Clarence Thomas’s $267,230 R.V. and the Friend Who Financed It - eviltoast

The vehicle is a key part of the justice’s just-folks persona. It’s also a luxury motor coach that was funded by someone else’s money.

      If your mom goes to the restaurant that you work at and you charge her a medium for large fries. That is the level of corruption I am ok with. You are allowed to super size the person who brought you into existence fries for free.

      Now let me know if you have any more difficult questions I can sort out for you.

          At one point, republicans need to show proof or shut the fuck up. They’ve been talking about the stupid laptop for years to eventually admit they have dogshit. They claim to have dirt on Hunter Biden but never back it up.

          It is clearly a diversion tactic as usual.

          If they do have dirt on him, throw the book at Hunter/Joe Biden. Until then, shut the fuck up.

            He just got offered basically a free pass for a felony of possessing a gun as a prior drug user. Something the average citizen would be sitting in prison for a minimum 10 year sentence for.

            That’s sounds like a REAL big order or free French fries.

            PS I’m not a republican, I’m just calling out the obvious corruption of that dirt bag getting a pass.

              Every gun owner that legally uses weed in a weed-legal state commits the same felony by lying on that same form, when purchasing a firearm. It’s pretty common to not prosecute this felony.

            It’s not whataboutism. Corruption is bad. It’s asking for consistency.

                Whataboutism implies that you are using that actions of person A to justify person B. It is not when you point out condemnation of person B for the same actions as person A but person A is not condemned.

      I don’t think that’s the point they’re trying to make. A corrupt bastard is a corrupt bastard, there is no immunity.
