  1. Now we all are going to have to be more careful about saying anything about Clarence Thomas over this very advanced us internet system. or Clarence Thomas and His lawyers may come after us the way he did Anita Hill and accuse (us) of doing a "high-tech lynching." to him, over this very Advanced Internet.🤣

    On a serious note. I believe that Clarence Thomas was guilty of exactly what Anita Hill accused him of at the time of his confirmation hearings. And now the whole world today can see how corrupt he is. He should have never been on the Supreme Court in the first place. That was years ago but I always did believe that Anita Hill was speaking the truth about Clarence Thomas Behavior.

  2. Kavanaugh is next, then Roberts!

  3. OMG! Clarence Thomas has a wealthy friend who invites him and his wife on vacations with him and also invites him for dinner? And they have the same conservative ideology! There should be a law against him sharing these lavish vacations and $1000+ dinners! But there obviously isn't. Big difference between gifts and a millionaire choosing to share his wealth/ company with a judge/ friend. Did Thomas ever hear a case regarding this Crow guy? This is a nothing burger.

  4. Here is a totally different and fair explanation of the phrase Uncle Tom: https://youtu.be/Fk7lN7qYOTU

  5. The level of chutzpah here is really something.

    Clarence Thomas was not required to disclose the gifts under the rules at the time, but AOC actually has several clear violations related to campaign spending disclosures & ongoing investigations.

  6. I want Chief Justice Clearance Thomas to near verbatim what cruelty a group of blacks said to me today as they described the death of a child that loved this Ole man and a kid that has my whole heart.
    I want him to hear it every syllable.
    And then I want answer's because this will not stand in the USA no way.

  7. God said we must tell the truth. The entire leadership and command staff of the Contra Costa County fire department and Walnut Creek CA. police department must be fired ASAP and if found guilty imprisoned. These are two large well funded hate groups. The CCCFD will frame innocent people of color by starting fires and setting up minorities. The WCPD will lie-on and harass Blacks, Hispanics, Filipinos, Indians and Pakistanis.

    The devil is a liar.
    Jesus is the Truth the Way and the Life.

  8. This loser with the fat dumb wife has to be impeached

    No one trusts him!!!! He’s so gross !

  9. Going after him because hes black

  10. If you want Justice, remember Illinois' Governor J.B. Pritzker (potential 2024 DNC Presidential Candidate) just contributed ONE MILLION DOLLARS to the campaign fund of TWO (each) Illinois Justices during the 2022 elections, which is a violation of his own Illinois' Ethics Legislation. If "Justice" has to be served for Justice Thomas, then "Justice" must be fair and Illinois' Governor J.B. Pritzker and the TWO Illinois Justices that accepted the ONE MILLION DOLLARS, EACH, MUST BE prosecuted as well.

  11. As a lawyer, he should have KNOWN (and HE DID KNOW) that taking "gifts" from wealthy Republicans and the appearance of being in the pockets of rich people, Republicans, Democrats, or whatever political affiliation is WRONG and certainly not HONORABLE. Thomas and all appointed tRump lawyers to the Supreme Court should be expelled. They were appointed by an unethical and to be proven criminal person! And ethical procedures should be introduced and required to be practiced by all persons serving in Congress, the Supreme Court, and all political offices – NO relationships with persons or entities who give political donations to ANY political party. All nominees for political office should receive the SAME amount to fund their campaigns. So that they ALL be on the same footing – monthly financial reports on their financial situation should be published on the internet so that all US citizens can examine such reports. That is justice and equality!! And why not??? The citizens of the USA EMPLOY ALL OF THEM (LEST THEY SHOULD FORGET IT!!!)

  12. I have a $1,000 check waiting for anyone that's run into Justice Clarence Thomas hanging out in a Walmart RV parking lot.

  13. Thomas doesn't believe that black people should take "handouts"….but he let's a billionaire white man take care of him and his wife.

  14. Stop kidding yourselves, the great crime” of Mr. Thomas is being a black conservative. All black conservatives have to be completely discredited… This and this alone is the reason Thomas has been in the crosshairs for so long.

  15. No story about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden using his position to stop a Ukrainian prosecutor from investigating Hunter's dubious dealings with a Ukrainian oil company called Barisma. When you are willing to put that story as a headline maybe i will take you seriously.

  16. A Detrimental Fault in Democracy

    Since the highly divisive Trump Election, we have unfortunately seen more and more cracks form in our Democratic Free Market System. First, this is the first time we had elected somebody who expressly insulted other highly influential leaders, as well as impacted populations within the United States. Additionally, we learned of Russian involvement in election persuasion and conclusively, the impacts on results. During this time, we also saw another split in the popular and electoral vote – a rare but increasingly consistent occurrence. Finally, at the end of his term and resulting from the next presidential election, we saw the first executive leader ousted after servicing one term in 4-5 presidencies. All of these ingredients have pushed Americans further apart – as such influence in any presidential hand has been debated over the past decade-ish.

    Throughout these two presidencies we have seen major sways in our political and economic markets – mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The workforce has reshuffled, as new generations stand up for themselves against corporations. Additionally, the presence of social media continues to fuel transparency in big business. As a result, some firms have invested more in employees, while also taking on increased costs from inflation, and as a result raising their prices themselves. Now, bring us to present day – where a major power struggle is debated before the Supreme Court. Although Trump was not questioned on his alteration of student loan requirements, Biden saw significant challenge. Not to mention the midterm flip of one of the law making bodies, preventing pertinent party passage of policies.

    Have you noticed the change in your neighbor, and the everyday drivers you typically commute with daily? Our society lacks empathy, patience, and common courtesy for one another. Everybody wants to go first, nobody cares about right of way anymore, and in our divided times it has resulted in one of the largest sentiment gaps between our population. As a result of this weakness competitor nations China and Russia have vamped their political and military presence over the world. Our largest and most important structures have seen detrimental effects: Political, Economic, Health, Education, Foreign Policy, and Safety. As the cherry on top to our disease ridden system, here comes Supreme Court CORRPUTION. This agency is meant to be a checkmate power, having the final say in battles between Congress and the President. What better way to rock our unstable times than to put a huge dent in the very agency meant to be neutral and undivided? Further, an agency whose purpose is to bring divided structures back to one under their opinions and rulings. It is with bitter sadness that I recognize the UNETHICAL actions of Justice Thomas. For me, this isn't about the bribes he accepted – but the continued division and fracture to come from his lack of responsibility. Thomas does not care about bringing people back together, as he has shown his true sights over 20 years. It is time to stop corporate control of our "neutral" systems. It is time to stop allowing TOXIC and SELFISH leadership like Donald Dump and Thomas continue to DIVIDE our nation. We, United States citizens whose elected officials are representations of OUR – the PEOPLE's intentions and needs must step up and call for the RESIGNATION OF JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS.

    Stop. Dividing. America.

  17. Upper class writes these codes for others 😮

  18. Bring up charges against him.

  19. From now on, let's all refer to Clarence Thomas as "the Harlan Crow-funded Clarence Thomas". Every time his name is mentioned. Every damned time.

  20. This is so unacceptable. IMPEACH Thomas asap

  21. We want the whole congress investigated

  22. TERM LIMITS TERM LIMITS TERM LIMITS TERM LIMITS TERM LIMITS TERM LIMITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh yeah, but corrupt politicians and judges want their LIFE LONG FIEFDOMS!!!!!!!!!

  23. At $285,000 a year he can well pay for his vacations and keep his integrity intact.

  24. Joe protected from all scrutiny by the Corporate Censored News stations reveals dirty deals between crooks.
