Tom Toles for April 13, 2018

Well, he does have a paddle, that’s more than I expected.

Birds of a feather flock together.

A shark is a shark is a shark, and they’re circling.

BANNON’S PLAN – {rhyme}

“It’s easy,” says scruffy Steve Bannon,

“to quell the investigation: -

- Just shoot Rosenstein with your cannon,

and stop your cooperation.” …

… Then Trump’s scruffy base

will step up their pace

of denying the facts of the case.

… And Fox will debase

whatEver takes place

if Mueller persists in his chase.

Oh God, is HE back???

Why do people like Bannon and Trump despise a functional democratic republic so much and want to destroy its very foundation? Their sympathies to alt-right group is frightening to most, but not all people born in this country. Why is the concept of everyone being created equal so difficult for them to digest?

He’s not listening Steve. He says he’s keeping Ty Cobb on.

No else wanted him.

Subvert the rule of law for your own selfish purposes. Welcome to what passes for “leadership” in America these days.

Trump even got his name plastered on the Titanic? That shows how quickly his luck will run out.

You sure that ain’t Rosey O’Donnell in drag? I thought Trump was done with Banhon.

Everyone already knows your plan – these guys are so incompetent, they can’t even do their dirty illegal deeds in private, they telegraph them like 2 year olds going for the cookie jar, then throw a tantrum when they are called on it. The only one that can do something about it is the voters, that elephant is running away from the problems we elected it to fix.

I’m listening to Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury as an audio book. Hard to believe, but the level of incompetence, venality, backbiting, and chaos in the White House is even worse than I thot.

Query, why, if you are stopped by law enforcement, if you try to bribe them, you go to jail and are fined, yet our law makers can be bribed, it is known, and nothing is done?

Mercer’s lovechild.

If Trump had been the captain of the Titanic, he would have told the passengers: “Don’t worry, folks. We just stopped to pick up some ice…”

Let’s agree to stop using the term “alt-right” as if it is simply some kind of harmless “alternative” (like choosing Coke over Pepsi or vice-versa). It is the extreme right, the radical right, the Klan right, the Neo-Nazi right, the terrorist right, the traitor right, the bull@@@@ right and the dumb@@@@ right. That’s what THAT is! And that’s what Bannon is.
