All GOP justices on SC are corrupt...But Thomas is the worst, so far.

I’ll bet it was pretty heavily discounted. It wouldn’t surprise me if the loan was forgiven long before it was to be paid off.

And that's just fine, right?

[Bludogdem]

And that's just fine, right?

It’s certainly legal.

Ah. The go-to defense for corruption.

Why is it OK for liberal political figures to receive sweetheart deals on real estate.

Look, YOU are the one that says it’s fine for Clarence to get all kinds of bucks, not me.

I also don’t think politicians should be trading stocks. I’m against running our nation on PACs and campaign contributions.

I’m against corruption. You’re only against it with Democrats.

So you are now against the sweetheart real estate deal President Obama received. Now that Obama is out of office. Wow what integrity you have

Explain the "sweetheart" real estate deal.

Yeah, I’m with Toonces. Did someone buy a house from him and let him continue living in it?

Nobody did that for Thomas either. Of course you ignore that the value of the home that his mother was allowed to remain in was a whopping 135,000.

Exactly the same as the million dollar gift Obama received. Or was it only 500,000

You have no idea. It's all made up.

And whatever the rich people do for Thomas is just fine. Like the gift of a $250,000 RV.

Another lie you just don't have the truth in you. A wealthy friend financed the RV as I showed you yesterday in a link.

But don't let the truth get in the way of bringing down a black man who has the gall to not think the way you believe all black men have to think.

Why didn’t Clarence go to a bank to finance the loan?

And the buddy of his clammed up when asked if Thomas paid the loan off with interest.

Just like GW Bush getting a “loan” to buy part of the Texas Rangers - then not having to pay it off.

That’s how Republicans do things.

Again lying because you are nothing..........but a liar.

I have explained to you on multiple occasions that the way W purchased the Rangers was a method created by Bill Veeck and was the way sports teams were purchased for better than 50 years.

But go ahead and lie after all you have to destroy the black man.

Yeah, it’s YOU that likes to destroy black people.

He got a deal that normal people couldn’t. Get a loan to buy his part of the team, then never pay that “loan” back.

I guess that’s how you conservatives do things. I always PAID my bills.

Bush paid off the $500,000 bank loan he used to buy his share of the team.

[gounion]

Prove it. I recall he didn’t get a loan from a bank, he got it from the partners.

From your second link:

To reward Bush for his role in structuring the Rangers deal and managing the franchise, the partners agreed to grant him an additional 10 percent share of the team once they recouped their investments along with 2 percent interest. They also voted him a salary of $200,000 for his full-time work as a managing general partner.

And then, of course, there’s the shady insider trading deal when he sold the stock, which tanked immediately thereafter. Bush always had to have people bail him out.

The tanked stock is why I knew about the loan. That created problems for a few local investors. And there was no insider trading. Bush had no clue about the stock. He just wanted to get rid of the loan.

He knew he would be in trouble when the stock tanked, which he knew it would. So he cashed out before.

Happens all the time in families like the Bush's.

He was propped up by by friends of his dad, as a favor to his dad. Plus he as a known public Texas face, a useful tool. Harken was part of it. He was clueless on the financials and fucked up when he sold the stock.

For being the first “MBA President” all knew knew how to do is run companies into the ground on Saudi money.

I mean, talk about selling influence. Daddy is the VP, so the Saudis give Jr. money to start companies, which he bankrupts, and they don’t ask to be paid back, they just give him more.

Which shows the pure hypocrisy of you screaming “HUNTERHUNTERHUNTER!” And, if you’re worried about selling influence, how about the billions the Saudis giving Jared billions? It’s like being confronted with a mass murderer, and you look the other way and start screaming “JAYWALKER!”

So because the Trump family received billions that makes it OK for the Biden family to receive millions.



That makes no sense

Wow, you just prove my point. First, there’s NO evidence Joe Biden had anything to do with it.

And secondly, why aren’t you outraged over what the Trumps have done?

Donald Trump just “sold” Mar-a-Lago to his son. And you think that’s perfectly legit, don’t you?

The extreme corruption of Ginni and Clarence Thomas. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/1 ... d-00108082

The Supreme Court’s decision in the 2010 Citizens United case transformed the world of politics. It loosened restrictions on campaign spending and unleashed a flow of anonymous donor money to nonprofit groups run by political activists.

In the months before the ruling dropped in January of that year, a group of conservative activists came together to create just such an organization. Its mission would be to, at the time, block then-President Barack Obama’s pet initiatives.

The activists included Federalist Society leader Leonard Leo and his ideological soulmate, a hard-edged activist named Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

“Ginni really wanted to build an organization and be a movement leader,” said a person familiar with her thinking at that time. “Leonard [Leo] was going to be the conduit of that.”

She also had a rich backer: Harlan Crow, the manufacturing billionaire who had helped Thomas and her husband in many ways, from funding luxury vacations to picking up tuition payments for their great-nephew.

At the time, the Citizens United ruling was widely expected, as the court had already signaled its intentions. When it came, it upended nearly 100 years of campaign spending restrictions.

The conservative legal movement seized the moment with greater success than any other group, and the consequences have shaped American jurisprudence and politics in dramatic ways.
