Ketanji Hauls $1.5M in ONE YEAR, But Media FREAKS Over Clarence Thomas’s $100K.

[Dante]

Book Deals are a front for funneling donations….. the advance on the front end and then the bulk purchase of books that never get opened.

Is that what all those GOP politicians and MAGA news talking heads are doing?

This is where you hypocrisy is exposed. Jackson is making money the old fashioned way, by writing a book, that people want to buy. Barack and Michelle Obama did it. Bill and Hillary Clinton did it. Even Joe Biden did it.​

And each one of them reported that income.​

​

But Clarence Thomas instead took free gifts, from rich friends, and kept that fact hidden, even as federal, law required he made the disclosure.​

You mean the MAGA supporters hide income and cheat of taxes? Do they make bookkeeping errors too?

Doom and Gloom fits MAGA to a Tee

Had to go where? Democrats are wanting Thomas to resign because he has rich friends. Why is my questioning the reason why a “doom and gloom” situation for you?

As noted above, book deals are simply the legal way people bribe others to do things for them.

Very few are actually going to read Jackson's book.

I haven’t seen GOP politicians do any books while they were in office. Trump did a number of them before getting into politics.

Were they “sold” based on a bulk order or was this based on individual point of sale retail bases?

Running for office.

Running for office.

Running for office or in office. You also have Democrats who write books and then use their office to influence (mandate) that agencies use taxpayer funds to buy them (See Baltimore Mayor and school system).

Or, one of my favorites - Democrat nominated Supreme Court Justices that use their staffs and office resources to sell their books (See Sotomayor).

No, no hidden gifts, just following Supreme Court rules, which make their own rules because they, unlike lower Federal courts, are a separate branch of government created in the Constitution while all other Federal courts are created by Congress.

Publishers throw money at leftists for books no one reads, aka slush funds.

How soon they forget Jim Wright. They've gotten a little more sophisticated since, same BS though.

Then why did you bring them up?

Well you haven’t been paying attention. I’ve never attacked anyone based on their sex or race.

I have seen you attack black many times, I have also seen you quiet as a church mouse when it comes to black. You are cut from the same cloth as folks like Byron Donalds, Tim Scott, Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, etc.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Talkers are a dime a dozen. So, in politics elected or non-elected its meh. And frankly in the political field they are in the way of a lot of potential smooth things along with their accusations. So, there are many people who are not very good in any background and uplifted due to culture instead of true abilities. We use the word qualified which is true yet has massive top to bottom levels of what that normal is. This is not about folks working against black folks. Perhaps some of the black folks like a lot of others cannot keep up as fast and are in important positions. In a nation of multiple cultures this happens.

WTF does any of that have to do with Struth and her feelings on black folks.

….Men who actually accept Blacks unconditionally whereas Black Democrats actually fall in line when one of their leaders tells them who not to vote for or they will no longer be Black.

You mean sell outs who actually work against black folks, funny how black folks do better under Democrats.

 

[Foxfyre]

Just the usual leftoid/Democrat/MSM hypocrisy. Which is basically all they've got.

Pathetic as usual. And the usual BS "book deal" that sees leftist publishers shovel money to Dems.

​

Left-wing activists and Democrats seeking to undermine the legitimacy of the U.S. Supreme Court have repeatedly attacked Justice Clarence Thomas over allegations that he received $4 million in gifts over the past 33 years on the bench. However, these activists are ignoring the lucrative secret incomes being raked by the more liberal wing of the court, including its newest and most progressive member, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.​

​

As revealed in recent financial disclosures, U.S. Supreme Court justices reported a collective $1.5 million in book income last year. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the highest earner from book advances, receiving $893,750 for her forthcoming memoir. That marks a nearly $1 million earning in a single year, compared to Justice Thomas, who has been under unrelenting pressure for $4 million in alternative earnings over a period of 33 years—or just over $100,000 per year.​

It's also utterly ridiculous to put a value on spending time with a close friend on that friend's yacht. If Thomas had visited the friend at the friend's home, it would have been okay? But somehow there is a value attached to spending time with him on his yacht or going places with him in his private plane? It's nuts.

Maybe a black person but not because they are black. I’ve attacked people because of their oppressive demklan views

Wow, that must be frustrating. You should do something about that.

As usual, you’re humping Trump’s leg. Rather unattractive.

How are Blacks doing better under Democrats when Blacks question the progress under Democrats to the point Joe Biden is threatening to take away their Blackness ????
