A report from The New York Times details yet another luxury obtained by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas using funds from a wealthy associate. In this instance, it’s been revealed that he purchased a Prevost Marathon RV in 1999, using $267,230 received from Anthony Welters, a former executive at UnitedHealthCare who worked alongside Thomas in the Reagan administration, per the outlet. In a statement on the matter, Welters said that the funds were considered a loan and that it has since been “satisfied,” avoiding the phrasing “paid off,” which means it could have been a gift that would have then needed to be disclosed
Reminds me of an episode of Common Sense by Dan Carlin from yeeears ago that basically said “the system is corrupt and voters aren’t able to command our politicians to do what we want, so what if we just pool money together and bribe them too?”
It sounds like you just invented elections.
What sort of bizarre elections are you voting in? I haven’t had the chance to bribe a politician with cash at the ballot box even once!
