Liar 🤥
Yes and that’s why you were supposed to report it. Duh
Yeah ok!
Stop the witch hunts everyone hates you guys
Of course, imagine if he was a democrat then it would matter.
Personal hospitality.... Ha!
One trip was worth more than half a million dollars. Whoever you think you’re kidding, you’re not.
Says that’s a fact . Check out Biden’s homes on 175 grand.
Clarence “santos” Thomas!!
There’s no such thing as a free lunch… Economics 101
'personal hospitality,'😂🤣🤣😂😂
Yeah right! Ha!
ImpeachThomas
My employer requires me to complete ethics training annually. I expect Justice Thomas to know the rules and optics around all these lavish 'gifts' and 'personal hospitality' trips. People curry favor and influence with powerful, wealthy people. Clarence Thomas must resign.
Clarence Thomas says trips are personal hospitality from a friend, not business. Friend OR foe---wouldn't $500,000 trips make you feel a little obligated to them? I sorta think it would. 🥴
Uh yeah right Clarence whatever you say. If you were a casual civilian and not a Justice then it wouldn’t matter.
He should be fired just for that dumb excuse.
🙄
I call them BRIBES.
Yeah right
Look at Pelosi?
Trust him to argue weasel words and sophistry (again) rather than doing the honourable thing and resigning.
The judge has a rich friend ! So what get over it , the woke are jealous again .
If you're not paying for it, then you're being bought. It is business, you're the commodity. Plain and simple.
THOMAS deliberately broke disclosure laws, alone. Total disgrace. Compromised his bench for numerous untracked favors,as yet. IMPEACH. personal favors
Thomas is a corrupt piece of trash on americas floor.
He's right.
His denial makes his infractions that much worse. A gop propagandist would deny, delay, obstruct. So he's following the script as written by trump perfectly. Not honorable. Not moral nor ethical.
Clarence Thomas has serious ethical accounting issues
…. And Bank robbers go into Banks to make deposits!
A $500k vacation is anything but personal hospitality. And it’s certainly not personal pride.
Thomas lacks sound judgment. ImpeachClarenceThomas
Most of the US clearly has different definitions than Clarence Thomas.
Bought
No laws broken, get over it…
Would Thomas lie? Would Ginni try to overturn election results?
Welp, I guess that settles that. Better luck next time.
Huh
I cry bullshit!
We see you Justice Thomas, we see exactly who you are.
怼不动的，死心吧 我大托哥，稳如磐石
Lame response of a corrupt Supreme Court justice. If there are NO clear written guidelines on ethics within the SCOTUS, it is time to clear-up the mess. He accepts expensive gifts from a mega donor who belongs to the political party he and Ginni support.
Liar! Corrupt court! Shame! Can’t trust these judges!
If he doesn’t understand why this problematic then his moral compass is broken and he shouldn’t be on the court. Just because he wasn’t handed cash doesn’t mean he wasn’t influenced with all the “gifts”
Clarence can do whatever he likes. At least it gives something for MSNBC hosts and pundits something to whine about. To the conservative justices go the spoils!!
Personal donations makes it even worse. Why would he be getting personal donations?
To quote my BIL: Be so kind as to quote the 'personal hospitality' exemption to that corruption statute.
Strike down roe v wade then u can vacation with is.
Right. 🙄
Every one of these judges take trips with “billionaires” so I’m really not sure at all what the story is here
The same rule also applies to Democrat nominated supreme Court justices
I listen to my friends because I am only a judge. I have very poor judgment on legal matters.
🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
Stop harassing this person of color!
And I’m a brain surgeon
The U.S. Supreme Court is as corrupt as it is possible for a governing institution to be.
Corrupt AF. SCOTUSIsCompromised
That’s BS and he knows it…
He should know the law and if he doesn't then he shouldn't serve on the bench.
“Criminal claims he’s innocent”
We have a scofflaw in our SCOTUS.
BS
Even ClarenceThomas' excuses are corrupt.
Nah, sugar baby. You knew what you were doing
It is Thomas himself, and his odious and privileged wife, who have contributed mightily to a diminution of respect for the Supreme Court, a vital pillar of American democracy.
what does 'personal' or 'business' have to do it? judges accepting 'gifts' from wealthy donors looks BAD. The the bigger the gifts the worse it looks. Just because something isn't illegal doesn't mean it's ethical or moral.
Absolutely not. Dinner is one thing; lavish trips and transport is unethical and nothing more than influence to the court
It is undisputed that his 'friend' who showered Thomas with gifts had numerous cases before the court. So why didn't Thomas recuse? Thomas can't have it both ways. Either Holt was a friend and so he was obliged to recuse or Holt bribed him with $500, 000 in 'hospitality'.
And Biden receiving millions from his son Hunter’s deals with the Chinese was personal too?
His dear friend financed a political job for Thomas's wife at 120k a year. The dear friend is a huge financial contributor to ultra conservative causes. The dear friend was buying influence.
Mr Thomas has know this man for Years and is a personal friend. Just like Epstein was a personal friend of Bill Clintons while in office. Right!? 26 flights
Even if the trips were personal hospitality. As a Judge/Justice he should know that any perceived unethical actions are a cause for concern as the courts legitimacy is based on trust.
Lies like a Trump.
😂😂
Libs have been attacking the sole black man on the court for years. Just despicable racists.
Also this overarching anti-corruption provision: 'A judicial officer ... is not permitted to ... accept anything of value from a person seeking official action from ... or from any other person whose interests may be substantially affected by ... the judge’s official duties'
Hey, maybe he was also told over $500,000 valued gifts don't need to be reported on IRS tax forms as taxable other income as well. It pays to be Supreme Court Justice. He is a Lucky dude!! For unprivileged taxpayers like us, we will be getting a bunch of 1099-MISC forms.
So no democratic people do anything like this guy is
Also in the guidebook: 'The reporting exemption does not include ... gifts extended at property or facilities owned by an entity, rather than by an individual or an individual’s family, even if the entity is owned wholly or in part by an individual or an individual’s family;'
Imagine being this corrupt and still thinking you can pass judgement on others...
Nah buddy
Also in the guidebook: 'The reporting exemption does not include ... gifts extended at a commercial property, e.g., a resort or restaurant, or at a property that is regularly rented out to others for a business purpose.'
Smh he got jokes🙄👏🏼
Right in the guidebook: 'The reporting exemption does not include ... gifts other than food, lodging or entertainment, such as transportation that substitutes for commercial transportation;'
When and how did you meet this billionaire? Let's look at phone records to glean communications.
BS
Justice Clarence Thomas, resign, to not be the Justice anymore to be free of any ethical constraints of freely receiving expensive trips by rich GOP fiends. Also people will see if you will receive free expensive trips as just a friend w/o power, for the next few decades or not!
Not by the definitions of the law.
My ass!
All the more reason to report 🤷🏾♀️
RTeachquijote Thomas has been on the bench for 30 years. His “friendship” with Harlan Crow began 25 years ago. Do the math
We got criminal judges dictating aspects of our lives.
When you’re a SC justice, nothing is personal, everything is business. He knows this. We all know this.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 PERSONAL HOSPITALITY HE REALLY NEEDS THAT BAD OVER NOTHING ELSE TO WORRY ABOUT!
Does it really matter WHY? Taking 'personal hospitality' gifts from billionaires is just as undermining.
ignorantia juris non excusat ignorantia legis neminem excusat
ANY chance a single on of your AM shows could maybe strain themselves and point out just a teeny-tiny amount of what Biden HAS accomplished? Maybe in between wall-to-wall coverage of Trump and Trans issues?
Ethics: well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues. Just zero ethics coming from those purchased and influenced by the right.
who do you know who gets $500K of hospitality gifts every year for the last 20 years? And you as a SCOTUS ought to know not to accept it by default.
Not tax payers money.
They were bribes
To 90% of Americans, 'personal hospitality' is hot dogs and burgers on the grill. Or maybe a weekend at their friend's drafty old lake house. It's not - 'Here's a trip that's worth more than the average US home price.'
It was personal while on vacay with him , until he got back to Washington and signed documents in his buddy’s favor !
Well there you go Clinton Foundation, and Biden Syndicate!
😂😂😂 right
Liar.
Where can I get me some friends like that?
Can say that about every lobbyist. Problem, the same billionaire and friends funded Ginnie Thomas's hate group.
What else is he going to say?
the court is corrupt, the legislature is corrupt, the entire state is corrupt. yet, republicans are concerned with who fucks who, and democrats are still schizophrenic about the orange guy
It's personal? and against the law. you wash my Back and I'll wash yours.
You would think as a Supreme Court judge he would understand influence peddling
Every cup of coffee, every glass of wine, every dinner invitation, every vacation is business to the one that is paying. This is the big league Justice Thomas and you are fully aware of that.
ImpeachClarenceThomas TermLimitsForSCOTUS
How the dem left launch nonstop false attacks against Trump, the GOP and conservatives because they view them as a threat to their evil, demoralizing, destabilizing, debased, destructive, ungodly agenda.
He wrote this while drinking $4,000 a bottle of wine.
I use to work for a defense contractor. The on site DCAS inspector wouldn’t even take a cup of coffee.
Who determines that?
