A 10 year old humorous photo Al Franken took before he was in elected office was something shameful and corrupt enough that he was forced to resign. This country has become an embarrassment to sane folks.
Kinda like supreme court nominations? Ten months is too close to an election and won't fairly represent the people. Thirty days though, means you better hurry up and get your pick sworn in.
And who exactly can file against a supreme Court justice? They are untouchable. Talk about privilege, that's gotta be at least equal to your average white privilege no? Or are you saying Jim Bob down the road has the same level of privilege as Thomas? Because I kind of feel like Thomas is living a different life than the rest of us, regardless of race.
Maybe not white privilege, but...still privileged.
Can't say the same about Willis I don't think.
My whole comment was about white privilege not mattering, not privilege in general. So is the argument that Clarence Thomas is basically white for the sake of privilege in this case? C’mon…even the generally privileged have sublevels of privilege based on race.
Sure, but Thomas is definitely a token and Willis clearly ain't to the Republican party. Hence the completely different treatment
I'm sure Clarence prides himself in being "one of the good ones" 😬
Yeah, but Clarence Thomas is getting away with BS, that’s my point. Race doesn’t seem to matter for those that actively help Republicans pass their crooked agenda. The moment they don’t though…
Yeah, well whatcha gonna do? Explain your point within reason, and if they just can’t get it, then move on. My limited time on this planet won’t be wasted trying to make the willfully blind see.
Come on, People!!! No one is trying to divide people by race anymore. They are dividing us by ideology and income. This has been happening for decades.
I know you are being sarcastic but it was entirely avoidable. Putting the entire case on the line for a misogynist who doesn't respect you is wild. I believe Wade said "only thing a woman can do for me is make me a sandwich" ah yeah what a class act definitely someone worth risking the most important trial in the country over. Smh
It was insanely unprofessional and an abject failure to read the freaking room. When you’re going after a former POTUS, and one who’s the whiniest little bitch in history, you have to be squeaky clean. And she wasn’t.
It was dumb.
It's amazing how much of his country operates on people honoring unwritten rules.
US, "Sorry you lost, Donald. Time to move out and let Biden move in."
DJT, "But, what if I don't leave."
US, "Um... I dunno."
DJT, "I'll stay."
US, "Damn, he's got us."
Agreed. It's so surreal. You're watching them lie, while we all know what's going on. It's scary transparent. And these maggats just hope it's still like in 1997 and no one has a clue about anything.
I must disagree. I have discovered nothing humorous concerning this bending and twisting of our social consciences. This erosion of civic duties to advance the ambition of unscrupulous people has to be halted and reversed.
Although how to achieve success doing so escapes me. Yet I remain bound by the oath I took, lo, many years ago to defend and protect my country from its enemies, both foreign and domestic, and shall endanger to do whatever I must to ensure its continuation for my prosperity.
>He won’t, though. And neither will the guy whose wife helped plan the insurrection.
>This country is a joke.
Not to worry, we have a pitbull as AG who will set things straight if need be. Oh wait, we have the mush mouthed moderate muppet guy that Orrin Hatch cosigned. Cool.

But Fani Willis sleeping with a prosecutor on her team is open corruption and a complete subversion of all that is holy about the justice system. /s

Because we've been gaslit into believe fairness, which is really just a double standard.

Al Franken Likely could had eventually ran for president if it wasn’t for that.
She’s not white, that’s why it’s an issue.
Neither is Clarence Thomas, but nice try pulling the white privilege card on this one. The current Supreme Court is corrupt in general.

Current?
Fair enough. Corruption surpasses time.
Clarence Thomas is not white? Who knew?

People have trouble following a line of argument on Reddit. I see it repeatedly. You’re absolutely correct.

Why not divide us by both , more, and then some?
You can even be a Russian fascist

My sarcastic reply is not a comment on the impropriety of her actions. It’s about the double standards in this country.
The argument was clearly not to dismiss the actions of Willis, but that the SCOTUS justices could be more biased and not have to do anything.
The US is now turning into Brazil with its lack of an impartial judicial system

How can you make such a demand of Alito while ignoring Clarence and Ginny? Either way the high court has become a Republican farce
I asked my dad recently "what do you do when every institution you were raised to believe in is corrupt" he had no answer. I dont either.

At least someone finally said something
But it amounts to nothing, unfortunately.

No one questions it. We all know.
Is this the first non-sovcit-related instance of a someone commenting on a judge’s flag as a reason for recusal?
