Tom Toles for May 14, 2017

He hates all law, and the Constitution, and anyone making under $250K a year, except when the latter can pay his taxes for him!

He loves the law when he can use it and hates it when it is used against him.

EVOLUTION DELAYED – {1.40 limericks}

‘Way far from civility we’ve strayed,

our nation’s promises betrayed

by the Right’s interruptions

then by Trumpian corruptions.

America’s evolution’s delayed

and raggedly frayed,

our clouds darkly grayed.

=======

THE MIDDLE OF NOWHURS – {a rhyme}

I live in the middle of nowhurs, – whur

Trump-fans oppressively vigorously stir.

They don’t yet savvy the damage they incur.

When they DO, perhaps they’ll at long last demur.

==========

AN OCTOGENARIAN’S ASSESSMENT – {a limerick} {extra points that all 5 lines rhyme}

There once was an octogenarian

who deemed his president barbarian,

authoritarian,

trashily vulgarian,

and against common sense a contrarian.

=======

TRUMP’S CRAW – {a rhyme}

The “Rule of Law”

might stick in Trump’s craw, -

- but this is our culture’s defense

‘gainst presidents so dadgum’ dense

that they simply cannot let themselves understand

that their dysfunctional neuroses ain’t the Law of the Land.

===========

If only the Repugnantcans will pursue and enforce the law.

If the rule of law existed then the FBI would have referred Mrs. Clinton’s e-mail issue to a U.S. Attorney.

If I had done that when I was on active duty I would have been in a USDP so fast my head would spin.

Firing Comey = obstruction of justice = impeachment

To answer Toles’ question, the opposite already happened, last November…

@LI’L OL’ ME

That is not how the law works. Just because the jury found OJ not guilty doesn’t mean that a jury should acquit every murder defendant when the evidence points to guilt.

Not since Nixon has a president engaged in such obvious case of obstruction justice. If as a former service member you do not see the wrong in that, then I don’t know what the oath you took mean to you.

You’ll notice from li’l ol’ me’s comment, that Trump supporters are incapable of expressing anything but Hatred Of Hillary.

They are even comfortable with Trump bringing Russian PAID FOREIGN AGENTS into the highest levels of US government.

I know they do not care, but do they even know that the entire Trump administration is using private email accounts?

I think Toles had Colbert’s reference in mind when he drew Trump for this cartoon.
