Clever of him to make most people’s lives miserable so he doesn’t miss any liberals.
Even made himself miserable just in case he's secretly a lib.
Citizens v United bitch. You fucked America and deserve to rot in hell.
Yeah it got nasty WHEN CLARENCE THOMAS PUT HIS OWN PUBIC HAIR ON A COKE CAN. True story. Look it up. I still believe Anita Hill
What the media did to Anita Hill was absolutely horrendous and every outlet and personality who made a punch line out of her back then should apologize for their absolute disrespect of a woman who did something that was beyond brave.
His mocking her, along with all the Monica Lewinsky jokes, is a big reason why Jay Leno can go get fucked.
It's not just a story, it's a gag he has done multiple times. There's at least two coworkers in another era of his life who claimed he pulled the same prank (or whatever you call that)
That's rich coming from him.
Be careful saying rich around him. You may make a friend.
John Oliver says he's willing to put his offer back on the table, Clarence.
Aw, poor sugar baby Clarence doesn’t like when people call out his blatant abuse of power for personal gain? I guess you should just do the country a favor and fucking retire.
I hope Clarence dies soon.
Honestly, I don't think anything short of an Eagle Eye situation would make much of a difference.
For those that haven't seen the movie, a DOD super advanced AI reinterprets it's core directive to uphold the constitution to mean that the entire Judicial, Legislative, and Executive Branches of the United States Government must be "removed from office" due to corruption with only the exception of the designated survivor.
Good news Thomas, you can resign and leave!
Maybe it’s because he’s such an awful awful person that everyone is just so mean to him and his awful awful wife.
It is genuinely amazing the lengths this man will go to deny his level of impropriety as if it's some grand conspiracy and not heavily documented; I am happy others are open to making his existence as miserable as he makes ours.
Oh no! People are being mean to the human equivalent of an unwiped asshole covered in weeping pus sores?
Clarence Thomas is an evil man, He sent his nephew to one of those teen punishment schools in Georgia called Hidden Lake Academy.
I like to link this everywhere one of those places get mentioned. It rattled me.
He is welcome to leave at anytime, no one is forcing him to be there
There certainly are some nasty people out there. Like ones who tell inappropriate sexual anecdotes in professional settings throughout their career.
Die mad about it.
I'd consider an all out assault on women's rights pretty fucking nasty
You could always resign!
There's even a cushy RV waiting for him.
Welp, John Oliver had a time limit in that. Let’s hope that John (and HBO or whatever) is/are still feeling generous.
Fuck off and die?
If it's such a nasty place, he's free to step down and leave 🤷♂️
Name one nasty lie you sack of shit.
Take the million a year and the motor coach.
Aww, did we hurt his widdle feewings?
You know what’s nastier? Taking the right to abortion away from women. But I am sure if a woman from the ruling class got pregnant for some reason, then she’ll just a hush hush abortion like in the good old days.
Ah yes, openly corrupt Clarance Thomas is here to tell us he's being treated unfairly. Dude takes bribes from everyone, and uses the constitution as toilet paper.
I am sure if I sold out my fellow man on a daily basis for cry baby republicans, I'd hate my job too.
Sucks to suck, bitch!
Corrupt Clarence Thomas who accepts bribes and doesn't recuse himself from ruling on the insurrection efforts his wife took part in thinks DC is too mean.
Clarence Thomas proves that progress isn’t linear nor guaranteed. What a let down after Thurgood Marshall.
Resign you creepy asshole.
Judging by the title alone, it sounds like the critics are pushing him.
Aww...
Life was so much more easier when Clarence could commit acts of corruption without being called out.
