but according to Doc Jackson, Bragg is probably, what 230 pounds?  Isn't that how he rated Trump when he gave him his physical?

Yep. As we know, that number was a lie. Could you imagine this guy being your doctor?

Pardon me, but I don't know which thread to continue discussing the Clarence Thomas matter in. But is there any potential legal jeopardy facing Thomas for the luxury trips he accepted from the Republic donor or is this an ethical oversight on his part, but not something that rises to the level of illegality?

there is nothing they can do to him for accepting the gifts. I suppose he is a 'federal employee' so failure to disclose was probably some kind of misdemeanor at least - but I just bet there is too much abigiuity about jurisdiction for anyone to bring a case.

He will never resign and the senate will never convict so at worse is something like G2 said. 

[Motown Bombers]

Of course the letter is signed by the usual suspects.

That's why the guy let the door slam in his face.   He was too grief-ridden to hold it any longer.

[smr-nj]

This is SUCH an obvious lie. 😂

[Tigerbomb13]

Obviously made up, but any tears were tears of joy.

Here's a court challenge I'd love to see go before juries...

https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2023/03/22/utah-parent-says-bible-contains/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Basic thumbnail, an Utah parent is asking the court to remove the Bible from libraries for basically the same reason "Christian" book burners are seeking to remove other books. 
 

So they’ve submitted a request for their school district in Davis County to now review the Bible for any inappropriate content.

“Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide,” the parent wrote in their request, listing topics they found concerning in the religious text. “You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition.”

The code cited is the Utah law passed in 2022 to ban any books containing “pornographic or indecent” content from Utah schools, both in libraries and in the classroom. It came after outcry from conservative parents groups, who have been pushing to have titles removed.

[oblong]

I've been waiting for that.

 

[Motown Bombers]

These republicans just keep digging in.

You don't believe it?  You've never laughed so hard that you started crying?

If there is enough heat, a non-profit will reimburse for the trips, if someone raises legal concerns, some more wrangling will be done until Thomas is responsible to reimburse a very small portion of the trip as 'his seat'.  It's almost like someone (Whitmer) already gave him an outline on how to do it.

How ridiculous 

[RatkoVarda]

reminds me that Trump had that wacko cabinet meeting (2018?) where he had everyone sign his praises as he went around the room. but, not a cult.

So the second Tennessee legislator was re-appointed to his seat unanimously. I have no idea what the Republicans accomplished.

The state gov now trying to gut the Nashville city gov...

Hard to call it anything but just evil - and a total rejection of the whole American premise. The symmetry is perfect though - people who wrap themselves in the Bible and reject every semblance of its teaching also wrapping themselves in the Constitution while doing their damndest to govern as tyrants.
