Clarence Thomas' wife promoting Trump travel ban that may wind up before Supreme Court

The wife of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice is helping to organize against grassroots resistance to President Donald Trump and his policies — especially the travel ban.

The Daily Beast obtained an email from Ginny Thomas, the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, to a conservative listserv group asking how she could help promote the president’s controversial policies.

“What is the best way to, with minimal costs, set up a daily text capacity for a ground up-grassroots army for pro-Trump daily action items to push back against the left’s resistance efforts who are trying to make America ungovernable?” Thomas wrote. “I see the left has Daily Action @YourDailyAction and their Facebook likes are up to 61K.” That group, Daily Action, urges activists to make one phone call a day to oppose Trump policies.

“There are some grassroots activists, who seem beyond the Republican party or the conservative movement, who wish to join the fray on social media for Trump and link shields and build momentum,” Thomas wrote. “I met with a house load of them yesterday and we want a daily textable tool to start… Suggestions?”

They aint seen nuthin yet.

In any case, protests have been very peaceful and very large. They have been self-governing and well governed.

Meanwhile, the right and alt-right supremacists and dominionists are stocking up on guns and ammunition because Obama has a secret plan to take all their guns away. Hint: it's scheduled for next month.

Half of the tRump supporters are docile like the Thomas's: Right Wing Authoritarian Followers. The other half are ungovernable like Bannon: scruffy deplorable end-times apocalypsists.

And guess as well who will vote the way his wife's paid interests will be lobbying for.

And guess who will say there is no connection whatsoever between the two?

impropriety they just silently ignore it. And the republican regime absolutely revels in it. It's enough to make one sick on a more or less constant basis. The supreme court has become a partisan joke.

When she says a house load of grass roots activists, is she talking about a few billionaires who are willing to rent busses and hire paid protesters as they did when the Tea Party was created?
