Clarence Thomas never repaid a millionaire friend’s $267,000 loan which the Supreme Court justice used to buy a 40-foot luxury motorcoach, Senate investigators announced Wednesday.
Healthcare magnate Anthony Welters told the Senate Finance Committee he forgave the RV loan after five years of receiving payments on the interest but not the principal, the report states.
“Now we know that Justice Thomas had up to $267,230 in debt forgiven and never reported it on his ethics forms,” Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden, (D-OR) said in a statement.
Wyden called on Thomas to specify exactly how much of the debt he paid and whether the loan was reported on tax returns.
Fines should scale with networth. I think a country or two in the UK do that, and someone got like a $100k speeding ticket.
I think you mean a country in Europe.
The UK is a country, and
countries don’t have countriesin them*. As a side note to add, the UK is in Europe, but not in the EU.* looks like I was wrong. Normally countries don’t have countries in them - but the UK does!
Don’t tell that to Scottish and Welsh people.
Which aren’t countries anymore, but maybe not for much longer. The semi-united kingdom.
You tell that to them and see if they agree with you.
I’m sure they would agree that they don’t want to be part of the UK for much longer, yes.
What’s your point?
No. They have called themselves countries for centuries.
Wikipedia thinks they’re countries too, by the way. Read the very first sentence.

What they want to call themselves is irrelevant.
However, what the UK calls them IS relevant, and it seems I am quite wrong - they are countries in a country… in a way.
