Kemp Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 As we know, Trump projects all of his evil and crimes onto his opponents. Trump was right about The Deep State, except HIS people are The Deep State. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 What a couple of scum bags. ProPublica cited a nine-day trip that Thomas and his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, took to Indonesia in 2019, shortly after the court released its final opinions of the term. That trip, which included flights on Crow’s jet and island-hopping on a superyacht, would have cost the couple more than $500,000, if they had paid for it themselves, the publication said.

Those from both parties do it. If you don’t think so, you’re whistling past the graveyard. It doesn’t bother me because we are talking about a SC justice who understands the Constitution as written and wants to preserve it. The individual(s) in your example view the document as a merely a suggestion and no more than a speed bump on the road to destroying it - and our Nation. That’s a much more worrisome situation, so yeah I’d be upset about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully 61 percent of Republicans supported declaring the United States a Christian nation. In other words, even though over half of Republicans previously said such a move would be unconstitutional, a majority of GOP voters would still support this declaration.

I'm no fan of his wife's political activities, which seem: (1) insane; (2) ridiculously ill-advised given her husband's job. But I have defended him as a Justice based on his adherence to a particular view of the law (even though its not my view) - an steadfast adherence that sometimes has led him to split ranks with the standard Republican position. And I also believed his thing about loving the common man's RVing, Walmart parking vacations instead of the wining and dining his colleagues get when they go to Europe to "teach" a summer class for 6 weeks. So much for the Last of The Regular Guys in Washington meme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wealthy people usually spend money to advance their own ends. They didn't get rich (or stay rich) giving things away indiscriminately. These people are very likely not friends. They are biz associates. I suspect ole uncle Tom and his homely wife don't have many good friends. Edited April 8, 2023 by redtail hawk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is some evidence of inappropriate behavior or anything related to suggested bribery, so state. If not, shut up. Your views on the rich are meaningless. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
