"IN LATE JUNE 2019, right after the U.S. Supreme Court released its final opinion of the term, Justice Clarence Thomas boarded a large private jet headed to Indonesia. He and his wife were going on vacation: nine days of island-hopping in a volcanic archipelago on a superyacht staffed by a coterie of attendants and a private chef.
If Thomas had chartered the plane and the 162-foot yacht himself, the total cost of the trip could have exceeded $500,000. Fortunately for him, that wasn't necessary: He was on vacation with real estate magnate and Republican megadonor Harlan Crow, who owned the jet � and the yacht, too."

@TheRoguelement Says:
No no no Anna Harlan crow just really like SCOTUS Uncle Toms like Clarence . And he doesn't really expect anything in return .. The really disgraceful part of this is when you see places like the Wall street journal laying down cover fire for the blatantly obvious disgraceful corruption and double standard of those people who would condemn a Democrat for far less but let just sit back and take in the fact you have a Black SCOTUS justice hob knobbing with multi billionaires so far outside clarence's tax bracket is sickening while Clarence actually hands down decisions with these very people involved . in fact find a decision Clarence handed down that is not 100% in line with Mr Harlon Crow ...Or any of his billionaire friends but nothing to see hear folks go back to sleep.

left-wingers try to explain away Demented Joe Biden's corruption
@kennethgooswit3697 Says:
They are going to put The criminal Trump back in office by changing the outcome of any election.
@kennethgooswit3697 Says:
Biden should make sure he can get rid of them before they change the democratic scenery. Make laws to restrict their juridical movements. Start with restrict the time they can be on the court. 10 years is long enough
@kennethgooswit3697 Says:
This what you get when criminals become judges. They are corrupt and there is even a rapist in their middle
@kennethgooswit3697 Says:
This is playing dirty, these guys are making sure that they are untouchable. Just ignore their rulings, they have no excecutionpower, just ignore it. Biden has the power, but he is too honest to play dirty. He should because this is the end with these MF. If they take over the country America is DOOMED

@Redsiix Says:
This just shows the FBI's failure with their investigations on public corruption program. Trash. We need another law enforcement department to cover this kind of thing.

As far as I'm concerned, it's a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think that accepting massive bribes by antisemitic billionaires is not unethical.
@jimdolen225 Says:
Isn't it great to know that all three branches of government are officially for sale and have been for some time. When will we take money out of politics?
@relating Says:
This is just a democrats versus republicans issue. We need to work and pray for a nation where politicians could be concerned and work together to eradicate murder, rapes, robberies and mistreatment of their fellow citizens. However, this will never happen until the entire nation takes into account Jesus' teachings regarding our duties toward God and toward our fellow citizens.
@relating Says:
We need to pray that we could be able to teach Americans to do what Jesus said: “Why do you notice the little piece of dust in your friend’s eye, but you don’t notice the big piece of wood in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your friend, ‘Let me take that little piece of dust out of your eye’? Look at yourself! You still have that big piece of wood in your own eye. 5 You hypocrite! First, take the wood out of your own eye. Then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your friend’s eye" (Matthew 7:3-5 NCV). This means that if democrats are the ones accusing of making financial deals without disclosure, then they should also see all democrat members of the executive and judicial branches of government if they have had financial deals that they have not disclosed. We all who believe in the teachings of Jesus should try to follow His instructions in Matthew 28:18-20 and with God's help try to convince all American citizens to follow Jesus' instructions in Matthew 7:3-5.
Therefore, this is our prayer:
Oh, Father in heaven, You know how much is against our sinful nature to follow Your instructions through Your Son Jesus. Please give us Your Spirit that could Help to wash out of us any sinful desire to do the opposite of what Jesus is asking us in Matthew 7:3-5. Help us to generate a social news media that instead of putting discord and hate against members of the judiciary, You could put Your Spirit in all of us so this shameful attitude of accusing people of different political ideology could be eradicated from all American people. In the Name which is above any other name, the name of Your Son Jesus we ask You these things and many others. Amen. Amen.🙏 🙏 🙏

CT is a bought and paid for judge. He is lower than pond scum. There is no way he is not influenced by this crap. This is disgusting at the highest level. He needs to be removed. No need for some investigation, it is clear and in your face. Impeach his scummy A…..
@scottpool9011 Says:
HOW SICKENING IS IT THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SO MANY YEARS WITH NO REPROCUTIONS. THEN THEY TRY TO LIE OUT OF IT. & EVEN GET HIS MOTHER INTO IT! WHAT A CROOKED PIG CROOK!
@margwalker6606 Says:
His darn face makes me nauseous. We will see if he has any integrity to step down.
@marlinperkins6910 Says:
Honestly, if you are a federal judge, you shouldn’t be taking gifts like this, even if you report it. It’s wildly unethical. Thomas should go, because he is the swamp.
@artoffderidikulous3009 Says:
Not bribes but reparations.

@tmack347 Says:
Wall Street Journal is just another Rupert Murdoch propoganda arm of the Media.
@paulroese1376 Says:
i don't care about Thomas being bribed but in the interest of transparency and honesty he should have on his robes a sign saying "owned by Harlan Crow."
@gwats19577 Says:
Uncle Tom has a grift....💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

You can buy a Republican judge, like a hooker in Las Vegas.
@JohnPerez-yu4rd Says:
*****#AnyWorse! Harlin Crow also bought the "Honorable" Judge Thomas's mom's house. He then made thousands of dollars of improvements and still let's Thomas's mom live in the house that Crow now owns!
@xmillion1704 Says:
It is a rather sad and tawdry affair when one considers how Thomas likely really wants to believe that all of these white, donor-class overlords respect him as their equal, both class-wise and racially. He's probably convinced himself that the reason he seems so popular with them is due to his being such a great guy. He tells himself that these uber-elites with whom he has virtually nothing in common, actually like him and respect him as a man and would desire his "friendship" even if he weren't a SCJ.
I'm curious how he copes with the little whispers of doubt in the back of his mind that perhaps the relationships with these white, ruling-class oligarchs are purely transactional and that they find him easy to exploit. All they have to do is buy . . . I mean, pay for his keep and put up with his presence while parading him around occasionally. I'm sure that everyone does an admirable job of pretending as if he's their equal.
Does Thomas ever feel any unease or out of place, always being the only Black person in the group of all white people? Does he ever feel awkward or self conscious like he doesn't really belong on these junkets, being the only person there who can't afford to pay his own way, so that he must rely, for his very existence there, upon the pleasure of his wealthy white benefactor/owner? One could possibly find that experience to be emasculating.
Well, Crow and his cronies made the right choice with Thomas, of the available justices. Did they figured that Thomas, with his slave heritage, presumably knows to stay in his place? Can you imagine Alito barging around like he owns the place, or Kavaugh, getting tipsy and alternating between tears and tantrums?
Well, at least Thomas can find solace in that, when wives are invited, he can always be certain of sporting the most attractive, desirable and sexually dynamic spouse, universally esteemed for her level-headed intelligence, on his arm.
@annieqcrowley2680 Says:
Is this the same right wing that accuses every dem of being backed by George Sorros?
@ConsciencepartyUSA Says:
🤔 maybe since we were able to see Clarence Thomas’ hidden skeleton maybe we should get to see if all the other 8 judges have any either. If they don’t then their safe. if they do then they can get in trouble just like Clarence Thomas and also *BLAME HIM* for putting them in this situation in the first place. 😆
@keithsmall7464 Says:
He might b black string him up...
@birdlynn417 Says:
Why aren't you talking about the black mob attacks in Chicago right now??BLM on the roll again. Democrat supported, they helped create these kinds of criminals. Black politicians NEVER talk about this, they enable them. VOTE RED people, vote RED NOW. We need Trump!
@jimburig7064 Says:
Why is a SC justice running TV ads?
@jimburig7064 Says:
Remove Thomas. He should never have been confirmed in the first place & has proven it himself. Continually, Get politics out of our Supreme Court once and for all.
@jameswatt8001 Says:
IOW WSJ/Forbes/etc. are telling us not to worry our pretty little heads about it. I'll decide what I'll be interested in without any input from the Wall Street Fecken Journal and its ilk.
If we aren't going to have accountability, if anyone is above the law, then the Constitution cannot work and none of us have any rights at all. Thomas has been dirty from day 1.
If he had any integrity, he would have resigned by now.
@jackboot3946 Says:
To be accurate, Crow is not spending that amount of money. That is what it would cost for the average person to do those vacations. However, the influence peddling is blatantly obvious. It's not as if a SCOTUS Justice can't afford to live well on his salary... guaranteed for life.
@DG-px9dl Says:
Just follow the money - thomas has shown over and over again how corrupt he is, he has been bought / bribed by dark money. In this case the spotlight has shown crow has paid thomas off in different ways and thomas has been caught trying to hide these BRIBES by crow.
Justice Roberts is complicit in this corruption, until roberts steps up and tells thomas he needs to resign he is just as guilty as thomas. Our Supreme Court has a corrupt judge amongst its members and nothing is being done.
This shows just how corrupt the system is.
