I’m sure this is totally fine

Get this fucking bozo a jail cell stat
(Yes I forgot to crop my screenshot but I’m not gonna fix it, L+ratio)
More charges in this list than in your battery
Charge this guy with battery.
Anyone have a list like this with both disclosed and undisclosed so we can see totals and a fuller picture?
I wonder what this looks like lined up with Supreme Court cases and who stands to benefit from those cases.
Bought and paid-for Supreme Court. Pathetic, sad, and scary.
And kinda cheap if you think about it.
It’s always been amazing to look at the lobbyists donation amounts to senators to see how cheaply they can be bought.
I dont know why everyone assumes it has to be like millions. They already make decent money, and then they feel entitled to this extra compensation, its less about the amounts and more about precedent
I’m sure in many cases they’d do it for free because they agree in general, it’s just looks strange to see values in the hundreds by these absolutely behemoth companies.
Yeah you start to wonder if the companies almost have to take advantage or be accused of not pursuing profits for their shareholders.
I think a lot of this bribery stuff only becomes officially illegal later on as well, so maybe they feel they are in a sort of grey area thats defensible.
Perfectly normal!
…right?
😂😭😂
Still think a society run on worshipped greed and competition against one another can stand?
When you make the private profit motive the only motive, as we have in the US in practice, what in the ever loving fuck do you think your elected leaders and their appointments will be motivated by? Duty and integrity?
Sociopath asset holders being allowed to indulge their greed disease with impunity and dictating how our society runs while contributing nothing of merit needs to end. Until then, we’ll keep finding new lows to stoop to until climate change makes our gold plated, inhuman cesspool collapse completely.
Ah, well. That explains AOC filing articles of impeachment now.
You don’t accept bribes from internal to the U.S. but you DEFINITELY don’t accept bribes from ENEMIES of the U.S.
Ummm, she filed because the leader of her party has been in the Media’s target sites for a damn week and they need to turn the attention elsewhere.
This is all theatre.
You’re completely oblivious if you believe that that’s the only reason she’s filed it. Our Supreme Court is corrupt and has been for decades.
So tell me what’s going to happen to a guy with a lifetime appointment?
This is theatrics even if the base is gobbling it up.
Eta. You losers down voting are just bitter because you know that I’m right and there’s nothing that’s going to happen to this guy even though he’s fucking each and every one of you over while laughing at you about it.
Maybe the lack of ethics is also the point.
Maybe the Supreme Court’s lack of ethics standards and lack of a way to enforce such standards will lead to them being created. Why are we arguing over whether it’s more important m that one candidate is old or the other is a fascist corrupt treasonous criminal who’s almost as old, when there are more important issues here.
Again what’s going to be done about it? Nothing nothing at all because that’s exactly what Americans have set their system up to allow to happen. Electing greedy and moral weak politicians is why you have this.
Yes, everything you don’t like is theatre. Bless your precious little heart.
I like this. It’s deserved. It’s also useless pointless and nothing but theatrics.
If you can’t acknowledge the stupidity when it’s coming from your own side, then you need to step outside your Echo chamber once in a while.

Of course it’s theatre. The GOP won’t approve it. The show now is to prove how ALL of the GOP is both complicit in corruption AND traitors. This is what we call a link. Something people have to actively work around in their heads.
If they vote GOP, they now vote for people who are ok with children hospitals being bombed by the Russian military. If they vote GOP now, they are OK with the fact that the wealthy can make donations for or against ANYTHING they want - including dismantling their entire life because of something they didn’t think about before. The rest of us always knew it, but they had done a better job of hiding it.
Now it’s out there. Now there is a link. Now you have to say “I am ok with being a traitor for a party that doesn’t have my best interests in mind.”
So yeah it’s theatre. It’d be pretty stupid to not make this big.

Are you still foolish enough to believe that GOP voters care about things like ethics and morals?
Oh you sweet summer child!.
I’m with this guy I think we should throw our hands up and never try to do anything difficult. Life is easier when you just give up, and it’s more fun when you can demoralize those around you as well!
Look at these slacktivist losers complaining on the internet like they’re actually accomplishing anything.
Yet you’re going to go and vote for the exact same people you’ve all been voting for your entire pathetic lives.
Still waiting here - any advice? Who is your favorite American candidate?
What advice? Vote local vote small. Get involved. Most importantly, get away from your keyboard. The fact that you say you’ve been waiting here for a response just demonstrates how pathetic your approach to this entire situation is.
Some people have lives that don’t revolve around social media. Those people are making a difference in this world.
I’d love to know who you recommend I vote for!
Without question you vote for the senile old fool. The other guy is a malignant narcissist who is clearly intent on undermining the Democratic ideas that Americans aspire to.
Yep, but so is the GOP claiming to be the “party of law and order”. Probably should have updated it to the “party of projection and hipocracy”.
Remember when we had congressional hearings on a blowjob? Emails? Bengazi? Bengazi? Steroids in Baseball? Those are all quant compared to ignoring bribery and treason… Yeah Biden might be a corpse, but at least he hasn’t tried a self-coup. Yet.
Owe you sweet summer child. You actually think that their voters care about the things they said.
All news will now be replaced with “Biden old”.
There will be no discussion of other political events. The aging man is old. This is all we care about.

Oh yeah that totally seems normal. Definitely no reason to stop the Supreme Court’s corruption - they said so themselves!
In his defense, … he was actually working there in a sense.
Tl;dr?
The joke is that Thomas is a paid operative working for Putin
I don’t see the joke; this just sounds like a statement of fact.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who took this at face value
I am willing to bet the majority of the MAGA movement is funded by Russia. Everything goes back to Putin every fucking time.
It was funded by oligarchs, and Russia is a playground for oligarchs (until they cross Putin).
Well some of them, others went to London and started to cross Putin.
And got a fucking polonium pin prick for it… While in London.
Unless we’re talking about different people.
The president has the explicit authority to direct the DOJ to enforce laws
He can order them to detain Thomas in Gitmo.
And it would be 100% legit thanks to recent rulings.
Or…
Biden can just not do shit because he personally doesn’t think he should be allowed to
We need a president willing to use every tool at their disposal to stop fascism, not one that’s fine with loosing as long as they tried their “goodest”
Too busy trying to not rock the boat meanwhile other people are actively punching holes in it
Well you have to admit it worked well for Neville Chamberlain didn’t it? /s
Got to make sure the boat is going nice and steady as it crushes headfirst into the iceberg. Wouldn’t want to cause a ruckus, no.
Good point. “Rock the vote, not the boat” may as well be the campaign slogan.
Do you honestly think Biden is fully aware of and capable of using his newly decided powers? I don’t.
Hell, would you trust Biden to drive your car home for you after it gets dark outside?
To put it bluntly, if I were as old as he is, I would just start ordering things to happen, because ultimately the worst that happens is the people say no, put me in a cushy federal
resortprison for a couple years, and I’m dead.I trust plenty of people with physical limitations to do mental things, but not physical things.
“your president won’t even order the murder of citizens without a trial, what a huge fucking coward he is for not taking the easy road”
This is what you sound like to people residing in reality.
This won’t lead to a ratcheting effect of political warfare internally at all.
None of which is surprising to anyone who is paying even the slightest bit of attention. The right wing has been bought and paid for by Russia for at least the past decade.
This should be the first supreme court sanctioned execution by Biden LMAO 🤣
Clarence is getting too much stuff here.
Whoa baby.
Of all the things I’m not surprised by, this is one of them. The fact that a Republican accepts bribes from Vladimir Putin ought to be immensely shocking, but the last ten years have utterly destroyed my capacity to be shocked by these people.
Assuming this country survives, history books looking back at this era are going to be fucking wild.
No, it’s internal bribery. While its not entirely clear where those bribes came from, in the text, they are listed in the table:
“Likely Undisclosed Gifts and Income from Harlan Crow and Affiliated Companies”
Remember, that’s the playbook… The waves never stop crashing on the shore and you become numb to how totally unacceptable even one of these corrupt acts is. Before you know it, there are 300 of them at your feet and they are consistently escalating and you are just exhausted and overwhelmed.
