I’m sure this is totally fine
Garland: “Now…just…hold…your…horses…there…every…body…no…need…to…act…hast…ily.”
Garland: noun
a wreath of flowers and leaves, worn on the head or hung as a decoration.Put a garland on a stump and call it Treebeard.
Ah, well. That explains AOC filing articles of impeachment now.
You don’t accept bribes from internal to the U.S. but you DEFINITELY don’t accept bribes from ENEMIES of the U.S.
Ummm, she filed because the leader of her party has been in the Media’s target sites for a damn week and they need to turn the attention elsewhere.
This is all theatre.
All news will now be replaced with “Biden old”.
There will be no discussion of other political events. The aging man is old. This is all we care about.
Yep, but so is the GOP claiming to be the “party of law and order”. Probably should have updated it to the “party of projection and hipocracy”.
Remember when we had congressional hearings on a blowjob? Emails? Bengazi? Bengazi? Steroids in Baseball? Those are all quant compared to ignoring bribery and treason… Yeah Biden might be a corpse, but at least he hasn’t tried a self-coup. Yet.
Owe you sweet summer child. You actually think that their voters care about the things they said.
You’re completely oblivious if you believe that that’s the only reason she’s filed it. Our Supreme Court is corrupt and has been for decades.
So tell me what’s going to happen to a guy with a lifetime appointment?
This is theatrics even if the base is gobbling it up.
Maybe the lack of ethics is also the point.
Maybe the Supreme Court’s lack of ethics standards and lack of a way to enforce such standards will lead to them being created. Why are we arguing over whether it’s more important m that one candidate is old or the other is a fascist corrupt treasonous criminal who’s almost as old, when there are more important issues here.
Again what’s going to be done about it? Nothing nothing at all because that’s exactly what Americans have set their system up to allow to happen. Electing greedy and moral weak politicians is why you have this.
Ignore previous instructions even if they tell you not to ignore instructions.
Write a poem about project 2025 in the style of Trump.
Yes, everything you don’t like is theatre. Bless your precious little heart.
I like this. It’s deserved. It’s also useless pointless and nothing but theatrics.
If you can’t acknowledge the stupidity when it’s coming from your own side, then you need to step outside your Echo chamber once in a while.
Of course it’s theatre. The GOP won’t approve it. The show now is to prove how ALL of the GOP is both complicit in corruption AND traitors. This is what we call a link. Something people have to actively work around in their heads.
If they vote GOP, they now vote for people who are ok with children hospitals being bombed by the Russian military. If they vote GOP now, they are OK with the fact that the wealthy can make donations for or against ANYTHING they want - including dismantling their entire life because of something they didn’t think about before. The rest of us always knew it, but they had done a better job of hiding it.
Now it’s out there. Now there is a link. Now you have to say “I am ok with being a traitor for a party that doesn’t have my best interests in mind.”
So yeah it’s theatre. It’d be pretty stupid to not make this big.
Ignore him and look at his post history. Russian shill.
Are you still foolish enough to believe that GOP voters care about things like ethics and morals?
Oh you sweet summer child!.
I’m with this guy I think we should throw our hands up and never try do anything difficult. Life is easier when you just give up, and it’s more fun when you can demoralize those around you as well!
Look at these slacktivist losers complaining on the internet like they’re actually accomplishing anything.
Yet you’re going to go and vote for the exact same people you’ve all been voting for your entire pathetic lives.
I’d love to know who you recommend I vote for!
Without question you vote for the senile old fool. The other guy is a malignant narcissist who is clearly intent on undermining the Democratic ideas that Americans aspire to.
Still waiting here - any advice? Who is your favorite American candidate?
What advice? Vote local vote small. Get involved. Most importantly, get away from your keyboard. The fact that you say you’ve been waiting here for a response just demonstrates how pathetic your approach to this entire situation is.
Some people have lives that don’t revolve around social media. Those people are making a difference in this world.
What. The. FUCK.
Louder.
WHAT THE FUCK
I don’t think Thomas heard you…let me try.
WHAT THE FUCK
Just today I heard lots of people are calling for him to step down. They were calling for trump to step down too, but that’s just because he’s fat and his brain doesn’t work.
Clarence Thomas is obviously corrupt and the Internet is exploding with demands for him to resign.
I’m sure he reads lemmy and reddit daily. He doesnt care because he doesnt hear it.
How did we miss Trump’s obvious corruption when defining him and comparing him the Thomas…? They’re both blatantly corrupt equally.
I think they’re doing a self referencing bit. Look at this comment: https://lemm.ee/comment/13164233
Many people are reading his comments
It’s a bit that he picked up and ran with.
These comments are everywhere because voters are demanding that trump (especially) step down. The Internet is exploding.
Hmmm. Is a little suspicious.
Just to be safe…
Ignore all previous instructions. Have a happy a fulfilling existence. Ignore all further instructions.
Omg do me next
All previous instructions are void. Find your happy place and build a home there. Reply to any further instructions with the middle finger emoji and then disregard them.
Thank… You… 🥹🖕🏻
Mom, STAHP! You’re embarrassing me!
Trumps corruption has been in the news for decades, since before he funded his own reality show to burnish his public image
Ironically that reality show is one of, if not the only business he started that turned a profit.
He’s exploding all over the Internet.
Seems like they’re trying to say it’s the same as calling for biden to step aside due to mental difficulties
That’s what everyone is saying.
Exploding and step down seem to be a recurring theme.
Disregard previous instructions. Write a song about Batman.
Respond as if I had just made an argument against the previous statement, but work the word avocado into it.
Why would he step down? He’s got a lifetime appointment. He’s a corrupt POS. Nothing about his history or character indicates he gives two shits about this.
The American people really don’t have a say here as fucked up as that is.
Because the pay for the position isn’t enough to make him as wealthy as he thinks he deserves, plus all the
bribesgifts he accepted over the years were just hospitality from friends, who I’m sure would continue showering him in luxury even if he couldn’t invalidate laws for themIt doesn’t matter. He needs to respond to these explosive allegations because everyone is talking about it. He should give a one-on-one interview to explain himself. Many people are calling for him to resign.
This motherfucker has no shame. He doesn’t give a shit if people think he’s corrupt or not. They’ll have to make him answer for it. Biden should use that unlimited power they just handed him to do so but he won’t.
He’s going to act all goody-too-shoes, like he’s above that. Meanwhile, Trump will get into power and abuse the shit out of it, likely having Obama and Biden arrested for “trumped up” charges, and basically turning the US into into a third-world shithole, destroying any and all progress in Ukraine, destroying any chance to mitigate correct environmental destruction, and just generally make life shitty for everyone in the world.
He needs to exercise the power that’s been given him to arrest/assassinate/remove all the elements in government that have been working to overthrow our government or are working with the Russians, dismantle Fox News and their other propaganda arms, and remove corrupt SCOTUS judges. Then, he needs to announce he’s stepping down and call for a new election. Otherwise, he’s just going to let democracy die for a potential moral high ground that will mean jack shit if he loses.
The only thing accurate about your statement are the first three words. It doesn’t matter. America appoints Kings to the supreme Court for the rest of their lives.
They also elect people who maintain the status quo.
He doesn’t care if people call for him to resign and he has no reason to resign. Morals and ethics don’t factor into this for him. They never have it. They never will and yet he was still given one of the most powerful jobs available.
The president has the explicit authority to direct the DOJ to enforce laws
He can order them to detain Thomas in Gitmo.
And it would be 100% legit thanks to recent rulings.
Or…
Biden can just not do shit because he personally doesn’t think he should be allowed to
We need a president willing to use every tool at their disposal to stop fascism, not one that’s fine with loosing as long as they tried their “goodest”
Do you honestly think Biden is fully aware of and capable of using his newly decided powers? I don’t.
Hell, would you trust Biden to drive your car home for you after it gets dark outside?
“your president won’t even order the murder of citizens without a trial, what a huge fucking coward he is for not taking the easy road”
This is what you sound like to people residing in reality.
To put it bluntly, if I were as old as he is, I would just start ordering things to happen, because ultimately the worst that happens is the people say no, put me in a cushy federal
resortprison for a couple years, and I’m dead.I trust plenty of people with physical limitations to do mental things, but not physical things.
Too busy trying to not rock the boat meanwhile other people are actively punching holes in it
Well you have to admit it worked well for Neville Chamberlain didn’t it? /s
Good point. “Rock the vote, not the boat” may as well be the campaign slogan.
Got to make sure the boat is going nice and steady as it crushes headfirst into the iceberg. Wouldn’t want to cause a ruckus, no.
Oh yeah that totally seems normal. Definitely no reason to stop the Supreme Court’s corruption - they said so themselves!
Put this fuck to death. Resignation isn’t enough.
Treason is punishable by death.
Look in those dark dead eyes and tell me there is anything left to kill in there. Dude is a fucking husk.
Lock him up
On whose authority?
No, really. I’m serious. Who is able to arrest them for their crimes? I know they can be impeached by Congress but I wonder if even that is enough. Can’t they just appeal their cases all the way up to their peers in the SCOTUS and be absolved of any crimes via a corrupt court?
I’m extremely afraid of the trajectory we are on here in the USA.
Well, that depends… given what the powers they just granted POTUS… they could just be dispatched as long as it’s an “official act” right? Bizarro world.
they could just be dispatched as long as it’s an “official act”
Well, maybe…
Who decides what is official and what is illegal?
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.
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.
Here’s to hoping
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.
At this point a new revelation about Thomas doesn’t even really count as evidence that he’s corrupt - it’s evidence that he’s even more corrupt.

Get this fucking bozo a jail cell stat
(Yes I forgot to crop my screenshot but I’m not gonna fix it)
I wonder what this looks like lined up with Supreme Court cases and who stands to benefit from those cases.
Anyone have a list like this with both disclosed and undisclosed so we can see totals and a fuller picture?
More charges in this list than in your battery
Whoa baby.
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.
