She’s not wrong. Harris is the worst VP. She is completely unqualified for the position and as much as I despise biden…he’s the worst too, I pray that he lives long enough to complete his term. Because if we have harris as prez, we will be royally fucked, even more than we are right now!!! Wh…huh? Ms. Thomas was lobbing the “majority disgusted” accusation at Vice President Pence. Classic case of projection, denial, distraction and deflection. All strategies that she and the Republicans frequently use. But here are the actual qualifications for the VP, all of which VP Harris meets www.factcheck.org/2020/08/kamala-harris-is-eligible-to-serve-as-president/“To serve as president, one must be at least 35 years old, have been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years, and be a ‘natural born Citizen’ (Article II, sec. 1 of the Constitution). Additionally, one cannot have already been president for more than a term and a half (22nd Amendment).”
She's not qualified is similar to the racist birther falsehoods regarding President Obama. And if we're talking worst VPs, I think Aaron Burr, John Breckinridge, (he was forced to flee to escape charges of treason), Nixon, Spiro Agnew, Quayle and Dick Cheney are at the top of the list. |

None of the Ginni Thomas conspiracy texts fall under executive privilege: George Conway Matthew Chapman March 24, 2022 On Thursday, following the explosive new report that the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has obtained text Furthermore, he noted there is no credible way to claim that Thomas' communications with Meadows fall under executive privilege — which Trump's allies have broadly sought to claim as their reason for not cooperating with the committee, even though President Joe Biden has rejected these claims. www.rawstory.com/ginni-thomas-2657034817/ |

What does it take to impeach a SC judge? Regardless, I suggest we all start filling the inboxes and voicemails of our elected officials demanding accountability.
IF GOP picks up a majority at midterms, we already know McConnell will block any SC nominee until after the 2024 election. The sooner Thomas is out, the sooner there is a possibility of picking a more balanced court choice. Higher gas prices or taxes will be the least of our worries if the GOP puts more activist judges on the Supreme Court bench.

What I missed.. and I know I read it and cannot find the right piece with it. I know I reread it several times, so it must have been nagging in my brain... But it didn't register at the time... Post columnist Eugene Robinson pointed to one text where Ginni Thomas tells Meadows that she had discussed election issues with her "best friend," by which both she and her husband have publicly referred to one another, and he asked Woodward how he interpreted that comment. "He has publicly called her his best friend, and so there's an implication there," Woodward said. www.rawstory.com/bob-woodward-theres-an-implication-that-ginni-thomas-discussed-election-conspiracies-with-her-husband/ |

I know that we are backsliding into authoritarianism and continuing to watch a slow-motion coup and all of that while being gaslit into "this was just a few yahoos touring the capitol building," but PLEASE someone solve this mystery for me --
What is up with the thing where these far-right people randomly capitalize Words that don't take Capitalization? It is absolutely driving me off a cliff.

Oh yea, we are sooooo gaslighting when a sitting SCOTUS judge's wife tried to overthrow an election. And there is written photographic proof that she did just that. And that judge is the only one who voted against papers about January 6 being turned over to the court.
Yea, total gaslighting there.
What the actual f*ck has happened to our country when people don't care about shit like this? The same people who were outraged because Obama once wore a tan suit and once got off of Airforce 1 wearing flip flops when his family was on vacation. Those things are worthy of outrage, but this is not???
I wish I could say I'm shocked, but I am not.

The gaslighting here is the idea that attempting to overthrow the elected government and install a dictator is just "political activism."
Like a rally to incite the insurrection are just "political discourse" and people breaking into the Capitol building and erecting a scaffold and noose were just "tourists."

If a bunch of Democrats had invaded the Capitol, destroyed federal property, assaulted police officers, and tried to disrupt certifying election results, Republicans would be screaming at the tops of their lungs. They show a curious lack of interest in finding out the truth of Jan 6th, and are oddly sympathetic to the insurrectionists.
But they have one standard for their party, and one for everyone else.
Ginni Thomas says that she keeps her activities separate from her husband, and despite glaring evidence to the contrary, collective shrugs among Republicans. The woman is almost certainly lying, but she’s one of them, so…

All I have to say is that Justice Thomas knew everything his wife was doing. He can't claim innocent spouse on this one. His dissenting vote tells me he knew her texts might see the light of day.

Daily revolations? Ginni Thomas pushed 'Stop the Steal' plans to Indiana Republican originally nominated to January 6 committeeMatthew Chapman March 25, 2022 On Friday, NBC News reported that, in addition to previous revelations that far-right activist Ginni Thomas was in close contact with White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on overthrowing the 2020 presidential election, she was also in contact with the office of a top House Republican who had been nominated by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to investigate the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. Shortly after the 2020 election, Virginia 'Ginni' Thomas, the conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, sent an email to an aide to a prominent House conservative saying she would have nothing to do with his group until his members go 'out in the streets,' a congressional source familiar with the exchange told NBC News," reported Scott Wong. "Thomas told an aide to incoming Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks, R-Ind., that she was more aligned with the far-right House Freedom Caucus, whose leaders just two months later would lead the fight in Congress to overturn the results of Democrat Joe Biden’s victory." "Thomas wrote to the aide that Freedom Caucus members were tougher than RSC members, were in the fight and had then-President Donald Trump’s back, according to the source familiar with the email contents. Until she saw RSC members 'out in the streets' and in the fight, she said, she would not help the RSC, the largest caucus of conservatives on Capitol Hill," said the report. "Her November 2020 email came in response to a request from the RSC to offer policy recommendations as Banks was set to take the helm of the group in early 2021. But when Thomas portrayed the RSC as soft in its support for Trump and told its members to take to the streets, the aide thanked her for her suggestions and moved on."Banks would ultimately be one of the Republicans McCarthy nominated for the House Select Committee investigating January 6. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) rejected his appointment, along with the appointment of Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH),..... www.rawstory.com/ginni-thomas-texts-2657041415/ |

I've been trying to avoid the news since DH passed away. It's just been too much. I've known about Ginni for years and have been shocked that we've had a Supreme Court Justice (who is a disgusting perv) who has a wife that is FAR out there, supporting Q theories and paying for them. Doesn't seem to stop. I thought that her paying for the buses on 1/6 would have been enough to jail her. STILL waiting for all of these creepy criminals to pay for their huge crimes!

She has denied paying for the busses... Word tonight is that she will not receive a subpoena to testify by the Jan 6 Select Committee. She would be welcome to voluntarily appear though.

And I got dragged about it from my DH's military friends when we were stationed in Pensacola. All social interaction was shut down with them after that. They thought women should deal with sexual harassment to be able to hang with the boys. Prize idiots. |

The Republicans would lose their ever- loving minds if the situation were reversed. This is an interesting opinion in the WaPo on a comparison between the 2 parties www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/03/26/ginn-thomas-texts-meadows/Thomas’s fear of a takeover by the left binds the Republican Party together. Many on the left have similar worries about what Republican control of the government — and especially a return of Trump to the White House — would mean for the country.
What makes the two sides different is how many Republicans who otherwise have broken with Trump on his baseless claims of a stolen election, and who might see Ginni Thomas as having gone off the rails in the weeks after the election, nonetheless say they will vote for Trump if he becomes the party’s 2024 nominee. That, too, sums up the state of the party.
Barr and others like him are cowards when it comes to Trump |

I should have been aware of this, I suppose, but evidently she also runs and maintains the list serve for his former clerks and had to apologize to them for kicking up big political divisions in there advocating for the January 6th insurrection.
In case there is any doubt that her activities and her husband’s activities are not siloed.

Republicans go out of their way to support SCOTUS Thomas... Like the House Judicial Committee GQP members would be honorable?! As legal experts call for Clarence Thomas to recuse himself, House Republicans say 'we need more' like himDavid Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement March 26, 2022 Republicans in the House, some of whom are believed to have some degree of complicity with the efforts to stage a coup on January 6, 2020 are mounting an all-out effort to defend embattled Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas after bombshell reports of his far-right spouse's efforts during the Trump White House to overturn the presidential election. *** .... In response to a tweet from the right-leaning media outlet The Hill that reads "Justice Thomas discharged from hospital, faces mounting ethics scrutiny," Jordan's Judiciary Committee's tweeted, "No, he doesn’t. If there’s anything we need, it’s more people like Justice Thomas."*** The House Republican Judiciary Committee members list reads like a who's who of right-wing congressional extremists. In addition to Jordan, some of the Committee's members include Reps. Louie Gohmert and Chip Roy of Texas, Steve Chabot of Ohio, Ken Buck of Colorado, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Mike Johnson of Louisiana, Arizona's Andy Biggs, the far-right head of the extremist Freedom Caucus, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, and Dan Bishop of North Carolina, among others. www.rawstory.com/as-legal-experts-call-for-clarence-thomas-to-recuse-house-republicans-say-we-need-more-llke-him/ |
