Social John Oliver offering Clarence Thomas 1 million a year for life if he steps down.

[Fox by the Sea]

"Well Akshually".... not much of a joke, bro. It just comes off as you being a bitch about @shinkyoku 's response.

Fair enough though, comedy is subjective.

at least quote me if you're going to still be crying about jokes not being factual.

I didn't complain about your post being factual or not, I complained that your "Joke" was not funny, and in fact was pretty disrespectful to the poster that replied to your whiny post with facts.

Get over it.

my original post was the joke, you boob.
jesus, we got a sub 90 IQ over here.
do you need to watch a youtube clip every time you tie your shoelaces?

He has "been" corrupted? Bruh. Watch the piece. He was always corrupt. He was gifted a quarter million dollar RV in the 90s. He was always a piece of shit.

Fair enough. I very rarely watch his show because he’s such a cunt. The only episode I really liked was when he slammed bob murray. I don’t think he really became corrupted until later. All I am saying is that I respected his rulings more years ago.

 

[Whippy McGee]

Yeah, doing comedy bits to dunk on your opposition is "brainless pandering". Your criticism couldn't be more contrived.

Now back to your regularly scheduled, non-pandering programming -

Ahh yes, the old "anyone I disagree with is brainless and pandering" argument instead of making any valid point of substance whatsoever.

A classic maneuver - beautifully executed.

I found a few clowns that actually watch the Orange Man Bad goof. I didn't know of anyone that watched him until now. I'll bet they also get upset if I mock Kimmell or Rachel Maddow.

John I guess knows Clarence loves money an free time to drive his camper. He will now have the cash to charter a private jet without asking someone lol. This happened on the new season of last week I guess?

"John Oliver is offering Clarence Thomas $1 million a year to leave the SCOTUS bench.
The comedian highlighted what he said were Thomas' many conflicts of interest.
"HBO is not putting up the money for this. I am personally on the hook," Oliver said. "

That sounds fucking illegal.

Can you publicly bribe a judge to step down?

"I'm appalled by how unethical you are! Also, please take this bribe from me."

Thats kind of the point.

Another weak comeback. I expect more from you, man.

And no - I hate Kimmel and have never watched Maddow.

Have you bought your $400 golden Trump sneakers yet, Mr. Christian?

Clarence Thomas used to be one of my favorite justices. He was an originalist. I think he has been corrupted by money&greed, which are terrible motivators for a Supreme Court justice. But john oliver is a fucking putz and he needs his snarky ass beat. Not for this, but he is just a smarmy dick

You've turned into a real piece of shit as you've aged. You should reflect on that.

 

[mkess101]

Thats kind of the point.

That he's appalled, but wants to join in on the bribery? Huh.

Oliver isn't asking Thomas to do anything in his official capacity as a SCOTUS judge. Probably why Thomas isn't interested.

 

[Loiosh]

I don’t think it’s a late night talk show? I don’t know, I don’t watch the actual shows on TV.

I know the ones he posts to YouTube get a lot of views. Over a million.

It definitely isn't a talk show.

 

[Loiosh]

Also, despite what gripes conservative might have with him politically, the show is the ONLY one tackling things like the prison industrial complex, military complex, corruption, healthcare, opiod crisis, and the list goes on. These are heavy topics that no other show can manage to spotlight without viewers running away. It's hard to make things like this "sexy" enough for the average person, yet they manage to do it, and mostly well researched too.

The right wing doesn't give a shit about any of those things, or America in general.

he publicly offered a bribe

you can't do that. even with freedom of speech, not all speech is protected. and it's on tape. trust me, he will wind up in court and lose

You want to bet on that?

You want to bet on that?

account bet, yes

 

[AWilder]

account bet, yes

Ok, if no law suit after 60 days I think it's fair to say I win.

And if there is a lawsuit then we'll have to see who wins.

 

[aitkenmike]

it is illegal to bribe a sitting official

I understand there were no pictures, but you are on a text based forum, I figured you could read

Again, you even posted the statute, try reading it now, and finding anywhere within it a definition that matches this offer
