Wait a minute.

An Indonesian trip cost him 500K?

So that's what caused the six month coke drought in Bali

This wasn’t about accepting a small memento, like a nice pen set. A 2019 trip to Indonesia that included flights on Crow’s jet and cruising aboard his super yacht could have cost Thomas and his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, more than $500,000 if they had paid for it themselves, ProPublica said, adding that Clarence Thomas has accepted luxury trips from Crow virtually every year. Oh — and in 2011 it was reported Crow gave half a million dollars to a Tea Party group Ginni Thomas founded that paid her a $120,000 salary.

Privately owned superyachts come with an operating expense price tag :twisted: . Here we see the difference between a real billionaire ship owner and a fake billionaire pent house owner.

The 500K refers to the cost of the private plane ride back and forth, as I understand it. Reporters are saying that stays at the homes of friends are not in violation of the rule. Air far is.

School vouchers are almost never enough to pay tuition at a good private school. They may pay for crappy private schools that are set up just to collect some of that money.

So poor parents still can't get their kids out of dangerous, substandard inner city schools, because they can't pay the difference between what the vouchers pay and the tuition to a good private school.

The result is that the vouchers only serve to defund already underfunded public schools and subsidize rich parents who probably would have sent their kids to a private school anyway.

Or as they usually say, "What part of "Shall not be infringed" don't you understand?"

Funny how that phrase isn't open to interpretation, but "well regulated" is ;)

Oh that part of the sentence is always completely left out (and yes it is a singular sentence). Because you know, freedom!!
