Anyone else getting a bit tired of the plethora of GOP scandals that continually make the news? Imagine the ones that don't.

I was randomly reminded of the TV series ‘Scandal’ and how fantastic its first season was… and its further ones very much not. I never even finished the third, with only two episodes to go, AFAIR.

The best thing to come out of season two onwards was the following quote. For obvious reasons. ;)

“You get that high, it’s probably not even a person. It’s a super-secret brain being kept alive in a bowl jello.” #Scandal

A quotation from Byron, George Gordon, Lord:

«««««
But ye — who never felt a single thought⁠
For what our Morals are to be, or ought;
Who wisely wish the charms you view to reap,
Say — would you make those beauties quite so cheap?
Hot from the hands promiscuously applied,
Round the slight waist, or down the glowing side,
Where were the rapture then to clas…

SCOTUS Justice #ElenaKagan turns down #free #bagels to avoid #ethics #scandal as #ClarenceThomas rides around on #yachts. "women who attended high school w Kagan wanted to send her bagels, lox from legendary bakery on Lower East Side. But the justice put kibosh on bagel delivery, due to her concerns about Court’s ethics rules." So there is a measure for #legalethics #judcial #conduct and #SCOTUS. Yes the corruption has no end with #ClarenceThomas but not Kagan https://www.queerty.com/elena-kagan-turns-down-free-bagels-to-avoid-ethics-scandal-as-clarence-thomas-rides-on-private-jets-20230511

For everyone who is shocked (shocked I tell you!) at the whole PwC being unethical arsehats... well they've got form, so I am so unsurprised.

That one, who by the Servant of the Servants

⁠Where he has left his sin-excited nerves.

“It appears to be a #fake #campaign solicitation, designed to just #profit personally from someone. That’s #brazen in a way that’s off the #charts."

More brazen than even what #trump did during /his/ campaign. No wonder trump loved him so much. :eyeroll:

Hi Herschel,
It was good talking with you today. After our call,_
reached out to me and
said __ clarified with you that any funds sent to the HA Talent account cannot
legally be used for political purposes. Political contributions must go to either the
Team Hershel or 34N22 accounts. As such, we will send $5,800 to Team Hershel
($2,900 each) and $94,200 to the 34N22 account tomorrow. Kyle and Kevin will
likely do the same. However, we will need your assistance to get the prior
contributions made to the HR Talent account in March corrected.
Thanks Herschel.

Guess who was covering up a #SexualAbuse case at the same time the #Tennessee Three were getting kicked out of the #legislature??

Just guess!¹

And before you cry "hypocrisy!" remember that #hypocrisy is the #currency of #fascists. #Republicans don't care about it because it makes what they're doing *easier*.

¹It was the Republicans. But you knew that.

Listening to Legal AF by MeidasTouch (Right Wing Justices on Supreme Court Embroiled in MASSIVE Ethical Scandals): https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/chrt.fm/track/537745/pscrb.fm/rss/p/pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/MTH4229881859.mp3?updated=1682898213

Michael Popok of Legal AF reports on the brewing ethical scandals on the US Supreme Court embroiling right wing Justices Gorsuch, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Roberts, as the Chief Justice thumbs his nose at the Senate Judiciary and issues a watered down “ethical statement “ that most of them have already violated.

RACIST TEXT MESSAGES SENT BY THE ANTIOCH POLICE DEPARTMENT, 2019 - 2022 

She looks like an Arabian nights cum dumpster. 

But we kill more Mexicans than anything else. So Blacks can feel safe. 

I sometimes just say people gave me a full confession when they didn't. Gets filed easier. 

What am I doing right now? I'm violating civil rights. 

I'm only stopping them cuz they black. 

I'll bury that N*&*er in my fields. 

No, I was talking about George Floyd. You know, the gorilla who died. 

If Pittsburg PD didn't have all those body cams and that was us ... we would have fucked him up more. 

I'll buy someone a prime rib dinner at House of Prime Rib to 40 that mfr during the protest today.

The tankies at Amnesty International are just as corrupt and loathsome as you expected:
"@amnesty commissioned an independent review of its deeply flawed Ukraine report published last year, and then lobbied to soften the review and buried it when the findings showed the human rights org had badly botched the report. "

#BFM journalist #RachidMBarki suspended in #scandal linked to #disinformation firm - #BBCNews

"The second report, broadcast in mid-December, was about a leafleting campaign in #Paris accusing a former state prosecutor in #Qatar of corruption.
When originally shown in the early hours of the morning, the reports would have gone almost unobserved.
But that changed when they were picked up by #SocialMedia and #TeamJorge's massed avatars. Suddenly they were viral."

Wow, Premier Ford's developer corruption scandal sure got pushed down and into smaller fonts. How convenient for Ford's backers who are also Tory's backers but only make money off of Ford's decisions.
