Reports are a great many people enjoyed Oval Office drop-in status. And the loonier they were the greater access they were granted. More than a few were confirmed by the Senate.

I guess fashion sense isn’t really the issue here, but seeing this latest picture of her I’m left wondering… Why does she always seem to dress like Bozo the Clown ? There must be some kind of right wing symbolism behind it that I just can’t grasp.

Lately, like the last decade or so, nothing did get accomplished. Probably Putin figured that into his calculations.

It’s totally obvious that Ginni had access to Trump because she’s the wife of a SCOTUS member.
Did Trump think that such meetings would help him with SCOTUS decisions? Obviously, and all the more reason why Trump had vetting done of people she wanted in the White House.
Did Ginni Thomas make promises about what she’d tell Clarence for Trump?
Can we see those memos? Gotta be in the public domain, right? And she’ll gladly share them with us because she has nothing to hide, right?

Of course! No wonder her husband failed to disclose her grifting on his financial disclosure forms!

He was always, already, planning ahead with the presumption that, if he did get busted for any of his crimin’, it was “his” SCOTUS and get-out-of-jail-free card. Ginni is obviously psycho enough to have believed “if the President does it, it’s not a crime,” and Clarence–a spiteful, vengeful, petty man, as we knew from the Anita Hill hearings–is also evidently sufficiently cowed that he does what she says.

From a very long 1987 Washington Post story on the emotionally abusive Lifespring cult:
Virginia Thomas, a lobbyist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, took Lifespring a couple of years ago, when she was a congressional aide. She was confused and troubled by exercises such as one in which trainees listened to “The Stripper” while disrobing to skimpy bikinis and bathing suits. The group then stood in a U-shaped line, made fun of fat people’s bodies and riddled one another with sexual questions.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife floated an outlandish conspiracy that members of the “Biden crime family” and “ballot fraud co-conspirators” were being sent to barges off of Guantánamo Bay to face military trials for sedition
What is the line, if there is one, between political beliefs and actual psychosis?

She seems like a person who quit smoking and became an anti-smoking evangelist and then became a heroin addict.

“These fucking lists were so insane and unworkable,” the former official said. “A lot of them were dripping with paranoia and read like they were written by a disturbed person.”
There’s probably a simple explanation for that, something about Occam and a razor.
