Clarence Thomas is a bastard

[basilosaurus]

Yes, we all know this.

Behind the Bastards podcast is doing a series on him. Usually their targets are 2 and done. This is gonna be 4. So even if you're not a podcast listener generally, check it out. 

In recent memory only Henry Kissinger got more than 2 (he got 6!) so a 4 part is special. 

I'm not quite done with ep 2, and my jaw was agape often at how his views are so far from his background.

A+ title
I’ll check out the podcast

[StrawberryBlondie]

I freaking love this podcast.

Also, I thought I knew a fair amount about Justice Thomas and there was so much in the first two episodes I didn't know.

[ESF]

I had never heard of this podcast, but listened to both of the episodes that are out right now last night.

BANANAS

The first episode was interesting and dark, I could not believe what I was hearing by the time I got to the second episode.

I am just floored.

[Velar Fricative]

Yay, Part 3 is out today!

I knew he grew up really really poor, but I did not actually realize just how poor until listening to this.

What angers me is that he must realize he had some fortunate opportunities as a kid despite so many obstacles because he was male. But then look at what his beliefs are. And omg to the parts about what he enjoys viewing (not sure if I can share spoilers).

For some reason, I knew about that last part.

Had absolutely no idea he grew up poor.

I particularly enjoyed the part about his foray into black nationalism.

I must be An Old, because that was brought up during the confirmation hearings and was part of the media frenzy.

Chris Rock as Long Dong Silver is probably the second or third thing I think about when I hear Clarence Thomas (right after “that fucking guy”).

I’m an old, but I confess I didn’t pay very much attention at the time because I was in high school and hadn’t yet found an interest in politics and current events.

Have you listened to the third episode yet?

He does other things with the porn beyond just watching it and talking about it.

SPOILER: Click to show

like displaying it as one might display a book….


… or a picture….


…or wallpaper.

So…. This is dumbass glee that is actually very sad. I’ve also been drinking. Sorry.

The dumbass mix between Reaganism and Danforth, a LITERAL FAMILY NAME OF A SALEM WITCH TRIAL JUDGE. It’s just… the snl sketch writes itself.


And the sex just makes it better/worst.
