DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
Not really the same, it's that it's specifically been allowed.

Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
Yes, Supreme Court members can do whatever they want and are held to zero ethical standards. I think most people would assume the supposedly most honorable people in America would be above taking bribes.
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

What are you babbling about? Of course they have ethical standards.

Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
On the surface, it doesn't sound great. How do you combat it?

Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
I am babbling about Justice Thomas accepting bribes. I realize you won’t call them bribes. They are merely gifts to him from friends that liked him so much that they wanted to give him hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts because he’s just such a great person. They wanted to buy him Winnebago’s, houses and pay for relatives educations because he deserves it for being such an honorable person.

Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
That I’m not sure…I would support eliminating it being a lifetime appointment…that seems unnecessary and potentially dangerous. I also am not sure I like them being appointed by whoever happens to be in control at the time.
Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
If he did something illegal, they should prosecute him, or he should be impeached. Wake me up when that happens.Nodack wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 2:40 pmI am babbling about Justice Thomas accepting bribes. I realize you won’t call them bribes.

Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
So you have no problem with Supreme Court justices talking hundred thousand dollar gifts from corporations they rule on? It’s not illegal and you see no conflict of interest there? Thomas says it is widely accepted and not unethical and I guess you agree.

Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
I do not think they should be in the pockets of corporations or lobbyists, just like I don't think that politicians are working in our best interest when they do it either. It would be great to get money out of the machine all together. I think you blaming everything on Clarence Thomas is a bit ridiculous, when this is a systemic problem.

Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
I just said he was taking bribes. I don’t recall blaming everything on him. I’m sure if George Soros donated a half a million dollars to each left leaning Supreme Court judge that you wouldn’t have a problem with that.

Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
You are specifically targeting Clarence Thomas, because you blame him for outcomes you don't like. Otherwise, you wouldn't even care. How do we know that the other justices aren't doing the same?

Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
Case outcomes aside, Clarence Thomas shouldn't be accepting fancy gifts and vacations from people who directly bring cases before the Court, which is what he has done. If you defend that, In2, then we disagree.
Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
I am specifically targeting Clarence Thomas because he was the one busted taking bribes and telling us all that it is perfectly normal and acceptable. Maybe they all take bribes/gifts. No Supreme Court Justice from any race, sex, religion or political party should be accepting these things. That should be a complete no brainer. Having a Supreme Court wife who refuses to accept the results of the last Presidential election and was part of the political group promoting that theory is scary. I care because our country is hanging on by a thread and nobody believes in anything anymore. Why should anybody believe in Clarence Thomas?

Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
I am talking about Republicans refusing to accept the results of elections they lose. Most spouses of Supreme Court justices make it a point to avoid politicking. Not Ginny. She is a right wing political activist who promoted not accepting the results of the election.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginni_Thomas
Thomas supported Donald Trump during his presidency, offering the administration recommendations on individuals to hire through her work with the conservative Groundswell group. Following Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election, she repeatedly urged Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows to take steps to overturn the result.[4] Thomas also emailed state lawmakers in Arizona and Wisconsin, urging them to ignore the results of the 2020 presidential election and vote instead for an alternate slate of electors.[5] She made an early social media endorsement of the Trump rally that preceded the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol before the violence took place, and she later apologized for contributing to a rift among her husband's former Supreme Court clerks concerning that riot.

Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
Question for the folks who come to this section: Since there are so many Trump trials and court cases lately, would it be helpful to have one thread for each? Or is it better to post info about any of them under this same "Trump indicted" thread?
Re: DONALD TRUMP INDICTED
Don't know how significant this is.

I’d say one for each but you might run out of site memory.
