Schadenfreude

I am assumoing this is a German word, and for a time my ancestors were responsible for some of the greatest philosophical insights (except Hegel and the Romantics) and physics ( most sciences). Sadly for the Germans, and fortunately for the US, some of these great minds came to the USA allowing us the hedgemony we enjoy today.

That is when our immigration polcies were really great and before the Islamicist infestation.

Yes it is a German word essentially meaning taking pleasure in the misery of others. I experience it every time I see the lying left, whether a politician or presstitute, take a hit. As to your other comments, times have indeed changed...
