I have never paid for a vacation for Clarence Thomas.
At least not directly.

I am willing to pay my share of the costs of a vacation for Clarence, specifically a one-way trip to Venus. And he can take Alito with him.

He gave his life for trump!!! One less voter!!!
A Utah man was killed during an early morning raid in Provo when the FBI tried to serve arrest and search warrants on a MAGA adherent who had been posting to social media threats against Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and President Biden, who was set to visit Utah later in the day.

OT:
If you listen closely you can hear the sound of [the stampede of] history coming for the GOP.
Also, WTF is wrong with that 2%? I mean, WTAF?

Nothing to see with Clarence. No influence peddling. Just spare seats on planes, spare berths on yachts, spare luxury getaways at resorts, spare motor homes and most of all, spare money in a wallet.

Trust me, we’ve all paid for Justice Thomas’s vacations … with our rights, our national values, and the very fabric of our society. And we’ll be paying dearly for his and his fellow travelers’ deeds for a generation or more.

♫ Once I was a lawyer, no one would hire,
At any of those firms with white shoes.
Now I am a “Justice” out for hire,
Buddy can you spare a cruise?

A new report from ProPublica this morning on all the lavish gifts and freebies bestowed on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas over the years by conservative-minded benefactors:
Would I be surprised to learn Clarence feels he needs to be made whole for the ‘high tech lynching’ he endured?
Sometimes, pay back’s gotta come from other than those that done it. (ed.)

If Thomas agreed to retire tomorrow, I would buy him a day pass at the water park of his choice in the Wisconsin Dells. Thomas is a man of the people, right? He should be totally up for this.

We can always count on Slappy T grabbing every bribe that he can get his sleazy hands on…and his wife continues to get away with plotting to overthrow the government.
More proof that Republicans are above the law.

Yes indeed we all have paid for those vacations. Billionaires extracted billions from us to give to Clarence Thomas.
The problem I have with that is I have a difficult time paying for a vacation of my own.

If a decade ago the DNC had fired every last one of its consultants and just hired Trae Crowder instead, we would now be enjoying a level of political dominance not seen since Johnson-Goldwater.
