    Looks like Ginny's arm is too arthritic to crack that whip in the bedroom.

    He has become wealthy from all the millions in "gifts" he has received from wealthy right wing "donors" while pushing a completely right wing agenda on the bench, and his wife was an active participant in the plot to overturn the 2002 election and he complains. And here he is whining about how mean his critics are. Has there ever been a more pathetic supreme court justice?

    Thomas says critics are pushing ‘nastiness’ and calls Washington a ‘hideous place’
    The justice has faced criticisms that he accepted luxury trips from a GOP donor without reporting them.

    The most underreported story of the past few decades. The proof of capture of the final healthy arm of US government that had remained relatively minimally politicized in the past several decades. Was really sad to hear about that and god knows what they've successfully hidden.

    Judicial, executive, legislative all significantly captured by various lobbyists. A very dark and depressing time for democracy and free expression to be honest but that's life I guess, another country will pick up the slack.

    Well, Thomas should take John Oliver's $1 million dollars a year for life offer and get the **** out of DC to the nearest Walmart's parking lot ... so he be with "his people".

    Dollars to Donuts, Thomas has a Cayman bank account with more money than John Oliver is willing to offer. This is how Old Rich White Men roll.

    He's an incredibly bitter man. Bitterness is a through line throughout his life.
