Clarence Thomas has struck again.
To his impressive list of recent supreme court victories – abolishing the right to an abortion, eradicating affirmative action, undermining federal regulations, and more – the ultraconservative justice can now add thwarting the criminal prosecution of Donald Trump for hoarding classified documents.
On Monday, Judge Aileen Cannon astonished the judicial world by dismissing the case. She did so based on a widely discredited legal argument that the special counsel who brought the prosecution, Jack Smith, had been improperly appointed.
The argument, initially aired by the former US president’s lawyers, had received scant support in judicial circles, given that stretching back a quarter of a century it has been repeatedly rejected by the courts. But there was one jurist who encouraged Cannon to pursue such contrarian thinking: Thomas.
Reminder: Both Donald and his dad Fred had policies for their slums that would have quietly denied people that look like Thomas from even renting one of their apartments.
Their employees were instructed to put a little “C” for “Colored” on their rental applications for efficient denial on the basis of race.
Yet another example that the class war presides over all the other culture wars we are encouraged to beat one another to death over to stop us from engaging our owners.
Class war is upon you, whether you would acknowledge it or play pretend its the homeless people down the street’s fault like the owners want you to.
Honestly most surprised it was a “C” and not a “N”.
“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”

He wasn’t attempting to raise awareness of the issue as evidenced by his disowning his granddaughter when she did try to raise awareness of the issue by being interviewed for the documentary The 1% by one of the Johnson kids.
They won’t allow us to regulate them, and have each killed hundreds of millions of us so far. I believe the phrase is believe someone when they tell you who they are, these people are unrepentant murderers, thieves, and environmental terrorists at an unprecedented level. They woke up and chose violence, we can only choose self defense at this point.
