Tom Toles for June 05, 2016

Yeah, I could actually see that happening. How horrifying that I have seen so much of this windbag oompa loompa that I can imagine it so clearly.

The Don and his entire Republican Crime Family are experiencing a complete psychotic break. It’s been a long time coming, and now that it’s here it’s both pathetic and terrifying.

You nasty reporters better stop upsetting widdle Donald!

Haters gotta hate. No reasoning with one, just reacting.

If Trump gets this upset at reporters and judges, just imagine what will happen when he meets with Putin or Xi Jinping. If he does that on their turf it might be the first execution of a US president on foreign soil not to mention the subsequent war.

Alexander makes an interesting point. EVERY major Republican candidate plus EVERY living Republican president and presidential candidate has said that Trump was unacceptable as a candidate. Not just a lesser choice, an unacceptable choice.Trump has not been officially nominated yet, and given that the GOP (like the Democratic Party) is really a private organization, it is entirely possible to kick him out at the convention if they really wanted to.And yet, we see many “leading” figures in the GOP accepting that Trump will be the candidate. Reluctantly – but they are doing it. They know damned well that this is a bigger liar and flip-flopper than Romney ever was, who has INSULTED people like prisoners of war, someone whose knowledge of foreign affairs seems to come from InfoWars and cartoons (and not good editorial cartoons, either), who arguably isn’t really a Republican, someone who is openly proclaiming racism and sexism, whose sexual history makes Clinton’s look like a joke, and who is explicitly alienating groups that the Republican Party is trying to bring in, and cannot do without.And yet they are allowing him to take over the wheel of their party.What do they think they are doing? I think some of them are just praying that Trump goes down in flames before Hillary Clinton (who is a lot closer to the GOP Powers-That-Be than any of them will acknowledge openly) and they don’t have to be held accountable for their choices.But do these idiots think that no one will remember that they made Trump their standard bearer? They might – their utter contempt for the American people has been demonstrated over and over again, as they claim to represent “the people” and vote in laws that screw over the average American for the obvious benefit of the super-rich. That’s why Trump and Sanders are doing so well – the average American is not feeling represented by their parties, and they know it.The GOP is fundamentally broken. While I have rarely voted for Republicans, I have done it. There was NO ONE in the race this year out of all those zillions of candidates that I would even CONSIDER voting for, and that’s a bad, bad sign.It’s too bad they can’t stand up on their hind legs and actually make a courageous statement. I’ve gained new respect for Romney for doing so, and I’ve had far more experience of him than most of the people posting here (as a resident of Massachusetts, and also someone who has worked with his company and its ilk).

Coward and bully, just a rich inheritor of wealth and postition, pretty much defines Trump.

Teddy Roosevelt was a complete psychotic freak?

You said it…we didn’t

Our resident righties are asleep at the switch today. 16 comments and not ONE attempt to change the subject to Hillary.

…well, we got the circus…when do we get the bread?…

Another gotcha question by the media, asking about what newspapers you read, or what kind of pie you like. Why won’t the media just let Donald be president already?Wouldn’t it be nice if they had the same scrutiny for Trump as they have had for Clinton, so you would know where he stands on issues. She has laid out her positions and has discussed policy. He has insulted and whined. I’d like some of that free media coverage to go toward figuring out who he really is.

StCleve72I assume you are taking the majority position that Warren G. Harding, who died in Vancouver, BC, was not poisoned by his wife for repeated infidelities.
