Shouldn't this be "…acknowledges he should not have accepted free trips from billionaire donor"?
I don't know all the intricacy of US politics, but people in position getting shit-tons of gifts in exchange of "nothing, really, just a friendly gesture" should raise some eyebrows.
He is just a high ranking Sugarbaby. Get these bozos out of here.

Wait, I thought this was the onion
I would be fascinated to see how this issue would be litigated up through the supreme court.
Okay, so when can we expect you to take off the robe and clear out? And when can we expect meaningful ethics reform on the court, you know, the place where ethics should be paramount?
"I have not yet begun to defile myself."

I have an official reply from the Justices to your inquiry:
"lol, get fucked, pleb"
That sounds about right...
He should have drank himself to death, but alas.
There is still time.
Next time in court try:
Your honor, I “inadvertently failed to realize" ...
South Park ISP Support Guy (while rubbing his nipples): I'm sorry. We're just so sorry.
Oh, ok.
So, you're going to resign now, yes?
omg he admit it
He knows it won't change jack shit: he can't be held accountable, and it's not like he'll magically grow a spine either
"I should have let everyone know I accepted a bribe. Not like you'll do anything about it anyway, suckers!"
I should let everyone know, I am taking bribes.
"I used to take a lot of bribes and I should have let everyone know. I mean, I still do, but I used to, too."
That’s exactly how I read that title. Oh, I can see there was no need to be sneaky. Apologies.
The only Justice to be impeached in US history was Associate Justice Samuel Chase in 1805. The House of Representatives passed Articles of Impeachment against him; however, he was acquitted by the Senate.
They're the American Mullahs. I've been calling them that for a while and I hope it catches on eventually.
I thought they were Muslim clergy. What am I missing?
The Mullahs of Iran cannot be replaced no matter what they do. They are also the final arbiters on all matters.
Gotcha. That’s a fair comparison.
Justice Clarence Thomas can choke on a cock.
To be fair, any of us can choke on a cock.
You're right. Clarence has no gag reflex.
It's true, I saw that man take 3 cocks at the same time.
You go to some really weird parties
You can see this at any billionaire party in the DC area.
Apparently you also go to some really weird parties. I never get invited to billionaire orgies :(
And you never will, with a gag reflex like that.
I'm still good for butt stuff though
So does Clarence
God I love this conversation thread.
Sure but he's conservative so it's pretty much a given that he's got some secret kink he's trying to cover for by telling others what they can do with their bodies. Having 3 dicks in his mouth is probably the most normal sexual act he's done in ages, instead of the usual underage amputees vomiting in his asshole or something like that
Not just people. The dogs we had back on the farm did a great job of protecting chickens, but every once in a while they would do the opposite and kill a chicken for themselves. I always thought it was fair. There was an instance where Lady was choking on a mouthful of feathers.
It was a peanut farm. Ironically my spouse is deathly allergic. On the bright side, it gets you out of family gatherings.
That was a wild ride!
