Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told attendees at a judicial conference Friday that he and his wife have faced “nastiness” and “lies” over the last several years and decried Washington, D.C., as a “hideous place.”
Thomas spoke at a conference attended by judges, attorneys and other court personnel in the 11th Circuit Judicial Conference, which hears federal cases from Alabama, Florida and Georgia. He made the comments pushing back on his critics in response to a question about working in a world that seems meanspirited.
“I think there’s challenges to that. We’re in a world and we — certainly my wife and I the last two or three years it’s been — just the nastiness and the lies, it’s just incredible,” Thomas said.
“But you have some choices. You don’t get to prevent people from doing horrible things or saying horrible things. But one you have to understand and accept the fact that they can’t change you unless you permit that,” Thomas said.
Sucks to suck, bitch!
What a vile disgusting excuse for a human being this trash bag is. Fuck you and fuck the corrupt court.
I mean look at where the fuckin needle is on the “is this too much?” Criticism of a corrupt scotus judge with a white supremacist wife guilty of encouraging sedition is nasty, deporting college students for protests to an active warzone where your very own country is enabling/encouraging genocide is maybe a plausible way to curb protests/free speech.
Yup everything’s fine.
Not just a warzone, but one the very one the protesters are protesting. I don’t understand why anyone sees this as clever… It’s just insanely fucking cruel and tonedef to say this.
Yeah it got nasty WHEN CLARENCE THOMAS PUT HIS OWN PUBIC HAIR ON A COKE CAN. True story. Look it up. I still believe Anita Hill
What the media did to Anita Hill was absolutely horrendous and every outlet and personality who made a punch line out of her back then should apologize for their absolute disrespect of a woman who did something that was beyond brave.
His mocking her, along with all the Monica Lewinsky jokes, is a big reason why Jay Leno can go get fucked.
Yep, the democratic senator from Delaware that guided his confirmation through the judiciary committee should be shunned forever.
In favor of the grab em by the pussy guy?
Ideally those things would’ve been raised during the primary so Americans wouldn’t be left with the choice between a conservative and a fascist.
.
He’s still very conservative. He’s basically a 1970s era Republican.
Deluding yourself into thinking Biden would have made any of the progress he currently has without pressure from the outside is insane. Forgiving student debt, HE wrote the bill making it permanent.
People can change, Biden obviously has, but left to his own devices he is another white male career politician. His only saving grace is he can compromise.

Seems like a great cause for #metoo to explore
The me too movement is simply many in society finally telling women that it’s finally ok to tell the stories of how men in powerful positions have abused and humiliated them.
Anita Hill is basically an original #metoo badass from a time when it was not only not ok but severely frowned upon. She told her story even though our society crucified her for it.
Yes, he was never appropriately reprimanded imho
The media and Joe Biden personally lol
It’s not just a story, it’s a gag he has done multiple times. There’s at least two coworkers in another era of his life who claimed he pulled the same prank (or whatever you call that)
I would beat the absolute shit out of this bitch if he tried that
yes, violence solves everything.
/s
Is beating up a scotus judge everything for you? If so that’s a very unhealthy way to live life.
“The nastiness and lies, it’s just incredible,** and the truths… The truths are even worse as they just won’t shut up about them - it’s like ummm guys, hello, I didn’t discourse that stuff on forms for a reason. You’re being like super uncool right now?!”**
What a disgrace.
You could always resign!
There’s even a cushy RV waiting for him.
Motor coach*
Welp, John Oliver had a time limit in that. Let’s hope that John (and HBO or whatever) is/are still feeling generous.
In a recent interview with IIRC Seth Meyers he said he’s gladly reopen the offer if there was interest from Thomas. If you’d like me to dig up the link I can try and find it.
Thank you. Great to hear. I’ll probably find the stuff, but if you have the time and inclination, I’d be glad if you put it in the comments so that others also could see it.

Here ya go
Thanks. Saw it, but so thankful that you took the time to reply.
Facebook kinda thingy: <3
Corrupt Clarence Thomas who accepts bribes and doesn’t recuse himself from ruling on the insurrection efforts his wife took part in thinks DC is too mean.
Judging by the title alone, it sounds like the critics are pushing him.
Aww…
Life was so much more easier when Clarence could commit acts of corruption without being called out.
I’ll say this in his defense, he is part of why I’m married. Mind you it’s because he’s a shitbag that threatened to take away my right to marry, but still that may be the only positive effect he’s had

Maybe it’s because he’s such an awful awful person that everyone is just so mean to him and his awful awful wife.
It is genuinely amazing the lengths this man will go to deny his level of impropriety as if it’s some grand conspiracy and not heavily documented; I am happy others are open to making his existence as miserable as he makes ours.
He’s whining about this from the seat of his free RV in his way to another luxury fishing trip.
It’s worth informing those who don’t know that his wife is a 2020 election denyer. She referred to it as a “heist”. She’s a piece of work, just like him.
Not just that, she was actively involved in January 6 iirc
Gosh, that sounds terrible. You should quit.
Naaa, he’s just whining in hopes of more right wing lucre.
Oh no! People are being mean to the human equivalent of an unwiped asshole covered in weeping pus sores?
Medeling kids!
I guess he didn’t get much of this before when he was busy with all his vacations. He’s just not so used to be called out on his bullshit from such a wider audience as now.
Resign you creepy asshole.
