Clarence Thomas Has Reportedly Been Accepting Gifts From Republican Megadonor Harlan Crow For Decades—And Never Disclosed It

Lets just call it like it is. The Thomas’ are a DC power couple. Ginni Thomas is a highly influential Republican activist and Clarence is Scalia’s Ghost.

Ginni Thomas, who admits to previously being in a cult during the 90’s, is full on Qanon.

From her own texts while she was working different Trump cabinet members, she texted Mark Meadows that she fully believed in the “ballots from China/testing for bamboo paper” and “Trump secretly watermarked ballots in a sting operation”. That’s Q.

She also texted to Meadows about how the “Biden Crime Family” (lol) had been arrested and were on their way to Guantanomo. Full on Qanon.

She pushed for Sidney Powell to be the face and lead the “sToP tHe sTeAl”.

She exhorted much of Trumps cabinet and state SoS’s with “There are no rules in war” “end of Liberty”, basically she’s your average thedonald dot win poster.

Which begs the question, how much of that does Clarence Thomas believe?

My wife is a liberal who supports transgenders. How much of that do you think I believe?

Just so I have this straight…

Alvin Bragg, the black Manhattan DA is somehow funded by Soros. He’s compromised, should testify before congress and likely be indicted himself.

Clarence Thomas, the black Supreme Court Judge, may have received millions of dollars of vacations and perks over the last 20 years from Republican billionaire Crow. This is nothing but a racist witch hunt.

Miss anything?

Let me get this straight. Republicans should not be allowed to discuss the hyper political activities of the judges daughter in the Bragg case, but it’s a terrible conflict that Thomas’ wife is a Trump supporter.

Really? You don’t see a huge difference between a spousal relationship and one with a grown daughter? Speaking for myself, I talk to my wife for hours every day, and my daughter for a little while maybe every few weeks. My daughter’s (obviously) of a different generation, and I’m pretty sure her political views, if she was political at all, wouldn’t have much if any influence on mine.

Gee I never thought of trying to talk my wife out of liberalism.

I can say with pretty absolute certainty that if either my wife or I were R/Conservative, we wouldn’t be going on 39 years (or ever been married in the first place).

That’s crazy. Can’t separate politics from personal ?

There are quite a few couples who don’t see eye to eye on politics .

It’s not entirely uncommon.

Girl I’m with now was super anti-firearm (she’s slowly coming around). I’m very pro second amendment and I carry. We also have a few significant political disagreements; she’s pretty far to the left on most things. I’m more centrist on most issues, lean left on labor, lean very right on fundamental rights.

On my end, she’s super sweet, not a man hating insane person like a lot of left leaning girls, has good potential wife vibes. First girl I’ve ever dated that actually likes to cook instead of throwing it on me. It’s utterly shocking considering who I’ve dated in the past, most of whom were blue haired insane women who saw me only for sex and money. It’s a nice change of pace.

I dunno what it is, but I’ve always ended up with girls who had opposite political and social views to me. But she’s different. Yes she’s pretty left wing, but she feels like more of those classic 80s progressives rather than the ultra woke crazy women I’ve been with in the past five years or so.

Except for that one super social conservative baptist girl I dated for two years. She had the exact opposite set of problems. God forbid someone brought up the separation of church and the state. She would go nuts.

@DougBH

Mostly they just notice that the DA’s he support tend to be ultra left who try to undermine the enforcement against violent crime or thefts,

Do you support Trump’s First Step Act- the bill that

…reduces mandatory minimum sentences in certain instances and expands on “good time credits” for well-behaved prisoners looking for shorter sentences.

It also instructs the Department of Justice to establish a risk and needs assessment system to classify inmate’s risk and provide guidance on “housing, grouping, and program assignment.”

…

It was one of the few things he did in office. Or is that ultra leftist?

“That is no excuse,’ replied Mr. Brownlow. ‘You were present on the occasion of the destruction of these trinkets, and indeed are the more guilty of the two, in the eye of the law; for the law supposes that your wife acts under your direction.’

‘If the law supposes that,’ said Mr. Bumble, squeezing his hat emphatically in both hands, ‘the law is a ass—a idiot. If that’s the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor; and the worst I wish the law is, that his eye may be opened by experience”

All it took to destroy the legitimacy of SCOTUS was for it to gain a Reactionary majority.

Confidence in SCOTUS has already cratered to the lowest levels in history, and now we got Crooked Clarence and his wife Qinni to deal with.

Stop breaking everything you guys touch.

If the left doesn’t like the result they consider the method illegitimate. Conservatives just accept they can’t win all the time.

[DougBH]

Totally different than just refusing to enforce laws on theft under certain dollar amounts even as those laws are still on the books.
There is a difference between reform of laws and ignoring laws on a whim.

Great- so yes you support that bill?
