A People’s Cube Special Report
By Panem et Circenses
Washington, DC — As attacks intensify against Clarence Thomas and the other conservative Supreme Court justices for receiving gifts from his friends, Justice Thomas is reportedly wishing he had just received millions in foreign cash instead.
Propublica and the New York Times have been publishing detailed exposés recently on Justice Thomas, analyzing every gift, vacation, trip, and purchase from the last forty years. These hard-hitting reports showed a disturbing pattern of personal friends not charging the Justice when they traveled together on yachts or personal aircraft.
Justice Thomas has mostly ignored the accusations, but veterans of the Washington political scene were critical of these concerning appearances of impropriety.
As a Political Action Committee chair stated “Most high level politicians make their own money and don’t need any help from their friends. Why didn’t he just set up off shore shell companies, then use aliases and non-official email addresses to solicit millions from our adversaries? That’s one way to pay for your vacations without making it look like your rich buddies are influencing you by giving you a free ride on their jet, am I right?”
He offered more ideas to the beleaguered Justice. “There are so many options to make extra cabbage. How about setting up a charitable foundation? That’s popular. Or get into investing in the companies you regulate, like so many of my friends in congress do? They’re so good at making money in the stock market, I sometimes think the ‘D’ behind their name stands for ‘Dang Good Investor‘, you know?”

Yabbut at least her butt crack and underboob areas don’t stink.
I’ve decided that the Lumē Deodorant woman is the scariest woman that I have seen in a long time.

Yes, both my brother and sister live this side of Tomball. If we could have ever got our dad to get out of Spring Branch we’d all be close together.
Just caught a punch line that I’ve missed on this show before:
“I’d feel like I was lying and sneaking!”
“You are lying and sneaking. You’re working for the government.”
Tedtam….An insane turn of events for your cousin. Prayers up.
GjT sounds like a great celebration.
Count your blessings that your brother is reasonably close by.
That’s just very sad Tedtam. Prayers for GC.

impeach all bms Vampyres.
My BETA just called. They *almost* got Green Cousin home. They stopped at Whataburger and GC fell when she got out of the car. They got her to the dialysis center to get her signed up for tomorrow’s session – and she fell out of the car again. Banged her head and “fractured her lower back” – I guess we’ll… Read more »
the 7000 illegal aliens coming across the border a day won’t be mentioned.
abboot will remembered as the governor who surrendered the Alamo and Texas.
We’re less than 50 minutes away from 8pm.
There’s no way these folks in Austin are going to report to the Judge that they are ready to vote on the Articles of Impeachment tonight.
Probably. Maybe. Perhaps.
🙂
24 Hey Darren!!!!
Hilarious.
From the hospital, Aaron Rodgers smacks down the vile Keith Olbermann.
Yes, just a reminder.
Abbott will be calling at least one more Special Session next month on school choice and other issues.
Another funny….(after 6.5 hours of private Senate deliberations) I have been watching the WFAA (Dallas) streaming feed of the Impeachment trial. Their coverage during breaks is somewhat interesting. A couple of their Capitol reporters just appeared live and were asked what’s going on. They said crickets. Literally crickets. Austin got rain yesterday for the first time in forever. Which apparently… Read more »

This generation of office holders are shameless and gutless worms.
Funniest headline of the day:
New Mexico Governor Lujan Grisham is heading to Taiwan
Meet Dove Soap’s new spokeshog.
I think she is going to try and slim down to merely morbidly obese; she’s way past that now. I think she now qualifies for a position in the side show at the circus.
It was raining cats and dogs at Buffalo Speedway and Westheimer just an hour and a half ago. Nothing yet here in Glorious Copperfield, but the sky looks promising.
Sarah, my little mutt runt, was very glad to see me.
We just got 1.33 inches of rain in something under 30 minutes… And decided that Shortie Dog hasn’t even seen rain before LOL
I’ve talked here about Paramount Global’s concealed intent to dump at least CBS News if not the entire network. I said it would have a domino effect on the old corporate media networks. Now it seems like Disney is trying to find somebody, anybody to buy ABC in total. The news media landscape is getting ready to radically change and… Read more »
RE: My @ 3:54 PM I am sure hundreds more jihadis and terrorists slip across the Texas and Arizona borders because the amount of “got aways” is enormously larger than anywhere along the Canadian border. However, if I were a terrorist mastermind plotting some kind of horror, I would definitely consider the Canadian border because it is so long, so… Read more »
Senate jurors have been deliberating in private for four hours. If I recall correctly, they will be kept there until 8pm. If they do not finish tonight they will go from 9am until 8pm tomorrow. If it goes to Sunday, they will start at noon, go until 8pm, And at that point Judge Patrick threatened to sequester them at the… Read more »
The United States: The Swiss cheese member of the global community.
Guess what ? According to a news report/interview I heard this week the US Border Patrol had caught more illegals in 2023 crossing the Canadian/New York State border that made the list of suspected/certified terrorists than Texas and Arizona combined.
Lost power, but the generator kicked in.
We’re getting some thunder and lightning now. Haven’t a good storm in a long, long time.
Damned MAGA Democrats. I think they’re more “NIMBY Dems”. They were quite happy to vote for open borders as long as those borders were far, far away. Now that the southern border extends to their back yards, it’s suddenly a problem. It’s good to see the elitist liberal rulers getting some pushback, but I’m not shedding a tear over the… Read more »
We’ve been getting light rain and sprinkles this afternoon. But we’re getting some heavier rain now.
Nice change.
It is a gratifying feeling to watch and listen to huge crowds of New York City residents who never voted for anyone but a Democrat scream and rage at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jerry Nadler and other sleazy politicos and not allow them to talk to media at a press conference about “immigration”. SEND THEM BACK. !!! CLOSE THE BORDER !!! WE… Read more »

Buddy the Dog was very enthused with our return. I was talking to him on the Ring Doorbell last night, felt really bad when I realized he thought we were inside. Still feel bad.
Back from Galveston, cloudy and rainy all week but we didn’t mind. Brought rain with us! Great trip, about 25 people came to my brother’s retirement party from Houston Fire Department.
Max never said a word about being bored.
#24 DARREN:
1) Nice to see you

Do we have a fake fetterman too?
that dude doesn’t even look like the original.
the original had dumbo ears and a different shaped face.
And where’s the hump on the back of his neck?

Morning, y’all. I was glad that I could afford to have Matsuo in the vet hospital for 3 days; he’s feeling a lot better and he’s so glad to be home. I have 2 different pills I have to give him during the day, and I’m surprised how well that is going. I guess that he’s so glad to be… Read more »
Speaking of being sprung, I realized that I’m in my last week of using the ESSBGS belt.
I assume that Green Cousin has been sprung from her hospital prison bed by now. I can only imagine how she’s feeling today.
Texpat – got it.
I am now a heretic.
Y’all better watch out. Hanging out with me could be dangerous!

If you could just cover for The Weekend. I’m good for next week until Yom Kippur.
I’ve cleared Elsa of Batch #15, gotta figger out what’s next. Handyman is busy putting more shelves together upstairs. I used a jar of one of my canned soups – Chicken Verde -for Hubby’s dinner last night. I wasn’t hungry, and it was a pint jar, perfect with a sandwich. /marking off one of my tick marks on my inventory… Read more »
Well, this one should make Mharper take notice: Following last week’s similar article encouraging people to stop selfishly having kids, the UK Guardian ran a mind-numbing piece Wednesday headlined, “The case against pets: is it time to give up our cats and dogs?” Ummmmmmmmmm…..nope. Surprisingly, the impetus isn’t climate change. Now I am really SHOCKED! I thought everything was tied… Read more »
Remember Childers’ story of a day or so ago, where Zelensky was requesting the extradition of Ukrainian draft dodgers? He needs more cannon fodder, it seems. Well, the EU has told him to pound sand. Or pound something. Except Poland. …Russia Today reported that last month, former comedian and Ukraine President Zelensky fired all his draft commissioners, every single one, and… Read more »
Our cat Purrscilla sat on the desk looking out the living room window at something of interest outside. Seems to be an anole lizard on the other side that had her complete attention for a while. She finally gave up looking and left for something more interesting, like leftover breakfast. She thinks that windows are tricky things.
For once, a Karen was useful: Remember that weird, semi-abandoned warehouse in California that turned out to be a Chinese bioweapons lab masquerading as a covid test-making operation? The unlicensed, hidden-in-plain-sight lab was discovered by a scooter-equipped low-level Reedly official, after a nosy neighbor filed a report with codes enforcement because lab workers used an outside garden hose on the… Read more »
London has been trying to initiate a car-less society, in so-called “ULEZ zones” (Ultra low carbon emission zones). This involved cameras which recorded when your car hit the public pavement and then issued a fee to the car owner. Right now the fee is $16 per event, but that will shoot up into the hundred/s dollar range soon. Londoners responded… Read more »
