Tom Toles for September 07, 2016

Sorta like, I don’t have a server, yes I have a server. I don’t have anything classified, yes I do. All the e-mails were given to the FBI, no they weren’t. All the e-mails were destroyed, no they weren’t. I was shot at by snipers, no I wasn’t. Chelsea was jogging right by the WTC, no she wasn’t. I’m for TPP, no I’m against it. I never lied, etc.Nah, no bias from Toles.

Everyone ought to know that tRump is not to be trusted, ever. It’s so obvious. If EVER there was a two-faced, lying politician, tRump has shown himself to be it (not to mention also displaying a highly disordered personality…). But then any perusal of the comments from the TrumperNutters will also show that their support for tRump is based on considerations other than rational.

You could call him a flip-flopper, but that would imply he had a position to start with. This guy is a loose cannon blasting away at the GOP ship, but they’ll bring up Clinton sneezing. It really is unprecedented that a woman running for president would cough. Besides, every statement in this cartoon is one a Republican can stand behind.

Hopefully Hillary will destroy Trump at the debates since he is basically a know nothing.

But most of the press doesn’t bring Trump’s flip flopping up very often. If it were Hillary doing this each outlet would have a gang of reporters on each flip flop full time with daily headlines. Once again, Trump gets a pass.

Last November, Trump discussed ISIS’s control of various oil camps from which the Islamic supremacist organization funded its efforts, saying:

“They have some in Syria, some in Iraq. I would bomb the …. out of ‘em. I would just bomb those suckers. That’s right. I’d blow up the pipes. … I’d blow up every single inch. There would be nothing left. And you know what, you’ll get Exxon to come in there and in two months, you ever see these guys, how good they are, the great oil companies? They’ll rebuild that sucker, brand new — it’ll be beautiful.”

The last time information from Donald Trump’s income-tax returns was made public, the bottom line was striking: He had paid the federal government $0 in income taxes.

When Donald Trump Needs a Loan, He Chooses Deutsche BankDespite some clashes, the Republican front-runner has been a regular client of the German lender

Donald Trump has often railed against what he calls a rigged political system. This morning, a fresh reminder that he’s been part of the system for a long time. It’s this $25,000 donation from his foundation to the Florida attorney general that’s receiving fresh scrutiny, because it came just as her office was set to review allegations of fraud at Trump University. Now, foundations, of course, are not allowed to make such political contributions. So he was slapped with a $2,500 fine by the IRS.

His lips look funny anytime they move.

Donald Trump Woos Republicans By Speaking at a 4th Grade Level .Trump’s grammar in most speeches is ‘just below 6th grade level.President W Bush scored at a 5th grade level. Hillary Clinton is only slightly below an 8th-grade level.Obama’s Acceptance Speech was at 9th Grade Level.

I’m assuming that the con game known as Trump University was about a first-grade level……….

Trump will shoot off his mouth as usual, curios if the moderators will actually do their jobs and call out each of his nonsense lines. Then will he cry that they’re bleeding from wherever.

“No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”

Over time, this longer quote came to be paraphrased and misquoted, most commonly in the form “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”

In the column, Mencken continued his thoughts about the public’s choices in reading matter and politicians by adding:

“The mistake that is made always runs the other way. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.” H.L. Mencken…………………………..http://www.thisdayinquotes.com/2011/09/no-one-ever-went-broke-underestimating.html

NOW we know why Trump knows more about Isis than the generals; they have been reduced to rubble!Seriously, when did we bomb them?And after THAT comment, only those who want to overthrow the government would support Trump.

I meant to say only those GENERALS!
