991764Earlier this week, Jonathan Turley’s thirst for attention led him to go on TV to describe “car loan payments” as corruption that “none of us have seen the likes of.” Turley is, of course, an idiot. But it did get us thinking: what are the rules for paying back money you’ve borrowed? So we’ve created this helpful annotated guide!

Loan decision tree

1 Clarence Thomas took money from Harlan Crow to pay tuition for the grandnephew that the justice considers “as a son.”

2 Despite hollering to every news outlet available about the irresponsibility of students seeking federal student loans forgiveness, multiple conservative legislators actually took big bucks in federal PPP loans and took the option of just pocketing the money.

3 Back to Clarence Thomas. The justice had a health care executive buy him an RV. It was styled as a loan… but it was just a gift.

4 Thomas took half a million in free vacations that we know of.

5 Sam Alito takes private jets to luxury resorts with billionaire litigants. It’s just a bottomless cesspool!

7 And, yes, Turley’s complaint about Hunter Biden.
