Tom Toles for May 15, 2017

The problem isn’t government; it’s government run by Republicans that’s the problem.

Even when the Rump is removed, the repubs will still have their way.

And me without a hand-basket.

A PRAYER TO CONGRESS – {a rhyme}

A prayer to Congress: – Thee we beseech

that thou goest ahead and The Donald impeach.

Forsooth, – too much doth this president breach.

Forsooth, – too much doth he over-reach.

He bleedeth our nation as doth the leech.

NO LONGER BLESSED – {1.60 limericks} {extra points that all 8 lines rhyme}

Excuse it that I’m so obsessed

with our gummint’s being so messed

by the crap from this pest

which fouls our nest.

America’s no longer blessed; -

- au contraire, we’re stressed,

by Trump oppressed.

He oughta be under arrest.

Standard highschool-civics and college-courses have ALways emphasized that our Constitution’s main genius is in its “checks-and-balances” via its “separated powers”. … Founding Father James Madison wrote that “The accumulation of all powers…in the same hands [is the] very definition of tyranny” {see his “Federalist #47” at f’rinstance http://www.constitution.org/fed/federa47.htm }.

Tyranny, despotism, anarchy. All run by greed and lack of integrity. Gee, pretty depressing ain’t it?

Then what happens? Rich people pay no taxes, wars are started, the national debt triples, ketchup becomes a vegetable . . .

Our military has over 730 installations around the world outside of the US. I live by an army depot with thousands of vehicles, each costing $100K, rotting away. But, yet again, our supreme leadership wants to increase the defense budget beyond its already burgeoning 52%.

Yeah, we have no money for social programs.

“It’s the end of the world as we know it…”

Then you lie cheat and steal until it explodes in your face and you have lost all credibility. In other words, republican business as usual.

So he laughs with delight and steps forward to collect another soul—only to find it long gone; replaced by blind ambition at any cost.

You’ve heard about “power to the people”? This seems to be about “power, NOT the people”.

I think the Republicans want “power to screw the people”…….

The Facist Repugnantcans and the passive do nothing Dems. VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!

Why the heck is the elephant wearing a BLUE suit? No RINOs Allowed!

Trump is possessed by evil.

Reagan stated “Government IS the problem.” Every Republican administration since has set out to prove it. Trump has done this in spades, assigning to every departement someone determined to destroy it, and all government functions. Having spent 32 years saving lives, property, and our environment as a government employee, this is the ultimate disgusting action of an idiot, appointed by the “college”, and losing the popular vote by the largest margin ever for someone only getting the “electoral college” win. Ignorance has won this election, in partnership with outright stupidity.

BTW: “autocorrect” (like cell phones and “self driving” cars) is proof that technology has made people dumber, and our machines as well!

Gain the world, lose your soul, blow the profit.

Crazy Trump, the republican traitor in the White House, now giving away our classified secrets to our enemies, his best friends the Russians. So why wait to impeach the loose cannon?

Subpoena the tapes of Trump’s Russian meeting in the White House, lets hear what really happened.

If Hillary was suspected of giving classified info to the Russians the republicans would be screaming “Jail her!” or worse.
