Machia voted for Trump, drawn by promises of border control and national security. “We didn’t want drugs or gangbangers,” he said. But what he didn’t expect was losing some of his most dedicated employees to immigration arrests.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”

LOL. Idiots

Sometimes it feels like being happy that Trumpers are suffering is like cheering when a disease dies with the host. It's a momentary happiness that the Balrog fell... milliseconds before you realize it's pulling you down with it.

What it actually is is that they have strapped us all (including themselves) to the flaming wreckage of our nation that they themselves created, and have been laughing maniacally as it plummets from the sky, while the rest of us scream in terror.

Now they are starting to scream in terror, and I'm just about ready to start with the maniacal laughter.

Nah, not like that at all. More like having the tiniest drop of schadenfreud when the idiot bus driver finally realizes they fell asleep on the job again and we're about to go off the cliff. Much better when the idiots responsible for this mess realize it than not.
