I’m sure this is totally fine
This should be the first supreme court sanctioned execution by Biden LMAO 🤣
“Putin’s hometown” is one of largest city. Saint Petesburg.
It was a big tourist destination for anyone visiting Russia when that was a desirable thing.
Yes. Also it is former capital.
Also it is just next-door to the Baltic states, so it makes sense to book a short trip to there (for whoever was bribing Thomas with trips back then)
Not as close as to Finland, but close enough.
In his defense, … he was actually working there in a sense.
Tl;dr?
The joke is that Thomas is a paid operative working for Putin
I don’t see the joke; this just sounds like a statement of fact.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who took this at face value
That yacht trip to Russia is listed as 2003. So, the Russians have had a US Supreme Court justice on their payroll for 20 years now?
Russia was sort of trusted around then. It doesn’t prove he’s on their payroll, it’s just his usual level of corruption where he gets bribes from everyone who is willing.
If you find that surprising, just wait until you hear who Trump’s personal banker at Deuchebank was when everyone else was turning him down during the last recession.
For those who may just be surfing and want to know… she was fired (allowed to resign) after they started digging into ties with Russian money. Jared Kushner and I believe some of Trump’s kids were also her client (no shock there).
Also somewhat unsurpisingly Deutsche didn’t find any connection to russian from their own internal investigation, but were prompted to hire external investigators… and I’ll just post this little gem because if that doesn’t sound like “we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong” to you, then this may help seal your opinion
In recent years the disgraced bank has been hit by a series of scandals. Last month the UK and US imposed record fines of $630m. Deutsche failed to prevent money laundering by its Moscow branch involving at least $10bn of Russian cash, regulators found.
“Last month the UK and US imposed record fines of $630m. Deutsche failed to prevent money laundering by its Moscow branch involving at least $10bn of Russian cash, regulators found.”
Does anyone else get the feeling that everyone’s cool with it as long as they get their cut? They’re fine as long as they pay the fine.
She? I was talking about Justin Kennedy, son of Supreme Court Justice Kennedy, and Trump’s personal Deutsche Bank (read: Russian money laundering) contact.
Different banker. Same bank.
How long has he been with SCOTUS though?
1991, and his confirmation hearing was one for the ages. Look it up.

Perfectly normal!
…right?

I am willing to bet the majority of the MAGA movement is funded by Russia. Everything goes back to Putin every fucking time.
It was funded by oligarchs, and Russia is a playground for oligarchs (until they cross Putin).
Well some of them, others went to London and started to cross Putin.
And got a fucking polonium pin prick for it… While in London.
Unless we’re talking about different people.
Probably sucked his little dick too
I mean the gift part of it is ridiculous and all, but Putin’s hometown is St. Petersburg. A trip to St. Petersburg in 2003 is probably tourism, more a sign of being on Harlan Crow’s payroll than Putin’s.
The appearance of corruption is corruption. Judges know that. Everyone knows that.
We can explain away things, but it was his job to make sure we wouldn’t need to. This is not an edge case. And if it were, why didn’t he disclose it, as basic CYA? … Oh, yeah, we know why.
Here’s to hoping
2003
I feel like that’d be important to note right away. That’s two decades ago. Not mentioning that makes it sound a lot more recent. Though I guess he was working the same job back then too.
Oh yeah that totally seems normal. Definitely no reason to stop the Supreme Court’s corruption - they said so themselves!
Are we going to do another russia scandal now? That trump one worked out so good, I am sure this one will too!
Clarence Thomas: The reason I took this trip to visit Putin in his home undisclosed, was of course so you shouldn’t find out.
You shouldn’t meddle in private matters, of who I’m gay with or not, or I’ll have you hanged.None of which is surprising to anyone who is paying even the slightest bit of attention. The right wing has been bought and paid for by Russia for at least the past decade.
