Tom Toles for November 16, 2016

Geesh! All I can say is tRump hadn’t better drop the soap…

It’s the sickle we can do without.

ON-the-JOB TRAINING for TRUMP {a rhyme}

Our fears Obama attempts to assuage

by saying that The Donald tends “pragmatic”; -

- not to press on in ideological rage,

but through LEARNING to become less dogmatic,

less ugly-ly rancorous,

less divisively cantankerous,

with a brain less dangerously dense.

{… Obama’s assessment we’ll hold in suspense,

since Trump seems unlikely with his ways to dispense.}

===========

THE OUTCAST {me} – {a 2-versed limerick}

The folks I know in mid-MO

go mostly with the Fox News flow

that Trump is okay

in a Christian way

and the Alt-Right is in the know.

… and SO:

I can’t express what I think

{that of disaster we’re on the brink}.

My social life

would suffer much strife; -

- ‘round here I’d have to slink.

… oh, WOE

======

He’s already Putin’s bitch. How much does he owe Russian banks?

Last I checked the election is over. Why is Toles still seeing Russians under his bed?

Unfortunately when humans have a choice between a good choice and a bad choice they, unless by accident, take the bad choice. This is just the beginning of a number of bad choices that will most likely end very very badly for all humanity.

It’s about time someone did! At least when there’s a crisis, he won’t be out playing golf!

Remember when conservative pundit George Will famously called George H. W. Bush Reagan’s “lapdog”? Well, Trump doesn’t have nearly the dignity of Putin’s lapdog. Lap amoeba, anybody?

@Old_Curmudgeon

I see you’re from mid-MO. (And so are your limericks, which I always enjoy.) From Kansas City, myself. Ya just gotta wonder what Mark Twain would make of Trump (if he could keep himself from vomiting long enough to write anything…..)

Quite likely. After all, he was a big fan of Hiram Grant, the first totally corrupt president.

Not sure that cynisism is objective either. The dictionary says …
