Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Don't like it, Clarence? Take John Oliver's offer & fuck off into the sunset then.
It expired
He was on Seth Myers the other day & offered to renew it. The important part is that he fucks off, I'd rather he didn't have a nice rv to do it in anyway.
The man is nastiness and lies personified
Funny, that's what we call your contribution to the legal system. Along with "retarded arguments", can't forget that
Fuck uncle Thomas
Lies? Then you paid back all the money 'loaned' to you, Mr Thomas? You should show receipts and demand everyone apologize.
C. Thomas: Even though I have covered myself in shit, please do not say I stink. It's unfair!
I'm a big fat liar who says Clarence Thomas is a shit human being and a corrupt judge who takes money from billionaires. Spot the lie!
I’m a big fat liar
There's your lie?
fat
Was this the lie?
"Clearance" Thomas cause that mf'r always on sale
Wouldnt expect anything else from him, honestly. If he had expressed regret or shame, he wouldnt be the sanctimonious sack of shit we all know him to be
Perfectly said.
Besides the corruption he’s a disgusting human being in general. It’s documented he’s obsessed with porn and shows people pornography at work, he’s a racist who was against interracial marriage until his own. Fuck that guy.
And we knew a lot of that BEFORE he got confirmed
who was against interracial marriage until his own
No, he's still on record voting against interracial marriage while being actively in one.
God what a piece of shit. The Supreme Court is a sham.
I assume you know about his coca cola pube joke/gag?
I do not… dare I ask?
This all came out during his confirmation.
Hill accused Thomas of making inappropriate remarks. She said one such comment came as Thomas was drinking a soft drink in the office.
"He got up from the table at which we were working, went over to his desk to get the Coke, looked at the can and asked, 'Who has put pubic hair on my Coke?'" Hill told senators.
Hill also testified that Thomas would boast about being well-endowed and has experience in pleasing women intimately. She also said she felt uncomfortable about her job situation.
I don’t get the joke?
Perhaps because it's not even remotely funny. Maybe you had to be there, or maybe you just have to be a sexist pig to get the "humor."
It's not a one off either. There are at least two other instances where coworkers claim he pulled this gag. It's just entirely bizarre lol
Oh did he not write his own judicial opinions?
This is s song called we hate you please die
Love this one
We’ve been very polite thus far under the circumstances, you fucking corrupt fascist-enabling race-traitor.
... You had me until the end. Nobody owes any allegiance to race.
humanity is one fucking race, and this dickhead is a traitor to humanity. Ergo, race traitor.
The actual definition of race being concerned with the ability to make fertile babies together, all other definitions being (or leading directly to) actual racism
Agreed
Let me put a finer point on it:
Thomas, an African American man on the Supreme Court, has done immense damage to the African American (and basically all other minorities) struggle for civil rights, equality, and egalitarianism.
THAT is what I mean when I say he is a race traitor: he’s actively working against marginalized members of his own race, amongst many others. It’s a matter of public record.
100%
Ya know if I was as evil as him id openly embrace it. But this "stop saying mean thing about me" schtick is rather weak and pathetic. I hope his car has a critical engine malfunction and fires a piston through him.
Exactly. And he wasn't elected, he was appointed. So, if I were him I'd be like "Yeah, I AM corrupt! Everything you're saying is true! And what the fuck do you think you can do about it?"
I hope Harlan Crow's yacht strikes an Iceberg with him on it.
Tbh I wouldn’t object if someone encouraged it to become a submarine with him on it.
Maybe we can get ocean gate to do the conversion,
Attention Clarence: criticism, by nature, is often perceived as “nastiness” by the accused, especially when that criticism includes truths that the accused would like to keep hidden.
Clarence ain't seen nastiness yet.
You have no idea how much porn this man has watched. It’s not a meme.
He sees nastiness in every reflective surface
John Oliver says the offer is still on the table, Clarence. You should take it. It's a pretty sweet deal.
If he doesn't take the deal, it means his current kickbacks are better.
What would the Jesus do?
"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told his law clerks in the '90s that he wanted to serve for 43 years to make liberals' lives 'miserable' - FAFO crybaby.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
POINT CLEAR, ALA. — After facing harsh questions about his judicial decisions and accepting lavish gifts from a billionaire, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas forcefully pushed back on his critics Friday — saying he and his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, have endured “nastiness” and “lies.”
Thomas targeted the maelstrom he has faced in Washington, offering some of his most extensive comments since news broke last year of travel and real estate deals paid for by Republican donor Harlan Crow, and since he has faced calls to recuse himself from cases related to the 2020 election because of his wife’s involvement with efforts to block Joe Biden’s victory.
