Everyone deserves a safe space, and the private jets, yachts and estates of right-wing, politically active billionaires just happen to be the safe spaces of Republican SCOTUS justices. Nothing to see here, folks.
That was delicious fun. James Holzhauer roasted him mercilessly in a tweet over on that other site.
Can't fool me. This is ~exactly~ what someone with a warehouse full of weed would say.
