Tom Toles for August 05, 2016

Touche!

Every political operative wants that not just Trump.

Yup, Tom.

Yeah, my brother is one of those chumps. He sees all of his own venal traits in Drumpf, and just loves it.

Clever.

Trump loves the poorly educated.

(Also works upside down.)

Clever…

It is obvious you have a clear headed, fact based opinion that probably won’t change until they throw the dirt in over you.

Obviously a trumpet – one of the people covered by Tole’s toon

Who pooped in your Wheaties this morning?

If you are worried about liars, and you think Trump is better than Hillary, on that metric, then you are perfectly described by the cartoon.

ctrl-alt-down arrow to flip it. ctrl-alt-up arrow to fix your screen after flipping it. (may not work on all computers)

..Doesn’t work nearly as well when turned upside down.

It was just another dull day, when suddenly: Triple Deflection Projection! I haven’t seen such a move since yesterday.

Totally appropriate!

Trump chumps are looking forward to voting for a LIAR that lies about lying, talk about inept and unethical, just take a look at Trumps “business” ventures with other chumps he has known. He is a racist, anti-American, anti-Constitutionalist who hates those different than he is (old white male) and would even go so far as torture and keep people out of our country based on religious tests. This crusty old white dude Trump is an insane Socialist from the party of Division. Looks like the Republican party Trumped the Democrats with their winner of a candidate.

gdisele1It didn’t work on my upgraded Snow Leopard. Fortunately, by printing experience goes back to hand-set type, and upside-down is only slightly more difficult than mirror reverse.

I have to laugh at the idiots who think that Trump is some kind of political “outsider” when he’s used his inherited money to bribe politicians of both parties for decades……

The handwriting is on the wall, It isn’t hard to read upside down. The post before mine is very good, about how trump has used his money to buy,and otherwise influence politicians for years. thus trump isn’t that “outside-r”.

Even sitting through a “Dare to be Great” presentation was more comfortable than the show trump is putting on. I got out of that with my wallet intact but it was tough. I hope we all get out of this with our planet intact.

Barnum and W.C. Fields could tell ya – there’s one born every minute…

Simple, but great

Brilliant!!

Projection is the GOP’s “tell.”

When people are upset, frustrated and angry they stop thinking and just act. Any change, stupid or not might throw up a chance to get out of the fix they are in. This is why populist demagogues are so dangerous – because they echo frustrations, legitimise frustrations and offer up targets for rage.If they win, they have an angry mob at their back, which they need to keep angry to remain in power.If they lose, the anger in the mob boils over into chaos.There are only two ways to defeat them once they become this powerful. Overwhelming force is one that is most often used but comes with maybe decades of repression. Laughter is the other, not angry ridicule, because that will only strengthen their hold on their base, but gentle chiding humour that reaches enough of their supporters to make them realise their emperor has no clothes.

That’s tough to do when you’re reading this comic on a computer!!!

Well done…but I had to stand on my head….all that blood flow…what a rush.
