Jennifer TaubI did Nazi this coming. Clarence Thomas’ sugar daddy Harlan Crow is a Hitler fanboy
David Fowler@jentaub
You know, today’s republican.
There is no bottom to these authoritarian pricks.
They are the enemy of decent honest people.

AlicePaulSo not so wonderful.
Amanda Weaver@jentaub If you wrote it in a book, everybody would say your villain was too cartoonish and over-the-top.
Sedunker@AmandaWeaver I was about to post the same damn thing.
Bodhipaksa@jentaub I would boost, but ... no alt text to help our visually impaired friends.
Jedigal007The Koch’s and Mercers are also Nazis
Truth
Wedgethe line to nazi worship for republicans is not always short and direct, but it's always there.
LAUREN@labelsoren @jentaub There are zero degrees of separation in this case. And Clarence has seen this collection as such close friends share their hobbies.
Shoq@jentaub I am sure Crow's defense is that he's a collector of all things tyrannical and autocratic. Like his priceless archive of Republican politicians.
Per FunkeHitler artifacts... OK.
Signed copy of MeinKampf...ok.
Assorted Nazi memorabilia...hmmm.
A garden of despots. OK he's bad. BAD! Unless he has a ¡REALLY! good explanation and I'd like to see him wriggle out of this.
About Thomas and his wife there's not much doubt, they are drogues on Democracy and Clarence need to be removed.
a.d. 🗽🇺🇸@jentaub .. if what you’re saying is true than that’s truly disgusting!!!! I hope you’re joking … I don’t like clarence thomas
Annietime@jentaub Jesus. Nazi money buys a Supreme Court Justice.
Oh the friends we keep!
This sure add some texture to Clarence Thomas’s bio.

For many people at that level of wealth, expressing contempt is their purest joy. Maybe their only joy.

Scott D. Strader 😐@jentaub Looking for other sources on the story and found this short article by David Frum from 2012. Is this... satire?!

Patty Kimura@sstrader @jentaub Lol. Yep. David Frum. Lapping at the trough of Nazi donors as benign, curated, cultured rich white all-American patriots in 2012. Until Trump says the unspoken out loud, that the (Nazis) "are very fine people..." Crow and Trump are very little different in their disdain for their shared enemies "the Soros" "degenerates".
Earthling@pattykimura @sstrader @jentaub
David Frum is not the firstJewish enabler of fascism, and will not be the last one:
Remember the grotesk Trump defender, attorney clown Alan Dershowitz?

Virtue signal 💉💉💉🇺🇸 🇺🇦@sstrader @jentaub I would bet there is no communist memorabilia inside the house; it is all outside exposed to the elements while the Nazi stuff is protected indoors. He even gloats about the outdoor statues being damaged.
I used to work at an auction house and have met plenty of people like this, always white conservative men who are "interested in WWII and history" but only Nazi artifacts.

When Republican megadonor Harlan Crow isn't lavishing Justice Clarence Thomas with free trips on his private plane and yacht (in possible violation of Supreme Court ethics rules), he lives a quiet life in Dallas among his historical collections. These collections include Hitler artifacts-two of his paintings of European cityscapes, a signed copy of Mein Kampf, and assorted Nazi memorabilia-plus a garden full of statues of the 20th century's worst despots.

T.Wllmsmakes more sense than not... it's who they are...
Darren du Nord@jentaub Why is anyone surprised? GQP 'cons have been showing the world who they are for a long time now.
FediThing has moved!So, it seems the Supreme Court is now owned by a Bond villain?
As in, there is a Bond villain who literally has a garden of despot statues:

Richard SeltzerFrom birth until the day he/she turns 18, it costs about $310,605 to raise a child, says Brookings Institution analysis of data from the U.S. Agriculture Dept.
For every child born because of overturning Roe v. Wade, that bill should be paid for by the justices responsible.

Badger AF (he/him) DEMOCRACY@jentaub I lived in Austria during my Year Abroad program in college. At a flea market I had seen a copy of Mein Kampf for sale. I told my professor who said I should have snapped it up.
I told him, because I was not a WWII scholar, I didn't. It would look pretty damn creepy on otherwise eclectic bookshelf and I definitely would have felt weird about it.
But to have a signed copy and paintings? Not only beyond expensive but pretty fucking creepy.
Dan Wentzel 🏳️🌈Just as some women want to hold up the patriarchy, it sadly seems like Clarence Thomas is proving that some nonwhites want to uphold white supremacy too.

chevaliersinnombre@jentaub I am fucking livid to learn a Supreme Court justice is buddies with a Hitler fan! And he sees nothing wrong with this?! He shouldn’t be allowed to take out the trash let alone decide my future. Double fuck!
MugsysRapSheet Blog ☑️@jentaub Thomas claimed he & Crow "have been friends for two decades" and that all the trips, jobs & gifts he receives are simply b/c of their friendship.
If Thomas is *truly* that stupid and genuinely believes Crow would be his friend if he weren't a SC Justice, he might also be too stupid to not notice Crow's Hitler memorabilia or affinity for Despots. 😞
MaybeMyMonkeys@jentaub how can anyone trust a chief justice or any judge for that matter with such a broken moral compass.
Yai Torres@jentaub @jcrabapple Clarence Thomas is living proof of Godwin’s Law
Aurelius Publius@jentaub that sounds like an incredible historical collection. What other despots are included, I assume several communist dictators too. If so, it's weird to focus on just Hitler, he might just be into that side of human history.
Given the connection between US and German Nazis in the 1930s, and the resurgence of US fascism today, I wonder how it became possible that the US joined the European allies to go to war against Nazi Germany.
My guess is that it was more about defeating Nazi Germany and restraining the Soviet-Union in the competition for global power, and less about being missionaries of human rights and democracy.
Kathleen McGregor@jentaub here’s where I wish for an :-0 option. Crimeny!
SteveBologna@jentaub The SCOTUS has no written rules concerning ethics
Pamela@jentaub You are what you surround yourself with that you value. Celebrating Hitler & despots says everything you need to know about this person. To take his money makes you the same!
DumbledopeWhen I see a Nazi and his friend I'm actually just seeing two Nazis.
@jentaub um wow…
British Tech Guru@jentaub What would you do with a signed copy of Mein Kampf and two of his paintings then?
Adam Christian Smith@britishtechguru @jentaub get them to me. I’ll burn them in Star Spangled fashion.
@adamcsmith @jentaub Would you put $75,000 per copy of the book in a bonfire? How about $12,000 per copy of the paintings?
@britishtechguru @jentaub these? Without hesitation.
@adamcsmith @jentaub That makes me very uncomfortable. I remember some famous book burning in the past.
@britishtechguru @jentaub you can read it online. No need to feed the zealots. We can disagree. Nobody’s giving me a $75k book so it’s moot. ☺️ my only insensitivity is fascists.
@adamcsmith @jentaub Actually I did read it, 30+ years ago. I thought it was real drivel.
@jentaub why aren’t I shocked?

Lewis@jentaub Oh what fun it must be to be the pet of a genuine Nazi...
Joe@jentaub So my questions are this: did Justice Thomas violate a law? or just violate an ethics rule? or neither, or both?
