Corruption is a form of dishonesty or a criminal offense which is undertaken by a person or an organization which is entrusted in a position of authority, in order to acquire illicit benefits or abuse power for one's personal gain. Corruption may involve many activities which include bribery, influence peddling and embezzlement. Political corruption occurs when an office-holder or other governmental employee acts within an official capacity for personal gain. cf. Clarence Thomas.
It's sure going to be awkward if Trump gets elected and cannot leave the country to visit other world leaders or attend conferences because he's either in jail or under house arrest. Can you imagine visiting presidents from other countries going through prison security just to meet the President of the United States? Maybe they'd even have to speak to Trump with those phones they use when prisoners are separated from visitors by glass partitions.
While Trump dupes his MAGA supporters, we should all focus on campaigning for Joe Biden and other Democrats up and down the ballot. If you haven't started campaigning, start by talking to people around you, writing postcards, phone banking, text banking or even donating small amounts to Democratic candidates.

As a nurse I wasn't allowed to take gifts unless it was something like food for the whole unit. Of course for the Supreme Court that wouldn't help, they'd just all go on more vacations together.
Trump's worms aren't in his head, they are in Congress.
Good one ❤😂👍🏻
And up his Arse 😅
Well we have one coming from Israel as well on the 24th of July.
Yeah, and the worms already finished eating his brain anyway. Need proof? Compare the two and see who actually makes more general sense, RFK Jr. or Trumpo the Orange Turd. I mean, they're both complete idiots, so just see which one of them is over the Top Biggest Idiot in America.
@@RamseySievertswhat type of people are you? You seem to be watching
This is a disgrace not only for the Supreme Court but also for the whole government cause this country is going downhill every day. What type of court system is this?!🤦♀️😠
Er, this might be a.stupid question, folks.....but as a Brit can I ask why any Supreme Court Justices are free to receive gifts in the first place....? In other words.....WTF..?
America has a lot to learn
Democrats in Congress want SCOTUS to abide by the same rules they are obligated to follow. No gifts over $50.
Lindsay Graham just blocked the ethics legislation for SCOTUS that they were trying to pass.
Why are judges and politicians allowed to receive any gifts? They should be banned outright.
How else can you predict who is planning to commit a crime ?
"fast approaching" "just 5 months" Do Americans realize how insanely long their elections are? Legitimate question.
Not really. They just keep getting longer and it’s more about spending and adverts than policy development. Lots of Americans don’t know enough about foreign elections to compare.
They never truly end anymore.
Particularly for the House of Representatives.
Especially since someone announced 2 years ago to avoid being inducted and tried!
Longest election period in Canada was 90 days I believe
Really? It's literally one day every four years. Add local elections and primaries, that's like two more days a year. How long do you think elections are?
It's crazy how a guy who wasn't held accountable for sexually harassing people in the workplace thinks the rules don't apply to him. It's almost like character influences behavior, Your Honor.
Evidently the rules don’t apply to our politicians or judges, and the Supreme Court judges either!!
NOEM is code for NO-EMpathy !!
Still wonder if Orange Felon will choose Noem for VP
Ironically, the author of the James Bond series accurately predicted that the biggest threat to life on earth is super rich people whose money didn't make them happy and now their hobby is destroying the world.
I knew MTG reminded me of Rosa Klebb. Better check her shoes.
When Stephen says "Hilter napkin collector Harlan Crow," you can hear the audience begin to laugh, but then they go silent when they realize it's not a joke.
No way he is going to choose Tim Scott. He’s trying to court us Black folks but he’s not going that far.
Exactly
I disagree buckwheat tim scott is a slave he will do anything for his masters.
Tim's only qualification is that he's a minority. He isn't very bright, and can't see that he is being used by Trump.
Wisdom and truth. ✌️
Tim Scott = 🤡
20 years ago, that's the last time a Republican presidential candidate has won the popular vote.
i dont remember jr being that popular
@@cmdraftbrnhe wasn’t but had 9/11 at his back and that helped him.
@@cmdraftbrnhe was popular until DUMPHUQUE J.TЯ☭MP came along....republiKKKans needed a new god even more ruthless and destructive than Jr. and they got one.
That's what they're so afraid of now! They know they'll never win the popular vote again without the corruption! Just Sayin'!
The last acceptable republican president was in the late 50s till 61... he's the first one to warn us about how completely screwed up our nation had become... go listen to his farewell speech.
Military Industrial Congressional Complex...was what Ike and his brother Milton wrote in that speech, but they scratched out the "Congressional" word to avoid exposing their corruption.
That handwritten speech is viewable in his presidential library.
In 1945, the US took over the muscle duty for Earth's Intl Central Banking System...now we have a military base in 180+ of the 192 UN recognized nations.
DoS DoD and CIA are run by the same Intl Central Banking System... not politicians
Clarence started off reporting his billionaire sugardaddy gifts. When he took flak in the early 90's, he just stopped reporting it.
Clarence Thomas started off with being accused of sexual harassment by Anita Hill. His reputation has been going downhill ever since.
@@JohnWerner-te5zy I'd argue there was no reputation to go downhill to begin with.
I would say that that does not say anything good about his character; he chose secrecy over accountability.

@ronaldbarker5407 "The sky is blue".... Now where is my reward ?!
But all Dementiacrats are delusional.
Like fingers and thumbs.
hypocrisy is one of the finer characteristics of MAGAs.
no. Some are smart people who just start with wildly different values than you do (like certain humans are worth more than others, for example).
Then there's those MAGA that believe batshit nonsense, and still others who are so incoherent it's hard to point to a specific hypocrisy
In Australia, Mother's Day is exactly 9 months after Father's Day. Go figure!
Or to give purpose to all the SA that happens on Father’s Day. 😂 🤦♀️
Shhhh, honey it’ll be ok in 9 months it’ll be your day.
Not so! Mother's day is the second Sunday in May and Father's day is the first Sunday in September.🦘🦘
@@kaligibbs3633 I never realized that, in Australia. But, thanks for the laugh. I just looked it up, on Google. Different days than Canada.
Mother's Day - May 11th
Fathers Day - September 1.
My Dad got out of the army on New Years Day and I was born at the end of September. Is that why I love the military so much?
@@HairynosedWombat163 That's 36 weeks, 2 weeks shorter than the average conception-birth interval. Close enough for me.
SC shouldn’t be getting any gifts. Wouldn’t that be a bribe? Vote 💙
I can't believe this is happening in my lifetime. My mom was 10 when WWll hit! I feel like we might see WWlll!

Thomas would make an ideal running mate for Trumps cell mate.
Before he was a justice someone gave Bret Kavanaugh something like 90,000 to pay off debts. We still don't know who.
I think it was more like…add a 0!
I think it was me, but please don't tell enyone.
AI destroy humanity? Damn AI really is stealing all our jobs.
And the comments section.
Thanks for the laugh, I needed that.
As a Bookkeeper, I WAS replaced by QuickBooks. That is where my User-Name comes in. I went back to school because QuickBooks won my position as a Bookkeeper. "QuickBooks1" is a play on the two words, "QuickBooks Won".
And so many in the United States think immigration

🤣 *noice!*
We are literally voting for the VP. Kamala Harris has my vote.
I would definitely take her over anybody Trump is likely to pick as VP.
Stephen, your bit actually woke up the Siri on MY computer. THAT, is hilarious!
After the Anita Hill testimony, we should have known.
And so we get the government we deserve.
George .H. W. Bush could easily have withdrawn Thomas name, he chose not to. Bush was solely responsible.
As the VP candidate would not be allowed to outshine the Don in any positive way , one can only imagine what degree of retrograde they will eventually pick.
I predict he will pick the speaker of the house, he is just like Pence was. Stayed in the background and didn't say anything.
The Clear Dad bit was good, but I lost it when they said it was available "at the merch table of any Foo Fighters show"!🤣🤣🤣
People have known AI is bad for humans since Terminator, yet here we are.
Trumps VP pick is Hannibal Lector.
😂i just laughed so hard at this. Smooth one!
Its neck and neck between Lector and Hitler
Yes...."the great late Hanibal Lecter..." 🤦🏼♂️
“the late great Hannibal Lector”😂
Get it correct. The late great hannibal lector 😂
I'm not sure, but come November? I think that, as an American, I'm going to be VERY tired of America.
Meanwhile, as Stephen says, we in Europe are scared stiff that the orange one could be the next US president! Worse than Van Buren, worse than Pierce!😮
Van Buren?
@@freya8133 the wannabe disaster!
Speak for yourself. Not our president - why should we care?
TRump, unfortunately, is not the largest problem. It is his supporters. Thankfully, at least by going by comments, that number is dropping.
Fox & Forbes are the only two UA-cam channels that say differently.
I am not allowed to accept any gifts valued at more than 25.00 at my work. Come on SCOTUS.
@ 4:30 "Boof Chute" OMG that the funniest yet most stomach churning phrase I have ever heard!
Time to investigate thomas !
Another connection. Both movies were based on books written by, "Thomas Harris"! Or, am I taking that too far?

STEVE you’re the best late night.. love your ORANGATAN impressions
As an Englishman during an election campaign in the UK I can say that, that cockney accent was actually too good
I've always been amazed by how many people give up SO MUCH information to mega corporations in order to use their apps.
Also, it boggles my mind that people are willing to have Alexa or Siri ACTUALLY LISTEN 24/7 to everything in people's homes.
We are literally watching the end times of humanity!
I've never owned a phone and don't use social media. People have always tried to insult me for not using them. I wasn't afraid of anything, just wasn't interested. I'm becoming increasingly grateful to my past self for never being interested in phones or social media.
" Your mom organized the plans for both" couldn't have said it better
Most people aren't allowed to accept ANY gifts at their workplace. This practice should be stopped immediately. They hold a position in the highest court we have, so why would billionaires give these lavish gifts anyway?...we all know why...
This episode is the first explanation I've heard which sheds light on why the Washington Post suddenly got SO RED.
Yes! I knew the reporters were unhappy with the hire, but had NO idea that he was responsible for the cell phone hacking in the UK on behalf of Murdoch! I was in the UK when that was busted open. Vile
7:30 Yeah, we don’t want these Daily Mail “editors” anymore. Please take them off of us.
Happy Friday everyone!
You too. This is a good way to get into the weekend. I can't stay awake, after 11 at night, so I see these the morning after. Yes, I make sure my Coffee is out of reach.
You need to get Anita Hill on, because Ginny Thomas is likely still in denial about that whole thing, and it must have made her even crazier. It would throw a monkey wrench into their marriage. Put Anita hill in the spotlight :-))

Just for the record: We don't need no freaking AI to erase ourselves from the face of the earth, NO SIR. We are perfectly capable of getting the job done all by ourselves, thank you. Besides, judging from the quality of the Reagan mashup pic - AI is doing perfectly fine on its own...

Seriously, it not for Siri, Apple would never have made it. Now that nobody's using Siri anymore, Apple is still increasing the price of its one product, iPhone, every few months, just because they can.

Hello USA
UK here, how's it going? We're pretty bored of elections already. We've got a whole 6 WEEKS of election campaigning before the big day. Halfway there! Hanging in there..😊
Oh how I wish America would learn some things from other countries!!!
The U.S. has been campaigning since 1876.
You are bored? Pity us across the pond where it goes on forever.

I guess Trump took Kristi to the gravel pit.
Why cant AI do something for Donald Trump's intelligence or his brain??
Because even AI is smart enough to not want to touch that...
Because Trump has *no* intelligence - artificial or otherwise
It isn't intelligence that creep is in most urgent need of. It is morals, shame, and self-respect. Without that, more intelligence will only render it even more nefarious.
ordis: ERROR not a number
It tried, but the result was 'BRAIN NOT LOCATED'.
