The vehicle is a key part of the justice’s just-folks persona. It’s also a luxury motor coach that was funded by someone else’s money.

This is what corruption looks like. Thomas and Alito are unethical human garbage and don’t deserve to be on the highest court.
Multiple justices lying under oath somehow doesn’t disqualify them. Ridiculous
Lifetime appointment.
Republicans see no problem with these massive gifts and Jared getting $2 Billion, but if Hunter Biden made a dollar they’re all over it.

None, which is why they’re clearly complaining in bad faith.
If your mom goes to the restaurant that you work at and you charge her a medium for large fries. That is the level of corruption I am ok with. You are allowed to super size the person who brought you into existence fries for free.
Now let me know if you have any more difficult questions I can sort out for you.

Whataboutism
It’s not whataboutism. Corruption is bad. It’s asking for consistency.
Literally brings up some other person not involved in a debate and it is not “what about”
Whataboutism implies that you are using that actions of person A to justify person B. It is not when you point out condemnation of person B for the same actions as person A but person A is not condemned.
I don’t think that’s the point they’re trying to make. A corrupt bastard is a corrupt bastard, there is no immunity.
Geez. Making the Supreme Court is like winning the lottery.
There are literally less than 10 seats in the world. So yeah its literally 1 in a billion.
Yeah, but you have to be highly qualified to get one of those seats, not just any Joe Schmo … lol just kidding. Imagine having to be qualified to decide matters of life and death!
In the US
Naw. The Lottery isn’t rigged toward Catholics.
Politicians are just used car salesmen with great healthcare
To be fair, he’s a Supreme Court justice, not just a politician
I think in this case that’s a distinction without a difference.
I once read that empires spreading their religion and culture through force was a not the most effective or common method. The way it usually worked was that once conquering foreigners became the elites in society, people in proximity to the elite would adopt the culture of their superiors, to fit in. Once a critical mass of elites and their subordinates adopting a foreign culture/religion was reached, it spread throughout society like a trend.
Anyway the point I’m trying to make is the power of proximity to the elite is enough to overrule a person’s whole identity. Anybody who’s close to a a social climber will recognize how this works.
Because he’s in The Big Club (NSFW).
There are confirmation hearings and supposed investigations before these judges were appointed. Whoever did the investigation failed and should be fired as well as their bosses.
Clarence Thomas is a waste of carbon.
The “friend”? Referring to a criminal engaging in bribery of a Justice as his “friend” is journalistic malpractice.
That’s not even a very nice RV; 270K barely gets you in the door on a decent one.
He bought it in 1999. Adjusting for inflation, it costs about $490k in current dollars.
EDIT: Also the point isn’t really about how much it cost as it does who financed it and how the payments were made (or not). If someone who made a fortune in healthcare loaned a scotus judge money for a luxury home/vehicle Thomas would have a conflict of interest on cases involving healthcare.
Yeah, my mom had a Minnie Winnie, which is small by RV standards and by no means luxurious, and it cost over $150,000 so I doubt $270,000 for a bigger one (and I’m sure it’s bigger) is going to be first class living either.
But who cares when it’s all performative bullshit anyway?

Well, apparently you’re not going to, so the comment isn’t very useful, is it?

Oh are one of those types that also shits on Bernie for owning three homes, even though one is a modest D.C. two bedroom, their family home on a very regular, average suburban road, probably 2,000 square feet, and the third a small lakeside cabin his wife inherited from her father, and where he hangs out with his like 15 grandkids?
Dude had to write like five best selling books and be in the Senate for 100 years before he made $1,000,000 dollars, even though insider trading is legal for members of Congress.
Omg, he formed an LLC to publish his books and pay a personal assistant. What a controversy! /s
Trying to portray the one honest Senator in D.C. as a hypocrite, you’d have be to a real know-nothing.
And that’s not even mentioning that he’s not a supreme court justice!
Sorry that I don’t have it out for black people :(
Just the Jews eh?
I bet you do when police are beating them.

Why single out Bernie Sanders then? Aren’t there a million people that have access to even more “luxurious” things that a majority can’t afford?
What’s so special about him?
No shit
Imagine being such a fucking idiot that you think people are upset at Clarence Thomas because he made money.
