump people, and what role did they play on hearing related to Ian. 6th? I want the entire court looked at, and every one else in that building, they need to all be investigated for ties to Trump, lobbyists, and most importantly, Putin!!! They need to literally root out each and every single person who was involved and simply publicly named them if they refuse to resign.

I bet my sweet tits that Ginni gets money from Putin. Like I’ll be surprised if that doesn’t eventually come out.

TRUMP gets Russian money. The NRA gets Russian money. They ARE the GOP.

[quote]In 2010 when Ginni Thomas left a voice mail for Anita Hill saying "I would love you to consider an apology and a full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband" it was exceedingly clear that she was bananas and also extremely bad.

Wait until Mitch blocks replacing Clarence Thomas nominee for some bullshit reason...And of course Nancy and Chuck will do nothing about it....

Also, Ginni Thomas: "Why do you make me hurt you, Clarence? Why don't you LISTEN?"

I think you’re right r118 — but what exactly can the Dems do? I’m actually asking that question sincerely. Also, what do we as citizens do? I just don’t understand how McConnell can get away with not filling seats, the Founders never planned for this level of corruption? Are there no checks/balances on transparency, conflicts of interest, code of ethics??? How can there be no legal remedy available for officers who violate codes of our highest court?!?! I just don’t understand how this was overlooked by our founders….weren’t they afraid of this at all? Surely they had witnessed that type of corruption in Europe (or knew of it).

One other comment. I wasn’t necessarily taken aback by the level of crazy in those texts. I think what freaked me out more is that they both seem to truly believe in their cause — they are the heroes in their minds!!! You can’t change someone like that! It’s not that they can’t change, it’s that they won’t. Ginni actually believes that her cause is just. It is totally twisted.

Don't blame the founders for the Dems not giving the Right Wing the vicious bitch slapping they deserve.

You can be reasonable and highlight that you are on your own, because your opposition has gone to the dark side of racism and corruption. No more "we must be better, we must reach across the isle!" bullshit. No more pretty please. Use social media, use the media to fuck with the bullies. Let them cry and whine, put them in a defensive position and get shit done. Like pushing through that Supreme Court nominee.

Our Founding Fathers ---- who wanted to get away from Monarchy ruling ----would be horrified that we have politicians who stay in office for 40 plus years. That is the opposite of what they wanted. And I'm betting they wouldn't be too crazy about Ginny either.

Where are the Democratic politicians being 'up in arms' over Garland doing nothing?

Something is amiss.

[quote]R25: Didn’t the Kraken come from the Game of Thrones books?

No, the Kraken was an 18th century imaginary sea monster. But no doubt the Republicans got it from 'Clash of the Titans'. Hence the line, "Release the Kraken."

[quote]R24: Who in the fuck are the kraken??

The "Kraken" was code for Sidney Powell and the wacky-assed bullshit she was supposed to bring to the Trump effort to keep the presidency (you know, the claim that there was a computer server in Germany with all the proof of votes altered from Trump to Biden, and that Gina Haspel was also there, mortally injured, who needed rescuing/arrest as a traitor, and Sidney Powell demanded to be given command of a SEAL team to go recover the server and capture Haspel).

The "Kraken" fizzled out as the laughingstock that it was.

[quote]R123: Where are the Democratic politicians being 'up in arms' over Garland doing nothing?

There's also the mysterious inaction of Alvin Bragg. WTF?

Crazy stupid twat. Thomas is clearly conflicted.

He should be impeached. Or forced to resign. Or failing either of those two, exported to Russia.

There is a schizophrenia spectrum and these motherfuckers are all on it

R124. Thank you. I had heard that dumb bitch, Sidney Powell screeching the phrase. I had no idea she was conjuring sea monsters.

Apparently, us Gays are more powerful controlling the weather than Republicans are controlling mythic sea monsters.

That's what I call winning.

On Morning Joe this morning Joe Scarborough and the WP's Gene Robinson expressed absolute surprise that Gini Thomas is such a wingnut. They both claimed that they knew she was very conservative but not that she was a complete QAnon wingnut. Where the hell have they been to not know that? The whole world has seemed to know this.

Bet she adores that thing called Putin.

^Di you have Putin’s number? Long Dong Silver is in the hospital, and I need some duck.

^Dick! I need dick!!

Ginni at r131 has gotten into the cooking sherry again, I see.

Conservatives insisting they had no clue about how right wing crazy Ginni is, but most of them still agree on Kentanji Brown Jackson not being the right person for the Supreme Court, because of ... reasons.

Does Clarence still put pubes on open cans of Coke. Or is it water bottles now? Does the pube balance on the smaller bottle top?

[quote]Use social media, use the media to fuck with the bullies.

Yes, I'm sure Mitch McConnell will cower in the face of TigerMan375497 saying something unkind about him on Twitter.

Mitch is too busy to care, he must apply plenty of make up to make his hands look less than the hands of a corpse. He's got his own cross to bear.

Sorry, make his hands look less like the hands of a corpse.

"And if the entire people doesn’t rise up to wipe out that execrable faction, to make perish under the sword of justice this infernal horde, then liberty is done for: soon our frontiers will be delivered to the enemy... they'll slaughter without pity all the friends of the fatherland and, in concert with the infamous faction, they will establish despotism."

fall on your sword

Is this really their wedding photo? If so she was pretty for a batshit crazy lady.

Or, did losing their/her looks make her bonkers?

(sorry for the random conservative account trying to argue the GOP isn't trying to ban interracial marriage)

[Quote]Wait until Mitch blocks replacing Clarence Thomas nominee for some bullshit reason...And of course Nancy and Chuck will do nothing about it....

1. Am certain there are machinations going on behind the scenes at this point -- such as Republicans negotiating an exit for Uncle Clarence, and perhaps promising it will happen next week when in fact they plan to have it happen when Mitch will claim it's too late for Biden to appoint a replacement.

2. While I think both Nancy and Chuck have strong opinions against this, Nancy gets stuff done while Chuck is continuously feckless.

Moscow Mitch already tweeted he wasn’t going to support Jackson.

"In January, the Supreme Court rejected former President Donald Trump's bid to block the release of some presidential records to the House committee investigating the Capitol riot. Only one of the nine justices dissented: Clarence Thomas."

Thanks to the eight other SCOTUS judges, we now have those infamous texts between Ginni and Mark Meadows. I am begging karma to do its work and never let Thomas ever hear another case again.

Mitch McConnell's name should be name-dropped every time Biden and his administration push through the second and maybe a third SOTU nominee, reminding everybody how keen McConnell was to stack up the courts during the Trump years, and thank McConnell for setting the standard.

Thank you, Mitch, for showing us the way.

[quote]On Morning Joe this morning Joe Scarborough and the WP's Gene Robinson expressed absolute surprise that Gini Thomas is such a wingnut.

Joe made a great point about the batshit: Ginni the epitome of 'elite' was ranting against 'THE ELITES" in those messages.

Woodward who reported on these messages was again on his 'both sides' horse.

CNN just announced he's out of the hospital. Look forward to his explanation of all this!

Netflix series proposal:

"Kraken Up: The Ginni Thomas Story," starring Ann Dowd of The Handmaid's Tale.

R146, he might be annoying when he does that, but my feeling is he more than makes up for it for the great reporting and scoops he gets.

[quote]Wait until Mitch blocks replacing Clarence Thomas nominee for some bullshit reason...And of course Nancy and Chuck will do nothing about it...

There's no more filibuster for judicial nominees going through Senate confirmation. Harry Reid ended it for non-SCOTUS federal judges because Moscow Mitch was summarily blocking anything from the Obama WH. Mitch ended it for SCOTUS justices after the Senate Dems filibustered Gorsuch.

So it's full steam ahead should Thomas kick the bucket. That's provided the Rethugs don't concoct some Weekend at Bernie's scenario with Thomas 'in hospital' or 'recuperating' for months till the midterms.

Vital for Dems to maintain the Senate majority.

He’s so against gay marriage. I wonder how he would react at the movement to rescind interracial marriage?

When I was growing up, they called that miscegenation.

Does anyone know how to do that whole witchy binding spell thing, and could they try it on old Mitch?

Here's Mark Meadows, Chief of Staff, in one of the email texts to Ginni concerning their support for the "stop the steal" movement:

[quote] “This is a fight of good versus evil,” Meadows wrote to Thomas on Nov. 24, per the Post. “Evil always looks like the victor until the King of Kings triumphs. Do not grow weary in well doing. The fight continues. I have staked my career on it. Well at least my time in DC on it.”

It's Jesus approved, so what can you say?

R153, he’s right it’s a fight of good vs. evil but he doesn’t realize he’s on the evil side.

Mark Meadows is another nutter (and probably an alkie, he has that look). Currently under investigation for voter fraud. Funny how the things they accuse Democrats of doing are the very things they do.

R153, that text is so batshit, over-the-top crazy. I would like to think he was just trying to placate Ginny but it’s quite possible that he meant every word of it. Wow, just wow.

I don't know why some people are surprised? Self-righteous people truly believe they are fighting the good fight. Crooks and snake oil salesmen wouldn't talk like that. They would gloat about ratings, profits, how gullible their followers are, how successful their schemes are. That sort of thing.

He’s been divorced and she is of a different race from him. Their marriage would never happened if it weren’t for liberals. It’s sweet that these two beneficiaries of liberal progress against racism and traditional religion can pose as defenders of conservatism and Christianity.

Anonymous could destroy them all just by revealing all the twisted shit Republicans are into that is only whispered about.

Wow, Meadows is as crazy as Ginni

[quote] Anonymous could destroy them all just by revealing all the twisted shit Republicans are into that is only whispered about.

All they have to say is "Fake News!" and their followers will reject the twisted shit truth. And the Liberals will wag their fingers and call Republicans hypocrites for the umpteenth time for today.

The truth might set you free, but - for Republicans - it's not going to change anything in this political climate.

R32, what are YOU going to do about it?

R102....Oooh....I can't wait to watch the hearings...

Treasonous WARTHOG!!

(signed) KING OF KINGS!!

Sadly, this will all come to naught. Thomas will claim that he and Ginni never talk politics. Maybe he'll even play victim: "Lynching of a Black Conservative"

R115. I know. I feel the same way. One party wants to destroy the country and the other party wants to hide their heads in the sand. Other than voting...what control do we REALLY have? It's very upsetting and depressing for me, too.

Yep...you know Thomas will pull the "race card" and everyone with cower...

Ginni is completely fine with all her texts being released to the public. It's downright Biblical.

[quote] Luke 12:2 "There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known. What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops."

Term limits and age limits in Supreme Court Justice hiring a would go a long way to change the country . 30 years maximum or age 85 . Whichever comes first !

[quote]Thomas will claim that he and Ginni never talk politics. Maybe he'll even play victim: "Lynching of a Black Conservative"

We know Thomas will be lying through his teeth, he's a lost cause.

The target should be Roberts on one hand to stop waffling on Code of Ethics, and the Dem Senators to get their act together. The rallying cry should be that this latest egregious conflict verging on criminality the court has lost all semblance of integrity and authority.

He’s out of the hospital

Remember a few years ago, when The Cunt called up Anita Hill at her university number and insisted on getting a public apology for all that went down in 1991?

Luckily for us, Anita Hill knows how to save a voicemail message, and how to dial up CNN.

And if CT croaks he'll be eulogized by Republicans and Democrats alike.

Meanwhile, that Sidney Powell stated that nobody intelligent would believe her claims, and that no "fraud" claims by Trump lawyers were ever proven in their myriadcourt appearances, escapes the perverted brain of "Ginni."

If these "Christians" truly believe that their Triune God cares about our Presidential elections, then why do they simultaneously refuse to believe that it is JOE BIDEN who is God's Appointed??

Republicans need a good smiting.

We know who wears the pants in that family. And the robe!

Wait a second; the wife of a SCOTUS Justice worked to overthrow our legitimate election?

I won't believe this until I read it on Hunter's laptop or in Hillary's emails.

She seems crazy.

[quote]why do they simultaneously refuse to believe that it is JOE BIDEN who is God's Appointed??

Because, in a total coincidence, God's opinions line up in complete sync with theirs.

Keep in mind that Nancy Pelosi made Rashida Tlaib apologize to that asshole Meadows because she called out his token black woman at a hearing about Trump. And Meadows started weeping like a bitch about being called out as a racist and started blubbering to Elijah CUmmings essentially saying "You're my black friend! Tell them I'm not racist!"

The GOP wants absolute power. Period. They are evil. They are corrupt. They have proven they are the enemies of American democracy. No one in their right mind looks at someone like Trump and thinks "good" unless they're saying it in Emperor Palpatine's voice.

Crazy and insecure people use any excuse to convince themselves they are right and everybody else who doesn't agree with them an evil threat that needs to be eradicated. That's why they like Q-Anon so much. It gives them the excuse to see their opposition as pedophile Satanists. And you can't reason with pedophile Satanists. You have to fight them. Fight them with holy guns and bullets dipped in holy water. Anybody can join the holy war when you can carry a gun, point and shoot. These guys want nothing more than a holy war based on Q-Anon gospel.

Here’s what will happen:

Nothing.

Democrats are funded by the same people who fund republicans. It’s just that democrats are supposed to look like an opposition party. They let GOP get away with everything. The complain & hav3 people on Twitter valiantly fighting fights, then they give up when they get in power.

I really fucking hate r183.

Bob Woodward: There's An Audacity In The Thomas, Meadows Texts

It’s always amusing when people who couldn’t really succeed in a free market economy make a living as far right activists and leaders. Didn’t she fail the bar exam multiple times and drifted in life until she became involved in right wing activism? If she hadn’t come from a family of means, she wouldn’t exactly be living the high life. He has spent almost his entire life in appointed positions where being a black conservative provided him unique opportunities.

The dems have known about this since Jan 2021. And they've done nothing. They've allowed all the repug politicans involved in the insurrection to remain in their jobs and constantly block them.

ginni thomas will not be prosecuted, clarence will not be thrown off the bench or in any type of trouble and michael flynn's brother, who delayed sending help to the capitol for hours on January 6th, will not get into any trouble. He's still in the military and will allowed to retire with a full pension, just like clarence thomas will

This is democratic weakness and laziness. This is how "it" happens, one side lays down and allows it to happen. They just don't give a single fuck.

the republicans are evil. The democrats are useless.

The democrats don't deserve any votes, but they seriously are the lesser of two evils.

the dems being a bunch of useless fucking pussies is exactly why people vote against their own interests or don't vote at all. They don't want to have anything to do with a party that is a bunch of useless, weak, lazy pussies

The dems are an embarrassment. You go to any normal (not right wing) foreign website that reports on American politics and they all ask, "why is this allowed to happen?", "why are they allowed to get away with treason"?. No one can believe how fucking utterly useless the dems are.

[quote]They've allowed all the repug politicans involved in the insurrection to remain in their jobs and constantly block them.

How exactly do you suppose the Democrats could have removed the offending politicians from their jobs?

("Wave a magic wand" is not an acceptable answer.)

Glenn Kirschner - "He Voted to Bury it To Protect His Wife..."

R49, the “scoop” came from the Subcommittee investigation specifically looking at Meadows emails and text.

The way they elevate Trumpism to a sacred cause is absurd. Beyond racist animosity and authoritarian tendencies, there really is no coherence to his positions. On issues that don’t directly touch on race and his self interest, it’s usually difficult to know what positon he would take in advance. Is he consistently for a free market? Not at all. Does he support law and order? Only very selectively? Can you predict what foreign policies he will make? Other than a weakness for dictators, not really. It’s all just a jumble of class identifications and shared animosities, that, because it makes them feel good, they turn into a sacred crusade for which they are willing to sacrifice democratic principles.

Dems don’t have any brawlers like they used to. Now it’s a bunch of grandstanders and people with annoying voices. Give me Tip O’Neill any day.

Some people ask, "What do you expect the Democrats to do? How do you propose how they go about this?". I don't have the answer. However, I think going a little rogue and being creative wouldn't hurt. Make their messaging stronger...call out everything that has been done by the GOP that is still continuing. Point out how lowly these bastards are (maybe not in those exact words)...instead of just mamby-pamby finger pointing and taking the high road. Get really serious about making these people accountable...although time is running out, November is on the horizon. Get a bit of a street fighter in them. This is a street fight by the GOP...as dirty as they can get, but Democrats think they are on a debating team. This is absolutely ridiculous and dangerous. There is no more working across the aisle and bipartisanship anymore. Maybe some day it will return. Right now, the situation is very different. They should have adjusted accordingly if they were serious. I think they were never serious...just optics. It doesn't fool me anymore. I am disgusted and feel very let down by Democrats. Yeah...lesser of two evils, but voting is going to be harder for me.

R191:

[quote] The rhetoric from the Christian right about Trump has long sounded very much like that exchange between Meadows and Thomas. In a piece tracing that rhetoric, Posner concludes that for many on the Christian right, Trump was “anointed” by God as “the fulfillment of a long-sought goal of restoring the United States as a Christian nation.”

[quote] In this narrative, Trump — despite his glaring and repugnant personal imperfections — became the vessel to carry out the struggle to defeat various godless and secularist infestations of the idealized Christian nation, from the woke to globalists to communists to the “deep state.”

[...]

[quote] Christian nationalism has at different times focused on varying enemies of its vision of a Christian nation. But the through line here is that multidenominational, multiracial democracy is producing a country that is unacceptable to the Christian nationalist vision, Jones notes. Which is why reckoning with the role of this movement in the turn against democracy is important. “It is a violent reclamation movement,” Jones told me. “If we’re going to move into the promise of a multireligious, multiethnic democracy, these forces are going to have to be confronted.”

*Call out everything the GOP has done....and keep drumming it in. That's what repubs do and make people believe it.

R191, Trumpism IS Hate and Cruelty. They subsist on Hate and they'll use Cruelty as a weapon of that Hate. As retaliation if they don't get what they want, they'll be Cruel. The only time they're happy is when they're "owning" or hurting others.

A repulsive couple.

[quote]It’s always amusing when people who couldn’t really succeed in a free market economy make a living as far right activists and leaders.

You're absolutely right. If you look at the "darlings" of the far-right, almost all of them failed at whatever they wanted to do and/or didn't even have college educations. Charlie Kirk couldn't even get through community college, Candace Owen didn't graduate college and tried to be something in entertainment , Dana Loesch was selling beet juice, Richard Spencer is a loser whose family farm is dependent on welfare ("subsidize" is too nice a word, they're leeches).

Do you notice how there were/are no laws in place to protect us from this type of despicable corruption? It was never technically "illegal" that the spouse of a sitting justice makes money off of cases coming before their spouse because it was expected that dignified judges would respectfully recuse themselves, but not this fucking pile of shit.

Never before the current Republicans had we ever imagined a level of audacious corruption before these parasites. Never did we think we would need safeguards from people this anti-American institutions claiming to be "patriots," They belong with Putin.

Well first of all the Dems could stop believing that most Americans think that the two most IMPORTANT matters in the country today are TRANNY RIGHTS and BLACK LIVES MATTER.

R202. Because democrats definitely do believe that !!!!

[quote] Well first of all the Dems could stop believing that most Americans think that the two most IMPORTANT matters in the country today are TRANNY RIGHTS and BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Jesus Christ, shut up.

R204, and this is how the GOP gets away with legislating book burning and censorship and snitch lines for teachers, because morons like the person you quoted are obsessed with thinking that's all Democrats ever talk about. And don't forget the tiresome "woke woke woke" bullshit. They want to pretend Dems legislate all of the "cancel culture" crap that the GOP actually legislates.

R202, Republicans are more obsessed with trans people than Dems. They live in states that have 4 trans athletes playing on sports teams but still try to pass anti-trans legislation because discrimination against people who make up less than 1% of the population means everything to them

I'm happy to see the media is on it today with stories on her every hour but the question will be for who long?

A spouse of a Democratic nominated SCOTUS member would be the top story if he/she did something that Ginni has done

Robert Mueller Mueller didn't do nothing, r211. You have to put the blame on Barr.

^One Mueller

"We have no comment on my statements to overthrow the government"==========>>If she were in China or Russia Ginny would be sitting in a prison cell....I cannot believe people stormed the capital and are serving weeks in prison instead of years...

The idea that this failed human being views herself as the champions of what is best in America is nauseating.

Again---you have to understand the Republican Mentality....When they WIN they say they deserved it....When they LOSE they victimize themselves and have been "cheated" and "robbed"....Ginny Thomas is proof...I love that she is a full on nutty Q-Anon...My ex used to be a normal Republican...Now he sends me stacks of printed Anti-Biden and Insane Hillary Jibber Jabber. He wasn't always like that. Fox News has pushed these people over the cliff...

May I add, R217, that it seems to be part of the problem is that we now have so many different levels of exposure to information.

Today, FUX has not mentioned Ginni at all but brought up Hunter nine times. Subsequently. people who only watch that network are clueless about one and infuriated that more people don't understand the urgency of the latter.

Add to that the addiction to clout chasing via upvotes/likes/shares on social media and people become obsessed with being contrarian, edgy, or just plain wrong.

[quote] The false biolab story pushed by the Kremlin is an example of how U.S. conspiracy theorists, far-right social media channels and Fox News pundits can often spread Russian propaganda more effectively than Russia itself.

The Patriot Act. Had the situations been reversed, every democratic politician would have been rounded up and sent to Guantanamo Bay. There is NO WAY ON EARTH the repugs would have allowed democrats to keep going like nothing happened. NO FUCKING WAY.

And you know that too

"I have 78 million dollars (Link)....Nothing to see here.".....Ginny

Ginni and Clarence are so delightful at our annual pot luck dinner in the neighborhood park each summer. I am sure this little diversion will settle down soon.

This is not only about conflict of interest with SCOTUS, it's downright corruption.

People are afraid to lose what power and influence they have in D.C.

If you take on someone big, like Meadows, Cunty Thomas, or Trump, and lose, you might always be smeared by that.

That must be why the Dems won't bring these thugs to justice. Or perhaps they would rather work on legislation or other issues.

If you looked-up 'Karen' in the dictionary, it would be her picture.

And clarence thomas did not recuse himself on a case involving the insurrection. But of course, he's a republican so there will be no consequences.

[quote]"We have no comment on my statements to overthrow the government"==========>>If she were in China or Russia Ginny would be sitting in a prison cell....I cannot believe people stormed the capital and are serving weeks in prison instead of years...

She actually organized and financed the transportation for many of the insurrectionists. She should be arrested for conspiracy. That's an easy charge to prosecute. Her texts prove it and so do her bank records. This was public knowledge two weeks after the insurrection. People were tweeting all about this. This is not new information.

the dems knew this and let clarence thomas cast a vote on a case about the insurrection.

The dems should be charged with not doing their jobs and allowing other politicians/judges to violate the constitution. That useless piece of shit merrick garland doesn't care. He ought to be tossed out on his useless ass.

They have more than enough evidence to charge trump, but garland isn't even investigating him. He just wants to move on and forget it all happened.

[quote]People are afraid to lose what power and influence they have in D.C.

The average age of the Senate is 63 years.

17 Democratic Senators by my count are 70+ years old.

What are they afraid to lose in their old and very well paid age?

Oh please doesn't anyone get it? Nothing is going to happen about this. Mitch McConnell already deemed Clarence above reproach. He will be back at work ruining lives next week.

R188, ginni thomas even recommended having the Biden family brought to Guantanamo Bay, simply because Joe won the election.

It's all in her texts

The PROOF is right in front of our eyes...CT was the lone dissent in favor of Trump. Now we know why.

don't forget some time ago Ginni wrote that public letter denouncing the Jan 6 committee

she had to have known her communications were going to get discovered by them

John Roberts is not a homo! He just enjoys long walks on the beach at Fire Island with his guy friends!

This is all perpetually jaw-dropping. A vast, right wing conspiracy to overthrow the United States government.

How many other Rethugs are out there tonight trembling that their shit will be uncovered?

[quote] 17 Democratic Senators by my count are 70+ years old. What are they afraid to lose in their old and very well paid age?

US senator is one of the greatest jobs in the world. They barely work at all & they get huge respect. They have govt-paid staffs, they have eager unpaid interns, they have a motorcade (not as big as a president or VP, but its got SUVs & flashing lights). They get the best tables in restaurants. They have industry lobbyists giving all kinds of baksheesh. They have insider information and can easily make a fortune on it. They can make family members rich with their info. Their children get admitted to the best schools. Everybody wants to please the senator because the senator makes the laws of the land. A senator can give you a reference for a military academy, a university, a job. Your spouse or children can work as lobbyists. Corporations, foreign leaders …all want to have regulations removed, foreign policies written, sanctions removed. You don’t want to make a senator angry. They know people.

The Hatch Act is no longer enforced. Senators no longer obey subpoenas. They don’t testify. They can be outwardly racist, bigoted and it doesn’t matter. The6 won’t lose their jobs. In fact, it’s kind of better for their job to be openly bigoted in some states.

There are only 100 senators in a country of over 300 million people. Nobody wants to give up that kind of power. And they only have to run every 6 years.

😂 imagine being worth 100 million dollars and convinced this country is out to get you.

Just learned her husband was directly responsible for getting Bush jr into office after he lost the election to Gore back in 2000.

Garbage and filth.

Repubs aren't shivering or shaking about their corrupt shit being discovered....because they know they'll get away with it.

They even are blatant about it...throw it in our faces...and probably gleefully laugh.^^

She believes Qanon shit too.

Let bygones be bygones.

LOCK HER UP!!!!

[quote]That useless piece of shit merrick garland doesn't care.

I have a fantasy that two weeks before the November election, Garland drops a 100 count indictment on trump, his family and his business and continues with indictments of all the Republican Senators complicit with 1/6.

Just how much $$$ do you think it takes to make Garland look the other way?

That DA in the new Batman movie was getting $10K/month til Riddler blew his head off.

[quote] When I was growing up, they called that miscegenation.

Oh my, R151, that easily makes you one of the oldest Klan Grannies at DL. Good on you for finding a way to inject racism into a thread about a GQP Karen.

"Mitch McConnell already deemed Clarence above reproach. "

Meaning he's just as corrupt as he is.

What type of man is Clarence Thomas for him to bed down with a right wing cunt like Ginnie? Brother is twisted.

There is not a single black person in the entire US who has a photo of Clarence Thomas in their home. They know he doesn't represent them and is in fact an anathema to black movement and civil rights in general. He was a conservative ringer placed by Bush I to satisfy the need to have a black person on the court, but who's views are the polar opposite.

However, thousands of homes had photos of the first black supreme court judge, Thurgood Marshall, a man of high moral standing. I recall one hanging on the wall in the office of my college professor.

Exactly, r249, he was truly a token pick. If race weren't a factor, absolutely nobody in the world would have thought of Clarence Thomas and Supreme Court. Once race was a factor, indeed far and away the primary factor, they were stuck with the very small options of Black conservatives.

Most black people also can't stand Condi Rice. They know a useless token when they see one.

They need to constantly tease that they're going to charge her until the stress causes her fatty, cholesterol-riddled bigoted heart explodes in her barrel chest.

Good luck expecting Merrick Garland to even bother looking into the matter. Nothing happens.

If Garland fucks Biden over can Biden do anything to return the favor?

[quote]Just learned her husband was directly responsible for getting Bush jr into office after he lost the election to Gore back in 2000.

And here's some more connections: George Terwilliger -the lawyer currently representing Mark Meadows- was one of the Bush Jr. lawyers during the 2000 recount.

[quote]Exactly, [R249], he was truly a token pick. If race weren't a factor, absolutely nobody in the world would have thought of Clarence Thomas and Supreme Court. Once race was a factor, indeed far and away the primary factor, they were stuck with the very small options of Black conservatives.

This is the irony of those right-wing dirtbags who speak of token picks and affirmative action. They always accuse the Democrats of token picks, meanwhile, they picked an unqualified bag of pageant hair named Palin solely because she was a woman. They thought her simply being female, was enough to get women to vote for them. She was a complete imbecile who had no business having any power. Democrats do not simply pick someone based on race/gender. They have to have an impeccable record. They have to be the first of something or have an impressive CV. Meanwhile, the GOP picks predators and actual moron.

Exactly r256. And if anyone remembers the curious and really ridiculous incident of Harriet Miers, they can never again take any Republican seriously when they talk about "the best qualified candidate" ever.

Binders full of women!

Thank you Mittens for encapsulating in a soundbite the GQP's stance on diversity.

Unfortunately, Merrick Garland's unprepossessing countenance is an exact reflection of his desire for justice.

Clarence Thomas Disappears As His Wife's Scandal Deepens

Majorly disappointed with Garland. But he’s not concerned about getting justice. This is just something that looks good on his résumé.

Ahem

Will they allow Ginni and Clarence conjugal visits when she goes to the slammer? Maybe she needs to learn to love the ladies.

oh my = "The Corruption of Clarence and Ginni Thomas".....LINK

removing 99 percent of their wealth to a mere one million dollars ought to punish them.

She looks like the female character Louie Anderson played at the end of his life.

Garland slow-walking? How about doing nothing?

She’s a disgusting cunt.

some people on twitter are spilling

this former Heritage Foundation intern (he's no longer a right winger) explains how Ginni and Clarence cannot be seen as separate entities. She involves him in all her "work

here's another twist!

John Eastman clerked for Thomas!!!!

R270, in one if her texts to Meadows, Ginni Thomas mentions a conversation with her “best friend.” Apparently she and Thomas publicly refer to each other as their “best friend.”

what I'm wondering is have all her relevant texts been released? Or, as bad as things already look, are there more damning texts they're waiting on and will release later?

Do it! Do it! Do it!

I hope this isn't true, R274

[quote] Jan. 6 Committee Unlikely to Subpoena Ginni Thomas, as Liz Cheney Reportedly Doesn’t Want to Tarnish Clarence Thomas

But I suspect, as someone intimated upthread, Washington is very connected and offending either Thomas

a) would bring a world of hurt down on her reelection campaign.

b) might expose the administration/shadow president who appointed Clarence...her father.

[...]

I bet there are, R273.

And someone is saving them for their book later, unfortunately.

What does DL fave Kinzinger think about a subpoena for Ginni?

but Cheney also knows that Ginni trashed the Jan 6 committee with that insane vicious letter

so Ginni is probably already going after her

Clarence and Ginny remind me of another interracial couple:

Never trust a Cheney.

Ginni berated Anita Hill instead of blaming her husband. Enough said.

The 1/06 needs to question Ginni Thomas, the insurrectionist and conspirator.

Dick Cheney's involvement with Clarence being placed on the Supreme Court, dates back to 1991. Old information. The MAGAs in Wyoming who adore Ginni are not going to vote for Liz anyway.

Ginni will probably defy a subpoena, and Merrick Garland, by recent past practice, will do nothing about it. Or, she could show and plead the 5th.

I cannot believe the Gohmert lawsuit, WTF. That lawsuit proves that they are all coordinated on 1/6 (meaning the WH, SCOTUS, and Giant-nni Thomas). This blows my mind, it is literally the trail of breadcrumbs needed to prove that 1/6 was indeed a legitimate coup.

The other shocking thing that my brain won’t comprehend, did I hallucinate reading this….that Coney Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Roberts all served on Bush’s 2000 election team? Could that be fucking true? If true, how is this only coming out now?!? I have followed what’s happening closely for six years, and while I take news breaks, I cannot believe that I’ve never heard that about these three before now. Were you aware of this, that all three were on that team that challenged the election? This is dome dark magic level fuckery!!!!!!

So now Liz's concern for democracy is conditional? If she expects to save her shit party, she needs to purge every anti-democratic parasite and that includes her old buddies.

She reminds of the woman who played Pearl the maid on Different Strokes:

What a nasty piece of shit

Was Pearl a batshit crazy insurrectionist too R283?

THIS is the perfect example of Democrat WIMPS.....We have nobody standing up for us. Not Nancy or Chuck. If Thomas and Ginny were Democrats Mitch would be all over the place calling for hearings in the fall..The GOP would already be fundraising off of this..Matt and MTG would be holding a press conference. Trump would be outraged and calling every Fox News show. Nancy just throws another marble in her mouth and does nothing. We Democrats need better leaders.

R281 Kavanaugh worked for Ken Starr in the criminal investigation against Bill Clinton that led to the impeachment saga. It was Kavanaugh that wrote all the sordid sexual stuff obtained from Monica Lewinsky with input from Linda Tripp, Paula Jones, etc.

Did Biden nominate Merrick Garland as AG because he knew Garland would be weak on prosecuting Trump and his cronies?

What's the motive? If the GQP wins control of the House in the fall, regardless of what the 1/06 committee and DoJ says and does about Trump, the House will have show trials about Hunter, Hillary again, State Dept. officials, and Joe Biden himself. They will try to impeach Biden.

Democrats being wimpy now is a problem.

But it’s more than just Kavanaugh r287….all three of them. On that team. The team that got a presidential election overturned. And now, you know, they’re hearing cases about another presidential election. That one side hopes to overturn. Again.

Yes R281 it came out in their confirmation hearings that all 3 worked on the Bush team. It's just no one of course made a huge deal of it. Those would have been great examples of how partisan they are but I guess people were more obsessed with the flashy stuff about Bretty being a drunken serial sexual assaulter and Ames being a perfect example of an 1800s woman

I am sure you’re right, I must have learned the Triplicates of Doom all had a dry run in 2000, actually working as a team. I just cannot believe it didn’t blow up as a story.

I hope Ginni gets a virulent pussy infection.

I'm convinced the entire Republican party is addicted to painkillers.

And determined to drag us down into their gutter r293.

I'm from Missouri, where Jack Danforth is seen as a saint and oh so non-partisan. He said in a recent interview he was totally wrong about endorsing Josh Hawley. But he has no regrets about endorsing Clarence Thomas for SCOTUS. WTF??

Yes, R267, he's not even investigating trump or any other republican politician

R274, are you joking? They can issue a thousand subpoenas. She won't show up and they won't do anything to her.

The dems have known all about this for over a year. This was all exposed on Twitter in January 2021. And the stupid dems sat back and allowed clarence thomas to vote on a case that involved the insurrection, KNOWING WHAT HIS WIFE DID. The dem politicians actually deserve to lose their jobs for that fucking bullshit. They're not defending the constitution.

For over a year I've been telling everyone on this board what a bunch of useless bunch of pussies the democrats are and I got so many replies, "go away Boris", "you're a bot", "you're from russia", "you're a trump supporter".

You all were so fucking stupid. You're like democratic versions of trump supporters.

I'll tell you another thing, the dems can not wait until they lose control of the house and the senate so they can sit back and do absolutely nothing.

The republicans love money and power. The democrats just love money

She's always been nuts

On my local Indiana political tv program this morning they did their usual "winners & losers" - and the Democratic mouthpiece/apologist proclaimed that the winners were the TRANNY KIDS that were included in a bill that passed - they can now go to the bathroom they imagine they belong in and participate in sports as the sex they think they are......thanks be to the ACLU and the Democrats drawing up and passing bills that REALLY MATTER.

Wow, r298, it's almost like you don't want to talk about crazy treason lady Ginni and want to throw out irrelevant trans stuff instead.

R299, I'm with R298 on this one.

Another crazy Ginni moment from the past. She went to the Trump Whitehouse, met with the president, and went on a rant about Trans people (and other things.)

[quote] In January 2019, Ginni Thomas met with Trump at the White House alongside members of her conservative group, Groundswell. A Trump aide who spoke with the magazine described the conversation in unflattering terms.

[quote] "It was the craziest meeting I've ever been to," he told the magazine. "She started by leading the prayer."

[quote] Later, the aide said, attendees spoke disparagingly of "the transsexual agenda" and of parents "chopping off their children's breasts."

[quote] The aide said that Trump "tried to rein it in" but that "it was hard to hear" because attendees were praying out loud.

[quote] Some details of the White House meeting later leaked, and Ginni Thomas' advocacy against transgender rights — and the inflammatory language she's used to describe transgender Americans — made headlines.

You know you are seriously crazy if even Trump feels the need to rein you in.

Yes R301, this bitch was too crazy for tRump. That's saying something.

It certainly seems that way, r299. They've hijacked the Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson thread in the same manner. I love how r298 manages to also add a pinch of racism with this post:

[quote]Well first of all the Dems could stop believing that most Americans think that the two most IMPORTANT matters in the country today are TRANNY RIGHTS and BLACK LIVES MATTER.

In the last thread someone posted a link to a site assessing her financial worth. The claim that she lives in California is clearly bogus and raised questions about all the information on that site. She and Clarence live in Virginia. She has to be close to her rightwing compatriots and to the seat of power in DC.

Rumors of a rift in the Jan 6th committee, I wonder if Liz is reluctant to go after Ginni and Thomas?

[quote]They can issue a thousand subpoenas.

Every time i hear about another subpoena from this committee, I just roll my eyes. They're about as effective as giving these scumbags a "time out."

r305 see r275

I think it's interesting that the Trumpies of all people, are putting stories out there about Ginni, about how crazy she is, she's a Q-Anoner, all that. It's almost as if someone decided that they're going to throw her under the bus for 1/6, knowing that as long as Clarence is alive she's largely untouchable, but once he's dead - well, then fuck her. She's no use to them anymore anyway. As someone else noted, the texts themselves may not be actionable, but if this is the stuff she does in public, imagine the crazy shit she does that she thinks is private. Even though it may take some time, I don't rule out the idea that Big Ginni might be going down.

If the 1/6 HUAC can't make a decision about Ginni, then send all the evidence to the DoJ. No criminal referral need be made.

Regardless of what the right wants to do with her, the Democrats should be screaming bloody murder about this, about her, and about Clarence. This shit about how treason is just her little hobby, and they don't discuss politics like this, and he may or may not be the "best friend" in the text, oh fuck that noise. He is intimately involved and should be treated as a traitor on the Court who supported the insurrection and should be forced to resign.

Kinzinger is in favor of going after Ginni, so Liz seems to be the only hold out.

Gee, you'd ALMOST think it was normal to have this crazy bitch who probably spends all day on Nextdoor ranting about chemtrails and adenochrome baby eaters be the wife of a SCOTUS Justice. It's the frog in the boiling pot situation--we've little by little over the last 5-6 years been conditioned into thinking any of this QAnon/MAGA behavior is normal or acceptable. It is not, but thanks anyway Chuck Todd, Maggie Haberman, and the rest for normalizing it.

Agree r312, and I totally get the frustration of that poster (posters?) about how passive both Merrick Garland and the Democrats can be. Stop that shit. No matter what the committee does or doesn't do, no matter what Kinzinger or Liz Cheney want or don't want, every Democrat on every show should be talking about treason in the Clarence Thomas household and asking how a Supreme Court Justice can be married to a coup supporting lunatic, and wondering if he supports the coup as well.

[quote]If the 1/6 HUAC can't make a decision about Ginni, then send all the evidence to the DoJ. No criminal referral need be made.

Adam Schiff has already said he doesn't expect merrick garland to charge trump or any other republican politician, "and to just move forward for the good of the country".

and Ginni thomas paid for and arranged transportation to get some of the insurrectionists to the capital by bus. That was known in January 2021 and the DEMOCRATS LET CLARENCE THOMAS CAST A VOTE IN A CASE THAT DEALT WITH THE INSURRECTION.

Any democratic politician who is an attorney should be tossed out of office and disbarred. Shame on every single one of these useless, lazy mother fuckers. They've made their millions and simply don't give a shit about the country or the average citizen.

The only good thing Ginni did was not reproduce. Like Coulter. Limbaugh. Maher.

R314, you did realize there is nothing the Dems could have done to make Thomas recuse himself. The only option is impeachment after the fact. I think the fact that all of this is coming out is due to DEMS leaking this stuff.

Btw, Dems didn’t let this happen.

R296, 98% of Dems want Thomas gone. But then there's Manchin and Sinema. Don't attack all Dems because of 2 cunts who are getting paid by GOP big money groups to tank the Dem's agenda

He will not resign.

He will not be impeached.

She will not go to jail.

John Roberts will not force him to resign.

We lost the culture wars in 2000. I was watching ejection results when Florida was called for Gore & he was declared winner. It was BUSH’S COUSIN who declared the election was wrong and that Bush really won. Network news them iimmmediately switched over to a feed from FL where George 1 & Barbara Bush declared this was all wrong, Florida did not go for Gore. Of course, their son JEB was governor of FL.

Nobody though that was suspicious. Why? Because of cable news. We no longer had 3 networks and some independent broadcast stations giving the news. We now had cable stations that were not subjected to FCC regulations. Cable news gleefully accepted this “breaking news” ratings grabber they knew would last for months, just like coverage of whitewater & Gulf War 1 did.

That’s when it all came together. Gulf War 1, Whitewater, astronaut catastrophes, OKC bombings, Columbine had hypnotized the US and addicted it to cable news. They sat on their asses while James Baker spewed garbage. That’s when we lost.

Obama was a figurehead.

^ Huh? Tons of people thought Bush's win was suspicious. Republicans didn't win the culture wars. That's why gay marriage is legal now.

Someone I went to high school with worked at the Elitch Theatre. Ginger was doing 40 Carats. She asked him to go and buy some ammonia capsules (for her crying scene). She tipped him $10.00...in check form. How many un-cashed Ginger Rogers checks are out there?

Will the trans hate Karens, TERFs, Breitbart & Putin trolls stop invading every damn thread? You are nothing but troublemakers. You are not good people.

Thank you R316 for being the voice of reason. Some around here (some bots/trolls and some that come from an uninformed, but honest POV) want to blame EVERYTHING on the Democrats. It's really tiresome. Also, these things take a little time to work their way through the system. It's like they think a story breaks on Monday of the corruption/law breaking and there should be an arrest Tuesday morning. That's not how the justice system works here. It's slow.

R299, that 'irrelevant' stuff lost the Dems the VA elections, and is on track to lose them the midterms.

R296 is exactly right.

It's irrelevant to this thread r323. So, are you a fan of crazed cunt Ginni, or just want to avoid the subject altogether for reasons?

Clarence sure got the white prize, didn't he? Hoo faa.

She would be a good "Big Bertha" in the slammer...

R323. allow me to inject some reality into your hyperbole:

The win in VA was in no way some shocker. The fucking media made it sound as if it were. In fact. it's exactly what VA does every time there's an election for governor. The shock would've been if McAulliffe had won and then the media would've treated it like no big deal that something that normally never happens happened.

Second, the pop. of VA is 8.5M. Youngkin got 1.663M. Mcauliffe got 1.6M. Roughly 63K people in a state of 8.5M is why Youngkin is governor, so do me a favor and stop pretending there's some groundswell of support for the right-wing BARKING, because the actual votes do not reflect that fact.

[quote]Republicans didn't win the culture wars. That's why gay marriage is legal now.

Trump was elected. Mitch put three SCOTUS justices on the court in four years. GOP became GQP. Far right loons are now in Congress. Half the country is convinced the election was stolen. The Capitol was stormed to overturn the election. DOJ twiddles its thumbs.

SCOTUS is now poised to overturn Roe. Next stop Obergefell.

Rethugs will cry CRT and will win the midterms.

What culture wars are we winning?

R328, no "half the country" does not think the election was stolen

The "storming" of the Capitol did not succeed.

If SCOTUS overturns Roe and Obergefell it won't be because most Americans support those things. Supreme Court justices aren't elected, they're appointed

Most people don't vote based on "CRT" and can't even define it

And Trump was "elected" by less than half of the population

They say stress does terrible things to the body let's all hope both Ginni and Clarence find that out for themselves.

Arguments like R330 is why we can't do shit. It's the ostrich argument.

"Elected' or 'not, the support he got and still has is mind-boggling. He was POTUS for 4 years and did enormous amount of damage. He empowered the loony fringe which is now mainstream in GOP.

What culture wars are we currently winning?

She's always had a fucking screw loose.

(from Wikipedia)

[quote]In the 1980s, while a congressional aide, Thomas took training with the self-awareness program Lifespring.[52] In 1987, she related to The Washington Post that, during her training several years earlier, she had been "confused and troubled" by lessons such as one where trainees were told to disrobe to bikinis and bathing suits then "made fun of fat people's bodies and ridiculed one another with sexual questions".[52] After realizing that membership in her Lifespring group was separating her from her family, friends, and co-workers, Thomas began what proved to be a difficult and months-long process of breaking away.[52] At one point, she hid in another part of the U.S. to avoid a constant barrage of high-pressure phone calls from Lifespring members, who felt they had a duty to keep her in the organization.[8][53][54]

[quote]Thomas came to believe that Lifespring was a cult.[8] After leaving the group in 1985, she sought counseling and joined the Cult Awareness Network.[8][55] She became a critic of controversial religious groups, speaking on panels and organizing anti-cult workshops for congressional staffers in 1986 and 1988.[8] In a 1991 interview, Thomas remarked, "I was once in a group that used mind control techniques"; and she called its members "pretty scary people".[56]

Nearly forty years later, she's in yet another cult of "pretty scary people".

Well THIS could be a win, and this is the difference with the Republicans, who can sense immediately when there is blood in the water and start swarming. I don't need Corrie Booker talking about the need for an ethics code for the Supreme Court. That "procedural" horseshit that the Democratic Party always seems to think people actually care about.

What we need is the same kind of energy that was used to create CRT as a nationwide problem, and trannies in sports as the most important issue of the decade, and before that Benghazi, and so on and so on and so on. Republicans have a real instinct for this and we should develop that instinct.

We need Democrats out there asking loudly if a Supreme Court Justice's wife doesn't believe in the Constitution itself, and if that Justice agrees with her that it's just a piece of paper that should be thrown away the second a Republican President loses an election.

No, R18, she is not. Anyone assuming she is stupid is mistaken. She was involved in Republican politics in high school and has remained hard core. She understands about messaging and is considered a serious conservative by other serious conservatives, who believe the ends justify the means. She has been involved in a lot of strategic activity and understands how to bring down the government. She doesn't believe the GQP stuff any more than you do, but she understands that riling up the Magats can bring a lot of power. And, as the wife of a SCOTUS justice, she is unlikely to ever face a charge or a consequence, even after his death.

She should be held responsible for her actions as should the rest of these criminals and seditionists. If Liz Cheney is backing of a subpoena for her, however, then no other body will be taking action either.

And we have to stop doing that too. We need to stop being so hyperlegalistic about everything. We need to stop pretending that everything comes down to subpoenas and courts and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt before a jury of blah, blah, blah.

No, that is not how politics works. It is visceral, and we have a visceral issue here. Is there a Supreme Court Justice who believes that a coup against a lawfully elected president is legitimate, and if so, why the hell is he still on the Court?

R332, gee, how about the fact that a majority of Americans wants to keep gay marriage and Roe v Wade? Most conservatives said gay marriage would somehow destroy straight people's lives.....liberals said it wouldn't. Guess who won that argument. Same thing with gays in the military.

R291, Because, essentially, Michelle Obama singlehandedly "rehabilitated" Dubya with her "Why, yes, I'll have a candy" moment at the funeral of Bush Elder.

Same as with My Lai apologist and 9/11 perjurer Colin Powell. Rehabbed in the public's eye, praised by Democrats.

Thus in these ways are Republican war criminals and traitors allowed to escape justice.

Merrick Garland is clearly following Robert Mueller's game plan: "Investigate"; keep mum; play for time; write a report; "find" no indictable crimes; ride off into the sunset.

Republicans and conservatives have stop even pretending that they has an ethics standard or even any level of shame. They have a standard for Democrats and liberals but none for themselves. Double standard, and they don't give a fuck.

Is it lost on everyone that she tried to install a White Supremacist back into the White House all the while married to a black man?

No, r340.

R339, many Republicans are complete cynics, and would do anything for power and money. Some of them, though, actually believe that they are fighting an evil so profound (liberalism? Socialism? Who knows?) that they do not have to obey the law.

[quote] Is it lost on everyone that she tried to install a White Supremacist back into the White House all the while married to a black man?

He makes it so easy to forget!

R338, there is no effing way the public forgave Bush because he handed Michele Obama a piece of candy. And what was she supposed to do? Throw it in his face at his father’s funeral?

[quote]you did realize there is nothing the Dems could have done to make Thomas recuse himself. The only option is impeachment after the fact. I think the fact that all of this is coming out is due to DEMS leaking this stuff.

The democrats knew that ginni thomas organized transportation for some of the insurrectionists and financed it with her own money. They've known it since January 2021. An investigation should have been opened that week.

R345, investigate what? Being a cunt isn't a crime. Just funding buses is not a crime

^^^aiding and abetting is part of a conspiracy. That is a crime.

Ginni should be barred from being involved in political activism but that won't happen. The least the media can do is keep up the pressure and talking about this piece of shit lunatic.

R347, as a poster upthread said, arranging for buses is not a crime. We on

Oops posted too soon. We only found out about the seditious texts this week. Stop blaming Dems for this shit.

[quote]Just funding buses is not a crime

She wasn't funding buses to go on a field trip the Hershey Park. She is clearly a psycho who funded those buses with the intention of having a bunch of terrorist shitheads try and overthrow the government. We don't have to guess her intention. She is a full-fledged psycho and terrorist. Make her fucking Muslim and every stupid cunt making excuses for her would want Muslims no where near it to be prosecuted, too.

I was hoping that Kristen could have pulled off a Tomei.

Did you take a wrong turn at Albuquerque, R352?

Too many open tabs, and post showed up on another open tab. Sorry.

The jolly couple after Ginni cuts a fart.

Back in 2015, Ole Ginni was endorsing Lyin' Ted for President.

shocker

[quote]investigate what? Being a cunt isn't a crime. Just funding buses is not a crime

Arranging for transportation to take people to the capital where they have plans to try and overthrow the government is a crime.

Had the situations been reversed, every democratic politician and anyone else involved would have been taken to Guantanamo Bay. The Patriot Act would allow it too. And more importantly, ginni thomas even mentions having Biden sent there, for "stealing the election".

And shame on the weak, lazy democrats for not doing anything. This is how a civil starts. You have one evil party and one useless party who refuses to lift a finger. They've known all of this and were totally cool with clarence thomas casting votes on a case dealing with the insurrection.

What the fuck can you say about a party who can't even be bothered to get rid of the people obstructing them at every turn?

The dems are the real problem. Yes, the repugs are scum, but they only do the things they do because they know that there are no consequences for anything they do. donald trump could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and the democrats would refuse to prosecute him.

[quote]You have one evil party and one useless party who refuses to lift a finger.

You summed that up very well.

Sad Ginni never had any babies.

Are her balls full of blanks R360, or is Clarence barren?

As mentioned in numerous other threads: It will take ~50+ years for Dems to correct what Cheeto did in 4 short years. And yes, in part it is because they are lazy and seek every opportunity to take a vacation. The DUMS will appoint endless tax-payer funded committees and endless investigations along with any number of grand jury hearings for years that simply fizzle away after months with hardly a footnote in the news since the news media suffers from such an acutely short attention span. Just like how Bragg and Dump’s NY criminal grand jury investigation ends up with only shocking resignations and NOT A SINGLE indictment being brought against Cheetolino despite an overwhelming amount of guilty evidence.

This is a complete breakdown in our system of checks and balances because of the sheer amount of CORRUPTION in every corner of our government and its officials. Everyone has kompromat on everyone else, regardless of party affiliation. I’ll bet there’s dirt out there in that NY investigation. And I’d bet it could be something as despicable as child diddling with a connection to Jeffrey Epstein. That hot potato seems to have long tentacles into a lot of power brokers in NYC. That would alone would substantiate why Epstein was made to “strangle himself”.

January 6 Committee Divided Over Ginni Thomas’ Texts

The Ginni and Clarence Thomas Scandal is Unprecedented

Ginni Thomas has always been a raging partisan, and a cunt. But she knows she's untouchable and her husband is unimpeachable, so she goes on with it.

People expressing surprise that she'd behave this way clearly haven't been paying attention since 1991.

The hallmark of the Trump doctrine: If the SCOTUS has not ruled against it, it's legal.

It is also the hallmark of a psycho.

She should be on trial for sedition!

Move on people, nothing to see here...

R358, how are we supposed to get rid of anyone? We have 48 Dems in the Senate plus 2 "Dems" who will not vote to help hold anyone accountable. You are making things worse by attacking Dems instead of fighting the real enemy - Republicans

R362 = conspiracy loon

R369 Some around here prefer to blame the Democrats for everything instead of acknowledging reality.

Dinosaurs went extinct? Thanks, Nancy Pelosi!

The Titanic sank? Thanks Chuck Shumer!

The Lindbergh baby was kidnapped? Of course Joe Biden and Hillary did it!

[quote][R362] = conspiracy loon

[R362] = some dimwitted asshole who thinks the Datalounge pays by the fucking word.

R371, that is so true. They are just as bad as the freepers who blame Joe Biden for gas prices, because apparently they think the US president controls gas prices across the world....

January 6 investigation panel seeks to interview Ginni Thomas.

R365 is correct, however, with her husband/benefactor ailing & the Trumpies (and possibly others) leaking information about how crazy she is, her untouchability may be running out. I don't see her going to jail, but I don't think legal real trouble is out of the question and I'm guessing she won't handle that well.

R371, stop. Democrats are in fact weak. They don't even speak up enough. If you didn't know Schumer was maj. leader, you'd think McTurtle was. Schumer is the most spineless leader the Dems could've chosen. And yes, Biden is also a problem because he's too nice when he talks about people like McTurtle. There's no point in being nice to him,.

More on the 1/06 panel planning to call Ginni Thomas to be interviewed:

R376, saying mean things about the Turtle won't change anything or make him any less of an asshole. Schumer isn't a dictator he can't do whatever he wants. It's not his fault that Manchin and Sinema are taking $$$ to tank the Dems agenda

The GQP is hoping to keep Clarence alive, or keep him from retiring, at until McTurtle is Senate Majority leader again and block any Biden nominee.

^at least until

This seditious cunt is a True Believer. This dumb cunt seriously thinks she did NOTHING WRONG.

The cognitive dissonance (coupled with her arrogance) will be a sight to behold if she is EVER hauled before any committee, grand jury or even decent reporter for an interview.

This dumb cunt is, and always has been, mentally ill.

Just tell Putin Ginni is pro=Ukraine...problem solved.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Can Putin get Hawley a cup of tea while he's up getting old Ginni one?

Hawley thinks being misogynistic means you wear glasses.

Well, I think Hawley's comment was interesting because he cares about protecting Clarence (obviously), but Ginni...not so much. He didn't say she didn't do it, left wing smear job, fake news, etc. He just said her husband isn't responsible for her actions. Maybe reading too much into it, but maybe the repigs already know Big Ginni is going down & are perfectly happy to let that happen - they just have to circle the wagons around Clarence (while the Grim Reaper circles around him)

Jethrine Hawley, while talking about misogyny, needs to drop his trousers and let us see if he's wearing women's panties at the moment.

Let us repeat: Clarence Thomas was the lone "No" vote on a case related to 1/6. If you think his wife isn't directly responsible for that corrupt opinion, you're an idiot or just a scumbag who believes in certain types being above the law.

This will peter out just like everything else.

GOP gripes about Twitter but knows it’s perfect for them. People have a fit, tweet angrily for a couple of days, then something else comes along….

I wonder if Clarence ever got his (hard?) dick up Ginni's chalky uterus hole? Maybe it is more a marriage of expedience than a true Christian union, as they were not blessed with children. God could easily have awakened her barren womb, or replaced his watery blanks with potent seed.

Let's send Will Smith to slap her!

While I don't care to speculate because it makes me ill, I could see Ginni subscribing to the Margaret White theory of sex and childbirth. Maybe Clarence doesn't drink and therefore never felt the urge to dive into the forbidden haunted cavern.

Or maybe he just snorts Coke off her pubes . . .

She be a nasty sinister woman. Fat ugly.

Why is anyone surprised by this revelation of complete partisanship and hypocrisy of Robert’s Supreme Court? This man and his Supreme Court has successfully brought our country back many decades. Like we’ve heard by many minority news commentators that all that’s missing in his court are the white hoods!

Roberts’ SCOTUS=Yes, let’s vote in favor of allowing hostile countries to fund US campaigns. After all, campaign funding is a form of free speech.

Roberts’ SCOTUS=Yes, let’s gut the Voting Rights Act because it’s anachronistic since we elected a black President. There’s no such thing as gerrymandering to suppress minority votes. How else can we justify the election of a black US President.

Roberts’ SCOTUS=Yes, let’s not uphold landmark abortion rights and legal precedents get in the way. To hell with stare decisis, let’s overturn Roe v Wade.

[quote]f you think his wife isn't directly responsible for that corrupt opinion, you're an idiot or just a scumbag who believes in certain types being above the law.

Ginni's business has absolutely nothing to do with Clarence, they never discuss their jobs with each other, not over the kitchen table, not in the marital bed, nowhere, nohow.

However, Joe and Hunter Biden, who haven't lived together in decades, don't make a move without each other's express approval.

[quote]Why is anyone surprised by this revelation of complete partisanship and hypocrisy of Robert’s Supreme Court? This man and his Supreme Court has successfully brought our country back many decades. Like we’ve heard by many minority news commentators that all that’s missing in his court are the white hoods!

No one is surprised by any of this, other than Ginni's zealotry & sloppiness put out on the open all those things that Roberts wants to hide; how corrupt & compromised the court. Roberts throws the libs a bone now & then, but he's really no better than Clarence because he protects Clarence.

Exactly! Roberts is simply covering up for Thomas. You mean he never thought to take him aside and ask about a conflict of interest? FCS, he’s still covering up Thomas’ heath condition! He’s been disingenuous about it from the start. WTF is going on in our Supreme Court?

Let’s go on a limb and put forth the premise that he is strongly in favor of an individual state’s rights - that there is little need for much Federal legal oversight. Then why do we need to uphold our very Constitution. To hell with it. It’s just a piece of paper after all. Then why not allow any state to allow the lynching of blacks or paying them less for their work. If you happen to be black (or any minority for that matter) just move to a more liberal state. Where does it all end?

This poses a serious threat to the foundations of our country because it undermines our Constitution and it undermines our very democracy. And John Roberts’ has a lot to do with where we are today both in our own country and his warped rulings to strike down the very protections against the rise of an autocracy such as Russia which we know interfered in the 2016 Presidential election.

Off topic: but here’s more hypocrisy of our SC

How about Will Smith pops her in the face and we call it even for both of them?

Ohhhh…even more partisanship and rudely obvious perjury that will be made by Amy Comic Barrett. BTW, is she going to recuse herself considering her anti-abortion cult membership? Readers demand to know!

R396. RIGHT. After all when the Clarence and Ginny go to bed each night, they sing this song.

Kavanaugh:

“the abortion debate is “hard” and perhaps the court should throw it to the states to decide — essentially ending the federal protection”.

See r398

The Supreme Court has a dominant, arch-conservative Catholic wing. They rule by religious dogma, not civil law.

Why has no atheist organization pushed through a suit to assert the right of the nonreligious to be free of religious dogma in the public sphere, including schools, healthcare, the courts and the laws of the land?

Doesn't it stem from the 1A which says the state cannot establish a religion?

The Supreme Court will absolutely throw it to the states to decide. They’ll wash their hands of it and deplorable states like Mississippi will ban abortions outright and impose the death penalty on women who seek one. And I’m not joking about the death penalty.

That as much is clear in our Constitution. SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. Our founding fathers knew the dangers once these religious zealots start to impose their religious values on the people. They expressly forbid this crossover, but these fucking CONS don’t care about the Constitution once it gets in the way of forcing their religious values on the rest of us. Our founding fathers knew this shit was going to happen! The utter irony is that these so called pious people love to condone gun violence, fascism, pure contempt of the less fortunate and love the subjugation of women. In essence, everything the Bible and Jesus himself preached and taught in their pursuit of white (male) supremacy. I.e. The Federalist Society of white supremacy, Heil Hitler!

[quote]The Supreme Court will absolutely throw it to the states to decide. They’ll wash their hands of it and deplorable states like Mississippi will ban abortions outright and impose the death penalty on women who seek one. And I’m not joking about the death penalty.

Not only do I not think you're joking, I don't think they'll be the only state that does that. And SCOTUS will throw it to the states, without a doubt

Should Clarence Thomas step down

And maybe, just maybe, the women in those states will stop voting Republican just, ya know, cause Jesus and shit.

They’ll throw a lot more back to the states. Any and all hard-earned federal civil rights will be thrown back to the states. Let these deplorable states decide free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of peaceful protest and assembly, etc. No equal protection. Each state can determine equal protection, so goodbye to gay rights in these Con states….nullify same sex marriages in these states, etc. etc….

So certain states like KY, MS, LA are allowed to just decide everything archaic, but states like NY, CA, NJ, MA can't decide we don't want to send our $ to fund those archaic morons. Do you honestly believe if shit states like KY and MS actually had $, they'd be sending it to NY and CA if the shoe were on the other foot?

Then the states should also be able to decide gun legislation. If California wants to ban assault weapons, have a 39 day wait and background check to buy a gun the SCOTUS should fuck right off and GTFO.

Every blue state that wants to restrict assault weapons should be allowed to. And anyone bringing in one from out of state should be arrested and put to death.

It works both ways, assholes.

Thomas has a history of ethical lapses. He repeatedly failed to disclose the huge amount of money Ginni makes from speaking to conservative groups. Many have accused him of taking bribes via those fees. He lied to Congress about Anita Hill. He never should have been confirmed as a Justice.

California Governor Newsom says I gotcha!

R412. NO!

Yes, r414, and every Democratic politician in the country should be raising these questions relentlessly for now. Do we have a treasonous asshole on the Supreme Court? Does he agree with his crazy ass treasonous bitch of a wife? How much is he personally involved with her crazy ass behavior and views? We should not be having quiet little discussions with Liz Cheney about whether or not to subpoena her or trying to divert everything into a little discussion about a Supreme Court Code of Ethics. We should set aside the Democratic Party dream of making everything about rules of conduct and procedural questions.

We should be asking loudly whether Ginni is the only crazy one in the family or if Thomas has also rejected the Constitution of the United States and believes in installing a Republican President by force.

[Watch this thread get buried soon. Too much truth here on how fucked up we are. The powers that be have ways to silent shit like this.]

^^Muriel, is that you?^^^

Mediapolis is here to make money off of gays (yes, you fags) and not to stir up political upheaval! This is a gay forum for bitchery and gossip!!!

…pointless bitchery and gossip. I stand corrected.

Why bother to get money from lib states when KY and Moscow Mitch can get it directly from Russia itself?

If we're going states rights on everything, I'm totally good with not sending tax dollars from the blue states to prop up and subsidize the red states.

Cut off the welfare and disability payments to the meth-addled losers in Appalachia. Then we'll see how much they like the whole states rights issue.

This is “pointless bitchery”, Muriel!

Bitchery because it’s what we DO and pointless because Dems won’t pound this endlessly across all media from now until 2024 like they SHOULD BE DOING!

R423, Huh? Of course Dems are talking about this

They’ve dropped this and started in on The slap, r424.

This needs to be brought up on EVERY FUCKING NEWS SHOW. Nothing else matters.

These traitors have been positioning this for YEARS and they won’t stop until WE end it.

Toss this fat bitch in Gitmo. She can start praying for her christofascist god to save her.

R425, it's mostly the GOP focusing on the slap. Just check out what stories Fox News has run over the past couple days

Thinking this shit starts in Mississippi and others follow is very sterotypic and not that simplistic. Yes, Mississippi has an abortion ban effort before the Supreme Court, but it follows Texas' successful initiative before that. Florida, Alabama, Tennessee,Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana, and others are trying similar. Republican legislators in some states are only stopped by Democratic Governors' veto power. The Democratic Party wrote off the south starting in the late sixties. What was left, fell upon mostly black people with poor funding, dismal organizational efforts, and the lack of support nationally. Big mistake.

Well yes, it's silly to blame it all on Mississippi, and I don't think anyone really does. It's just that Mississippi and Alabama are two of the most extremist, fundamentalist, Christianist states, so anything shitty and stupid can generally find a home there if it can be linked to the Bible. And Democrats didn't just start writing off the South in the 1960s. They started becoming the party of black civil rights, and white Southerners reacted in shock and horror and hatred, and ultimately switched their allegiance to the Republican Party, which gradually became the party of racism and Bible based bullshit.

R425 what are you talking about? The slap is a cultural thing—everyone is talking about it in the gossip world. But no one on the Dem side is letting this go.

R427, as R428 correctly notes, the Democratic Party did not "write off" the South. It became the party of "black civil rights" only because it . . . believed in civil rights. I suppose the alternative would have been to soullessly support segregation, sexism and homophobia.

Scumbag Strom Thurmond who raped his teenage black maid was a Democrat up until civil rights. Fuck the GOP and fuck anyone who tries to defend the South. The white population were mostly fucking shitheads then and they are mostly fucking shitheads now. I'm sorry to the few, white Dems who exist there now, but most of that region is just full of aggressively stupid, racist, white people who can't get over their prejudices. Trump offers them NOTHING but a stroke to the ego which does nothing for their incomes or their lives.

Here Nancy goes again with her soft pedal, softball approach to Ginny Thomas. It seems every time we have these scumbags on the ropes, NDP will forgive them or take harsh measure against them off the table. WHY?? It’s not up to her. Why does she feel the need to open her mouth almost as if to preclude an inclusive discussion. She’s always trying to play nice when these Pukes kick us in the balls every time. Can’t she at least keep her mealy mouth shut for once. Nobody asked her.

^ Yes. Nancy properly acknowledged that, under the Constitution, the Courts are a separate branch of government over which the House of Representatives has no control. ^

You know, the real question is why aren’t the Supreme Court justices held to high ethical standards? Is there some benefit that they make better decisions having no sense of what is or what is not ethical? If so, where has this been studied and published. Also, if this doesn’t feel right to your average American, than it’s up to Congress todo their job and change it so they must be next to impeccable. I mean, even MDs are required to take classes in medical ethics.

How can we really trust these powerful justices that do not need a sense of ethics or engage themselves in less than high ethical behavior? The highest court in the United States.

MARY!

Put pressure on Roberts and the other justices. Label them corrupt. The court has become so politicized, ethics has gone.

It would probably take a constitutional amendment to change anything major about the Supreme Court, sadly. The idea was that appointing the justices for life would somehow put them above the political fray. And, just like the Presidency, there were unwritten protocols to which the justices would adhere that, in modern times, have gone down the toilet.

You know what I always say: keep your passport handy.

R435. How, exactly? Many of us assumed that these judges act at the highest of standards and are beyond reproach. We now learn they are can be highly partisan and need not answer to anyone once they are seated. Thanks to NDP, we now have learned that they must be so special that they need not know how or if behave ethically.

Let’s remind everyone that John Roberts has been undermining our democracy for decades now. Look at his Citizens United ruling! Look at his reversal on the Voters Rights Act. Look at how he has refused to intervene in Texas’ anti-abortion legislation. He’s done this and more! All while staying under the radar of our attention- deficit MSN media. Next up - overturning Roe v. Wade. Well not so much overturning it, but nonetheless placing strict time limits on when a woman can legally get an abortion before these CONS deem it’s “too late” for an abortion.

You know, the likes of (rapist/beer loving) Kavanaugh and anti-abortion cultist Amy Commee Barrett comfort themselves each night by reciting semantics that they would never “overturn” Roe v Wade - however they can assert as much while simultaneously placing draconian restrictions on the time limits on when a woman can legally have an abortion. It could be 16 weeks - or a single fucking day - or whatever these religious zealots hearts’ desire.

They conveniently forget that the US Constitution itself states implicitly that there be a SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!!! The Constitution forbids using one’s religious beliefs to restrict the freedom of choice for the American citizen. This is the very embodiment of hypocrisy, partisanship and corruption that has overtaken every corner of our democracy and these CONservatives.

FIRST AMENDMENT of the US Constitution in its original form:

Another: Note that the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights was intended by our founding Fathers as a protection against our GOVERNMENT bodies of imposing a religion upon the American people. I’d certainly qualify the SCOTUS and our Congress as being included as a part of our governing body.

Trump and top GQP allies and cohorts are exempt from legal consequences in breaking federal laws and NY laws. Thank Garland and Bragg for that.

And honestly that matters to them r435. They have been feeling that and running around giving speeches about how we are too nonpartisan, dammit. They know they are slipping into being just another hyperpartisan institution and they can't ultimately afford that. It is a social contract: we agree to respect their decisions as the ultimate authority, and they agree not to be just another partisan gang. If they drop their end of the bargain, bad things can follow, like people on the ground ignoring court decisions. In the harsh words of Andrew Jackson: The Court has decided, now let them enforce it if they can.

The GOP has been conducting a reign of terror since 2016 by shunting any and all laws drawn by any legal institution or committee. This method has served them well given the DEMS impotence and the likes of NDP and the the feckless Merrick Garland and his DOJ.

Just like Will Smith, nothing will happen to her....

“The Court has decided and let them enforce it.”

Seriously? You don’t think that dogs like DeSatan and Texas’ Abbott will not enforce it? Any handful of these yee-haw Southern white supremacist dog governors will smack their lips while enforcing it. They’d shoot and lynch them if it weren’t for the bad press. Be real!

But that's exactly the problem, r445. The law then becomes a purely partisan endeavor, where Republican Governors say yes to it and Democrats say no, or vice versa, and everything gets chaotic. I do not want that world, and that is why I want to see a hard push against Clarence Thomas, because it looks like he and his wife have given up on the Constitution altogether and just want to ensure Republican presidents. His wife definitely. I need to know if he agrees with her, and everyone needs to be asking that. It goes well beyond recusal. If he can't be trusted on elections, he needs to resign.

It's simple, someone just has to give old Moscow Covid and let his failing, rotting body do the rest.

I agree with you, r446.

The big AND here is that nothing will be done about it. Congress doesn’t have any recourse to fix this nor does the President.

All WE can do is continue to scream about it and hope the stench gets too bad even for that shitstain Roberts.

He has presided over the most corrupt SCOTUS in living memory (and possibly history).

Wow! Too much of a girl!

Mucha Muchacha!

[quote] Sadly, the people who helped deprogram Ginni were also apparently involved in right-wing causes. As is the case with SO many former members, she was overly susceptible and went from one cult to another (The Cult of Trump).

Ginni is a cult hopper. Apparently she craves belonging to a group(s) that accepts her, and is compatible with her far right upbringing. I would not call her psychologically stable.

She did not just stumble into these cults.

She has a law degree.

Heinous slag. She’s worse than fucking Cuntessa Conway

R452, having a law degree doesn't mean much when you're insane. Rudy and Kraken lady also have law degrees - and they were both US Attorneys, which is frightening.

I repeat, this bitch is nuts. (and she's married to one of nine lifetime appointed SCOTUS Justices. That should terrify everyone)

Ginni Thomas is a woman who has sought answers, certainty, God, and salvation.

From younger days Ginni has had a cult-member mentality, and in her later years believes she has found solace and certainty within the Republican version of Christianity and morality. The Far-Right Wing of the Republican Party is her grown-up cult.

Marriage to one of the 9 Justices who rule on our laws, that is, to a man whose decisions help determine the certainty Ginni needs deep in her psyche, is the cherry atop her Manichean world-view of Good vs. Evil.

Hers is the mind-set that accepts that the ends justify using any and all means---legal, ethical, moral, or not---to defeat the minions of evil, be they Democrats, immigrants, gays, etc.

Obamacare? Satan. Anti-Trump? Beelzebub. Social Security checks? From the Third Circle of Hell. It's all EVIL!

TL;DR = Ginni Thomas is nuts.

R454

Clarence & Ginni & Rudy & Sidney

Ewww. Hope a movie is not made.

Maybe Ginni will release an album to cover her legal costs.

OMG, r61! People should be ashamed.

[quote]With the exception of some week-after apologetics and philosophizing, the Thomases, who have not offered up one word of explanation or justification for this new apparent conflict, yet again surf the wave of public outrage to the peaceful shore of “Nothing Matters LOL.” Clarence Thomas will not be removed. He will not recuse himself from future Jan. 6 cases. Ginni Thomas will not comply with a subpoena or testify before the Jan. 6 Committee. New ethics rules will not be produced by the court that might bind the court such that future conflicts don’t arise. Chief Justice John Roberts will do little or nothing to prevent justices from sitting on cases in which their spouses assist with amicus briefs and do work for parties. Nothing whatsoever will change, and as a consequence, the next revelation about a product of the Thomases’ amazing marriage of openly political work will also someday wash up on the sandy beaches of “Nevermind.”

R460 depressing but sounds accurate

the news media has moved on. Millions of Americans never even heard about the story a couple weeks ago. The ones who did have mostly forgotten it now except those of us who really care

Tell Putin Ginni is president of the Ukrainian liberation front, and maybe he'll arrange a massive heart attack for her.

HAS ANYTHING HAPPEN TO HER YET?

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

The House 1/06 investigative committee has not requested her testimony.

She was a bigger player than many thought in the bogus 'stop the steal' and insurrection-related activities. She has a track record of dialogue with Trump, Meadows, and others. There are stories about her role in fundraising and transport. She slides, so far, with not even having to give any account under oath.
