No word salad. Just plain old corruption on the SCOTUS bench.

Status Kuo:"Thomas had previously been on notice of having failed to report gifts and knew there were strict requirements around reporting. Further, Crow had befriended the Thomases only after Clarence Thomas became a justice.

In short, Crow wasn't trying to make friends; Crow was trying to influence the law. "Yesterday, ProPublica followed up with an even bigger bombshell: not only had Crow showered expensive gifts upon the Thomases that went unreported, he had also bought real estate from Thomas which he failed to report. This is far more serious a problem for Thomas because the laws around disclosing the sale of investments and real property are clear, not fuzzy at all. And the transaction and arrangement that the parties made demonstrates that actual money flowed from Crow to Thomas'in short, a bribe."

It would appear that Clarence is a tad careless about the letter of the law in these United States of America.

[Ginni Thomas earned more than $686,000 from the conservative Heritage Foundation from 2003 until 2007, according to the nonprofit's tax forms. Clarence Thomas checked a box labeled 'none' for his wife's income during that period. He had done the same in 2008 and 2009 when she worked for conservative Hillsdale College.]

So who exactly told him that he didn't have to report gifts in the hundreds of thousands?

Names, please.

And he didn't report 2 significant speaking fees from a particular law school. And for quite a few years he continued reporting income from a corporation owned by his wife and her family that had been sold to another family entity. The list grows longer by the day.

Today's headline: "Russians boasted that just 1% of fake social profiles are caught"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, back in the Trumpenbenchplatz, it comes to light that Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk,
"was required to list all of his published work on a questionnaire submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee, including 'books, articles, reports, letters to the editor, editorial pieces, or other published material you have written or edited' asked the <Texas Law Review> publication to remove his name from an " article he authored that argued "Obama had discounted religious physicians who 'cannot use their scalpels to make female what God created male' and 'cannot use their pens to prescribe or dispense abortifacient drugs designed to kill unborn children.'

But a few months after the piece arrived, an editor at the law journal who had been working with Kacsmaryk received an unusual email: Citing 'reasons I may discuss at a later date,' Kacsmaryk, who had originally been listed as the article's sole author, said he would be removing his name and replacing it with those of two colleagues at his legal group"


With such dishonorable freaks on the bench, there's good reason for people to disrespect the judiciary of the US.

It's a fact of life that this fake "fact" is regularly dumped on social media and then gobbled up by gloaters and spit back as proof of how inept things are when Democrats are in the White House. And the reality is brought to light. And then it happens yet again. And some people just refuse to learn. Pentagon.....trillions missing they trumpet.

And it's running yet again.

<<Trillions missing. Pentagon. Love it.>>

Do you have an actual legitimate source?
Or did you receive the transmission through your tinfoil hat?

Oh, I don't know. I have had friends pay for my entire vacation in luxury locations, fly me around on their private jet, and lavish $2000 a bottle champagne on me before. Hasn't everyone?

And then do it again year after year after year.

Is this unusual?

Hopefully Kavanaugh and Alito are watching, and get in on the gravy train.
