A report from The New York Times details yet another luxury obtained by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas using funds from a wealthy associate. In this instance, it's been revealed that he purchased a Prevost Marathon RV in 1999, using $267,230 received from Anthony Welters, a former executive at UnitedHealthCare who worked alongside Thomas in the Reagan administration, per the outlet. In a statement on the matter, Welters said that the funds were considered a loan and that it has since been "satisfied," avoiding the phrasing "paid off," which means it could have been a gift that would have then needed to be disclosed

Man, I want a job where people just give me six figures in addition to my salary and I can do whatever the fuck I want with it.

"Good afternoon Bob.".
"Good afternoon, Soda. How's the family?".
"Doing great, not affected by anything I do at work at all.".
"That's great, Soda. Oh by the way here's $300,000"
"Nice, thank you Bob. I'll see you around."
