I just realized that in typical urban-Democratic fashion Nancy Pelosi had the brass stripped off the gavel and sold off to the scrapyard before handing it over.

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,

It’s not Shadenfreud. Correct. It is FREUDENSCHADE, i.e. prematurely celebrating a victory. And for that hubris, considered a grave sin in ancient Greece, the gods will punish.

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...

We didn’t have Trump then.
To: Red Badger
True! And by making herself the story she reminded voters who is going to be Speaker if the Democrats win!

What year is she living in ?

Freudenschade is the new way of expressing hubris. IOW, prematurely declaring a victory doomed to not happen. Very good. I like it!

Nancy Pelosi : “Donald Trump will never be President. That’s just not going to happen.” The Blue Wave of 2018. Freudenschade!

She wouldn’t have made such a bold prediction unless she was pretty certain that the Dems had enough voter fraud in place for all the open districts. I won’t be surprised to see them pick up 30 seats in these open districts. There’s tons of democrat money flooding them.
