Freudenschade, baby!

And before you give me a lecture that it should have been "Schadenfreude," the reason why I posted "Freudenschade" is because a DUmmie once exclaimed "Freudenschade" when anticipating a victory that did NOT happen. This was catalogued by the DUmmie FUnnies and Freudenschade is the new way of expressing hubris. IOW, prematurely declaring a victory doomed to not happen.

The ancient greeks considered hubris, extreme or foolish pride or dangerous overconfidence, to be a grave sin as in this case with Pelosi. And their ancient gods punished those guilty of hubris. When that happens with a boomerang that is Freudenschade.

Pelosi’s amazing predictive powers in action::

Nancy Pelosi: ‘I guarantee it,’ Trump won't be president . "Take it to the bank."

April 13, 1992: Labour leader Neil Kinnock resigns after surprise election defeat
Three days after the Conservative party defied the pollsters to win a fourth successive General Election, Labour’s Neil Kinnock stood down after nine years as Leader of the Opposition.

On April 1, 1992, Labour held a lead in all major opinion polls. A party rally in Sheffield that evening (pictured above), later described as ‘triumphalist’ with Kinnock repeating “we’re all right!” to a cheering audience,

the D’s would have a much better chance of winning seats if they’d immediately replace Pelousy, HilLIARy, Obammmy, and a few more of their obvious liars... with some credible candidates/speakers/commentators

putting one’s absolutely- worst foot/feet forward is not a winning strategy

Good! Then that means that all of the Democrats out there who haven’t voted yet do not need to do so. That should clear up the lines for voting quite nicely...
