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.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told his law clerks in the ‘90s that he wanted to serve for 43 years to make liberals’ lives ‘miserable’
Clever of him to make most people’s lives miserable so he doesn’t miss any liberals.
Even made himself miserable just in case he’s secretly a lib.
That’s rich coming from him.
Be careful saying rich around him. You may make a friend.
If it’s such a nasty place, he’s free to step down and leave 🤷♂️
Citizens v United bitch. You fucked American and deserve to rot in hell.
A little Bush v Gore thing too, if we’re piling on.
That was a coup and Americans should have rioted.
Please politely accept my stripping your rights away. - Thomas
Poor guy, he should just quit.
His wife won’t let him. He’s gotta play the part of an owned man.
I hope Clarence dies soon.
Honestly, I don’t think anything short of an Eagle Eye situation would make much of a difference.
For those that haven’t seen the movie, a DOD super advanced AI reinterprets it’s core directive to uphold the constitution to mean that the entire Judicial, Legislative, and Executive Branches of the United States Government must be “removed from office” due to corruption with only the exception of the designated survivor.
Thanks for the movie review. It’s now on my to-watch list. :)
Resign you creepy asshole.
Ah yes, openly corrupt Clarance Thomas is here to tell us he’s being treated unfairly. Dude takes bribes from everyone, and uses the constitution as toilet paper.
A moss piglet playing the world’s tiniest violin might just be the best thing I’ve seen on the internet ever.
That’s a cello.
gee if you hate it so much how’bout you fucking LEAVE, CLARENCE.
He and every other corrupt and loathsome creature festering in the GOP’s worst cesspool love to claim they are being treated unfairly when enough people call them out.
They’re all victims, despite being predatory pieces of shit that ruin lives with their bought-and-sold policy decisions.
god i love the way you wrote that. speaking my fucking language right there.
you’re absolutely right, and this is yet another instance of those scumbags projecting.
They pearl-clutch and wring their hands while whinging about being victims because they want US to be their victims.
Every time a conservative bootlicker chudsimp accuses anyone of anything, it’s not-so-secretly a confession.
Clarence Thomas likes to do this funny joke where he takes a sip of his drink and says “Did someone put a pube in here?” He also has and openly talks about a porn addiction.
Sadly sexual harasment is hidden amongst his contribution to the destructuon and skull fucking of democracy.
John Oliver says he’s willing to put his offer back on the table, Clarence.
You know what’s nastier? Taking the right to abortion away from women. But I am sure if a woman from the ruling class got pregnant for some reason, then she’ll just a hush hush abortion like in the good old days.
Republicans love their hush money. Remember when Musk offered that flight attendant a horse? Then, of course, there’s Trump paying a porn star off with campaign funds.
Funny how they keep using funds that aren’t theirs to do all of this.
Anita Hill had a few things to say about Clarence and nastiness
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.
