Many on the left are up in arms over the non-story of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas taking three trips last year aboard a plane owned by a Republican megadonor. But I haven’t heard anyone complaining about President Joe Biden spending nearly a week at the Lake Tahoe house of a Democratic megadonor. I think we all can agree that the office of president has more power than a Supreme Court justice, yet where’s the outrage?

Stuff like this goes on 24/7, but only one party seems to get all the negative attention. Kind of makes you wonder.
