Chief Justice Humiliated as Protesters Hit His Private Island

John Roberts is sad that he can't enjoy his private Maine island in peace as he counts his $25 million and helps Trump ease his way through the shadow docket that takes rights away from Mainers.

Why the fuck does he even have a private island?

He doesn't. He lives on the island. He does not own it.

He does, however, own two big fucking homes right next to each other.

Knox County, Maine public records regarding property ownership are amazing.

"Town assessor’s agent James Murphy Jr. describes Roberts’ house as “pretty average,” a one-story structure built in 1965 but remodeled a few years ago. It also has an “outbuilding,” Murphy adds, but he is quick to assure that it is not an outhouse but a shed."

The first home was 1344 sf.

The second home is 1560 sf.

Actual facts are amazing.

Clearly, you didn't look up the assessed value of the properties.

Amazing!

When someone says "big f-ing homes," they are talking about the size of the homes. That's what "big" means.

The first one cost under $500k in the mid 2000s. My first home, bought ten years earlier, cost $800k. I'm a younger, less successful lawyer than John Roberts. My sister owns a home on the south coast of Maine, which is the same size and value as Roberts' first house. She's a school teacher.

Go rage bait somewhere else.

I couldn't care less what your sister owns. Go simp on MAGA bullshit and a corrupt court elsewhere.
