David Corn tweets about how this Ginni Thomas bullshit didn't just happen overnight...

@DavidCornDC

Seven years ago, I revealed how Ginni Thomas was running a secretive right-wing group called Groundswell that was mounting a "a 30 front war" against the Obama administration & Democrats "to fundamentally transform the nation."

NYT confirms: Ginni Thomas, the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, has targeted officials at the National Security Council, the former head of the White House personnel office and other top White House aides for replacement for not being conservative enough.

I just have to ask, has Ginni Thomas gotten away from scrutiny because she's a woman? I do believe someone in the Republican party once said that blonde women could say things that men could not. I think this was in reference to something that Ann Coulter once said.

What is wrong with these people? It is, imo, some form of a sickness when you want to shut out all those who may have an idea or opinion that differs from your own. What kind of world do these people want to live in? Society can not function properly when one group seeks ultimate power and have come to believe that they are the only ones who could possibly be right and everyone else is wrong and needs to be dismissed, literally and figuratively.

early on a Saturday morning, demanding an "apology" for Hill's having spoken the truth about Ginni's pervert husband.

https://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/20/us/politics/20thomas.html

..."Ms. Hill, in an interview, said she had kept the message for nearly a week trying to decide whether the caller really was Ms. Thomas or a prankster. Unsure, she said, she decided to turn it over to the Brandeis campus police with a request to convey it the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“I thought it was certainly inappropriate,” Ms. Hill said. “It came in at 7:30 a.m. on my office phone from somebody I didn’t know, and she is asking for an apology. It was not invited. There was no background for it.”

We now know that the Supreme Court is being manipulated and by an extension an arm of continuing destruction of our Nation’s security and laws.

I am at a loss of words but can only say the following: If Trump is not defeated and we can’t keep the House and regain the Senate and there is a nominee that would lose Florida, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, then it’s game over and our Republic and Constitution dead.

Oh yeah - and here comes Coronavirus Covid-19 and do you feel certain that we are prepared?
