[Ferrets are Cool]

1. Wow!!!

[blueinredohio]

2. Lock her up!

[Irish_Dem]

3. If I had done that the FBI would be talking to me and I would be under arrest?

Of course I am not married to someone important.

[William769]

58. Neither is Mrs. Clarence Thomas

[Irish_Dem]

59. Cracked me up. !!

[William769]

60. Back atcha

[DonaldsRump]

4. I hope they do investigate this.

[madaboutharry]

5. This is disgusting.

How she has gotten away with her political activities for so long givien that she is married to a SC Justice is outrageous. It is such a conflict.

She needs to be investigated for this.

[MustLoveBeagles]

53. +1

[spinbaby]

6. Free rides were advertised on Facebook in the Pittsburgh area

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214796285

There was no indication of who was paying for this.

[soothsayer]

7. Despicable

[RockRaven]

8. Seditious Conspiracy.

Fuck it. Impeach *him* for being a co-conspirator.

[SheltieLover]

12. This!👆

[Bluethroughu]

47. Time to resign

Enough with this traitorous bullshit.

[JDC]

9. She has pushed the envelope for a while. Time to pay the piper

[pnwest]

10. wwoooooowwww. That is gobsmackingly stupid.

i keep saying i can't be shocked any more, and i just keep being shocked. That is unbelievable.

[njhoneybadger]

11. Clarence Thomas must be removed from the Supreme Court.

[SheltieLover]

15. As soon as Joe is sworn in!

[SCantiGOP]

63. That would require 17 GOP Senators

to vote for his impeachment.

[njhoneybadger]

67. That ain't going to happen

[Dream Girl]

70. You never know.

Georgia could elect tow democratic senators, one black and one Jewish.

[questionseverything]

77. Never is a long damn time

“We the people “ can do anything we want once we decide on doing it together

[MagickMuffin]

13. I think her and her Supreme Court husband Clarence Thomas be investigated

Clarence already interfered in one election and now his wife is involved in another. He needs to step down.

[BlueIdaho]

14. Seems disqualifying for a Supreme Court Judge

To have your wife actively participating in a violent overthrow of the government.

[SheltieLover]

17. One would think so!

Lock them both up!

[Kablooie]

48. She's Republican so it's perfectly acceptable.

That's the double standard we live with today.

[BlueIdaho]

49. I know - she's a well known backer of Anti-American violence.

[Dream Girl]

71. No more! We have to stop putting up with this shit!

[SCantiGOP]

65. SCOTUS has no conflict of interest rules

They are self-policing.
This wasn’t a problem for the first 200+ years of the Republic, until the Tea Party replaced the Republican Party.

[Sanity Claws]

16. Accessory to a crime

[SheltieLover]

20. Coconspirator!

Charge her with cop's murder, too!

[southerncrone]

18. So....she's supporting racists w/Confederate flags while her African-American husband

sits on the Supreme Court. The first African-American to be confirmed to that court.

We always knew he was stupid, but this is concrete proof.

[ornotna]

33. Thurgood Marshall was the first

On August 30, 1967, Thurgood Marshall becomes the first African American to be confirmed as a Supreme Court justice.

[southerncrone]

35. You are so correct. I remember the big deal then that Thomas was the 1st REPUBLICAN-appointed SCJ.

My apologies to Thurgood, whom I highly respect. He was definitely one of the best.

[a kennedy]

19. THIS HAS TO HAVE SOME CONSEQUENCES DOESN'T IT???? I mean really??

She’s The wife of a Supreme Court Justice.......this has got to have consequences right???

[smirkymonkey]

21. It just gets worse by the minute.

And by "worse", I mean "the unbelievable amount of republican, right-wing corruption and evil ever attempted in the history of this nation."

[BlueNProud]

22. This woman has always struck me as a nutter.

[exboyfil]

23. Can Congress force him to testify

At a minimum he must explain how his relationship with his wife doesn't impact his objectivity as a judge.

I am figuring that the SC would rule that he isn't compelled to testify.

I am a little uneasy about blaming a someone for the actions of his or her spouse.


Her on the other hand definitely needs to be called (assuming the DoJ doesn't get to her first).

[Retrograde]

51. Congress can impeach Supreme Court justices

I always thought they should have impeached Scalia, but his protege will do.

[KayF]

24. does this story seem thin to anyone else?

what I see is a tweet linking to an article which is just a collection of tweets.

[LeftInTX]

61. Does to me

It would probably be illegal for Clarence Thomas to pay for busses, hence if his wife paid, it would mean that he is paying. However, she is allowed to have her own mouth piece. She does have to be careful though.

I see no evidence that she paid for 70 buses.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/01/ginni-thomas-donald-trump-clarence-thomas-capitol-riot.html

[msfiddlestix]

79. I feel like it was just last week where I came across an article referencing

a pac that she and Clarence created which would be intended to support the stop the steal effort.

a photograph of her and Clarence with a great big smile on his face, officiating the pac.

I do not recall the source article. I skimmed through it quickly and was more focused on the Georgia election.

[Kingofalldems]

25. Felony murder.

[asiliveandbreathe]

26. If true, her ASS is grassed..there is NO excuse..NONE..ZIP, NADA,ZERO

I am so grateful to ALL who have captured in pictures, this disgusting attempt to take down our democracy..

May they all have their day in court, because that is what we do..then, put in cages - put on a boat to nowhere...shower by hose, eat by trough, use a bucket to relieve themselves...the only time let out of their cages, is to collect the feces buckets..rotate the responsibility..

Let them be guided by GPS if possible..I hear the Persian Gulf is a nice place to float around..or Cape Horn - may the tides carry them to their final destination...

[TheCowsCameHome]

27. Good.

Rolling super-spreader bins.

[IcyPeas]

28. it's just abhorrent what these deplorables get a pass on

[mackdaddy]

29. So did they ride the busses she paid for back home After the Murder Riot?

Seems also nice of her. Im sure they were very tired after their eventful day....

[Me.]

30. Can She Be Charged?

I hope this story goes viral

[rzemanfl]

31. Whos is this Maggie Belize? n/t

[ornotna]

34. Who are Newsone?

https://newsone.com/4074553/ginni-thomas-supports-violent-extremists-who-stormed-the-capitol/


That's where she got it.

[rzemanfl]

36. Thanks. I will wait for a more reliable source. n/t

[Celerity]

38. Urban One's online news site

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_One

Urban One, Inc. (formerly Radio One) is a Silver Spring, Maryland-based American media conglomerate. Founded in 1980 by Cathy Hughes, the company primarily operates media properties targeting African Americans. It is the largest African-American-owned broadcasting company in the United States, operating 55 radio stations and majority-owning the syndicator Reach Media, as well as its digital arm Interactive One, and the cable network TV One.

As of 2014, it was the ninth-highest-earning African-American-owned business in the United States.

[ornotna]

42. Thanks for the info

[TheFarseer]

32. Are we sure?

This sounds like the kind of thing they would make up about George Soros. I need to see proof.

[JHB]

37. Verification is needed, but Ginni is a RW activist and lobbyist, so coordinating busses...

...to bring in bodies for a display of numbers is definitely within her wheelhouse.

It's not "Wooga Booga Soros" stuff, it's more like the "'they' arranged for buses" to 2009 Tea Party rallies without identifying who 'they" were (eventual answer: Koch-funded astroturf orgs) stuff.

[TimeToGo]

39. Tweet has been deleted

[lettucebe]

40. Was this verified?

[rbnyc]

80. That's the question!

I can't find a good source on this.

It's believable, but we can't react to rumor. There is enough verifiable stuff to focus on.

[Danascot]

41. New show this season!

Celebrity Accomplice!

[zentrum]

43. The tweet link is has been removed

…from twitter.

Don't know how, who, or why, but it's gone.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

44. What the hell? So many cockroaches among the CONservatives.

[dchill]

45. She sure is ugly. I have no idea what she looks like.

[Bluethroughu]

46. Resign traitor

Sedition everywhere.

[bucolic_frolic]

50. So the organization does get its funding from somewhere

I thought they were all successful business owners with leisure time to burn

[dhol82]

52. They might have taken it down. Shows up as unavailable.

[timms139]

54. Now I know

why he was hitting on Anita Hill.

[Susan Calvin]

55. Tweet unavailable?

Although I have no particular reason to doubt it.

[housecat]

56. Unfortunately Biden voted for Thomas

[farmbo]

57. Not true. Biden voted against Clarence Thomas

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjH8eX9-I3uAhUYHs0KHX6fBAIQFjAAegQIBRAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.senate.gov%2Flegislative%2FLIS%2Froll_call_lists%2Froll_call_vote_cfm.cfm%3Fcongress%3D102%26session%3D1%26vote%3D00220&usg=AOvVaw3cxzTkq5cr4j768F0Mr7Eq

[housecat]

81. glad to stand corrected. thanks

[LeftInTX]

62. It wouldn't matter..Thomas has been against Democrats since forever and this was 30 years ago.

[JoeOtterbein]

66. The link is not working. nt

[Aussie105]

68. Come to Washington!

It will be fun, they said.

Buses laid on, free trip to town, they said.

Overthrow the Gubbiment, the Biden Gubbiment, they said.

Storm the Capitol Building, they said.

Capture all of the Democrat ring leaders and make them cry, they said.

It's going to be fun, they said.

Bring your guns and ammo, Democrat rules don't apply to us, they said.

Once the Capitol Building falls, the rest of the Biden Gubbiment will crumble and Trump will be President forever, they said.

There will be no repercussions they said, so go home after and bask in the glory of having been a Child of the Revolution.
Something to tell your grandchildren, they said.

But . . . what is that pink slip in my letter box, and why did those black SUVs just park in front of my house?

Cleanup Squad to Aisle USA, big clean up job happening, bring a big broom!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

69. Looks like the tweet has been removed.

If the story is true then she should be charged with aiding and abetting insurrection.

[dlk]

72. Thomas needs to step down or be impeached

He can’t pretend impartiality any longer. His wife funded sedition, rioting and looting. She should be charged for aiding and abetting.

[Aussie105]

73. I'm hoping

that the Proud (Incel) boys, Q-anon followers, foreign agitators and all other groups present at the Capitol Building invasion have burnt out their highly inappropriate rage, and given up.

That there will be no repeat of this mindless violence.

But with Insane Trump issuing orders, and still too many days to go, who knows?

I'm glad no civilian opposition was present at the invasion. At least Trump can't say 'There are good people on both sides.'
Because the good people were sensible enough to stay away.

[BrightKnight]

74. I can't wrap my head around Thomas.

I don’t get what makes him tick. What is he actually fighting for?

[Ilsa]

75. This will make it easier to get Clarence Thomas to resign from SCOTUS. nt

[58Sunliner]

76. Links are missing now. The March to Save America paid for buses-

and that was funded by Stop the Steal, The Rule of Law Defense Fund (RLDF) of RAGA, Tea Party Patriots and Turning Point Action. The website has been taken down. Ginni is supposedly associated with one of the groups.

[msfiddlestix]

78. Why am I not surprised.

That's another expulsion required. Yes her husband was in on it, aided and abetted in overthrowing the United States Government by an act of war by domestic terrorists. Yeppers. Clarence Thomas needs to be expelled if he refuses to resign.
