I did like an hour learning up on this and I was ready to be a Supreme Court Justice. The job's a piece of piss.

Trump's lawyers are claiming it's good to lose because it now gets them before the Supremer Court. And then the Supremest Court.

Or maybe the Mall of America Food Court.

The Supreme Court: yet another thing Trump decided to buy but clearly didn’t pay for.

A hilarious strategy f.ck up. Trump could have promised Coney Barrett *after* an election, but he didn’t, and the right wing single issue voters who previously held their noses to vote Trump didn’t need to vote.

I think he'll be feeling very confused. He has bought the Supreme Court, yet they haven't delivered for him. How can that possibly be?

I don't think that sort of treacherous behaviour confuses him. He'll just do what he always does in such cases and sue the ingrates. Right? The President can sue the Supreme Court for not overturning an election that clearly delivered the wrong result, surely?

The Electoral College has started to vote!!

TRUMP has raced to an early lead 11-3. So a shock outcome is on the cards. But there's a long way to go.

The New Hampshire live stream is hilarious. No wonder they need to wait till 20 Jan for the inauguration, it will take that long for these 4 voters to actually vote.

Now the Trump lead is up to 22-7.

This is going wrong fast.

It's a complete shock that electors in Indiana and Tennessee that were pledged to vote for Trump voted for Trump.

Just because it's predictable doesn't mean it can't be exciting.

I'm hoping New York will change the trend at about 5 pm UK time. Which is when the swing states of Nevada, Pennsylvania and Georgia vote. Michigan and Wisconsin about 7 pm.

Doesn't that sound suspicious to you? Trump is winning easily and then late on they start "finding" all these votes for Sleepy Joe.

I think there's some sort of shenanigans going on, Trump should get his top legal minds on to it.
This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

Trump's top legal minds all have Covid. Plus an inability to submit lawsuits correctly, provide evidence and spell tricky words like Goergia.

It's the slate of electors from New California, New Nevada and New New Mexico you need to watch.

And Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Trump's in deep trouble if he loses Michigan. His best hope would be to capture the 55 votes in California.

This is as exciting as watching a replay of the Grand National!

I'm looking forward to the bit where the loser is shot in the head with a captive bolt gun, and then sold to be turned into glue and Findus crispy pancakes.

Trump is now (this morning) suing in New Mexico, in order to throw out the election results and have the Democratic majority New Mexico state legislature choose the electors.
