Juliet Jeske is the host of a podcast called Decoding Fox News. She put together an hour-by-hour montage of Fox News election night coverage. It’s a bit long (29 minutes), but highly entertaining, as you watch the hosts go from cautiously hopeful to utter despair over the course of 7 hours. The topper is the phone call from Trump at the end where he makes every excuse as to why the Pubs failed so badly during the election.

Gleefully watching watching Trump’s media/bitcoin/Fusion company go down the toilet, (DJT down 57.5% in the last 7 weeks to a current price $3.99 and still falling) I came across this bit of Schadenfreude about people who with the financial acumin of [Homer simpson](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YURHmljR8vs&t=67s) bet it all on Trump. # [Trump Media’s investors lost $2.2 billion while Trump holds $460 million stake](https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/trump-medias-investors-lost-22-billion-while-trump-holds-460-million-stake-2026-11-06/) ---

Most of these people voted for Trump three times, and still support him. I don’t think that they are very good at learning from their mistakes. ---

“[Trump] went on for over twenty minutes and I wouldn’t do that to you.” I wonder why they showed the Capitol during his call instead of two-thirds of the White House /s Think I’m gonna subscribe to her. ---

I don’t watch Fox News so I haven’t seen Harris Faulkner since she was on the local Kansas City affiliate ten or so years ago. Holy crap someone give that woman a sandwich! She looks positively anorexic. (I guess working at Fox will do that to you.) ---
