UKRAINE AND ILK

THE ILK

LAWRENCE O’DONNEL

We need guard rails for the Supreme Court. Clarence Thomas just posed for a campaign photo with Hershel Walker running for office in Georgia.
“There are no rules in war.” Virginia Thomas.
There is an act before the Senate that would help with judicial ethics.
(Note: I did not know until last night that Hershel Walker claimed that when he put a gun to his wife’s head and threatened to blow her brains out that he was suffering from a mental illness that caused him to have 11 personalities. I think Thomas is in a similar situation and I have my suspicions about Alito.)
NYT reported a massive transfer of money from Saudis to Kushner.
The Trump administration covered for the Saudis after the killing of Khashoggi. Now, Jared is collecting payment. Saudi’s are rewarding and making a down payment on a future Trump presidency.
