Tom Toles for May 30, 2017

Well it will keep them from setting themselves on fire, for a while.

SOP for GOP. Family values doncha know.

Every autocrat will tell you it’s the manly thing to do …

YOU’RE A GOOD BOY, MISTER GRINCH – {a rhyme and an image}

You’re a good boy, Mister Trump.

We won’t let your presidency flump.

Libruls might call you a Mister Grinch,

but we will fight for you inch by inch

even while all of our money you pinch

and destroy our healthcare until we flinch.

========

Some time ago I heard a question that said it all: why is it that those with so much to lose are voting for those that will take it from them?

The old Marquis de Sade wrote about only a Hundred Days of Sodom, and it was only fantasy. Trump is going on two hundred days (or more), and it’s not fantasy.

I believe the second sentence on the wall should say ‘your benefits’ not ‘our benefits’.

HOGS EAT UNDERDOGS – {a synopsis then a limerick}

Our nation slogs // in swampy bogs,

where WallStreetish hogs // eat underdogs. – - -

- – - Trump and the Right are their hench-

men, enabling their snouts to clench

and gnaw and chew

the residue

of well-being. We rot; hence the stench.

=======

Racism and stupidity are the basic membership requirements

But why should the rest of us suffer too??

Tell me again how two opposing parties is superior for governing our united nation instead of working together for the general welfare as stated in the US constitution.

Fringe benefits, eh?

Trumpites LIKE it!! – {a limerick}

Are Trumpites’ minds abscessed?: -

- They continue favorably impressed

by his ways and his style

while in the meanwhile

‘gainst their very Own good he’s transgressed!!

========

Americans do appear to vote for the worst candidate that will punish them the most.

TRUMPASM’S SPASMS – {a rhyme}

Stupid policies at home and abroad.

Our leadership’s failing, – yuugely flawed

by chicanery, deception and flat-out fraud.

Our nation suffers from spasms

of debilitating Trumpasms.

Lawd have mercy. Lawd, please Lawd.

Give us a better rhythm

than the raggedy beats of Trumpism.

======

The Trump supporters would gladly be tied up – if it means all the losers get tied up as well. They don’t want people to vote, they suppress as many as they can, and are fine with a system where the loser wins. They’ll give up their benefits as long as the poor and minorities lose theirs. They think the rich are the only ones that deserve money, that is why they gladly give up health care for the rich to get a tax cut.

Q: What does a sadist do to a masochist?

A: Nothing.

Deplorables; Congress. Synonyms.

VOTE THEM OUT!

The self-flagellation in this country makes it ripe for politicians and sects that want to take advantage of the of the societal conditioning currently in place.
