Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas hangs out on a billionaire's yacht and frequents his private resort, according to a ProPublica investigation.

ProPublica reports that Thomas spends a week every summer at Crow’s 100-plus acre private, invitation-only resort in the Adirondacks, where he hobnobs with other Republican power players. There’s even a painting of said hobnobbing hanging in the resort, depicting Thomas smoking a cigar next to Crow and a few others, including lawyer and activist Leonard Leo of The Federalist Society.

Thomas’ history of vacationing with billionaires runs counter to the image he’s portrayed publicly, ProPublica notes, which is that of a man of the people. “I prefer the RV parks. I prefer the Walmart parking lots to the beaches and things like that,” he once said. “There’s something normal to me about it,” Thomas said. “I come from regular stock, and I prefer that — I prefer being around that.”

The only thing that separates free functioning countries from the N Korea/russias fascist countries of the world is the amount of CORRUPTION we allow. The US has GOT to write a whole new slew of anti corruption laws or we are quickly going down the toilet.

Lock him up lock him up !

All SCT justices should be required to comply with same code of ethics as attorneys—this problem would be solved. A bipartisan commission of attorneys could be established for reviewing SCT ethical violations.

Cool, now do Clinton's 20 plus flights to Pedo island with Epstein..

This is corruption.

Lucky guy

I abhor Clarence Thomas but 'hangs out'? Makes him sound like a 20-something College drop out.

Hit job...If you want to objective you can do both sides otherwise you have no credibility...people are not dumb...America has politicized their justice system...perverse...that can't end well...

Him and Ms piggy should be in prison.

Thomas is the absolute worst Supreme Court Justice ever. Bought & paid for by the Heritage Foundation, he is a sexual predator, & a puppet to his wife's far right wing designs & agenda. There is no longer a non-partisan court. The SCOTUS rule of law has become a joke.

will karma find clarence thomas too? he lied to get his position on the supreme court in the first place.🤬😵‍💫 well. lied more than once.😳

A poor man's Obama you might say...

Pay to play.

Never had any business being appointed in the first damned place. Come on hypertension and diabetes

Rare photo of Thomas's hands not in someone's pockets.
