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

#IHopeJohnRoberts dreams he's died and is now a faint, unhuman-shaped, almost Dalek-like ghost wandering stiffly through the backstage of his whole life, moving from scene to scene at will and tasting his past experiences, not re-experiencing them but just sort of impartially tasting what his life was like, and then finally getting bored of his own life begins tasting other people's lives, part of a crowd of similar mechanistic ghosts jostling around each other emotionally tasting each other's lives after having tired of their own, and so beginning the slow thinning of the sense of self that eventually leads to total dissolution (which explains why our planet isn't overwhelmed by billions of really old ghosts), and then an ambulance screams by Roberts' motel and he awakens with a start and is sad that he has to start experiencing his own life again.
When he wakes up in his cheap Kansas City motel this morning,
#IHopeJohnRoberts discovers that most of his shirts and all of his socks and underwear are dirty so he quite resiliently washes them in the bathroom sink with some of the shampoo the hotel provides and hangs them over the various drying bars and feels proud of himself until he realizes that he now has no socks or underwear for the next few hours, so when he leaves his room to find some breakfast he's going commando in grey wool slacks and a raggy Harvard Law t-shirt he usually sleeps in, sockless in dress shoes with a hole in one sole. -

@albnelson Hey, I'm absolutely open to suggestions for things Roberts should do, or things that should happen to him, in KC! In this thread I've already had him eat brisket, visit the castle, and get mugged.

@FiddleSix I adore you for that.

I read that news earlier and knowing John is wandering sockless and commando whilst in an apathetic state, I wondered if the orders are being signed with a sharpie.

@Crowjane I was waiting and waiting for real life to throw me this curve. I was waiting for it. Boom!

As he strolls through Kansas City looking for a low-profile breakfast joint, #IHopeJohnRoberts quickly realizes that going commando in damp wool slacks isn't exactly helping his jock itch problem.

@albnelson What will he see at the museum that might be funny, embarrassing, or mildly harmful?

@FiddleSix @msbellows This storyline seems somehow more real than the one we are actually being subjected to.

@Devils_Rancher @FiddleSix @msbellows impossible to distinguish from reality. Equally plausible and definitely less depressing.

When he ducks into a low-rent diner to grab what he believes is an incognito fast breakfast, #IHopeJohnRoberts is recognized by an astute immigrant working in the kitchen, who quickly removes a dead rat from the trap in the alley, runs it through the meat grinder, bones and teeth and fur and all, and sautés it for inclusion in the Chief Justice's omelette.
(Yeah, some days it's a little challenging to keep this thread light and amusing. This is one of those days, because fuck that guy.)

@vervain It frustrates me that the No Kings protests were mostly older folks like me. One of my two kids was out multiple nights for the Rodney King protests in Portland, but for some reason didn't come to a single No Kings, when honestly they were even more important. We need to figure out how to motivate everyone to fill the streets every single night and demand that this end now. Not only would it force the administration to step back and recalculate, but it also might give some spine to Jeffries and Schumer.
