I’m sure this is totally fine
What. The. FUCK.
Just today I heard lots of people are calling for him to step down. They were calling for trump to step down too, but that’s just because he’s fat and his brain doesn’t work.
Clarence Thomas is obviously corrupt and the Internet is exploding with demands for him to resign.
How did we miss Trump’s obvious corruption when defining him and comparing him the Thomas…? They’re both blatantly corrupt equally.
Edit: I just ran into this guy commenting in another thread. Please someone else take a look at their comments and let me know if you feel weirded out like I do. They’re… uncanny. It could just be me, the ‘step down’ repetitiveness is weird.
I think they’re doing a self referencing bit. Look at this comment: https://lemm.ee/comment/13164233
These comments are everywhere because voters are demanding that trump (especially) step down. The Internet is exploding.
Seems like they’re trying to say it’s the same as calling for biden to step aside due to mental difficulties
Trumps corruption has been in the news for decades, since before he funded his own reality show to burnish his public image
Why would he step down? He’s got a lifetime appointment. He’s a corrupt POS. Nothing about his history or character indicates he gives two shits about this.
The American people really don’t have a say here as fucked up as that is.
It doesn’t matter. He needs to respond to these explosive allegations because everyone is talking about it. He should give a one-on-one interview to explain himself. Many people are calling for him to resign.
Because the pay for the position isn’t enough to make him as wealthy as he thinks he deserves, plus all the bribes gifts he accepted over the years were just hospitality from friends, who I’m sure would continue showering him in luxury even if he couldn’t invalidate laws for them
That yacht trip to Russia is listed as 2003. So, the Russians have had a US Supreme Court justice on their payroll for 20 years now?
If you find that surprising, just wait until you hear who Trump’s personal banker at Deuchebank was when everyone else was turning him down during the last recession.
For those who may just be surfing and want to know… she was fired (allowed to resign) after they started digging into ties with Russian money. Jared Kushner and I believe some of Trump’s kids were also her client (no shock there).
Also somewhat unsurpisingly Deutsche didn’t find any connection to russian from their own internal investigation, but were prompted to hire external investigators… and I’ll just post this little gem because if that doesn’t sound like “we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong” to you, then this may help seal your opinion
In recent years the disgraced bank has been hit by a series of scandals. Last month the UK and US imposed record fines of $630m. Deutsche failed to prevent money laundering by its Moscow branch involving at least $10bn of Russian cash, regulators found.
She? I was talking about Justin Kennedy, son of Supreme Court Justice Kennedy, and Trump’s personal Deutsche Bank (read: Russian money laundering) contact.
“Last month the UK and US imposed record fines of $630m. Deutsche failed to prevent money laundering by its Moscow branch involving at least $10bn of Russian cash, regulators found.”
Does anyone else get the feeling that everyone’s cool with it as long as they get their cut? They’re fine as long as they pay the fine.
Russia was sort of trusted around then. It doesn’t prove he’s on their payroll, it’s just his usual level of corruption where he gets bribes from everyone who is willing.
Of all the things I’m not surprised by, this is one of them. The fact that a Republican accepts bribes from Vladimir Putin ought to be immensely shocking, but the last ten years have utterly destroyed my capacity to be shocked by these people.
Assuming this country survives, history books looking back at this era are going to be fucking wild.
Remember, that’s the playbook… The waves never stop crashing on the shore and you become numb to how totally unacceptable even one of these corrupt acts is. Before you know it, there are 300 of them at your feet and they are consistently escalating and you are just exhausted and overwhelmed.
The president has the explicit authority to direct the DOJ to enforce laws
He can order them to detain Thomas in Gitmo.
And it would be 100% legit thanks to recent rulings.
Or…
Biden can just not do shit because he personally doesn’t think he should be allowed to
We need a president willing to use every tool at their disposal to stop fascism, not one that’s fine with loosing as long as they tried their “goodest”
Too busy trying to not rock the boat meanwhile other people are actively punching holes in it
Do you honestly think Biden is fully aware of and capable of using his newly decided powers? I don’t.
Hell, would you trust Biden to drive your car home for you after it gets dark outside?
To put it bluntly, if I were as old as he is, I would just start ordering things to happen, because ultimately the worst that happens is the people say no, put me in a cushy federal resort prison for a couple years, and I’m dead.
I trust plenty of people with physical limitations to do mental things, but not physical things.
Ah, well. That explains AOC filing articles of impeachment now.
You don’t accept bribes from internal to the U.S. but you DEFINITELY don’t accept bribes from ENEMIES of the U.S.
Ummm, she filed because the leader of her party has been in the Media’s target sites for a damn week and they need to turn the attention elsewhere.
This is all theatre.
Of course it’s theatre. The GOP won’t approve it. The show now is to prove how ALL of the GOP is both complicit in corruption AND traitors. This is what we call a link. Something people have to actively work around in their heads.
If they vote GOP, they now vote for people who are ok with children hospitals being bombed by the Russian military. If they vote GOP now, they are OK with the fact that the wealthy can make donations for or against ANYTHING they want - including dismantling their entire life because of something they didn’t think about before. The rest of us always knew it, but they had done a better job of hiding it.
Now it’s out there. Now there is a link. Now you have to say “I am ok with being a traitor for a party that doesn’t have my best interests in mind.”
So yeah it’s theatre. It’d be pretty stupid to not make this big.
Are you still foolish enough to believe that GOP voters care about things like ethics and morals?
Oh you sweet summer child!.
You’re completely oblivious if you believe that that’s the only reason she’s filed it. Our Supreme Court is corrupt and has been for decades.
So tell me what’s going to happen to a guy with a lifetime appointment?
This is theatrics even if the base is gobbling it up.
Eta. You losers down voting are just bitter because you know that I’m right and there’s nothing that’s going to happen to this guy even though he’s fucking each and every one of you over while laughing at you about it.
Yes, everything you don’t like is theatre. Bless your precious little heart.
I like this. It’s deserved. It’s also useless pointless and nothing but theatrics.
If you can’t acknowledge the stupidity when it’s coming from your own side, then you need to step outside your Echo chamber once in a while.
Yep, but so is the GOP claiming to be the “party of law and order”. Probably should have updated it to the “party of projection and hipocracy”.
Remember when we had congressional hearings on a blowjob? Emails? Bengazi? Bengazi? Steroids in Baseball? Those are all quant compared to ignoring bribery and treason… Yeah Biden might be a corpse, but at least he hasn’t tried a self-coup. Yet.
