Between Jinny Thomas's right wing adventures, Clarence Thomas's vacations and real estate sales, Alito's fishing trips and real estate sales, Coney Barretts real estate deal and religious activism and finally Chief Justice Robert's wife earning $millions placing lawyers with firms with cases before the court AT WHAT POINT DOES SOMEBODY HAVE BALLS ENOUGH TO SAY WE DON'T TRUST YOUR DECISIONS AND WANT THEM ALL REVIEWED BY A NEW COURT?

Such hypocrisy. Democrats are much bigger crooks and a much bigger threat to the security of the nation. As long as there is a Trump Russian Collusion hoax and all that went with it, the democrats will forever be the biggest threats to our nation. For no reason in the world should anyone ever believe a thing they claim. Adam Schiff got just a taste of what that pos should be getting but let's hope more is coming for that slime ball and for the Biden family, Hillary, Comey, McGabe and a host of others liars and corrupt aholes.
 
I think that's actually missing the point. There is a system that grooms thousands of lawyers to support radical legal ideology to support oligarchy, and to get them into powerful positions, including being about the sole source of Republican judicial nominations, controlling the Supreme Court, spending almost a billion dollars to get the most recent Supreme Court Justices confirmed. That's the issue more than the 'billionaire friends'.

Game, set, match.

Thanks for exposing the truth for all to see.

You are 100% correct.

You just proved the Democratic Party has gone full blown weaponization.

By the likes of which we have never seen.

Thank you.

Do you have any more solid evidence? We’d love to see it. You are doing a great job.

You just connected all the dots for everyone to see. Again, thank you.

What do you mean "weaponization?" Are you suggesting the Democratic Party has the power to make Republicans commit crimes?

We will probably reach that point when we, the voters, have decided to hold ALL members of our government to that same standard.

Since our government is essentially controlled by various wealthy persons and corporations through the mechanism of an interwoven lobbying and media conglomerate network that pushes narratives to forward their goals and dissuade elected officials from implementing any others.
Edit: And of course, think tanks and organizations who trained and managed the careers of many current SCOTUS justices, not to mention many other federal justices, so that their ideas are ruled as correct more often than not.

That point will occur when enough voters realize this and vote in people who will not play the game.


Edit: I've heard it said that change does not come from electoral politics, change occurs before and electoral politics eventually catches up.
They just hold the line at best, usually.
Until enough people push, metaphorically.

You’re un-connecting your own dots with deflection and projection again.

Huh?


 
We need terms if the Supreme Court will now be used in this political tennis match. Life time appointments have been abused. Time to change things up.

That's not really the solution to the problem. It's a bit like saying 'we're seeing an increase in police corruption and wrong violence. Time to put term limits on police officers'. Having corrupted Supreme Court justices for terms isn't any better.

Don't forget about Kavanaugh's debts suddenly getting paid off.

Another memo from the land of zero evidence.

Seriously, where do you get this shit? There was never any hoax. There was an investigation that not only was more than justified by findings of US intelligence agencies of Russian interference in our elections, but was the most successful and productive investigation in the history of Special Councils. Not only that, it was the first such investigation to ever pay for itself in fines and penalties. That's the opposite of a hoax.


It's long past time for you to get out of your grotto, and stop breathing your own Methane. The Mueller investigation results were released years ago already. I know it's hard for you, but try to catch up.

How was that crooked? Politicians can accuse each other of anything up to treason or cannibalism, and they're the ones who suffer if the accusation is shown to be without merit.

Plus, "Russia collusion" wasn't entirely without merit. It would actually be negligent NOT to investigate Trump when so many of his staff were guilty.

the democrats will forever be the biggest threats to our nation. For no reason in the world should anyone ever believe a thing they claim. Adam Schiff got just a taste of what that pos should be getting but let's hope more is coming for that slime ball and for the Biden family, Hillary, Comey, McGabe and a host of others liars and corrupt aholes.

It's like you're admitting that Republicans have fabricated their own hoax. Gee such a shame you didn't get Biden before he got executive immunity. Now you'll have to wait, and NO ONE will be surprised if "lock him up" gets quietly dropped once the political basis for it no longer applies.

You could have had Hillary Clinton, but Trump's DOJ showed no interest in that because she had already lost.

Or we could make the minimum age 75 and let mother nature take care of "terms" :p

It wasn't "collusion". Considering it happened post Crimea seizure and invasion of East Ukraine followed by invasion of all Ukraine, it has a decidedly treasonous odor.



"..In the United States, he became a person of interest in multiple investigations regarding Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, particularly due to his ties with Paul Manafort, an American political consultant, who was a campaign chairman for Donald Trump.

Kilimnik was reported by CNN, The New York Times and The Atlantic to be "Person A" listed in court documents filed by the Special Counsel against Manafort. He is also believed to be Person A in court documents filed in the criminal indictment of Alex van der Zwaan. The April 2019 Mueller Report concluded Kilimnik was connected to Russian intelligence agencies, while the August 2020 final report on 2016 election interference from the Senate Intelligence Committee characterized him as a "Russian intelligence officer".[3] In 2017, Kilimnik denied having ties to Russian intelligence agencies.[4] Kilimnik was indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's grand jury on 8 June 2018 on charges of obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice by attempting to tamper with a witness on behalf of Manafort.

United States intelligence community analysis released in March 2021 accused Kilimnik of being one of the proxies of Russian intelligence who promoted and laundered misleading or unsubstantiated narratives about Joe Biden "to US media organizations, US officials, and prominent US individuals, including some close to former President Trump and his administration" to benefit the 2020 Trump presidential campaign. In April 2021, the US Treasury Department sanctioned Kilimnik for providing Russian intelligence with "sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy" provided to him by Manafort from the Trump campaign, and for promoting the false narrative that Ukraine, rather than Russia, had interfered in the 2016 election.....|

continued from last post,

"..Connection to the Trump campaign​

Through numerous regular email exchanges, Kilimnik conferred with Manafort after Manafort became Donald Trump's campaign manager in April 2016 and requested that Manafort give "private briefings" about the Trump campaign to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire and close ally to Vladimir Putin. On 2 August 2016, Kilimnik met with Manafort and Rick Gates at the Grand Havana Room at 666 Fifth Avenue. The encounter which, according to prosecutor Andrew Weissmann goes “very much to the heart of what the special counsel’s office is investigating,” included a handoff by Manafort of internal polling data from Trump's presidential campaign to Kilimnik. Gates later testified the three left the premises separately, each using different exits.

According to Mueller's court filings, Kilimnik was still working with Russian intelligence when, during September and October 2016, he was known to be communicating with the Trump campaign. Both Rick Gates and Paul Manafort were in contact with him at the time.
...
In a 2018 classified State Department assessment, Ukraine's former Prosecutor General Yuri Lutsenko allowed Kilimnik to escape from Ukraine to Russia after the US federal grand jury charged Kilimnik with obstruction of justice. The New York Times reported on 31 August 2018 that an unnamed Russian political operative and a Ukrainian businessman had illegally purchased four tickets to the inauguration of Donald Trump on behalf of Kilimnik. The tickets, valued at $50,000, were purchased with funds that had flowed through a Cypriot bank account. The transaction was facilitated by Sam Patten, an American lobbyist who had related work with Paul Manafort and pleaded guilty to failing to register as a foreign agent. Kilimnik attended Trump's inauguration.

In January 2019, Manafort's lawyers submitted a filing to the court, in response to the Special Counsel's accusation that he had lied to investigators while supposedly co-operating with them. Through an error in redacting, the document accidentally revealed that while he was campaign chairman, Manafort met with Kilimnik, gave him polling data related to the 2016 campaign, and discussed a Ukrainian peace plan with him. ... Manafort asked Kilimnik to pass the data to Ukrainians Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov. Manafort also asked Kilimnik to pass polling data to Oleg Deripaska who is close to Putin.

Kilimnik, Andrii Derkach, who is a member of the Russian intelligence community and very close to Rudy Giuliani, and Andrii Telizhenko, who is part of "Derkach's inner circle"and a close associate of Rudy Giuliani, supported Michael Caputo, who was producer, and Sergey Petrushin, who is a Russian co-producer that lives in Miami and a close associate of Caputo for over 25 years, making the documentary film The Ukraine Hoax: Impeachment, Biden Cash, and Mass Murder with guest host Michael Caputo which aired on the OANN on 21 January 2020 only two weeks before the Senate's acquittal of Donald Trump after his first impeachment trial."

Or that while there is massive corruption and weaponization of government from the Right right under the noses of House GOP committees, one of them named the Weaponization of Government subcommittee, they won't get a single moments notice in those oversight committees.
