Tiedrich re: Ginni

look, I may not approve of Ginni Thomas's attempts to subvert an election, but she is the spouse of a Supreme Court justice and I will defend to the death her right to be dragged away in handcuffs, disgraced, tried for her crimes and chucked straight the fuck into prison

I thought Keith kind of had a breakdown and quit or got fired. I hadn't heard that Rachel had anything to do with that.

Keith originally left due to conflicts with the new regime when Comcast took over. It wasn't a breakdown.

You don’t think the big names will cover it?

I bet they would. Dems need to be addressing this instead of sitting quietly.

what we've learned so far...she was at the January 6 rally and supposedly left pre-riot and via Mark Meadows email exchange, she was up to her eyeballs in the plot to overthrow the election...all this in a week and a half...

Fri Mar 25, 2022, 07:09 PM

she's the dominant, he's the submissive, more than likely, with her contacts, and maneuvering behind the scene, she is responsible for Clarence’s ascendency to the USSC..he owes her, as for sending Ginni in his place to the January 6 rally, Clarence isn't stupid, he would want to keep his distance...for Ginni, however, funding the insurrection and her part in denying Biden the presidency, if successful, would have made her something of a legend and a powerhouse with the GOP...I do think she's deranged as is Sidney Powell, Ginni's choice to lead the Trump's legal team…

to make some our voices heard about Clarence and Ginni Thomas, along with some other key players.

A rally to call for justice to seditious people.

Along with hubby Clarence, Moscow Mitch, and Kislyak and Lavrov in 2016. He and Putin probably only held hands.

We've g0t a thing called the first amendment that protects that. She can be as much of a damned fool as she wants, and she's been a damned fool for years.

Now if that story about her providing buses for rioters is ever found to have a grain of truth in it, then we can clap her in irons.

Until then, just hold her up as an object of public scorn. She deserves that but not prison. Not yet.
