    If youre a conservative before 30 you dont have a heart. If youre a liberal after 40 you dont have a brain.

    today's Thoreau quote-of-the-day

    Thoreau's Journal - July 14, 1852
    The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or perchance a palace or temple on the earth, and at length the middle-aged man concludes to build a wood-shed with them.

    Straight from a rag that wouldn’t know quality journalism if it were to bite it’s arse. Thomas is being vilified by Americans who care about their country, about a woman’s right to have control over her own body, and the judicial integrity of the nation’s highest court. They care about the fact that the wife of Thomas was involved in the conspiracy that culminated in the assault on our capital. An assault that was an attempt to subvert the outcome of the free and fair election of Joe Biden as President, and that Thomas has refused to recuse himself from cases related to that attempted coup.

    That you attempt to support Thomas in this pitiful way is a sad and sorry thing.

    odd that you're shooting the messenger here (me, WFB) rather than addressing the substance of Owens' remarks. maybe I'm an easier target than a black man who doesn't want to live on the democratic plantation.

    For a group that claims anti-black racism doesn't exist, conservatives love to throw the term around whenever a black Republican is criticized. His skin color doesn't excuse his extreme views, support for insurrection, or complete willingness to lie SCOTUS' belly up for Trump...something Trumps appointees didnt even do.

    Facts dont care about your feelings.

    Comments like this demonstrate a really poor understanding of racism, and the issues with Clarence Thomas.

    I cant put his comments in context because I don't know the questions leading up to it, but it was alleged he assaulted Anita Hill and then 9 years later he allegedly did it again at a dinner party where witnesses confirmed that they were told at the time what happened.

    And now 30 years later we find out that the RV man really wasn't transparent about his dealings with a radical right donor who had cases before the Supreme Court and that he also paid for his moms house, fixed it up and is turning into a museum so she can live there rent free, for good measure the donor bought all the properties so RV man didnt have to pay.................AND then funded luxurious trips for him and his nut job right wing wife who had more to do with J6 then you want to believe.

    So if the original question was about his character then I think we know all that went down

    LOL........you use this simp for trying to call Joe a "lyncher".........................maga gonna maga huh basso, who ya gonna quote next.....Alex Jones, MTG, Gaetz
