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.
In favor of the grab em by the pussy guy?
Ideally those things would’ve been raised during the primary so Americans wouldn’t be left with the choice between a conservative and a fascist.

He’s still very conservative. He’s basically a 1970s era Republican.
Deluding yourself into thinking Biden would have made any of the progress he currently has without pressure from the outside is insane. Forgiving student debt, HE wrote the bill making it permanent.
People can change, Biden obviously has, but left to his own devices he is another white male career politician. His only saving grace is he can compromise.
