Am I the only person who wasn't bribing Clarence Thomas?

[–] Geek_King@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Clearly Clarence would have given you the time had you just asked. He's VERY receptive.

Me: I got $8 and a sandwich

Clarence: Which is your least favorite civil right?

[–] Geek_King@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Morally bankrupt, and hungry. Exactly what you want in a Supreme Court Justice.

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Morally bankrupt and, in Brett Kavanaugh's case, actually bankrupt as well. He had $300k in debt just disappear when he was nominated for SCotUS. Fun part of that is at the time he claimed to only have about $10k in liquid assets on his financial disclosures.

That is literally the article linked in the post.

Yes, and I couldn't get it to load without going to propublica.org directly. So I linked it directly, to help others. There's still a few flaky things about the fediverse, and since I'd gone to the trouble to find the article, I figured to save others a few clicks.
