    I first heard of this diary a couple years ago.

    And I don't think anyone who's looked at it has any doubts that it's real.

    But here's what happened: she was in rehab. Another guy in rehab (maybe she had a relationship with him) stole the diary and sold it. It's boring except for that one comment. That apparently came out of some therapy session - some kind of prompt like "is there anything in your childhood that may explain how you got here?" It's in the category of a recovered/"suppressed" memory. It is in the category of Blasey-Ford's recovered memory about Brett Kavanaugh. I didn't put any credence in that, and I don't in this. Ashley Biden is not continuing to advance some theory about her father being sexually inappropriate. 

    Because of that, it's really inappropriate to keep publicizing private writings of a drug addict (at the time) who had those writings stolen by another drug addict.

    Never looked into this cuz I never thought it plausible.  Thank you.  But I don't think Blasey- Ford concocted her story.  Kavanaugh is Tucker carlson on SCOTUS- an obnoxious, priviledged, arrogant preppy.  Releasing the writings of anyone with mental health issues is way wrong unless they agree to release them (some authors and artists).

    I’m sorry, I suppose the reality of how things actually work is a concept far too difficult for you to understand. 
     

    Maybe grab some toy blocks to smash together and leave the rest of this to the adults.

    He's too busy anesthetizing, intubating, ventilating, reviving and monitoring critically ill surgical patients, don't you know....

    REMINDER:

     

     

    The usual PPP suspects whine and spin their 'takes' on Justice Thomas,

     

    then howl in protest when the left's organized assault on the Supreme Court is documented.

     

    No matter, their complaints will get them nowhere, despite their spittle-ridden posts.

     

    Not ONE example of a case that his opinion has been 'compromised' on  has been given.

     

    Why is that ?

     

     

    Don't bother, there isn't any.

     

     

     

    .

    the justices unanimously signed a document explaining the rules of ethics.  There was no "slamming" of D senators in the signed letter.  You and the writer of this article are mischaracterizing it at best, lying at worst.  The letter in no way implies  that they unanimously agree that all members are following them.  The chief justice's refusal to appear before a senate subcommittee based on the premise that few other justices have appeared before congress is weak but within his rights.

     

    This is the case example I alluded to:  https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21a272_9p6b.pdf.  Others have cited other examples.  Watch the hearings and find out.....

    Conflict of interest: 

    The thread is about Uncle Clarence.  If you can't keep up, drop out.

    Such language described by Orwell is called doublespeak. It is explained by William Lutz, author of the book “Doublespeak”, as language which “makes the bad seem good, the negative appear positive, the unpleasant appear attractive or at least tolerable. It is language that conceals or prevents thought.”

    Genuine growth would come from working to broaden that declining base, not merely shoring it up. According to insiders, while the absence of a traditional corporate structure has granted Carlson increased autonomy, it has also eliminated a crucial layer of editorial oversight. These sources have noted a shift towards targeting a less discerning audience, emphasising sensationalism over substantive discourse in order to keep the attention of more credulous viewers — one insider notes a current “audience minus about 10-15 IQ points from the prime-time show” — interested in space aliens and Obama’s alleged gay trysts.

     

    Sounds about right.

    I'd file some ham sandwiches. Jees, you guys are amazing. You need a flippen clue of what a conflict of interest even is.

    i'd like folks like you to disappear.  Unfortunately that isn't going to happen.  But thanks for playing...Maybe a reading comprehension class would help.  You mistook opacity for transparency.  It's orwellian doublespeak and you're not good at it.

    So you believe Thomas is conflicted by allowing greater transparency?

    read the article again.  He ruled for opacity that stood to benefit trump and his own wife. 

    "Alone among the justices, Clarence Thomas said he would have granted Trump’s request to keep the documents on hold."

    What case? It's kind of hard to discuss anything with you without you at least suggesting the case he was conflicted on

    “Justice Thomas participated in cases related to Donald Trump’s efforts to rig and then overturn the 2020 election, while his wife was pushing to do the same. He was the lone dissent in a case that could have denied the January 6th Committee records pertaining to the same plot his wife supported.

    “At the bare minimum, Justice Thomas needs to recuse himself from any case related to the January 6th investigation, and should Donald Trump run again, any case related to the 2024 election.”  Wyden speaking again to senators in the finance committee,

    LOL

     

    This is pure speculation and very partisan. Wyden needs to change bait and spots on this fishing expedition.

    what part do you disagree with?  Be specific.  he's documenting committee findings and Thomas refusal to respond. btw, the most obvious benefactor of his judicial largesse is his wife in regards to Jan 6.

    Guess who lied about meeting Kim Jon Un?

    The most astonishing, stupid self-disqualifying book ever.

    Yeah, these folks don't like experts.  They're "elites".  Here's another stupid pol that doesn't bother to listen or enlist the help of experts:  https://www.outdoorlife.com/opinion/kentucky-bill-legalize-killing-hawks/  Even if the bill passes, they'll still be huge federal fines.  Following the rules isn't a strong suit for these people....

    I have no problem killing animals that pose a threat

    you could have a big problem:  The Migratory Bird Treaty Act and state laws make it illegal to kill, capture, possess (actual bird or parts of, including feathers), harass, or harm any bird of prey. Violations are punishable by fines of $5,000 to $250,000 or more, jail sentences, confiscation of possessions, and revocation of licenses.

    Says an awful lot about what a ***t society we’ve devolved into.   

    How far do you go?  IUD’s work by preventing implantation of fertilized eggs. Should they be illegal?  In biblical times they did camel birth control by similar means - a pebble in the plumbing. Are those folks in hell?
