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

This just in! Breaking News!
There’s a new Randy Rainbow video!! Grumpy Trumpy Felon from Jamaica in Queens! - A Randy Rainbow Song Parody - YouTube

This measurement (“a perfectly reasonable amount”) is at least as characterized by scientific rigor as are the proceedings of the United States Supreme Court.

I would cite, specifically, the 1964 pronouncement by Justice Potter Stewart in the landmark Jacobellis v. Ohio, 378 U.S. 184 decision, in which Stewart famously said of hard-core pornography:

Just so with the particular and precise amount of schadenfreude which is Perfectly Reasonable.

Thanks for that. Had me laughing out loud!

That was so awesome! I do believe it made my week. :rofl:

That really was outstanding – one of Randy’s best!! Thanks for sharing. :smiley:

A few songs back he muttered something about wishing Trump would go away, “I’m running out of show tunes,”

I guess big band boogie-woogie is the next vein to tap.

I was going to post this in the Stormy Daniels thread in P&E but thought it would fit better here. Ari Melber had Michael Cohen on his show on MSNBC yesterday. Cohen was talking about how Trump always has to be able to control a situation, and now he’s in a situation that he has absolutely no control over. Melber says “So, do you think he’s scared?” And Cohen says “Oh yeah. He’s terrified.”

(I think it’s also hilarious that when he’s in court today, he’s actually going to have to be polite and deferential to someone – besides Putin that is.)

And he is going to have to do what the cops tell him to do. All while dragging along a squad of SS agents.
Trump will see what it’s like to obey the rules.

Can he pull that off?

I keep reading “historic arrest” in my news feed as “cardiac arrest” and I am getting extra, undeserved schadenfreude.

I’m sorry; I’ll return it.

I’m not a vengeful person-- I just want to see justice done.

But I have to admit, I’m feeling some warm fuzzy schadenfreude right now imagining how trump’s ivory tower-exacerbated germophobia is red-lining as he is processed in the arraignment, being manhandled and fingerprinted and such in grubby perp rooms as I type this.

How dare you impugn New York City, widely known as the mecca of cleanliness.

Well, the arrestee processing and holding rooms are not the most pristine, I imagine.

The rest of New York City? Clean enough for a rat to eat a slice of pizza off the subway floor!

And the cockroaches take care of the cigarette butts.

's OK, there’s plenty for everyone. Schadenfreude is not a zero-sum game.

6’1", 270

What were the alleged measures (from his own gob)? I don’t remember…

I recall 6’3, 239 lbs (just below “obese” by BMI standards, which is probably not a coincidence).

Well, maybe he’s eaten a bite more lately and has shrunk because of age…

By an amazing coincidence, the same weight as one Homer J Simpson. I know who I’d trust to run a country out of those two, and it ain’t DJT. Spooky coincidence no 2: middle inital J.

I haven’t watched a new Simpsons episode for at least 20 years, but I think the only job Homer hasn’t held yet is POTUS.
