2020 Election Schadenfeude Thread

Add me to the list of those who feel your pain. Not a pleasant situation at all, I’m sure.

Fox called it. Trump is cooked. He’ll never go in public again without someone pointing a finger and saying “YOU’RE FIRED”

I hate Fox.

Except today :grin:

Trump’s statement (full of lies, of course) is a bit of schadenfreude:

“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.

Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access.

So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.”

Here, this is what I’m talking about: I’ve just received a report from reliable sources (aka my wife) that Biden plans on instituting a national lockdown as soon as he takes office.

When I surreptitiously look this up online, I find the he has announced the EXACT opposite. Bad is good! Black is white!

“Four legs good. Two legs b̶a̶d̶ better!”

Irony alert: checking Fox for political facts.

Truthfully, even at Fox, there’s a gap between the news side and the opinion side. I really don’t think opinion should be called news though. It’s almost like a newspaper being two companies that share a piece of paper, which makes even less sense now that few people read physical newspapers.

Don and the MAGA folks just need a couple of rallies to get back in the groove. Donald loves his rallies a lot more than the job of POTUS

Is this in the right vein, or are you looking for people more accepting of reality?

I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2020

This is from this morning, a little before PA was called.

Both! Bring it all to me and shoot it into my veins!

A plethora…

A gentleman from Puerto Rico throws a paper towel pack over the WH fence.

Anderson coopers worst nightmare :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Said shop has dildo madness nights. Also one of those shops was actually across the street, but within plain view…

I haven’t been able to find the full press conference on video yet. I anticipate pain in my sides.

Almost makes me forget the makeup of the Senate.

For some of the strangest schadenfreude I’ve ever seen, check out Voat’s Q site. These folks are convinced that all of this is part of Trump’s plan.

Self appointed guru of electoral predictions and Trump toady Scott Adams (the creator of Dilbert) appears broken.

So he is now at the bargaining level. His latest idea is that Trump has the Democrats in his hands because he will demand an audit of the voting systems and then go away peacefully, instead of going all scorched earth on his last months. It seems that Adams does think that the Democrats are deluded by expecting Trump to make a mess of things before leaving on January 20. So Trump “the genius” will figure out that he will use that faulty idea of the Democrats so as to win a way to demonstrate fraud in the election… :roll_eyes:

Any moment now… Adams dissonance seems to be that he can still think of Trump as a genius and that fraud took place, while Addams congratulates Biden for winning at the same time.

It sucks for Adams theory that Trump is right now reaching for the scorched earth solution (ineffective so far) with no bargaining coming from Trump.

Its almost as if he forgets what pointy-haired bosses are like.

The recent storm tore down the biggest Trump sign from the neighbor’s fence and put a big crimp in it as well (it’s lying on the other side of the road). I’m waiting to see if he puts it up again or takes it as a message from the gods…

< shaking my head >
He put the sign up again.

Here’s Newt Gringrich talking about how 538 never learns anything, a few days before the election. Go to 1:46 if you don’t want to watch the whole thing.
