Tom Toles for December 17, 2017

The gift that keeps on taking, from the middle class to pass up the chain.

Greed, by its very nature, knows no bounds.

Now he’s even taking words away from the CDC.

¡¡HASTA la VISTA!! – {1.20 limericks}

He’ll not on his own simply vanish,

so we’ll have to take steps to banish

this Donald Trump dude,

who’s rude-lewd-and-crude

and inclined to be quite tyrannish.

“¡¡Hasta la Vista!!” {in Spanish}.

=======

CATBIRD SEAT – {1.40 limericks}

Take Trump off the Catbird Seat.

Wouldn’t That be sweet!!

Shut his mouth

and send him south

far enough that we can’t hear his tweet.

Trump obsolete.

My, what a treat!!

======

A SELF-ENDANGERED SPECIES – {rhyme}

The Repugnantan elephant

will soon be irrelephant.

It endangers itSelf as a species.

It’ll leave behind its feces

as an old-fossil fuel

in an ancient cess poo-el.

========

Trump has no limits.

He’s just plain crude.

Wish he was history,

If that’s not rude.

Tax cuts won’t help

Middle class like me.

But his White House absence

Would fill me with GLEE!

SHORT SHRIFT – {rhyme}

High the Plutocrats’ spirits lift

when Congress gives them gift upon gift.

But this gifting causes a rift

as we Others are given short shrift. -

- In a boat named “Austerity” we’re left adrift.

==========

A merry covfefe to all, and to all a gouge night.

Greedy old Mr. Trump wants to totally change our tax system to benefit him.

Paranoid Trump will not show you his own taxes.

Republicans are thieves.

The War on Christmas is over. The War on America has just begun.

I believe that when the founders planned a government “of, by, and for the people” they meant ALL the people not just the wealthy. The Silent and Boomer generations could easily afford to attend college on their summer wages, but most chose not to. The Gen-Y have gone into debt to get a college education and seem to appreciate the knowledge it gave them to select better representatives in government. I hope when they move into congress they will end the war on the American people sponsored by the wealthy.

Bob Woodward says Trump should welcome the Russia Investigation — If indeed “Nothing Happened”

What some call “the war on Christmas” is really defense against some “Christians’” war on all other religions and belief systems.

And the war on the trump crime family is just beginning.

A generation ago, cranky religious conservatives didn’t like municipal ornaments, music in stores, or employees having to wish customers a Merry Christmas.

The War on Christmas is over. Christmas lost (for most of us).

Merry Christmas to the 17 million who lose their health insurance from Donnie and Melanoma!
