[gopiscrap]

1. Not yet.

Hope it will be good news.

2. Interesting that there is no news.

[gopiscrap]

5. that's what I thought.

I keep crossing my fingers that the illness wins out

[viva la]

3. Hospitalized since Friday

Maybe he's looking for an excuse to resign before they start investigating his wife?

[haele]

10. Family snark is that perhaps his wife inadvertently bit him...

And he's undergoing treatment for rabies. Or the Plague.

Haele
Thanks for the advice to fix.

[Srkdqltr]

18. I'm not the spelling police. But I think your first line needs fixing. Although it is funny.

[denbot]

36. I preferred the O OP

[a kennedy]

24. Oh my.......interesting isn't it. 😂 🤣 😂

[Samrob]

4. Does the GQP know something we don't know and why they are acting out at the hearing?

Picking ridiculous fights so they can vote no because maybe Thomas won't be back??? Hmmm

[NCjack]

19. I think you have sniffed a trail they are on.

[brewens]

6. I was just wondering that. If they had gotten a negative COVID test back on him,

wouldn't they say so? I'm sure if there was positive news, they would say. Not that I'm wishing him any ill will.

[gopiscrap]

7. I am wishing just that on him

[dflprincess]

8. Still on top of the grass

but no details about it.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. Initial reports said serious infection.

Serious infections requiring anti-biotics means possible Sepsis, MRSA, or Pneumonia. My late Mother had all 3 at the same time. It was what killed her eventually. Not the Stage 4 cancer in her lungs and the T8 in her back.

If Thomas is still in the hospital, it could be very serious.

[liberalla]

17. I read the antibiotics were being administered intravenously...

I always heard intravenous antibiotics indicated a very serious infection.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

20. My mother's were intravenous.

Still could not save her.

[Quakerfriend]

25. Yes, could be CDiff.

IV antibiotics can run for 3 weeks, if so.

[LeftInTX]

33. Not necessarily

IV antibiotics are often routinely administered in conjunction with many surgeries.

They can be administered for pneumonia or any infection that is at risk for becoming septic or with a stubborn wound.

[multigraincracker]

23. I had sepsis a year ago. I was glad it was not COVID, until I learned

that it is much more deadly than COVID.

[LeftInTX]

34. Really! But COVID can lead to sepsis.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. I was in meetings this afternoon and was also wondering

[dweller]

12. No news is good news ?

Although I remember when RBG was ill, and then she was back on the bench, and then wasn’t again … and then nothing?
I don’t recall hearing any notice that she was declining, or on life support or any news at all … and then it was announced she had died 😕
I thought it was strange that it was kept secret, no vigils or preparation for the public to prepare for the end, just one day announced she had died.

Am I remembering this correctly?

14. Loved her. Smart, strong, dignified, and righteous.

15. The wingnut joke about FDR

Every morning a suited-up fatcat would buy a newspaper on the street, glance and throw it in the trash. After much, the seller asked why. The Fatcat said he was looking for an obituary. Seller said obits are deep in the paper.

The Fatcat said, "The one I'm looking for will be on page 1 above the fold!"

[brewens]

16. I wonder how Ginni is doing? If she was sick or hospitalized, I'd bet they would hide that.

Be a shame if they both got their Herman Cain Awards.

[YDogg]

21. Actually, I am actively rooting for them ...

... to join Herman.

[FoxNewsSucks]

26. Unfortuantely,

he and his POS wife have not yet gone to hell, where they belong.

[spanone]

27. Evidently none of 'the peoples' business

[Quakerfriend]

28. Given the lack of news, I'm guessing

he went in with “flu like symptoms” and, they found something more foreboding…. We shall find out eventually.

I don’t wish him any ill will but, I do hope he has to step down.

29. check the new york times obituary page daily. nt.

30. Not that they ever broadcast.

Justice Thomas reported a wealth of gifts

In the last six years he has accepted free items valued at $42,200, the most on the high court.

December 31, 2004|Richard A. Serrano and David G. Savage | Times Staff Writers

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted tens of thousands of dollars worth of gifts since joining the high court, including $1,200 worth of tires, valuable historical items and a $5,000 personal check to help pay a relative's education expenses.

SNIP...

He also took a free trip aboard a private jet to the exclusive Bohemian Grove club in Northern California -- arranged by a wealthy Texas real estate investor who helped run an advocacy group that filed briefs with the Supreme Court.

Those and other gifts were disclosed by Thomas under a 1978 federal ethics law that requires high-ranking government officials, including the nine Supreme Court justices, to file a report each year that lists gifts, money and other items they have received.

Thomas has reported accepting much more valuable gifts than his Supreme Court colleagues over the last six years, according to their disclosure forms on file at the court.

And yet so many wonder why the rich keep getting richer.

[PortTack]

31. Just speculation, but an obvious one. If he were doing well, there would have been news of such

He’s old, diabetic and overweight. In today’s world of MRSA, covid and other serious infections, that’s not a wining combination for recovery. The longer he’s hospitalized the less likely he will make a full recovery...not impossible, but that’s the odds

[Jacson6]

32. HIPAA Laws will prevent any release of medical information unless he authorizes it.

[niyad]

35. he is not yet taking a dirt nap. We would have heard about it.
