Fake Braggard Incompetence?

LOVE his tiny finger picking his huge nose!

The Rump would love that, as long as the “Minnie-Me” doesn’t steal the limelight.

HIS CLONE HELPS HIM OWN – {limerick and coda}

’Tho demented, he’s nonetheless sly; -

- with his clone as the FBI guy,

he’ll thereby get by

with stealing our pie.

What could go wrong or awry?

… Coda:

By deploying this clone,

he’ll relax on his throne

while gnawing the bones

of the nation he owns.

======

Sorry, Donald, you’re too busy telling FIB’s to work for the FBI.

The Mouth That Roared is lucky J. Edgar isn’t still in charge of the FBI. He would have released so much dirt on the orange-haired one that even the base wackos would have dropped him.

It’s not easy being, like, a stable genius.

{Off the cartoon’s topic:}

MUELLER AS GARDENER – {a rhyme and a note}

Mueller should prune him Now or

quite soon,

because right now it’s an hour

opportune

to pluck off the noxious flower

and prune

it back, lest the Trump-weed devour

our hopes, – like a man-eating plant

which strangles us ’til we can’t

survive in a weed-patch so scant

re our former quality of life,

now threatened by Trumpian strife.

… … Note to Bob Mueller:

Please replace Trump’s “MAGA” with “MAWFA” {“Make America Weed-Free Again”}.

========

“Send in the Clones…”

Now all he has to do is find someone to HONESTLY trust him. It will soon be run for cover time.

“Hi, I’m Eric, and I’m the new head of the F.B.I.!” AAAUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!

tRump couldn’t run a free beer stand with Ivanka as bait.

{Off the cartoon’s topic:}

THANK YOU, DONALD – {rhyme and coda}

Trump straightens out our confusion; -

- ’twas merely the Democrats’ illusion.

There’s never been a collusion

to facilitate a Rooskie intrusion, -

- and no obstructions

of Mueller’s deductions.

… Coda:

Thanks, Donald. We are relieved.

And thanks for all you’ve achieved.

Our faith in you you’ve retrieved;

in you again we’ve believed.

NUNES HE MOONS US – {limerick}

It’s malarkey that Nunes he spoons us

with his memo quite Looney Toons-ous.

and he shows us his [censored]

in this memo quite crass, -

- and Trump smiles that Nunes he moons us.

==========

A lot of Mini-me characters are wreaking havoc in federal agencies now, why should we expect the FBI to be immune? Rule of law? Gone.

Republicans love their know nothing, Putin loving fascist, Trump.

Due to Republican tax breaks for the rich;

Government set to borrow nearly $1 trillion this year, an 84 percent jump from last year

Regarding the memo’s allegations of FBI bias, Bill Maher nailed it Friday night when he said it would be like accusing exterminators for bias against termites.

This cartoon appears to use the single weird gesture and expression absent to date from Trump’s repertoire but I have not seen all off Trump’s photos. It becomes him. The smaller version is clearly an improvement on Eric.

A cautionary tale about the dangers of human cloning!

Is it going too far to compare Trump to charismatic 20th century tyrants like Hitler or Mussolini? In some ways it is, MacMillan says. ‘He’s not a Hitler — he doesn’t head a fascist party — and the Republican Party is more and more divided by the day. But I think he’s like Mussolini in wanting public attention and portraying himself as the great strong man, making grand gestures and searching for enemies. He’s a lot like some of the Latin American dictators like Chavez or Castro or Perón — claiming to speak for the people; loving the crowds… Making promises — “I will give you money and jobs” — then blaming “our enemies” when they aren’t delivered.’
