@summersun704 @Kirk @Lino0876 @oldladyplays It's not just about privacy. It's about the appearance of wrongdoing when you take upon yourself the role of office and/or you present yourself as somehow righteous when everyone else who's not on your side is wicked.

@Kirk @Lino0876 @summersun704 @oldladyplays There's all kinds of places to find out. My point isn't about the other side, it's about *your* side. This time it happens to be Clarence Thomas. What he's done or not done doesn't become OK just because both parties do it. It's not OK no matter who does it. I thought Alma and I were pretty clear about that?

@Lino0876 @summersun704 @Kirk @oldladyplays OK but that's not an excuse for not calling it out, especially when it's your team doing it. Only calling out bad things when it's the other team doing them is about as morally bankrupt as it gets.

@summersun704 @Lino0876 @oldladyplays I'm honestly surprised they haven't automated that entire process by now. This includes things like resetting login credentials. Good grief it's 2023 and everybody else has automated by now.

@summersun704 @Kirk @Lino0876 @oldladyplays Whether or not I agree with someone's politics is irrelevant. Bribery is bribery, and it's not cool no matter who's taking the bribes.

@Lino0876 @summersun704 @oldladyplays You can get a lot through NFB Newsline if you've signed up for that, not sure about Epic Times.

@Lino0876 @oldladyplays Also, please do not address me by my last name as if it's the only name I have. It's disrespectful, and furthermore it's disrespect I haven't earned from you.

@Lino0876 @oldladyplays It's … all over the place. Everybody from defenders of Thomas to detractors does not dispute this has happened, only whether or not it's bad. I'm not the one who started this conversation, you did, and I'm not going to do your research for you.

@Lino0876 @oldladyplays Accepting thousands of dollars in gifts and money and then trying to hide that fact when you're supposed to disclose that stuff is pretty corrupt, and it doesn't matter who does it.
