Clarence Thomas communicating directly with Ron DeSantis?

EMAIL SUGGESTS THAT SUPREME COURT JUSTICE THOMAS HAD BEEN IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH FLORIDA GOV. DESANTIS

PUBLISH DATE:FEBRUARY 7, 2022

Emails obtained by American Oversight and reported on by Politico suggest that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has communicated regularly with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The records raise further questions about Justice Thomas’ ethics decisions, including regarding the work of his wife, conservative activist Ginni Thomas.

On June 10, 2021, Ginni Thomas reached out to DeSantis’ scheduling office to invite him to speak to a “coalition” of “conservative patriots.” Thomas explained that the governor would know her because she had interviewed him for the Daily Caller years before and saw him at a Trump White House state dinner. She also added that her “husband has been in contact with him too on various things of late.”

Disney could close Disney World for 2-4 years, crater Central FL economy, and not even feel it

Look at Disney's portfolio, including the movie studios.

Disney could mothball Disney World for an extended period of time and it would be barely a ripple.

Call it "renovation preparations and safety overhaul" if you need a neutral pretext.

Or just say "we will re-open again when Florida has a NEW GOVERNOR that is not hostile to Florida business."

Then watch the economy of central Florida fall into a black hole with DeRantis and the Republican Florida legislature holding the bag.

My opinion FWIW- Harlan Crow WANTED the public to know about his Nazi memorabilia

collection and Hitler-worship.

He wanted us to eventually find out.

That's why he didn't actually hide those items at his home. He knew it would come out and he wanted it to.

It's a threat. He is very clearly saying: "This is what we are going to do to you people. This is how much we hate you. We will unleash this Holocaust on you again. All you liberals. All you progressives. Blacks. Gays. Trans. Uppity women who won't submit. All of you. We have the money and power and this is what we will do. Know it."

He relishes it. He feels a sense of glee and power.

I feel like the public view of RFK Jr is as a crank and a clown, sadly.

Not saying this is my view. Saying that I think his public perception is not favorable. Would like to see polling on this.

plus - and this is purely objective - he has some kind of vocal issue that makes his speech very difficult to listen to.

It sounds painful. He is not a great orator. At all.

He's maybe 2 tiny baby steps above 4-freedom-shirts Steve Bannon running for president.

I don't think this is the "get" that Bannon thinks it is.

"bookkeeping error" is the new "only tourists" is the new "process crime" is the new

"locker room talk"

The GOP spin never stops.
