Tom Toles for February 19, 2017

Loony Tunes was more planned and worked on a much higher cognitive level than Dump’s* administration.

All the characters in Looney Toons are brighter than Donnie Dumpster, and even Bugs has a smaller ego.

Now he’s “campaigning” for 2020. He likes that part, the job…not so much. Feh!

{About Trump’s awful press conference}

YET HIS FANS STILL APPLAUD!! {a rhyme}

Yet Trump’s fans continue to laud

this creature who is so yuugely flawed.

He is a fraud,

yet they remain awed.

His maraudings they blindly applaud.

=========

THE NEWS DISCOURAGES {a rhyme}

The news, – it us so yuugely unsettles,

like our tummies are pained by stinging nettles.

We need some courage, some strength, some mettle

to bring back our nation into finer fettle, -

- not stewing in the cauldron, in the Trumpian kettle.

========

QUEL DOMMAGE!! {a rhyme}

“Holy sh.t!! What a shame!!” …

… that gummint proceeds under Donald Trump’s name,

and’ll never recover to sanity reclaim.

In French: “Sacre bleu!! Quel dommage!!” …

… that we’re undergoing sabotage

by Trump and his scruffy entourage.

==========

ZERO-SUM GAME {a rhyme}

In our political games of the type “Zero-Sum”,

the Xes win the cookies, – but nary a crumb

remains for the Ys.

Best compromise. – - -

- – - Let’s heed democracy’s rule of thumb

that it isn’t wise

to polarize; -

- ‘cause only the Xes will win in the scrum.

=========

WORDS WHICH RHYME with “MOON” [an exercise in mixed metaphors]

Storm-clouds are gathering under our moon.

Dangerous darkness is upon us soon.

The darkness is dangerous because a goon

{a buffoon

with his Trumpster platoon;

a cartoon

of a business tycoon}

whose raucous “Trump”et is out of tune

will blast our nation, – America strewn

like debris which a chain-saw has savagely hewn,

like bodies at the OK Corral at high noon.

===========

Last one was GREAEAATT! (With apologies to Tony the Tiger!)Even conservative pundits are having trouble justifying this hot mess!

What would happen if Trump gave a news conference and nobody showed up?

What would Bugs say to trump? “You’re a maroon.”

Thanks for the laugh. It’s better than crying….

There are so many possible endings. Most of them bad to very bad. We had better chose wisely.

“Press conference” or “rally” are both just more extended “Trumper tantrums”.

Porky Pig = Don Juan Trump? Yeah, sounds about right.

Sweden!!? Immigrants revolting in Sweden!??Dopey Don should have made a left turn at Albuquerque.

And yet again, the Repugnicans ignore their retarded leader.

Me think me object to this one.
