I hope John Roberts can't watch the NFL playoff games today because he has explosive diarrhea.

@955_36 @msbellows which kind of defeats the whole purpose of mail-in ballots, doesn’t it?
But that’s the point.
@grammasaurus @msbellows It's still faster than voting in person.

@grammasaurus @955_36 Here in Oregon, they mail our ballots to us at home, which allows us to research and really think about our choices and fill them out at our leisure, and then we can either mail them back or drop them in ballot drops that work exactly like the big mailboxes and our scattered everywhere throughout the state. Our closest is at the city hall 6 minutes away. It's still infinitely better than in-person voting because you don't have to wait in line or vote on a specific day, so they can't screw Democratic precincts by limiting ballots or voting machines or surrounding the polling place with ICE agents on that one day.

@msbellows @grammasaurus Pretty much how California does it. We can also sign up for ballot tracking, so you know when it was put in the mail from the county, and when they get it back whether you mail it or drop it off.
What I've advocated for is that your ballot should have a serial number you can tear off, and then after the polls close and ballots are counted you could go to a web site and how your specific ballot was tabulated. Republicans of course would be against any real proposal that would help eliminate election fraud.

I hope John Roberts' mail carrier intentionally fails to deliver his mail today.

I hope the five Supreme Court justices who didn't attend the State of the Union last night instead went out for bowling and cocktails and had a really nice time and in hindsight John Roberts feels like he made the wrong choice about how to spend his evening.

I hope John Roberts wore his favorite old Led Zeppelin concert tee to bed last night like pajamas and this morning when he was taking it off it tore really badly right across Robert Plant's face.

@msbellows I kinda imagine that Robert's fave concert tee would be for a white christian gospel boy group whose every song has anodyne lyrics praising tradwives and false piety. I just can't see him as a Zep fan. (although I like the "face Plant" play)

I hope John Roberts needs to call the Mexican embassy for some information about a travel visa for a future vacation and the automated system says for instructions in English press 2 and he presses 2 because he doesn't speak Spanish and then the voice continues in Spanish but with a British accent.

I hope John Roberts' knee hurts really badly for no obvious reason so he limps everywhere he walks today and he has no idea why but damn it *really* hurts.

I hope John Roberts throws up a little in his mouth today.

I hope John Roberts lost track of the days over the weekend and fell asleep last night thinking it was still Saturday and slept in this morning and was relaxing in his easy chair with a cup of coffee when the phone rang with a frantic clerk wondering where the hell he was.
@msbellows I hope he has some non-fatal but exceedingly discomfiting and painful medical problem.

(Digression: obscene decisions like this are why, in this thread, I'm making it a practice to curse U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts every single day: https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-transgender-students-california-cca311ae39d267f31c1392a0bcf780cd
I've been a lawyer for nearly four decades. I've been PROUD to be a lawyer! On the day I graduated from law school I was privileged to shake hands with our commencement speaker, the outstanding liberal justice William F. Brennan. Lawyers and jurists like Brennan have been responsible for much of the social progress America slowly made through most of the 20th century, and I foolishly thought that that progress would mostly continue.
John Roberts represents the betrayal of that proud tradition. More broadly, John Roberts represents everything that is wrong with privilege and whiteness and toxic maleness and greed. So yes, I curse John Roberts, in small ways and large, every single fucking day. Because he has betrayed a noble calling, and the instant there's someone in the Oval Office who won't make Eileen Cannon chief justice, my final curse will be a general, passive wish for John Roberts to die painfully and slowly (but not too slowly).
But until then I curse him creatively, trying to bring a little humor to my rage.)

@msbellows ***non lawyer makes notes on what is acceptable to wish upon those you despise, but which will avoid a libel lawsuit or visit from someone with a badge and gun 🤪

@msbellows
Fair point. I tend to be swayed by the shortness of my expected future I guess, and really should have more regard for those that will have to endure the consequences of my short term wishes. My bad.
