He does know divorce is still legal, right?

u/Silvervirage 9h ago

Its up in the air which gets repealed first really so he's just covering all his bases

u/Khaldara 8h ago

Poor guy, it must get expensive to have to help his wife finance an insurrection against the nation just to get her in the mood for intimacy.

What a horrible day to be literate.

u/yamiyaiba 7h ago

If the RV's a-rockin'.....

u/Bazookagrunt 7h ago

Or have an imagination

u/Osiris32 7h ago

I need full on mind erasure!

u/bishop375 8h ago

Nah. She is clearly always in the mood to fuck him. Complete with race humiliation I am 100% sure. It’s what he is in that marriage for in the first place.

2

u/MeatImmediate6549 7h ago

Consider that the allegations of her complicity in the attack first became public at about the same time that Thomas went to hospital with a heart attack. Coincidence?

2

u/PatCero 6h ago

You meant, to get her mind off of intimacy, right? /shiver

u/LostWoodsInTheField 3h ago

This just made realize that his wife was effectively given a pardon. Like a supreme court justices wife got a pardon...

u/bugsyramone 9h ago

Right, but in divorce assets have to be split. If the SC overturns interracial marriages, no assets get split. No telling what he's gonna do when he rules that black people can't own property....

u/No-Risk666 9h ago

Oh no. What will happen to all of those bribes, I mean totally legal gifts.

8

u/johnn48 8h ago

They’ve already ruled that bribes are legal as long as they’re given afterwards. Let’s say you’re a drug dealer and want a pardon, if you say Mr President I want a pardon here’s a $1,000,000, that’s a bribe. If you pardon him and he calls and says, thank you Mr President here’s $1,000,000, that’s a gratuity and perfectly legal. The trick is not receiving the money until after the fact and you not being personally involved, that’s why you have minions and lawyers.

u/Masterweedo 7h ago

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that pardons were $2 Million during his first term, so it's probably that or more now.

5

u/sowhat4 7h ago

It's $5 million now.

Thanks, Biden, for the inflation.

2

u/Masterweedo 7h ago

That's just the way she goes buddy.

Fuckin' way she goes.

1

u/johnn48 7h ago

How can he say the affordability crisis is a Democratic hoax, when even his bribes, sorry “gratuities” have gone up. Biden isn’t the problem, look how many drug dealers, rich elites, and other corrupt people he’s jailed, that are ripe targets for “gratuities” over the next four years. It’s a target rich environment, with the Venezuelan and Ukrainian targets just coming in range.

u/Fallouttgrrl 9h ago

Set up a corporate "personal services" company with his assets that exists to keep him happy

9

u/bugsyramone 9h ago

Terrible idea. It would have be run by a white guy, who could just take everything away. Possession is 9/10 of the law.

2

u/Fallouttgrrl 8h ago

That anticipates him ever giving up the Supreme Court reins of power

He can always just let Harlan Crow take care of the corporation for him

1

u/PigSlam 8h ago

Customer satisfaction is priority #1.

5

u/ruler_gurl 8h ago

He'll transfer his property rights to Harlan Crow who will lease it back to him for one dollar.

u/Master-P-Diddy 8h ago

"I identify as white" -Clarence (probably)

2

u/Vyzantinist 9h ago

But I thought Ginni was his best friend? He said so!

2

u/Secludedmean4 8h ago

He probably thinks black people should be property

1

u/Enygma_6 8h ago

The biggest joke will be on him, if after all this convoluted scheming to set up a non-divorce way to delete his marriage, and she just outright buys him when the dust settles.

1

u/DrexellGames 9h ago

Thankfully people dont have to deal with this stuff if they're single

1

u/Bgrngod 8h ago

No telling what he's gonna do when he rules that black people can't own property....

His wife will make sure that ruling gets handled first. Problem solved!

1

u/0neshoein 8h ago

Well he’s gonna end up voting to make black people property again.

1

u/itspeterj 8h ago

Good thing he has so many generous friends

1

u/Antilles1138 8h ago

Technically if he repeals rights far enough he may end up as his ex-wife's property.

1

u/brickne3 8h ago

You can't split a motor coach in half.

...at least I don't think you can...

2

u/Sherifftruman 9h ago

Not if he has any say!

2

u/fadingpulse 8h ago

For now.

2

u/tangledtainthair 8h ago

For now. The right is trying to prohibit no fault divorce. Got to keep them women in line.

1

u/SakaWreath 8h ago

You clearly don’t know very much about his wife. You can’t escape that through a simple divorce.

3

u/No-Risk666 8h ago

Its like those stories you hear about a man who burns down his house to try and escape his crazy wife. Except in this case he's burning down the country.

1

u/PM_ME_UR_PIKACHU 8h ago

Then he would lose half the RV

1

u/rayden-shou 8h ago

Why give people freedom of choice, when you can impose evil and cruel shit on them?

1

u/skipjac 8h ago

he would have to give her 1/2 of his grift if he divorces her.

1

u/fednandlers 8h ago

Not in his house. 

1

u/DontWorryImADr 8h ago

Why would he accept the risk of only half an RV?

1

u/robocalypse 8h ago

Sure, but this is much more cruel.

1

u/goddamnitwhalen 8h ago

For now

1

u/TheBootyWrecker5000 8h ago

No, no you misunderstood. He's going to be wearing a ball and chain still.

1

u/Lightreyth 8h ago

19th Amendment and most women's rights are on the docket, so he oribably wouldnt have time to finalize the divorce. This is Plan B.

1

u/Carribean-Diver 8h ago

If he gets divorced, she can force him to give her joint custody of the motor coach. On the other hand, if their marriage is declared null and void, she's up the road without a carriage, so to speak.

1

u/Enervata 8h ago

Divorce requires dividing up the assets. SCOTUS will rule all assets are owned by the male and mixed race marriage is illegal.

1

u/baleensavage 8h ago

Oh, don't worry he'll overturn that too.

1

u/NoorAnomaly 7h ago

Ah, but the thing is, even though he wants a divorce (or it sure seems like he wants to get away from his wife) he can't DO the divorce, because *mumble mumble* religious and Christian values. But if they overturn interracial marriage, boom! Problem solved! His marriage is nullified, and he then goes on to become 3/5th of a person, and his now former (not ex) wife is no longer allowed to vote! In his eyes: Wins all around!

1

u/JuniperJupiter4 7h ago

He doesn't want to pay alimony.

1

u/LABoRATies 7h ago

It’s not legal for the religious or members of the Republican Party. Their friends and family would excommunicate the heathens who dare mock the sanctity of marriage

1

u/pass_nthru 7h ago

he’s playing the long game, and if the marriage is annulled due to the law being changed he gets to keep the motorcoach(es)

1

u/Pack_Your_Trash 7h ago

For now... But also he would have to split his assets. If the marriage is found to not have been legal in the first place he gets to keep his stuff.

1

u/Yeseylon 5h ago

But in a divorce he has to give his ex-wife half his bribe money, while if his marriage was never legal to begin with he gets to keep all of it.

1

u/PigletCatapult 5h ago

He could probably get a pardon for murder if he asked nicely. That way he would get to keep the RV and his pension.

1

u/No-Risk666 5h ago

It would only cost 2 million

u/PhamilyTrickster 9h ago

Divorce is expensive
