A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 1)

He’s being advised to do this but we know how well he responds to advice.

I’m certainly willing to see him try.

And he is being told that he is the reason why the GOP suffered as badly as it did this midterm. He has only this one last chance to prove the haters wrong!

I’m copying this from a neighbouring thread because it fits better here:

A strange election, this was. Trump is “livid”* and shouting at Melania because she advised him badly about Dr. Oz, many people claim. I will quote the Independent , though I could have even quoted Faux News, all found in my search engine.
And even a D candidate who had been dead for weeks won 86% of the vote! Had he been alive he would have easily won 120-140%! Under this circumstances I almost feel sorry for the Rs. Almost, but not quite. Or should this be best ** told in the schadenfreude thread?

* I think it is funny that livid means four completely different things , three of them colours, but the website even explains why this is historically so. I think the quotable sources all mean the fourth meaning in this case.
** © Melania, I guess. Although I actually don’t care, do you?

Hopefully someone will put out ads noting the stock market moving up as the nation breathes a sigh of relief that the GOP (maybe) doesn’t control Congress and Trump has been wounded.

Here’s Trumps response. He’s implying that Oz made a mistake by not being an election denier.

I am blaming our great First Lady, Melania, and Sean Hannity

Great misuse of an Oxford comma.

He calls Melania a former First Lady. So he agrees he isn’t President anymore!

And then there’s this:

Apparently announcement day is… for now… Tuesday:

Or he’s just getting divorced again. :wink:

Of all the Trump endorsed candidates who lost, how many were in favor of extreme abortion restrictions? I would guess that this is the main reason that they lost, incidentally they were endorsed by Trump.
I believe that Republicans who now feel that Trump is a liability are missing the forest for the trees.

Not that I in any way want to support, defend, or agree with TFG, but that is a (correct) use of the appositive, and not a misuse of the Oxford comma.

“While in certain ways yesterday’s election was somewhat disappointing …”

From what I hear from Maggie Haberman, citing multiple sources, the “somewhat disappointing” bit could be objectively measured in the number of ketchup-laden dishes thrown at the wall. Election night sounded like maybe a five-pitcher. For a while there the orange shit-gibbon was more red than orange. :rofl:

I think one entire ketchup-pitch was motivated by his boy Oz losing, and maybe a second one following Oz’s surprisingly graceful concession, which by contrast made Trump look like the petulant child that he is.

Now that’s a red wave!

Federal judge sanctions Trump lawyers, fines them $50,000 for bad faith litigation in Florida.

I think you were whooshed; that Melania and Hannity shared the title of First Lady. Due to Hannity acting like he was married to Trump, acting the devoted wife on the air. (Or maybe they are the same person somehow.)

That is delightful news.

May all attorneys who consider working for Trump, take note.

He should go door-to-door and solicit votes for Walker, too.

(In a golf cart, of course.)

Heh, I like your interpretation! But, actually I was poking at the unindicted co-conspirator’s awkward phrasing–using an appositive comma where an Oxford comma is often used invites all sorts of humorous miscommunications. I’m the sort of nerdy grammarian who likes to point such things out, and I’m not the only one. :smiley:

Sorry, @commasense, I should’ve put in a winkie smile to make clear I wasn’t being earnest.

More of this, please!

It’s possible for a party to have more than one liability, you know.
