John Oliver Tries Comedy with $1M Clarence Thomas Bribe: Still Not Funny

John Oliver's unsuccessful attempt at humor, proposing to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an annual $1 million payment and a $2 million tour bus for his resignation, veers towards theatrical partisan tactics rather than genuine political critique. Oliver positions himself as a satirical commentator, leveraging this grand gesture to spotlight the ethical controversies surrounding Thomas, including undisclosed gifts and a perceived lack of impartiality tied to key Supreme Court rulings.
