    Combined with an insurrection-approving spouse it’s beyond shocking that a Supreme Court Justice wouldn’t resign in shame let alone that there’s a public allowing it.

    And of course, an orbit of politicians who are so deep in money themselves that they dare not do their job to save America.

    Awfully cheap for an entire branch of government supposedly insulated from politics.

      Either way the amounts are a total steal for the value they get. Seriously feel like maybe we should just give in and make a Kickstarter platform for bribing politicians ourselves. At least make the billionaires have to outbid us.

        unfortunately, we already collaborate to pay them. It’s called Taxes and a Salary. How much have we already paid thomas? 33 years in the role, around $250k/year avg, we’ve collectively paid him 8.25 million already to NOT be a corrupt piece of shit. Giving him more isn’t the answer.

        I think there are quite a few crowdfunded lobby groups already, but I don’t vouch for any in particular.

    Seriously Clarence Thomas needs to be removed and replaced, compromised individual in such a position of power is a national security threat.
