As a fan of anagrams, my current favourite is turning ‘Trump loses bigly’ into:

Screw it. I’m throwing my coffee out. Time for a glass of whiskey.

Naw, they don’t have to put him in a car. Once he’s been evicted, no need to charge him with anything. Just deposit him on the sidewalk on Pennsylvania Avenue, with a suitcase of his personal effects.

Just one more elderly homeless person in Joe Biden’s America! Sad!

Wow. Interesting. Thanks. I will revise downward my suspicion about “strong” support. I wonder what the demographics are for the ballots in GA.

These 88,000 provisional ballots that are still outstanding in PA that supposedly may break trump’s way they keep talking about on the news is making me a little nervous. Anyone want to reassure me?

It is Friday night chamber music at our house, and the 1st and 2d fiddles are WELL into the champagne! Stupid old sober me is trying to hold down the bass end of things! ☹

I hear they’re likely mostly blue still. ‘Breaking Trump’s way’ means 60% Biden instead of 80%

Seriously, it’s ok. When the next Pennsylvania ballots are added from the Philly area, you’re going to feel a lot better. 🙂

I’ll drink to that!  
I’m still fuckered up about 2016, so I don’t have a great amount of trust in this outcome… but I’ll drink to that!

I’d been saving a very nice bottle of a Flanders-style red from my favorite local brewery’s last birthday celebration for an undefined special occasion. On Tuesday night, with everything still very much in doubt, I decided to share it with friends as an invitation to a special occasion rather than waiting for one.

I’m glad I did. Here’s to the President Elect.

Biden’s team is saying that he won’t be on TV tonight unless he gets 270.

Because it would be a shame to sully a fine whiskey with the lousy coffee I made a couple of hours ago.
