Vacationing with people who are likeminded is one thing. Having those friends pay every cent of your luxurious vacation is quite another. I don’t vacation on my friends’ dimes …. Particularly not to the tune of $500,000 a vacation. [/quote]

Agree 100%   I have never had any friend pay or subsidize my vacation expenses to Justice Corrupt's extent.  Even when I am invited to a beach house, I make sure to bring an expensive bottle of wine and/or pay for dinner out at the beach.  I would not even dream about accepting this sort of vacation.  [And I certainly have plenty of friends in the top 1%.]  Justice Thomas is simply corrupt. [/quote]

How do you know he didn't reciprocate with gifts?[/quote]

please be serious.[/quote]
The op has unwittingly hit on why Thomas’s corruption is so rotting to the country. He [i]did[/i] reciprocate - with decisions beneficial to Crow and the far right interests Crow represents.[/quote]

That poster brought up an expensive bottle of wine, but yeah that's [i]totally [/i]outside of the realm of possibility for CT to give to a friend.[/quote]
If you don’t think the reciprocation calculus changes from some nobody (sorry, PP, you’re not a nobody, you’re just not on the SC) who has rich friends to the situation in which a SCJ has a friendship magically cultivated by a billionaire who just happens to be involved in all these groups who put court cases before the judge. #samesies[/quote]

This dude is super rich. All of these expenses are chumps change to him.

When people are talking division of labor or expenses in the household, don't think like to calibrate it by percentage of income or available free time? Similar concept here. It's the the thought and effort brought to the friendship.

Was the justice taking random trips that Crow wasn't involved in and milking it like that? Seems like the travel expenses were in the interest of spending time together.[/quote]
Congratulations, you’ve missed the point. Everyone knows these expenses are chump change [i]to the billionaire[/i]. The expenses are NOT chump change to the equally corrupt chump on the bench though, thus guaranteeing Clarence’s obedience and favors in all rulings. And we already know that Clarence doesn’t recuse. He even presided over a case affecting his traitor wife (and since not a one of you RWNJs follows the news, she helped plan the insurrection. That makes her, literally, a traitor).[/quote]

Whoosh. You've just devalued the low paying job wife's contribution to the house because her time isn't "worth as much" as her Managing Director husband. [/quote]
Lol. No, I haven’t, and if that’s the issue upon which your argument hinges… yikes. [/quote]

Whoosh!

Reciprocal exchange of gifts commensurate with financial wherewithal to furnish such gifts = indicia of genuine personal friendship.[/quote]
You can make as many noises as you wish; you’re still missing the point. [/quote]

You can keep repeating that as many times as you wish, you're still missing the point.[/quote]
