    These “Moronic articles” places him into the spotlight.

    There is very few things that can be considered an “Annoyance” to rich folk, being in that spotlight is one of them.

    People like Clarence Thomas want to go on vacation and not worry about being recognized in public.

    Being in the spotlight means they have to hire more security, it means background checks, it means more people in your private life, it means always looking over your shoulder because the “media” is everyone with a smart phone nowadays.

    So while I would love to see less topics on Clarence Thomas that doesn’t involve a jail cell. The attention on his shadiness, is the 2nd best for now.

      He knows he’s essentially untouchable, so all the things you list, he probably doesn’t give a flying fuck about. Lazy Merrit Garland isn’t going to open an investigation on Thomas and it looks like neither is the IRS to see if there were any tax shenanigans going on. And our corporate news media is more on his side, than the side of The People. 90% of these stories are utterly pointless. They are filler to get clicks

      Elon Musk must be suffering greatly, I’m sure.
