RUDY’S RETAINER-FEE – {limerick}

“Hush money” used as “retainer”

might serve as a Rudy-constrainer

as he talks to the press

‘bout the president’s mess.

To stifle this dude’s a no-brainer.

========

“Fox & Accomplices” – perfect!

The latest incarnation of the Three Stooges: Doooooocy, Guiliani, and Trump! Pie fight anyone?

{Off the cartoon’s topic:}

TRUMP THE NIGHTMARE – {limerick and a ps}

Trump is a nightmare, – a spectre

with a frightening tornado-like vector.

Our nation he’s wrecked her

in every sector.

Might Bernie better direct her?

… PS:

or How ‘bout a series of surge-protectors? -

- to cut off his juice when The Donald hectors.

or Equip his chair with a seat-ejector? -

- activated by a lie-detector.

NURSERY RHYMES – {rhyme}

{#1} Hey Nonny Nonny:

Rudy Giuliani

cannot much help you, Donnie, -

- so flush him down the Johnny.

…

{#2} The Cat and the Fiddle:

BOTH you guys are a riddle

when Facts you mangle and twiddle

while Mueller he grills you there on his griddle.

Hush hush sweet Rudi , he’ll love you till YOU"RE FIRED.

“FAUX and Fiends” comes through again, helping to dig Trumpy’s pit deeper and deeper, with Rudy Doody’s help, of course…

Even the FAUX-Bots can’t figure out how to deal with Rudy’s “Confession”.

You know things have gotten bad when the hosts of “Fox and Friends” have more credibility than the people they are interviewing.

There is clearly some Rashomon effect here. For the folks who didn’t vote for America to become one more of Putin’s vassal states this is ridiculous and awful. But for those who think being ruled by a Russin puppet “Makes them great again” this is NOT going to look bad. This is someone saying “This is Normal. If we all agree this is Normal then we can go back to screaming BENGHAZI at those who don’t act like us.” If we let this become normal more of this is going to happen.

Kakocracy in action…

Crooked Trump buys silence so he can act like a criminal.

Rudy, I think using the word “funnel” to describe the movement of money was a bad word choice, don’t cha think?

Aaah! A day without Toles is a day without brainshine…

This is just so funny, and sad at the same time. Rudy is supposed to be a lawyer. I have an Associates Degree in Legal Assisting, or a Paralegal if you will, so I only know a little about law, and yet it appears that even I know more about law than this supposed lawyer. Where did he pass his Bar, Goobersville?

Fer Christ sake its a court settlement, not a payout. If it were a payout he’d have the IRS asking why there’s a large sum of money missing from his business account.

Now he just has to pay off everyone who has heard the news story.

Sure, now that Trump has access to trillions of dollars of tax money he can bribe anyone at anytime.

God, what fools these mortals be! Thanks, Will. You had Trump pegged way in advance!

‘Shut Up’ money is about the same as ‘Hush’ money.

But, don’t worry, Donny will just deduct this latest “contribution” off his next year’s taxes. He does it “all the time”.

While we’ve been distracted by Trump’s peccadilloes , his Attorney General, Jeff Sessions has been dismantling protections for disabled Americans. 22% of American adults have a disability…that includes our Veterans by the way. Access to facilities and medical diagnostic equipment were guaranteed to be Improved for millions of Americans who face considerable difficulty getting care due to inaccessible equipment in public and private settings. Sessions is rescinding rules from prior administrations related to Title II and III of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Tom’s Rudy looks a bit like South Park’s Timmy!TIMMAAYY!
