    John Oliver says the offer is still on the table, Clarence. You should take it. It’s a pretty sweet deal.

      If he doesn’t take the deal, it means his current kickbacks are better.

    "Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told his law clerks in the ‘90s that he wanted to serve for 43 years to make liberals’ lives ‘miserable’ - FAFO crybaby.

    Attention Clarence: criticism, by nature, is often perceived as “nastiness” by the accused, especially when that criticism includes truths that the accused would like to keep hidden.

        Let me put a finer point on it:

        Thomas, an African American man on the Supreme Court, has done immense damage to the African American (and basically all other minorities) struggle for civil rights, equality, and egalitarianism.

        THAT is what I mean when I say he is a race traitor: he’s actively working against marginalized members of his own race, amongst many others. It’s a matter of public record.

        humanity is one fucking race, and this dickhead is a traitor to humanity. Ergo, race traitor.

        The actual definition of race being concerned with the ability to make fertile babies together, all other definitions being (or leading directly to) actual racism

    Besides the corruption he’s a disgusting human being in general. It’s documented he’s obsessed with porn and shows people pornography at work, he’s a racist who was against interracial marriage until his own. Fuck that guy.

      No, he’s still on record voting against interracial marriage while being actively in one.

          This all came out during his confirmation.

          Hill accused Thomas of making inappropriate remarks. She said one such comment came as Thomas was drinking a soft drink in the office.

          “He got up from the table at which we were working, went over to his desk to get the Coke, looked at the can and asked, ‘Who has put pubic hair on my Coke?’” Hill told senators.

          Hill also testified that Thomas would boast about being well-endowed and has experience in pleasing women intimately. She also said she felt uncomfortable about her job situation.

            It’s not a one off either. There are at least two other instances where coworkers claim he pulled this gag. It’s just entirely bizarre lol

              Perhaps because it’s not even remotely funny. Maybe you had to be there, or maybe you just have to be a sexist pig to get the “humor.”

    Ya know if I was as evil as him id openly embrace it. But this “stop saying mean thing about me” schtick is rather weak and pathetic. I hope his car has a critical engine malfunction and fires a piston through him.

      Exactly. And he wasn’t elected, he was appointed. So, if I were him I’d be like “Yeah, I AM corrupt! Everything you’re saying is true! And what the fuck do you think you can do about it?”

        He was on Seth Myers the other day & offered to renew it. The important part is that he fucks off, I’d rather he didn’t have a nice rv to do it in anyway.
