Bedtime, November 8th:
I fear what I'll find
By the dawn's early light...
Humanity...
I'm counting on you
To do the right thing
(Don't know why) -
Do not let me down*
Dawn, November 9th:
When you wake up
Realise the world has
Indeed gone quite mad
And...
In the words of
The great thinkers of the age

| Dark times, but this struck me as being rather wry.. |
Have to "deal with it"
CN: He's doing well in Pennsylvania too... this is hideous....
MH: Fear will get you a long way...
MH: Just called Florida for DT...

| "Women For Trump" (Jesus...!) |
MH: "Women For Trump" (Jesus...!)
MH: Do you think America would ever have voted for a woman...?
The glass ceiling might slam down for generations...
CN: Oh god... what is wrong with "people"?
MH: (...)**
MH: Well, I refuse to let them buy my book...

| You cannot fight the power of the mindless sound bite :-/ |
MH: (...)**
MH: Well, I refuse to let them buy my book...
CN: He's 16 votes away...
MH: You cannot fight the power of the mindless sound bite :-/
CN: ...and "Drain the Swamp"
CN: ...whatever that means
SM: Was Jerzy Kosinski years ahead of the game with Being There? Is Trump a 21st century Chauncey Gardner

CN: ...and "Drain the Swamp"
CN: ...whatever that means
MH: Arguing against the empty rhetoric of a slogan like "Make America Great Again" (or for that matter "I want my country back") always makes you sound like you somehow don't... Even when what you really want is something better than the slogan suggests. But these slogans rapidly become the chants of the mob and drown out any further debate...

MHonTW:
Why does reporting from Las Vegas
always look like going over to
ask for the votes in Eurovision?

MHonTW: Why does reporting from Las Vegas always look like going over to ask for the votes in Eurovision?
MHonTW: "...may be decided by a few thousand people in a handful of states..." is nonsense when they've all already voted you know BBC News
MHonTW: Looks like it's all over for the least worst option...
GS: Nellie the elephant packed her truck and trundled out of the circus, off she went moaning trumpity trump, trump, trump trump...
MH: The head of the herd was calling, far, far away...
Tw: Look America, I love you dearly, but I hope you'll understand when I withdraw my tourist dollars for a few years...
(I know "You Wont Be Missed!")
MHonFB: So, Don... Your place in history is secure, your picture will go on a banknote, your face will be carved on a mountain... Now, if you could try to keep quiet and try not to do any real damage...
MHonFB: So, America, you're prepared to put up with any lunatic just as long as they've got a winkle...?

MHonTW: This morning's result does not, of course, mean that every other "mad as a box of snakes" point of view is now perfectly acceptable...

| Oh, for the love of... Because "Celebrities react to Donald Trump victory" is all that really matters... |
MHonTW: Suppose it's rather awkward for TM the PM to have to congratulate someone for becoming leader after an actual election...
MHonFB: So, America, you're prepared to put up with any lunatic just as long as they've got a winkle...?
The above represents some of my personal lowlights from a very frustrating late evening and early morning on Social Media, (with their own contributions from several reliable sources - you know who you are)
