I don’t understand...

How does an unbiased, fair reporter experience PTSD from one side losing an election?

What the HELL is with these people? When Obozo won re-election in 2012, I was upset for a couple days, but then went on with my life.

If Biden wins, I’ll be upset for a couple days, then I’ll do what I can to harden my home, get some range time, and go on with my life.

(Actually, if Trump wins, I’ll still need to harden my home and still get some range time, because those young idiots with one X chromosome and 1/2 of a Y chromosome will be out prowling for revenge.)

HOW HARD CAN IT BE???

DANG!

More media malpractice belching up more swamp gas from their putrid deep swamp.

I want to see them throw themselves off of high buildings tomorrow night when it becomes clear that Trump has won reelection.

It’s not just the media. From what I’ve seen at the DUmp, over half of them are saying they’re suffering from PTSD. They’re laying in alcohol and drugs (legal and illegal) to deal with it. Some don’t plan on checking the returns until some time on Wednesday (believe it when I see it).

The other part of the DUmp doesn’t want ANY hint that there’s ANY possibility of Biden losing.

I’m going to be lurking heavy at the DUmp tomorrow.

I'm not surprised to see this. They're not "independent" and they're not "journalists". They're paid propagandists who live in a bubble and can't deal with reality when they're forced to step outside that bubble.

They concoct fairy tales as though they were true and plug their ears and shut their eyes to truth and can't accept it when they reopen their eyes and unplug their ears.

The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. - Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820-1903)

That guy sounds really delusional. He actually thinks that a “healthy majority” hate Trump as much as he does. I’m not sure a “healthy majority” suffers from a mental illness known as Trump Derangement Syndrome. He’s in for a very rude awakening when Trump wins reelection.

Maybe this dork could say this to a group of soldiers who have had body parts blown off or been severely injured or burned during their tour.

People like this idiot make me sick. No spine & no clue what PTSD truly is. Kill it with fire.....

There’s treatment available for that.

Or- they could each go spend a year working on a farm, answering 911 calls, being a prep cook, driving a cab, hanging drywall, being in housekeeping at a hospital- you know, having jobs. See how it enhances their world view;)

Mark, of all the people who this time tomorrow are going to be suffering #Schadenfreude, Tim's will be the best. And you can tell him I said so.

Alberta wrote one of the fugliest, masochistic Bidenporn articles, in which Alberta subliminally projected himself as Cypher back in a world where people like Ben Rhodes were f------g him over again...

"The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old…They literally know nothing…We created an echo chamber…They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say." – Ben Rhodes

...and how much Alberta was looking forward to it.

With my blessings and thanks for the compliment!

I hate how casually these people use PTSD when that’s an actual medical diagnosis people have steaming from bad events in their lives (war vets, sexual abuse victims, people in horrific accidents, etc), not losing an election.

“I hate how casually these people use PTSD when that’s an actual medical diagnosis.”

Interesting point. The left hates it someone is called “retarded,” but apparently PTSD is still okay.

And another thing, Mark, Timmeh! moved from Falls Church VA to Ann Arbor MI because it was safer for his family & a better place to raise his kids! Alberta moved from the DC Metro to a state that voted for President Trump (and will again).

The guy is a monumental hypocrite. A guy who could not be SHAMED into deleting his Biden-felching tweet where Joe recycled the lie (of course) about "being the first in his family to go to college".

A lie Biden had had to previously apologize for re: his Kinnock plagiarism ("Finnegans in my family went to college"). Alberta, instead of doing his job, signal-boosted Biden's old, repudiated lie.

Meanwhile this guy moves to Michigan and doesn't realize every other person he passes on the road voted for Trump, that the guy flipping his burger voted for Trump, or the gal pouring his beer, or his dealer.

If Alberta truly has PTSD, it could not be happening to anyone in America more deserving of the living insanity that heavy PTSD confers upon its sufferers.

Schadenfreude yesterday, Schadenfreude today, Schadenfreude forever.
