... Clarence Thomas himself has been accused of receiving lavish gifts from wealthy Rightists. The tale is that Thomas had been dropping hints that he might resign from SCOTUS because he wasn't making enough money there.

OK, that looks very bad, but it's mostly news reports that may not be reliable. However, British comedian John Oliver -- of the LAST WEEK TONIGHT show -- has taken them at face value, and with a certain Zen has publicly told Thomas: *I have such a deal for you!*

Oliver announced on LWT in February: “We have a special offer for you tonight. We are prepared to offer you $1 million a year for the rest of your life, if you simply agree to leave the Supreme Court immediately, and never come back.”

Oliver also offered to give Thomas a multi-million luxury RV, presumably a converted tour bus -- that reflecting on Thomas' 1999 purchase of a high-end motor home, with friendly financing help from a rich admirer.

Oliver's offer was good for 30 days. Thomas, to no surprise, didn't bite, but early this month Oliver offered it again. Thomas has been complaining as of late about what a nasty place Washington DC is, so maybe he's more willing to bite now.

As Oliver put it in February: “A million dollars a year and a brand new condo on wheels, and all you have to do in return is sign the contract and get the f*** off the Supreme Court.” Oliver isn't into subtle British wit. He more believes in scorched earth.

I'm still fond of Oliver's comment from some years back about the Trump Administration being "Stupid Watergate" -- as bad as the original, but “everyone involved is stupid and bad at everything.”

Yeah, that kind of nails the Trump Administration, doesn't it?

Most people who dislike Trump focus first on how BAD he is. The first thing I notice is how DENSE he is.
