At first I was outraged by the wife of a Supreme Court justice urging a presidents chief of staff to do everything possible to overturn a presidential election, then I remembered the subhumans I was considering. So, what legal remedy is there in this situation either for Thomas or his fat wife? Or is this like everything else these bastards do that is illegal or improper?

I despise her, but I'll stay away from that kind of misogyny.
Attack her actions and her beliefs.

Id like to lose some pounds myself and even if I didnt, there are better ways to say things.
That said, shes a despicable person and Thomas should resign.

(415 posts)I think we all agree that she's a terrible person, but the body shaming and 'subhuman' are over the top, not cool.

(718 posts)Never mind that she thinks that we who oppose her are scum and that our votes do not count. She has subjected us to subhuman status but you think we are not entitled to treat her with the same medicine. We will never defeat these individuals until we are brave enough to slap them down with the same wreckless abandon they apply to us. Holding back in the name of civility only emboldens them. I am on your side but you would never know that by reading your posts

(6,974 posts)down the toilet as a voter. I have a right to vote and I voted for Joe Biden. She didn't think I had a right to vote and especially not for Biden. And that self-hating husband of hers is guilty of treason as well.
What she feels and thinks about democracy is 10,000 times worse than calling that treasonous thing a name, and God only knows what she thinks about someone like me whose half Native-American and half Black American since she's a racist pos as well.

(40,201 posts)I will always say that using the word fat to describe a person is wrong. I dont care who they are. There is plenty to say about her without discussing her appearance.

Like I said in my reply title, we can agree to disagree.
