Not even a fraying tarp, a tar patch or the piece of corrugated metal tacked on the roof could keep the rain from pouring inside. Donald Trump has vowed to overturn the law that would provide the funding, the Inflation Reduction Act, which he has referred to as the "new green scam."

Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages:

Schadenfreude

/SHd'nfroid'/

noun

Pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.

Best German word ever. There will be a lot of it to go around in the next four years. And unlike 'winning' this never gets old or tired...
