Tom Toles for March 24, 2017

Here comes Watergate, here comes Watergate, down the same old trail. (Santa ain’t coming.)

What I do not get is why Nunes had to rush to the President to give him information of intelligence? Doesn’t the President have access to all US intelligence?and where did these documents come from if they are not from US intelligence? It would not surprise me if they ended up being fake.

Nunes also complains that Trump transition team member names were not redacted, but uh aren’t the documents not public? Nunes say the Trump team members were not part of the surveillance but were caught because they were talking to foreigners that were under surveillance and suspect, that is so reassuring. Nothing like throwing yourself and Trump under the bus by rushing over to save him.

Come one, come all, to the Ghastliest Show on Earth! Now, under the Яepublicant☠ Big Tent, the Six Ring Circus in Hell!

If you need your henhouse guarded, be sure to let your pet fox do it.

Or your pet Fox.

THE MERCERS {a limerick}

Lord have mercy!! The Mercers!!

“Dark Money’s” big-time disbursers, -

- out-koching the Kochs

with masterful strokes

as the Alt-Right’s wet-nursing nursers.

HOW WE GOT TRUMP {1.40 limericks}

Let me clear up the mystery

that Trump besmirches our history: -

- Our process elective

was so defective

that we got a prez of {sophistry} sophistery

and of words a thesaurus includes*

to describe the ways of such dudes. …

… {* Such as casuistry, chicanery, mendacity, subterfuge}

========

For the past 8 years we had the most do nothing Congress in history. Now we have the most disfunctional.

Republican strategies are as subtle as that elephant doing a tap dance in galoshes.

The coverup is worse than the “Crimean”! Didn’t anybody else notice that? Like a lot of Toles’s cartoons (and the legendary Oliphant’s), often the best part is the little asides. But one thing we can say for sure: unlike Sessions, Nunes has not committed perjury. Yet!

Speaking of Crimea……a bit of a song parody:He was bored and wanted a new laneSo he thought he’d annex the UkraineWhile the world sitsPutin out his hitsHe’s confused, he thinks that he’s Paul BunyanLonging for the dear ol’ Soviet Onion(Tons of funnin’!)Now the Bear’s co-opting the EagleTrump’s minions are mostly illegalAnd the world sitsPutin out his hits

Whoops! Here we go:

Speaking of Crimea……a bit of a song parody:

He was bored and wanted a new lane

So he thought he’d annex the Ukraine

While the world sits

Putin out his hits

He’s confused, he thinks that he’s Paul Bunyan

Longing for the dear ol’ Soviet Onion

(Tons of funnin’!)

Now the Bear’s co-opting the Eagle

Trump’s minions are mostly illegal

And the world sits

Putin out his hitsReply

“Send in the clowns, there ought to be clowns”…other then the one in the White House, that is…

Killer Klowns we got should be funny, but all time scary dudes.

The Insane Clown Posse rules! (for now!)

@OLD CURMUDGEON — Thanks for the ‘Mercer limerick!’

On a separate note, the Elephant ( a noble, intelligent animal ) is getting a lot of undeserved abuse!

Heard him coming? Trump gave him directions on what path to take!

Speaking of intelligence, that’s the one thing that’s totally missing in this administration, from the top to the bottom…..
