Check anyone in Washington and tell me which one doesn't get perks just like those. Don't waste your time to reply. I don't associate with people who can't have a civil discussion.

LOL, because Republicans aren't quick to drop an investigation on to a Democrat that is receiving something they shouldn't?  But, but, PELOSI!  You aren't capable of a civil discussion.  What Clarence Thomas did, and was exposed is not up for debate.  He amended his financial disclosures.  Then more was found!  I guess he will amend it again, and you'll be cool with it.

Did you watch his confirmation hearing? They put that man through the wringer and they've been after him ever since.

According to you it is because he is Black and they’re racist!

That's what this country has to look forward to.  The people that can remember that far back don't have much longer.  I'm in my very early 40's.  My children have the same political idealization as I do.  You'll be gone, and your vote loses 4-0.

Yea it is very sad, however a true racist always sees racism around them, even if it doesn’t exist. I don’t know if you have noticed it, but there are a lot of off color comments made on this forum.

Namaste!

I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that Jerry Carl, Republican House member from Alabama (randomly chosen), neither gets flown around on billionaires' jets, or gets his mother's house paid for by them.

We can keep going down the list. That was just the first one I saw.

I don't know if you were around like 12 years ago, but Michelle was super anti-Muslim.  Her defense was that she had a friend that was basically family that was Muslim, so she couldn't be bigoted.

Nah, I've had the misfortune.

The main issue is all the Supreme Court Justices currently on the bench are guilty of taking gifts and not disclosing them but the focus is just conveniently on two conservative Justices.

"Fix the Court only found two justices that reported 100% of gifts they received. Justice David Souter, who left the court in 2009, accepted one gift worth $349. Justice John Paul Stevens, who left the court in 2010, received over 20 gifts totaling $91,408."

It just seems that if this was a more genuine issue over ethics violations all of the Justices would be targeted as they all have done the same ethics violation of accepting gifts and not reporting them.

LOL, imagine trying to uncover 20 gifts totaling $91,000 or 1 gift totaling $300,000.  Hmmm...which one would be easier?

So what exact value of gifts results in the Supreme Court Justicd not reporting it result in it being an ethics violation.  Will be really interesting to know what exact monetary value you believe corruption and ethics violations start.

Here's one , though it seems a couple Dems said it .

Clarence Thomas accepted a free yacht trip to Russia and got flown out on a complimentary helicopter ride to Putin's hometown, 2 Democratic senators say (msn.com)

I remember discussing Clarence with link of hurl some time ago. The usual Republicans can do no wrong crapola. Yet here we are. Clarence's wife will be next I suspect. She's a real piece of work 

Ginni Thomas and rightwing activists exploited supreme court ruling – report

In the months before the US supreme court handed down Citizens United, the 2010 ruling which unleashed a flood of dark money into American politics, the wife of a conservative justice worked with a prominent rightwing activist and a mega-donor closely linked to her husband to form a group to exploit the decision.

So said a blockbuster report from Politico, detailing moves by Ginni Thomas – wife of Justice Clarence Thomas – and Leonard Leo, the Federalist Society chief who has worked to stock the court with rightwingers, leading to a series of epochal decisions, including the removal of the federal right to abortion.

Half a million dollars in seed money, Politico said, came from Harlan Crow, the Nazi memorabilia-collecting billionaire whose extensive and mostly undeclared gifts to Clarence Thomas have fueled a spiraling supreme court ethics scandal.

Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democratic senator from Rhode Island and champion of ethics reform, said the report laid out “the creepy intermingling of dark billionaire money, phoney front groups, far-right extremists and the United States supreme court”.

The Supreme Court shouldn't be getting gifts at all and if they do they should be reporting all of them.  Anything less gives the appearance that they can be influenced and ruins the integrity of the court as a whole.

Watch: ‘Daily Show’ Reporter Stunned After Focus Group of Black New Yorkers Say They’re Backing Trump

While introducing his segment seeking to find out if black voters “**** with Trump,” Johnson noted that a recent New York Times/Siena poll shows 23 percent support for Trump among black voters, which is up 19 percent since October 2020, when Trump support was at 4 percent.

Wonder why.

Yet all the Supreme Court Justices do it but only two specific conservative Justices are being targeted for impeachment by far left members of Congress, which gives the appearance of them trying to influence the Supreme Court.

You are assuming the others got gifts.  If they got nothing, then of course they would report that they got no gifts.

Do you not see the difference between a Supreme Court Justice receiving five thousand dollars in gifts versus five million dollars in gifts?

No shame, numbers can be hard.
