Scrutable

New York Post has turned against poor Donald.

Only a couple of weeks ago they were running that weird laptop thing. Now they are throwing him to the wolves.

Word from Murdoch has come down - it's over.

Of course, the correct thing for the alien scriptwriters to do would be to reverse all the trends. Trump wins PA, GA, AZ and gets another 4 years immediately after all the Republicans have betrayed him.

Jump rats, jump.

I've got the Monty Python "Every sperm is sacred" song stuck in my head but with the word "sperm" replaced with "vote", I should probably go to bed.

I suspect my election night pledge of "No sleep till Pittsburgh" was ill-judged.

Steve Bannon has got himself suspended off Twitter and Youtube for keeping it classy by threatening to behead Fauci and Wray.

Meanwhile the major news networks can't even bring themselves to continue to pretend to respect the current POTUS, cutting away from him as soon as he started spouting his demented lies.

That noise you hear is all authority draining away from the lamest of lame duck Presidents as the capering shitgoblins who enabled him abandon all pretence of basic decency.

Jesus. Are we nearly there yet? I really need a wee.

f.ck no. Georgia is approaching hanging-chad territory, Arizona is back in contention and now the Democratic candidate in Alaska has decided that Alaska might actually be competitive, presumably because in the history of US Presidential elections nobody has ever said "all eyes are now on Alaska, where people cast their vote by shooting a passing polar bear with the correctly-coloured paintball gun".

This ... will ... never ... end!

If we don't stop this election RIGHT NOW I'm going to wee in my pants

sh.t, I meant to tweet that from @realDonaldTrump, how did I end up here again?

Fake news. Trump doesn't wee in his pants ... he pays underage Russian prostitutes to pee in them for him.

Fake news yourself. Trump doesn't pay his bills.

We're at the toddler stamping his feet and shouting stage. Come on Donald, up your game, say you'll hold your breath until you turn blue.

Obese turtle in the sun stage.

It’s the only language he understands.

Georgia 665 to Trump...

Next batch could do it!

AZ safe, NV easy, PA steadily tracking to it's inevitable win.

Biden wins 306-232.

Yes, they're still counting. This is a good account to follow: https://mobile.twitter.com/BrendanKeefe

Surely we'll be in recount territory in Georgia - so I hope the PA margin is large - so this can be over, and I can stop being shouted at by Richard Quest during ad breaks on CNN.

After Trump's speech, that Downfall meme might need redoing as being a bit too low-key.

Biden can win with just AZ and NV. So all the drama in the East may be superfluous.

The bigger the margin, the better the boot in his face. It's not superfluous. Also, don't forget the danger of faithless electors. 270 may well not be enough.

463 votes now in Georgia.

It'll be a 3 state win.

Trump will whine about AZ. Allege fraud in PA. Try to change the figures in GA.

The big margin deflates him and saner Republicans will find it easy to call Biden the President-elect.

If he turns blue that's a Biden win

I thought AZ was wobbly because the opposite process is happening compared to the others (Biden leading but with a big Republican-leaning county left to count)? But maybe that just the BBC, where I think I saw this, being prudent.

BOOM!

We hit the x axis in Georgia.

Lovely that the switch comes from a batch of (probably) black voters in John Lewis's old district.
