This is what the stinking rich are doing with their money and they have the nerve to tell hard-working people don't live beyond our means. We are the most strategic, penny-pinching, coupon-clipping, second-hand-wearing folks you'll ever know! It's so sickening!
Our government bought and paid for and it's really a disaster that the supreme Court has fallen
BRAVO! Senator Whitehouse YOU'VE DisCovered the FATEST of "RAT"publicans! YANK TAINTED JUDGES From Our SCOTUS Now Do Not Impeach, Too Expensive and Costly! USA CITIZENS Want TO SUE!!! WORST of RACKETEERING EVER! ALL, ALL STUDENT LOANS are CANCELED!
My favorite Whitehouse đ đ§
It's so strange to watch the American people from the outside. You gladly give your last dollar to buy a "religious" leader a new jet, help a lunatic lawyer with his legal fees, paying for restoring DJT´s personal jet, and other completely stupid things. But you dont want to pay tax, and certainly not if the money goes to ex. free medicare for the people. Very strange indeed.
Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas need to go⌠now!
"Personal hospitality!" đđđ They sure know how to put icing on a cake. A shame the cake is made of dog poop.
Thx Senator. I find this corruption REVOLTING !!! Why donât they investigate the Federslist society w Leonard Leo ???
SCOTUS is corrupt. The whole world knows it. Why are we blind to it? They own the media! They put lies out and Amerikans believe as they are haters who sit and think about hurting Americans. Billionaires should not corrupt the court. But it's too late now, they are corrupt to the core. Money in huge amounts is corrupting everything, but they bought SCOTUS. Lock Stock and Barrel. Look at what Thomas said, Is that a pubic hair on my soda can? Making his nickname, "Is that a pubic hair on my soda can Thomas" . And he's the obvious one, who says to America, just try and hold me to account. We are special and can't be held to account as we are The Supreme Court Leaders who can't be touched for violating the law. What pieces they are.
Have they delved into the Pelosiâs insider training yet? Maybe they can do bundle deal
Senator Whitehouse Thank U for standing up for Truth and protecting our NATION FROM SCOTUS đđđđ
Term Limits. They're service positions, not careers in 'fundraising.' No private money or donations to any specific candidates. Create a general fund. Public broadcasting only. Platforms and cuvilized debates only. No social media. No ads. 90 days to talk. VOTE.
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse.
Whitehouse's director's cut of this adaptation of The Road To Perdition includes a prequel showing how the Citizen's United decision softened the ground for Leonard Leo's long game.
That was awesome !
front groups: always a sign of honesty.
How much in your pocket?
Foreign & domestic billionaire dark-money funding criminality tied to Trump-GOP deserves accountability. This Trump-GOP to America cost money and billionaire greed to end democracy is illegal and must be held accountable.
God bless the Democrats!
This Federalist Society had no business interfering in the Federal government to begin with.
The wealthy will ALWAYS distort the laws with their money …… that is what these excess billions are for. They will never have enough money to distort laws that suit them. This is the system trump belongs to. Do you think he will change anything? Of course not!!!
Whitehouse needs to be president or the head of the DOJ.
What's new…even in the bible…the rich shall get richer and the poor poorer….hahahahaha. that's what the USA society wants. Let it be
Senator Whitehouse keeps hope alive in the peoples belief in our government… Rare .
"But contrary to the plain language of the Ethics in Government Act, which clearly includes all judicial branch âemployees,â the gift restrictions exempt the Supreme Court justices from coverage. The rules apply to all U.S. judges âother than ⌠the Supreme Court of the United States.â
SENATOR WHITEHOUSE IS A GIFT FROM HEAVEN. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND HERE, THE RIGHT WING JUSTICES WERE BOUGHT OUT BY BILLIONAIRES SO THAT THESE JUSTICES WOULD JUST BE OBEDIENT IN FAVOR OF THESE BILLIONAIRES AND THEREFORE THEY ARE FREE FROM ANY INVESTIGATION AND NO
CHARGES AGAINST THESE BILLIONAIRES AND JUST BE FREE FROM ANY FUTURE
VIOLATIONS.
I truly hope Sen. Whitehouse is in line for the 2028 nomination for the democrat nomination. First we save democracy with Biden and convict Trump of his crimes.
Get 'em, cheating bxxxxxxx
Yes it was illegal – that's how corrupt most of the GOP & SCOTUS operate.
Wow, Senator Whitehouse you are the best, l enjoyed the way you put the Supreme Court justices on blast,. I love it, thank you for all the work you do exposing these crooks and criminals in the highest court of the U.S.A. Shame on them.
Keep those corrupt judges feet to the fire. We are disgusted by Kavanaugh, Alito and Thomas. Liars and cheats should not be arbiters of justice in America. Until all three of those liars and hypocrites are gone, this family has NO confidence in the American legal system. Pathetic. Roberts inaction has shown what a corrupt coward he is too.
nobody watches mini me nbc
Make Accountability Guaranteed ALWAYS! MAGA
Our supreme court made corruption legal, if republicans or democrats cared about this, they would remove these justices immediately, but they seem to have popular support with both democrats and republicans in congress for some reason…. $$$
Possibly?
Vote blue and throw out all fascist republicans.
The super wealthy and big business along with the Republicans are the greatest threat to our Nation in our history. At last the domestic threat is clearly more dangerous than any foreign adversary. Vote exclusively blue in all elections and all levels of government. Meanwhile continue to put light and attention on the SCOTUS and their corrupt supporters. Would be great if the DEMs pursue impeachments, pass and enforce ethics and term limits, and, expand the SCOTUS but not likely to happen. Democrats are too accustomed to attempting bipartisanship and compromise. We need more aggressive representation in government to deal with the Republicans.
We are no different than Russia and their Oligarchs, seems our Billionaires are running our country too:-( This is what happens when the GOP wants to end Democracy and give tax break after tax break to the rich). So autocratic and un-Constitutional, exactly what the fore fathers wanted! Let's start finding the Leo's of America guilty of the crimes Sheldon speaks of and put an end to all this corruption. If not one day we will all be slaves to just a few who live in the "Capitol of Panem" or on "Elysium"! Wake up America and Vote blue until you can hardly find Red ever again;-)
More bribes be thrown around to block transparency
What a clown
Very possible illegal conduct in the Biden crime family.
