I think the NYT recently found that his quarter-million-dollar custom RV was bought with a private loan given to him by a "friend."
Having trouble finding the article though.

So, Hunter Biden haters, what’s the dollar limit a Republican has to hit before you get mad enough to demand jail time for them?

I think the Supreme Court's internal ethics review consists of the saying, "Hear no evil, See no evil, and Try not to get caught because we will have to double down on hearing and seeing no evil."

I imagine it is probably worth substantially less than the $60,000/week private yacht stay, or the $260,000 private jet airfare, or the $200,000 Algar Association membership, or the $267,000 custom RV, or...

I agree! He should never have been confirmed in the first place! Justices Alito and Kavanaugh also deserve to be impeached in my opinion. More and more damaging evidence of their corruption is coming is coming to light. It seems more and more apparent that they and possibly Barrett and Gorsuch may have dominionistic sympathies who might favor the idea of turning our democracy into a doctrinaire theocracy like in
The Handmaid's Tale, if they could somehow get away with it. I think the least dishonorable of the currently sitting conservative Justices is probably John Roberts, but recent disclosures about him and some of his decisions (especially the most recent) have tended to erode away much of the respect I once had for him. There seems little room for doubt that all of the current conservative Justices are to some degree (if not entirely) owned by powerful and wealthy corporate interests.
It seems glaringly apparent to me that Trump has consistently sought out some of the most corruptible and least ethical and most obsequious individuals he could find for many of his appointees, with little regard for competence or qualifications needed for their positions.
