Clarence and Ginni Thomas documentary

Thanks! will tape it now.

Utter contempt for others and most especially, America

Even the Menendez Brothers were a more likeable pair than these two.

Can you imagine having a boss like him, leaning over you talking about Long Dong Silver and telling you there's a pubic hair on his Coke?

I'm surprised there's so little interest in this topic. They are a fucking match made in hell and he is one of the most influential and important men in this country.

They both are so ugly, maybe why less people want to watch?

Watched the doc. The USA is off its axis when 2 shites like this can rise to the top.

May brain cancer occur to them simultaneously and bring them both to a swift end.

R6 They're looks have little to do with their enormous influence on this country.

Brain cancer is painless. I want their's to hurt. I can't believe nothing will happen to them. Crazy Michael Bolton changed him from Black Panther to...whatever he is now back in college

He's a self-loathing black man and she's just batshit insane. Two horrible, awful people.

Guess who's paying for dinner? NOT US!

What r6 said

I taped it then deleted before watching

The best description of Clarence was Elie Mystal calling him "Justice Sunken Place"

He claims he comes 'good stock.' I've never heard a black man ever use that term for themselves..

Watched it, she is much more awful than I realized, and the only reason she seems to have for being so mean and destructive is because she's always had more than most people (cushy enough upbringing) and just hates other people because they have less . . . and she has nothing else to do with her time?

It seems meaningless, her deep hatred, and was quite scary. She's up for burning it all down.

It's crazy right? I'm not even what I'd consider that great a person, but I'm a goddamned saint compared to this pack of jackals

Will anything happen to this guy and/or his wife? Is the media afraid to go after the Thomases?

Is this Ginni from billing?

Clarence is a self hating black man. An uncle Tom. He would be first up to trade in the Racial Draft Lottery. Black people don't want him.

Bump for these repulsive toads.

Talk about traitors of this country. They should both be caged.

This documentary proves how cowardly the media are. The story is put right in their lap but none of the major news outlets want to touch it. They'd rather play with the White House.

Please don't denigrate Uncle Tom by comparing him that disgusting man, r22!

R25, the fact that the WHCD exists, is why you will never see real journalism anymore. People like Andrea Mitchell would rather be at cocktail parties with the Thomases than actually hold them accountable.

I think we will never see real journalism again until we get back the law Reagan(?) put in that dismantled the press.

R28 ?? I'm ignorant about this law. Please share.

I think he means the Fairness Doctrine.

I might have known his wife would be white.

[quote]the fact that the WHCD exists, is why you will never see real journalism anymore. People like Andrea Mitchell would rather be at cocktail parties with the Thomases than actually hold them accountable.

R25 / R27 True! The media and their sources are so tight, news reporters wouldn't dare acknowledge wrongdoing for fear of losing their source.

I finally finished watching the Frontline episode last night. Clarence and Ginni are scum. Nuts, greedy, mean, and vengeful.

Fucking John Bolton was his best friend at Yale Law.

Hillary & Bill Clinton were at Yale Law at same time. Bolton convinced Thomas that white liberals were the biggest enemies of African Americans. Bolton had a hard on for the Clintons way back then. How dare they have different politics?

What a strange life Thomas has lived. He hates blacks (due to internal racism in the black community, treating darker skinned worse) and most whites. Sounds like his mother might’ve been a prostitute. He had no relationship with whoever fathered him. Then a succession of what they said were men who “weren’t any kind of father figure.” Another person said, “She did what she had to do.”

She sent him to his abusive, dark skinned grandfather who sent him to catholic school. The nuns loved him and encouraged him. He went to seminary but had to drop out because of racism. Then he won a scholarship to Holy Cross. He had some black classmates who all appeared to be lighter skinned. He got involved in civil rights at school but seemed to give it up because he was angry that people believed he was inferior to white students because of affirmative action. Then came Yale Law where Bolton turned him into a hater of white democrats.

His eyes. Even in his earliest photos his eyes are intense and ….scary.

The thing that was the most telling about Thomas’s character was the end of his Yale Law days.

Thomas had been so sure he was discriminated against at Yale, even by his more privileged fellow black students, that he spent the bulk of the time wearing a t-shirt and overalls everywhere. He made a spectacle of himself to show to the world he was more disadvantaged, more put upon than the rest of the world. Well, when time comes for everyone to get recruited by big law firms, no one wants Clarence.

No shit, Sherlock! What did he expect, all the old white-shoe law firms to jump at the chance to employ a stunt queen agitator what may or may not decide to stage a protest by wearing overalls to work?

It’s almost as if he created a situation in which he was so offensive that no one would have anything to do with him just to prove his martyr mentality was warranted. Once this self fulfilling prophecy came true, he then took that as license to become vindictive, abusive, and a sell out.

It alarmist like the marriage to Ginny plays into this. Want to prove that America is really against the black man? Get a white wife and then they’ll really treat you badly, proving your point.

I found this documentary grim from the start and then it started to make me sick. I turned it off. We know who these cunts are.

An Oreo cookie and a fruitcake.

For non Americans, is this available online?

It’s on YouTube

I could have done without the scene showing an enormous black cock slamming into a fire crotch the night they met.

I wonder why they never had kids.

I loved Ginni's family "complimenting" Clarence about when they first met him: "He was so nice, you didn't even notice he was Black."

[quote]"He was so nice, you didn't even notice he was Black."

I told a Black friend of mine that remark and she laughed so hard.

Ginny's upbringing was nuts too. She has a real "I was molested" vibe.

I was surprised to see that even when Ginni was still a schoolgirl living with her parents in Iowa, that Republicans were already demonizing liberals. Her parents were John Birchers, the rabid conservatives righter than right, who were already smearing liberals as un-American.

I'm 73, a native Californian, and remember John Birchers in the 60s and 70s, many living in Orange County (So Cal). Birchers were thought to be extreme even then. Hateful people completely out of step with reality. To my open, liberal family, they were creepy. My father was a joyful progressive, a businessman in a gay neighborhood who hired minorities, refugees and immigrants. He gave everyone a chance, helped many promote and succeed. Richly rewarded with loyal employees and friends, a lesson for uptight conservatives who don't know how to live and let live and appreciate the good in all people.

Thanks R39, but it's restricted and doesn't play in Australia unfortunately.

- R38

I remember hearing about the John Birch Society, so I looked it up and discovered that one of the founders (1958) was Fred Koch of Koch Industries. Those Koch people cut quite a swath through 20th and 21st-century America, huh?

R27, R32, your posts made me think of legendary NYT street-fashion photographer Bill Cunningham, who was invited to all the big society parties but would never take in so much as a glass of water at those events and kept himself apart from the attendees he was there to cover. A fashion photographer had more principles than the White House press corps.

Try this one, R46. Good luck!

Terry Gross with Fresh Air on NPR just had a show on the John Birch Society which was very informative to those who don’t know a lot about them.

Thanks R48, but it doesn't play in Australia.

I've seen several Frontline docus on youtube here and they were always excellent and very informative. Maybe the youtube link will play here in a few weeks. We probably can only watch the older ones.

That garbage wife of his relapsed back into her cult habits.

I don’t think she ever left her cult habits, R51.

What r33 said. Clarence and Ginni are disgusting people, and she's also a nutcase. It's a disgrace that he's on the Supreme Court.

[quote]I loved Ginni's family "complimenting" Clarence about when they first met him: "He was so nice, you didn't even notice he was Black."

This alone shows you how self-loathing and disgraceful he is.

It probably bears saying that Ginni kept the fact that Clarence was black a secret from most, though one assumes she told her immediate family, until the wedding. People showed up to the ceremony in Omaha to discover that conservative little Ginni Lamp was marrying a black man. I’m sure it was shocking.

I wonder if they chose not to have kids due to her racist family. They didn't want one of them "half-breeds" as part of their family. Heaven forbid that he or she may have grown up to become something horrifying like president!

Is she very tall or is he very small? They are an odd couple!

Uncle Tom and the Fat Cow

You would think the DOJ would investigate these two. But you'd be wrong.

You would think the democrats would pressure John Roberts to come to come up with a code of ethics for scumbag coworkers. But you'd be wrong.

As usual the democrats have no supreme court strategy, of any kind, at all.

Democrats don't have the votes to impeach and remove him, just stop R59. This would not have happened if people had listened to Hillary Clinton in the first place.

Ginni is 6 feet 2 inches tall. Clarence is 5 feet 9 inches tall.

Ron DeSantis is 4 feet 3 inches. But 5'11" in heels.

That's a big tall bitch

Music to R59's ears, I hope, as it is to mine.

These two are going to get through this unscathed. The media treat it like a one off mini-drama.

They get away with everything

bump...let's not forget these asswipes.

Both of them were simply born bad. Something was left out of them, and they’ve lived lives of selfishness, mockery, and inflicting pain on strangers and associates alike.

Angry unpleasant man. Radiates hostility. I always laugh at the dumb twitter lib feminists who act like non white men will be more tolerant .Never forget how the media took his side against Anita Hill. The D.C. political press is more misogynistic than a frat house full of drunk hockey players.

The Supreme Court is more powerful than the President or Congress. Is it possible to remove a Supreme Court Judge?

Who wants to bet George Santos is the child they gave to their housekeeper. And promptly put her on a one way flight back to Brazil with $100 and her booby prize.

Clarence Back Door Access Thomas

I grew up in Omaha Nebraska. Like Ginni did. I'm a year older than her. I was bussed into the all black school North High. I'm white and I was the minority at that high school. North High then was the BAD school. It was the best education and the teachers were incredible. I'm class of 1974. Made so many friends.

Ginni went to Westside(whiteside) High school. The richi rich high school for whites. Assholes.

So she was on the debate team? I was on the debate team. Must have debated against that bitch. We kicked ass in debate!!! The other teams thought we were idiots because it was North High.

I wonder if my parents crossed paths with her parents. My Mother was a Liberal Republican (later Democrat) who hated the Birchers. My Father was a Northern Democrat(not dixiecrat) and a member of the ACLU. Both were artists. My Mother taught art at Creighton University. Both my parents were Unitarians and took me to march with MLK. My parents moved around in a lot of circles. Which they were alive to ask them. They would have had NOTHING to do with that trash.

Me again. Wish they were alive.

Response to the documentary's casting:

"I don't care what they tell you in school, Clarence Thomas was black"

Who knows how much damage these two have really done over the years.

Agree with r68

It's obscene that Thomas is on the Supreme Court. His wife is just batshit crazy.

Clarence Thomas corruption explodes:

[quote]the fact that the WHCD exists, is why you will never see real journalism anymore. People like Andrea Mitchell would rather be at cocktail parties with the Thomases than actually hold them accountable.

[quote][R25] / [R27] True! The media and their sources are so tight, news reporters wouldn't dare acknowledge wrongdoing for fear of losing their source.

The media will always protect their sources instead of investigating them. Andrea Mitchell is the worst. She plays her sources like a fiddle. If she comes down on someone, all it means is they didn't cooperate with her by feeding her a tidbit.

What a 🤡

So many of Trump's minions were so sure Tweety would triumph and become Dictator, that they thought they'd have complete immunity whatever they did.

The John Birch Society was very active and strong in Texas. Had huge billboards up and were essentially the "fathers" of the White Nationalist Extremists we have today. Same fucking agenda. They fired up their supporters so much that when JFK's ambassador to the United Nations, Adlai Stevenson came to Dallas for a speech, they attacked him physically outside his hotel. He begged PResident Kennedsy not to go to Dallas. I think this was just a few weeks before the assassination.

They are simply a vile couple who are completely unaware of their dystopian and regressive world view replete with blatant hypocrisies and self righteous invasion of the lives of other people. Their entitlement is astounding. And she is simple stupid, which I suppose you cannot really hold against her.

Exactly, Charlie. And people like them live in a bubble associating only with the like-minded.

Clarence Thomas isn't fit to be a county judge in Bumfucke, never mind on the Supreme Court. It's obscene.

The PBS doc is being repeated tonight (7/21) and I'm watching again. What a couple of pigs! Ugh. We must put term limits on SCOTUS. I wonder if Biden is ashamed of his support of Thomas and dismissal of Anita Hill's testimony. How great would it be if Ginni Thomas was indicted for her involvement in January 6!

Thomas told his SCOTUS staff that he refused to listen, read, or pay attention to mainstream media. He got his information from Ginni and Rush Limbaugh. Staff were instructed to record Limbaugh's show for him if he was going to miss it.

If that's true R87, he's unfit to be a judge at all, having ideas of supreme idiocy and hate.

If his previous staff is to be believed, the post must be true. They were quoted in the documentary.

Bump

The doc was shown again on PBS this evening. Great viewing if you want to raise your blood pressure.

OK I missed it. Where can I See it? Is it streaming?

r92 it's on Youtube, at the link.

It can't be said enough what disgusting pigs those two are.

I always took her for a self loathing dyke in denial.

The clips of her riling up crowds are cringe-y. She doesn't have an ounce of charisma or presence; all she has is Clarence's name and she's riding that for all she can to create a reason for her own existence.

When will the Prager U version be released?

Finally, a news network has addressed the problem with this clown! Jake talked about it on CNN this afternoon. Probably won't go anywhere but, goddam, why are all the big news networks ignoring this. They are so fucking fascinated with Trump. All cowards afraid to tackle this topic -- SCOTUS! Lifetime terms!

Fuck them both until they fucking die.

I loved in the confirmation hearings when he said that he was not accepted into law school through an affirmative action program. Rather he said, it was a program reaching out to qualified blacks.

That talent for rationalization and self-delusion told us what kind of justice he would be.

That no one called him out on his distinction without a difference told us where this country was going.

R100 Yes, he got so many passes on his bullshit responses during the hearing from both the committee and the media. They wanted him to be the Magical Negro.

She's the perfect example of the people who fell for Trump. Who tied all their hopes and dreams to him: this is our chance!

You would never imagine she'd get on the Trump bus. So inappropriate and so much to lose. But caught-up in the euphoria- like so many- she felt emboldened.

And as a result drew a laser focus to Long Dong's secret life of trips, gifts and prizes. Now that's all they'll be remembered for: grifter clowns.

[quote]Now that's all they'll be remembered for: grifter clowns.

We can only hope. It needs to be uncovered NOW by the media but it won't be touched. No news outlet has the balls.

This couple needs to be tarred and feathered.

^^Not good enough for them. They need to die in a grease fire.

My favorite moment in the documentary was when a friend commented on Clarence's oft repeated claim that he could not get a job out of Yale because people thought he was accepted under affirmative action.

His friend points out that it wasn't affirmative action that kept them from hiring him. The reason they did not hire him was because he was black.

Even without affirmative action he would still be black and those firms would not have hired him.

Let's not forget these grifters!

Please keep these assholes in the news. The idea that he's in a position to make life-changing decisions is mind boggling.

So all this could have been avoided if Clarence Thomas had discovered bleaching cream in his teen years and if Ginni Thomas had just admitted she was a dyke and had decent sex for once in her life.

God I hate these dumb motherfuckers. I hate them! Hate.

I'm certain PBS was totally objective.

Fuck you, Ginni -- Please watch the Anita Hill doc AND acknowledge your phone call to her.

Gin I Thomas is a cow

Ginni*

Just watched the Anita Hill doc. Ginni asking her to APOLOGIZE makes me want to puke.

Has Ginni ever acknowledged that phone call she made to Anita? After all this bullshit, Anita deserves her own statue, street, or national holiday. Fuck the Thomases and the men who put him in charge of ruling on our country's laws.
