All of my gloating will be without planning and totally spontaneous.
When I think of how Melania Trump is reacting and how she is likely asking her friends for references for good divorce attorneys the gloat bubbles out of me, without planning.
When I consider that these prosecuting attorneys have a conviction rate in the high 90 percentile the gloat erupts yet again sans planning of any type.
When I think of the coming indictments in Georgia, in the documents case, in the insurrection case and then think of all of the likely civil actions that will be coming my gloats bubble up from my toes and when they subside I think about all of the depositions that are coming another wave comes over me, all without planning. And when my heart finally is still and I have controlled my gloatacious emotions erupt again when I think of E Jean Carroll's dress and her trial.
There is one thing that always proves true in human behavior; Humility precedes Victory, Hubris precedes Defeat. So thinking of Trump's hubris and how he invited all of this on to himself the gloatation day dreams float into my subconscious without control or planning until I find the rest of sleep when the night dreams float on gloatacious clouds.
But I absolutely refuse to plan to gloat, that would be hubris and I refuse to sink to that low.

(10,352 posts)They tend to be older, white and very conservative, so I wont gloat publicly.
As for the former FLOTUS, I think shes likely to stay married to Agent Orange til he dies. I suspect that shes hoping that hell be going to jail and that shell be spared any further joint appearances with her hubby.
