He's used the term "butter(ed) biscuit" in the past to refer to Blacks behaving like Uncle Toms. Past context clues suggest that Stachel himself is African American, so he might be using a term that's unfamiliar in mainstream white culture.

True and thanks. Sometimes when referring to butter biscuits, we use the abbreviated term with the understanding that the butter part is understood. I’ve known of that biscuit since he tried to hem up a friend of mine in a Project Veritas sting in Dallas several years ago.

So when Digital Underground says "I'm the one who said just grab 'em in the biscuits" how does this make sense?  Or is this like "you be illing" from RUNDMC and Eazy-E's take "Bored as hell and I wanna get ill."  where the regional context may have lead the slang to be used in two different meanings depending on how it is said, or where it is said.    Clearly, I need David Foster Wallace type essay on this.

This post reminds me of the time that I, a person originally from Oak Cliff who grew up in a very diverse neighborhood of Dallas and graduated from a majority minority high school got chided when I used commonplace language I grew up with for “appropriating AAVE” by my daughter, a college Sophomore from Central Austin who attends the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

Do you have to pay taxes on gifts like that ?

[Red Five 40,862]

This GOP led Supreme Court sure is going well. It’s almost like they can’t be trusted with anything.

[Brisketexan 105,157]

Do you have to pay taxes on gifts like that ?

Yes.
Chances that he paid said taxes? Below zero.
Chances that the GQP senate will hold him accountable? Even lower.
He’s going to take open bribes, rub our noses in it, and say “what are you gonna do about it, pussies?” He’s a criminal, protected by criminals.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13,515]

Either the House or the DOJ should be investigating to determine if there have been criminal actions potentially leading to impeachment proceedings against Thomas. He will refuse to cooperate but who cares.

im tired of reading how he claims that other judicial officials told him that he didn’t have to report the gifts. What kind of defense is that?

[kevwun 15,798]

Judge's shouldn't even be able to accept gifts.  It's so ripe for corruption that it's hard to believe it's taken so long for something like this to come to light.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13,515]

These stories are all clear that in some of the findings are based on what Thomas ultimately disclosed when presented with facts. There is really no reason to believe that he hasn’t taken more gifts up to and including cash or other assets. Or gifts that were provided to his wife or other family members.

[kevwun 15,798]

His vote on cases is clearly for sale.  This is the kind of shit we used to see in third world countries and shake our head about.

I couldn't care less about what the Senate does.  The IRS needs to open an audit and nail his ass.  Hey to Al Capone.

[Nivek 16,945]

Amazing how the highest superior legal minds supposedly are befuddled by forms, disclosure, and ethics.   Even an idiotic non-lawyer would tend to default to disclosure in order to maintain the appearance of integrity. 

These chucklefucks cannot even get their story straight, preside on fraudulent cases, and accept bribes,  because there is no accountability.    If I were POTUS, I would move their offices to some embassy in  a conflict nation.

They can’t. While in office, he’s only subject to impeachment.

Remember when the worst thing we thought Thomas did was discuss porn with a female subordinate and maybe put pubic hair on a Coke can?

Dick Durbin and the Dems on the Senate Judiciary Committee are fucking the dog so hard on this. They should be loudly investigating every failed disclosure as a potential crime (because each is a crime), subpoenaing Thomas and Alito (and others if they find anything remotely suspicious), holding public hearings when the justices refuse to show up, and making criminal referrals to the DOJ. Shit, Republicans do that for fake crimes they've invented in their heads, Dems should absolutely do it for real crimes committed by fucking SCOTUS justices. And it'd be incredibly easy. It's not like Thomas and Alito have done a good job covering their tracks, these assholes have thought they're above the law for fucking decades and been acting like it the whole time. But the Dems are too chickenshit to do actual politics, even when it would be such an easy issue to get big political wins on.

These numbers are after appointment to SCOTUS.  Brett's debt was wiped away by Donkey Dong Doug prior to appointment.

[kevwun 15,798]

Yeah, they cleared all of his debts so that it wouldn't become an issue during his confirmation hearings.  It's still crooked shit.

Woah, woah, woah…..   are we saying the IRS can’t elect to audit him as a citizen?  There would be just cause at this point.   I presume if he shot someone he is going to jail. He can go to jail for tax evasion too a la Al Capone, too.  Congress may not be able to do shit but I presume the IRS or, presumably, the Virginia state tax authority, could be interested in whether his tax returns note those gifts.  Now, I imagine there is a way to suggest they aren’t taxable or can be diced up in a way to avoid any thresholds that require tax.  
 

This is all wishcasting but I can’t believe Supreme Court justices are immune to prosecution for state or federal crimes, even if it doesn’t lose them their seat without impeachment.

I want that stuff included. I do realize it was prior to the appointment, but we know why he got it paid. Man have we failed so miserably as a country to be in this position with the highest court in the land.

My bad, and I was unclear - SCOTUS justices can be subjected to criminal process, but they can only be removed from office via impeachment.  So, you could have a convicted felon SCOUTS justice, possibly in prison...and he would hold his seat unless he was impeached and convicted by the Senate (which will never, ever happen - for fuck's sake, that party is nominating a convicted felon for POTUS).

Every year I have to take corporate ethics training and one of the things they always bring up is how we aren’t allowed to accept gifts from clients. Somehow this doesn’t apply to SCOTUS.

If Alito and Thomas want to still decide cases from a federal prison I guess I would be ok with that.
