Can a person die from schadenfreude?

Washington Post: "Judge throws out Stormy Daniels’s defamation lawsuit against Trump"
A federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit from adult film actress Stormy Daniels that claimed President Trump defamed her when he suggested she had lied about being threatened to keep quiet about their relationship.

Federal District Judge S. James Otero in Los Angeles had indicated during a late September hearing that he was skeptical of Daniels’s claim on First Amendment grounds. The ruling ordered Daniels, whose given name is Stephanie Clifford, to pay Trump’s legal fees.
I don't normally watch the Fox News lineup but I have to watch tonight.

Wait until the House Democrats vote against the replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Wow, won't Republicans be angry!

An astute point. Rooting for Ginsburg to die will be about the size of the Republican agenda for the next two years.

79 days until Maxine Waters has full subpoena power.

The most favorable Senate map in U.S. history should have been a 5-seat pickup for Republicans if results were just so-so.
