NEW: In 2000, Clarence Thomas was deep in debt. He met w/ a GOP Congressman & complained about his salary. The GOP started to fear he’d leave the court. In the years that followed, billionaires lavished him w/ secret gifts.
Clarence Thomas threatened to quit SCOTUS unless he could get rich, so Republican politicians arranged for billionaires to start inundating him with money and gifts in exchange for his continued service. He gladly accepted the trade-off.
RBG twice took $1 million gifts from a foreign nation while she sat on SCOTUS.

I am sure CNN, MSNBC, ABC, Joy Behar and the rest heavily covered that. Oh, they didn't?!?

No problem w committing sexual assault personally. Just don’t put it in a book because then it would need to be banned.
These GOP evangelicals hypocrites are the worst. The GOP leader in Florida that committed sexual assault and filmed it for police would have driven this woman as fast as he could to get an abortion if she became preggo.

She certainly comes across as a very intelligent individual - someone whose opinion I would have great respect for (as you obviously do).
Isn’t it insightful to see some of the places that our right wingers obtain their facts and viewpoints?
Yowsa! And to make matters even more frightening, A-Dolt and others claim mainstream media is entirely untrustworthy as an arm of the deep state. So truth must be gleaned from these wacky sites that disco lives at.

Does anyone remember who the alternatives to Mussolini and Hitler were?
If yes, did THEIR kids POSSIBLY have any tax problems ??? Or maybe some poorly-behaved dogs?
Oh, you don't like the analogy, Trumper morans? Because Trump DOES. In fact, he's now begging for the apt comparison almost daily.
El Runkin can correct me, but I believe that it's a political maxim that goes WAY back to olden' biblical days: "Don't want to be compared to Hitler? Don't talk just like Hitler."
It's kind of cryptic and confusing, I know, but I trust that even the Trumper morans can eventually untangle the complicated meaning of it.

It's a marker, I suspect, of fairly dumb people who were always humbled in any comparative academic setting, but still WANT to believe that they're smart. The answer, at least in part, is a heavy degree of contrarianism in one or more realms (politics, medicine/science, history, etc.).
Can't get a better example than adolt, I suspect. As has been noted over and over again, he sees himself as smart because he KNOWS that the actual MSM journalists are far, far inferior to the podcast hosts, random Tweeters, Uncle Mort, the major network that admitted to systematically lying to its viewers in prime time about something REALLY important, etc., etc, etc.
Thank god that we have folks like them to help set us straight.
