Tom Toles for November 18, 2016

So right. He’s bringing the swamp denizens back to DC, not draining any swamp. His voters are so stupid, since they couldn’t size up exactly what this scumbag is from about 35 years of news stories/publicity. No friend of the common man is he. Just a greedy, sociopathic narcissist, with a bunch of adult offspring who rely entirely on his businesses and “fame” (not for them to interview and possibly get rejected).

Relying on Republicans to legitimize or steer their candidate is the scariest thought.

That dumpster fire is spreading into the White House, and will likely burn the place down.

The Orange Beast is already on track to be the most corrupt regime ever.

$10,000 bracelets anyone? Now that is a product with the working man in mind. Trump and Putin will save us from democracy.

IGNOMINY {a limerick}

If Trumpism goes un-corrected,

its trajectories not re-directed, -

- Ignominy!!

Disgrace {aplenty} aplenny!!

To oblivion we are subjected.

Based on the continued carping from Trump, his campaign, and their supporters, they will find out one of the great maxims of America: The only thing Americans hate more than a sore loser is a sore winner!

Apparently Trumpsters ALL believe the increased reports of anti-black, anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-anybody-but-me attacks since the elections are ALL false reporting, or liberal plots.I’ve heard so much “Not True, False Reports, Blowing out of proportion” from Trump defenders.Self-delusion is just another name for ignoring reality.

How much money does he owe to Russian banks (mob)?

@ clownhidden

After reading your post I completely understand why you stay hidden !

People, people! Trump is just trying to get to that 10 billion dollar level he lied about already being at! In other words, he’s trying desperately to turn one of his many many lies into one of his few few truths!

Well said.

Tom, you act as if there really were a conflict of interest. How could there be, when we’re only here to serve the interests of anyone named trump?

I am not sure who will have the stamina to survive the next four years. He gave his children control over his companies, which is not a blind trust. Now he is giving access to the government to his children. Look for new laws to specifically help the Trump family to make more money. His top adviser has a potential Obamacare conflict of interest. Trump is being sued by many contractors under the system that he himself will be the head of. The ultimate conflict of interest.

Heh, heh, I suppose that’s a point I can’t argue.

but bernie wasn’t allowed to win, hilliary got the nomination, with all that wall street money.

The real Trump would have Giuliani lugging his garbage for him.

Judging by Trump’s past performance, he will borrow everything he can and then bankrupt the economy. Create a world wide depression and declare himself king.

“I don’t want to live in a world where personal loyalty to Donald Trump is the sine qua non of every policy decision. And my guess is that if they think about it, neither do Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz or Lisa Murkowski or any number of other Republicans from outside the Trumposphere who will be inevitably ground down if he is able to make his will prevail.”

WORDS which RHYME with “GOOSE” {1.60 limericks}

We shouldn’t have turned him loose.

He’s busily cooking our goose

and flushing our juice

fast down the sluice.

Mr Trump, would you please sign a truce?

Or -

- Are you so obtuse

in your presidency-abuse

that to Canada we have to vamoose?

RACISM RE-ENTRENCHES {a limerick}

Racism re-entrenches

as one of monkey-wrenches

which Trumpism throws

as its nutsiness flows.

Our nostrils all this en-stenches.

========

TRUMPISM’s TRANSITION {a limerick}

Trumpism quickly flits.

Its transition quickly transits

to blitz us with its

yuge roster of twits.

America’s face full of zits.

… Coda:

This is as bad as it {gets} gits.

========

It seems that tRump, as feared, is intent on having the Insane Clown Posse for his Cabinet. Before the election, I had made a game out of coming up with the craziest and most inappropriate tRump appointees, e. g. his quack “gastroenterologist” for HHS or Surgeon General, or a Russian hacker to head the NSA. It’s no longer a game. Our government is being lobotomized, and when tRump pulls the roof down, it will fall on all of us.

SMOLDERING ASH {1.60 limericks}

It makes us Progressives grumpy

that Trump takes a road so bumpy

as he hauls us to the dumps

and vigorously flumps

us onto debris hard and lumpy.

… Coda:

We’re thrown to the trash

where smoldering ash

is made of America by Trumpty.

Don’t expect ethics from someone who hasn’t any nor a shred of decency about IT.
