   "He's Trump's personal House Nigger"   
      
   Bribe taking nigger and sex offender Clarence Thomas has faced numerous   
   allegations of corruption, particularly regarding undisclosed gifts and   
   financial ties to wealthy conservative donors, which have raised concerns   
   about his impartiality and integrity on the Supreme Court. Calls for his   
   resignation have intensified as evidence suggests a pattern of quid pro quo   
   relationships that undermine public trust in the judiciary.   
      
   The nigger hates America.   
      
   Ginni Thomas Conservative Activism: Thomas’ wife, Ginni Thomas, is a right-   
   wing activist, which has raised considerable ethics concerns about overlap   
   between her and her husband’s work—particularly as the New Yorker reported   
   groups she’s been involved with have submitted briefs before the Supreme   
   Court, including a group that has weighed in on the court’s pending case   
   about affirmative action in university admissions.   
      
   Ginni Thomas Court Reform Opposition: ProPublica reported Thomas’ wife   
   praised religious liberty-focused group First Liberty Institute after it   
   vocally opposed President Joe Biden’s proposals for Supreme Court   
   reforms—including a binding code of ethics—writing in an email to the   
   group’s president that “YOU GUYS HAVE FILLED THE SAILS OF MANY JUDGES ...   
   THANK YOU SO, SO, SO MUCH.”   
      
   Harlan Crow Trips: ProPublica first reported in 2023 that Thomas had for   
   years accepted trips from GOP megadonor and developer Harlan Crow,   
   including on his private jet and superyacht, without disclosing them on   
   financial disclosures as federal law requires.   
      
   Senate Findings On Harlan Crow: Though Thomas has now started disclosing   
   some of his trips with Crow on his financial disclosure forms, claiming he   
   was not previously obligated to report them, the Senate Judiciary Committee   
   and now the Senate Finance Committee have uncovered additional undisclosed   
   travel as part of investigations into Thomas—including spending time with   
   Crow in Russia—and Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the Finance Committee chair,   
   alleged in August Crow is improperly claiming his yacht as a for-profit   
   business in order to avoid paying taxes on it.   
      
   Harlan Crow Tuition: ProPublica reported in May 2023 Crow also paid two   
   years of tuition for Thomas’ grandnephew Mark Martin, whom the justice has   
   custody of, to attend two private schools in the 2000s, which cost $6,000   
   per month at one of the schools and were similarly not disclosed—even as   
   Thomas did disclose a tuition payment a different friend made years   
   earlier.   
      
   Harlan Crow Real Estate: Thomas and his family also sold a string of   
   properties in Savannah, Georgia, to Crow in 2014 without disclosing that as   
   required, ProPublica reports—including the home where his mother still   
   lives—which Crow told the publication he purchased so he could eventually   
   build a museum dedicated to the justice.   
      
   RV Loan Forgiven: Thomas never repaid a “substantial portion” of a $267,230   
   loan from wealthy friend Anthony Welters, which he used to purchase a   
   luxury RV, a Senate Finance Committee investigation found, raising   
   questions about whether the loan was properly reported on his taxes. If   
   Thomas never paid the principal on the loan, it would have created a   
   “significant amount of taxable income,” the committee noted, which wasn’t   
   reported on his financial disclosure to the court in 2008, the year Welker   
   said the loan was “satisfied.”   
      
   Koch Network Summits: Thomas attended at least two donor summits for the   
   Koch network—the right-wing political organization founded by billionaire   
   brothers Charles and David Koch—and participated in a dinner with high-   
   level donors, without disclosing his appearance at the summits or a private   
   jet trip he took to and from the event in 2018, ProPublica reported in   
   September.   
      
   Koch Brothers: ProPublica also reported Thomas cultivated a relationship   
   with the two Koch brothers (David died in 2019) through repeated trips to   
   the Bohemian Grove, a private retreat for wealthy men; the report noted the   
   Koch network has brought cases before the Supreme Court, including having   
   staff attorneys represent the plaintiffs in an upcoming case this term.   
      
   Sokol, Huizenga and Novelly Gifts: ProPublica reported that during his   
   tenure on the Supreme Court, Thomas has accepted gifts including at least   
   38 “destination vacations,” 26 private jet flights, VIP sports passes,   
   helicopter flights, private resorts stay and a “standing invitation” for a   
   private golf club—which ProPublica noted was “almost certainly an   
   undercount”—particularly from former Berkshire Hathaway executive David   
   Sokol, late billionaire H. Wayne Huizenga and Apex Oil CEO Paul “Tony”   
   Novelly, none of which were disclosed on Thomas’ federal disclosure forms.   
      
   Horatio Alger Association: ProPublica’s reporting built off a previous New   
   York Times report that Thomas—a longtime member of the Horatio Alger   
   Association, which was created to “dispel the mounting belief ... that the   
   American dream was no longer attainable”—has for years accepted gifts from   
   a “[broad] cohort of wealthy and powerful friends” who belong to the group,   
   including people with business before the Supreme Court, receiving such   
   benefits as luxury trips and a Super Bowl ring.   
      
   Ginni Thomas Leonard Leo: Leo, a conservative judicial activist who’s spent   
   billions on efforts to reshape the federal courts, including the Supreme   
   Court, told then-conservative pollster Kellyanne Conway to give Ginni   
   Thomas “another $25k” through a nonprofit group he advises—which then filed   
   a brief with the Supreme Court—but conceal that the payment was for her,   
   the Post reports, telling Conway, “No mention of Ginni, of course.”   
      
   Ginni Thomas 2020 Election: Thomas pushed efforts to overturn the 2020   
   election results as her husband was hearing cases on it, including sending   
   text messages to then White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, which fueled   
   calls for Thomas to resign or face impeachment over the perceived conflict   
   of interest.   
      
   January 6: Ginni Thomas has also confirmed she briefly attended the rally   
   on January 6 that preceded the attack on the Capitol building and publicly   
   criticized the House January 6 Committee, and the justice has come under   
   fire for failing to recuse himself in a case concerning former President   
   Donald Trump’s records being turned over to the committee—in which he was   
   the only justice to dissent and believe the records should have been   
   withheld.   
      
   Ginni Thomas Funding: The Post reported in March that a conservative group   
   Ginni Thomas formed in 2019 had raised nearly $600,000 from anonymous   
   donors funneled through a right-wing think tank that filed an amicus brief   
   at the Supreme Court during the same time, and ethics experts said Clarence
