  2. I can’t believe nobody is calling for his impeachment. He is corrupt. Impeach him.

  4. I bet he hasn’t paid taxes on that. Citizens United is nothing more than a slush fund, tax free for the tax cheats

  5. The problem isn’t that he did it the problem is all of them do it and continue to do it all of them only take money from taxes and never use it for anything but themselves look at your roads streets houses communities police force military and most importantly the schools in America are becoming a joke but yet we are in debt and can’t pay anything whilst they live with maids butlers and chefs not to mention everything the government and president can buy just by looking at it but we are the problem.

  8. Whenever the right wing screams “Soros” it is meant to distract you from the Kochs, Mercers, Theil, and the cadre of sociopaths who want to recreate medieval fiefdoms.

  10. What is with these headlines? They just said billionaire three times in succession.

  11. You cant prove thomas changed any of his decisions because of the bribes. What the bribes accomplished is to keep him on the court. He would have retired long ago and gone to some high paying think tank or speaker circuit. They pay him to stay on the court until a gop president and Senate are in place to choose another crazy conservative as a replacement.

  12. With a corrupt Supreme Court, is the US constitution basically meaningless now?

  13. Imagine Soros buying gifts for the Democratic justices. We’d never hear the end of it

  14. Then grins and whispers, “So what *you* going to do about it?”

  17. If I win the powerball, I’m going to invest in some very carefully selected “gifts” to some people that are in positions of power that I obviously wouldn’t expect anything in return for because those powerful people are just swell people and deserve really large and expensive gifts.

    *Could the rich and powerful shove our noses deeper into the shit while making painfully obvious bribes and pretending that this is normal while civil and human rights are systematically stripped away from us?*

  19. The Roe decision wasn’t leaked until 2022.

    >In his 2023 report, Thomas included an unusual addendum, defending his decision to accept luxurious gifts from Crow while admitting that he had “inadvertently omitted” details about the favors on his previous disclosures, blaming the leaked *Roe v. Wade* decision for his reasoning to avoid commercial air travel.

    Dude was all over flying on Crow’s private jets for years before the Roe decision. Here he was swearing in super shitty Judge Ho in Crow’s German castle fireplace/ Nazi memorabilia room (as posted by Ted Cruz) and was flown back and forth from DC by Crow:

  20. Dems need to start getting the SCOTUS gifts. Since, they don’t actually care about America, get them nice things.

  21. “Yea so what? Do something about it, peasants.” – Thomas

  24. These aren’t “gifts” by any reasonable definition. They are extremely expensive trips and items that are clearly meant to sway opinions

  26. Add it to the pile. Hopefully he’ll be slammed and condemned. But ultimately allowed to continue dismantling society.

  27. He only reported it because a news organization uncovered the gifts. The justices aren’t going to make a single change to anything.

  32. In my job if I accepted a gift of over $25 on the holidays I’d be fired. I had to sign an ethics agreement. How come he gets to keep his cushy job?

  33. Its wild that the only reason why this isn’t illegal is because we didn’t explicitly state not to take bribes in a 237 year old document

  34. It’s a scandal of the highest order. He has destroyed the authority of the court.

  35. Oh good. Now we can move on to the “no repercussions for accepting bribes to make SCOTUS decisions” part of the story.
