You’d think the generous friend would feel a bit used after 20 years of no reciprocation.
A guy who has 20 Billion will not look to his friend that makes 250K a year for anything. He's making 4 or 5 times that much in interest per day...maybe way more.
Would you expect your minimum wage friend to ever pick up the tab? I wouldn't.

I'm sure he's not the only one in DC?

What does a minimum wage person have in common with a billionaire? Their paths wouldn’t even cross. Sure a person making more money might buy an extra lunch or even pick up the hotel tab. A wealthy friend wouldn’t keep a cheap, miserly friend around once they found out he never reciprocates. That would be a user. I doubt Thomas is giving the man sexual favors, you think it’s just Clarence’s charming personality that binds the friendship?

Anyone who makes 20 times more in a day (figure the daily interest on 20 Billion @ 10%) than their friend makes in a year doesn't look to them for anything.
As I said...the people complaining about Thomas are probably Racists that hate him because he is Black...and never said a thing about Clinton flying on Epstein's jet 26 times.

Thomas is a Supreme Court Justice. He is not your average $250k a year earner.

The issue is thinking these gifts/trips are "extravagant".
To commoners....yes.
To someone with TWENTY BILLION....no. That's just their regular life, and occasionally he has his dear friends Ginni & Clarence Thomas join in.

Rich, poor or in between, no one remains in an unbalanced, unequal friendship for over 20 years. What does Thomas do to show his appreciation for his friend, that is so extravagant with him? Does he buy his friend an expensive watch? Does he send Christmas presents every year? Wine of the month club? The race card isn’t in play and quite a reach. Clinton and Epstein? Is that your attempt to divert?

Yeah, they do. Why does he have to do anything. True friendships do not require quid pro quo.

Yes people are generous. Not quid pro quo but appreciation for what you do to show your affection and appreciation, especially when one party contributes above and beyond in comparison.

Just another case of Leftist double standards. The truth is that Justice Thomas drives Elite Leftist Liberals nuts since not chained to their plantation. This alone makes them bat-***** crazy since to the mind of a Liberal, this is clearly unacceptable, especially from a Black man. If I remember the last attack on Justice Thomas was that he married a White woman… Who was also a Conservative and belonged to a conservative group… Not a shock here, but the Left did their best to point this out to somehow tarnish Justice Thomas.

News Flash!! Conservative people tend to associate with other Conservatives, just like Liberal#, who mainly associate with other Liberals… Again, not a shocker here!!

If you do not believe race has anything to do with these attacks, you are not being honest with yourself.

FYI, Justice Thomas isn’t going anywhere, so you need to get over this AND maybe practice some of your own statements of acceptance… Even if this means accepting somebody with a reasonable view that differs from yours.

Btw, the Left has been attacking Justice Thomas for DECADES and he is still there… God luck in trying to force him out over some BS. If the Liberals are so focused on Conservative Justices, may, just maybe Conservatives need to focus on Liberal Justices and “I” they’re doing the same thing, just like most members of Congress.
