The Thomases were never a duo of intellectual equals, or a power couple where each member had their own thing going on, and where the merger of the two was like Voltron coming together.
This isnt James Carville and Mary Matalin. Or Norman Podhoretz and Midge Decter. Or Irving Kristol and Gertrude Himmelfarb. Or any number of other famous couples. Heck, this isnt even Sonny and Cher.
No. The Thomases are more like Ivanka and Jared: The senior partner in the arrangement held a position of such high importance that their society scrabbled around to find something for the dimmer partner to do in order to make them feel important. In Jareds case, that has been destroying newspapers, losing money on real estate, and being tasked with brokering peace in the Middle East.

I would agree that stupid and evil is not as bad as smart and evil.
Trump is stupid, for which we can be profoundly thankful. My fear is a smarter Trump. I know he's out there.

Once Trump got tossed from office, she knew she needed nothing more from him, and is in the process of getting as far away as she can from him......

(7,271 posts)they're both bat shit crazy. Thomas has been able to hide for the most part under the cloak of indivisibility by virtue of his installment on SCOTUS, which Scalia covered for him for the lion's share of his tenure. His opinions are written for him by his clerks probably from the Federalists Society pool.
Ginny? She sure knows how to take advantage of her position.

(25,226 posts)It seems to me that it is worthwhile for them to try using this excuse to weasel their way out of this controversy and give Thomas an excuse to NOT recuse himself.

(1,668 posts)Guys like Tucker may not be idiots, but they play one on TV. Doing what theyre told appears to be a core trait, so being influenced by tucker, hannity etc is an absolute requirement.

(15,234 posts)The term most commonly used at the time he was a goat. It took me some years to associate the lawyer who worked for Attorney General John Danforth as the creepy lurker from a few years earlier. Stupid may be a good description he did not hide his public displays of affection. I instantly knew Anita Hill must be telling the truth Jefferson City is a small town.

(21,604 posts)His assassination of Gen. Soleimani was brazenly designed to trigger an Iranian response - followed by Cheeto's inevitable Bush-esque late night televised order to attack Tehran (cocaine nose twitches optional).
The obvious timing is, of course, the answer as to why (plus constant pressure from Bibi).
It was no doubt the Pentagon's unwillingness to go along - even after the Iranian retaliatory strike on the U.S. compound in Irbil, Iraq - that averted an all-out war.

(6,254 posts)her husbands position on SCOTUS offends the hell out of me. That she would take such a prominent role in over-turning our election and texting Meadows about sending people to Gitmo and mentioning her best friend really gets me worked up. When the seditionists go low, we go lower. But I get your point and its not something I ever do. She is a disturbing looking woman, a real villain, willing to spread fear, hate, and division. Even her nick-name Gianni is disturbing. Ginni the big mouth, Q loving blob, is so vile a person that I cannot control myself. She is a giant mass of excrement floating around Washington using her equally vile husbands position to get rich, flout norms, and destroy democracy. Clarence is just as bad, a traitor to his race, a despicable, intellectually inadequate liar and sexual predator who was the only dissenting opinion regarding a case which involved his wife. He didnt even have the decency to recuse himself.

(9,670 posts)Last time I remember them relinquishing control was January 2021. Before that it was January 2009. I guess the bottom line is that America features a great number of idiots who then vote based on familiarity. "I'm an idiot, he's an idiot, therefore he should represent me in Congress".

(6,828 posts)Frank Zappa wrote a song about Clarence and Ginny.
At least the title. It's an instrumental song. Franks guitar work comes from dedicating his adult life to creating complex yet enjoyable music that been an inspiration my entire life from jr. high to the present. The music of Frank Zappa is the best!
