ProPublica released a new report on Friday detailing Justice Clarence Thomas’ close relationship with the Koch brothers with previously undisclosed and extraordinarily damning new details.
According to ProPublica, the justice developed a friendship with the Kochs as they were funneling hundreds of millions of dollars into right-wing causes, many of which ended up before the Supreme Court. The brothers then used Thomas to raise money for their sprawling network, inviting him to speak at “donor events” that brought in millions of dollars.
He disclosed none of these activities on his annual disclosure forms, an obvious violation of federal ethics law.
De you really think that anyone liberal or left is going to defend Manchin or pretend he isn't an example of a problem? Is this supposed to be a 'gotcha' of some sort?
All day long on this community.
Link the mass amount of people. Surely you can go find them.
Didn't say a mass amount. But there are people on this community who will defend Manchin as long as anyone keeps talking about what a piece of shit he is. You can test this for yourself. Just point out some policies Manchin has killed and express disappointment without making excuses for him. You'll be inundated with "HE'S THE BEST WV CAN DO" and "WHATABOUT ALL THE REPUBLICANS HE VOTED WITH?!?!" or some of the standard centrist gaslighting about not knowing how anything works, or some combination of the above.
Hell, link one. One link.

No, I expect the usual will happen, everyone will try to ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist
Kind of like your attitude towards reality?
