Tom Toles for October 02, 2020

The President and the First Lady have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.

We have to not only vote, but vote in such overwhelming numbers that even a sociopathic narcissist cannot twist things.

If there is a place to vote, mail in your ballot or drop it off at a collection box. The republicans in Texas are up to their dirty tricks again.

The other way to make that happen ? Covid-19. Thoughts and prayers.

For those that believe, the time for a plea is now, Trump is positive so send this plea:

“Please Lucifer, take Trump home now, we beseech you”

And now the wisdom of his family not wearing masks becomes clear.

Win or loss or virus, he won’t shut up as long as he is physically able to speak or tweet.

Well, it appears Ma nature may have another option.

Shut Up!! – {4 beats/line}

How long are we stuck // with this motormouthed schmuck?

How often we’re struck // by his tongue gone amuck.

Will Trump zip his lip // when we shut him down?

Will the voters’ pink slip // get rid of this clown?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A ventilator will shut him up.

Being voted out will NOT shut the Dotard up, more’s the pity. It’ll give him another excuse to scream about being cheated.

A Fable

—) —) In the Trumpocalyptic Wasteland once called Democracy, after a long perilous journey Everyvoter finally nears Polling Place. He has nearly lost hope of reaching it. The White Corvi, carrion crows, have many times attempted to snatch his Future from the nest. He and others, like little finches, flew in pursuit trying to drive them away. The thieving characteristics of the Corvidae were well known, yet they were allowed to roost in many neighborhoods.

Lord of the Locusts shrieks angrily from his White Nest. As Chimera of Man, Insect, and Carrion Bird, he has frightened many to subservience with artful lies and threats. Some have inexplicably come to worship him and his glittering plumage.

But try as they might, he and his Swarms have not been able to completely destroy Polling Place. For it has a divine protective Aura that survives his assaults. Everyvoter has braved flood, fire, plague, riots, and all kinds of insidious suppression to get this far. At last, he wearily trudges through formerly waving fields of Truth, now diseased patches of Lies; amid a cacophony of noise, with a last glimmer of Hope, he resolutely approaches.

In a last desperate effort, the Locust Lord wails for pity due to claimed illness — though pity he gave few others with incessant cries of “Hoax-Hoax-Hoax!” Will Everyvoter heed this possible ruse?

The end of this Fable is not yet written … (— (—

I was wondering what the “October surprise” was going to be.

Toughest job in the world this morning: Dr. Fauci, who has to refrain from saying, “I told you so.”

Losing the election will not shut him up, but at least he’ll have to scramble to get coverage and can be safely (and wisely) ignored. My concern is still over the peaceful transition of power.

What’s the chance this is just another stunt from the great turd?

Someone cough up a lung, then I’ll consider some sympathy.

Sympathy? Who am I kidding? Have the gravedigger on standby.

Covid Excuse: Only reason I lost is because I couldn’t campaign for the most strategic final 4 weeks

Thoughts and prayers

“Shut the &$%# up, Donny.”

Seems COVID-19 has added another option.

It’s not nice to mess with Mother Nature!

Angry, amoral, belligerent, deranged, deluded, irrational, and vindictive are not attributes you want to see in a guy who’s in control of nuclear weapons.

Vote out every covid spreading, lying, racist, Putin loving, anti science, anti American Republican. They want to destroy the USA to make Trump their dictator.

COVID revelation is Trump’s most liked tweet

You can’t shut him up. But you can ignore the fat gasbag.

Oh, there might be other ways to shut him up…

Trump re Covid – {a pair of limericks}

The Donald will lie to inspire us

that we needn’t much fear the virus:

“It’s not hurting Me,

so let’s all agree

to vote to Keep not Retire us.”

… …

And Trump will continue to prate

that “I’ve made the virus abate,

so return to your tasks

with no need for masks

and Again Make America Great.”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

{Off-topic:}

Hilarious – {limerick}

Putin must think it hilarious

that Trump makes things so precarious

as a mental midget

who’s a “useful [idiot] idjit”,

and whose schemes are so bigly nefarious.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

{Off-topic:}

On the Ropes – {1.40 limericks}

Our economy’s on the ropes,

so they Lie to enkindle hopes

that we’re Not so moribund

‘cause Republicans plan to fund

a recuperation

from the Covid-stagnation.

[{ The folks who Believe them are dopes. }]

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As of today there is an alternative means of Trump’s egress.

Voting for a republican is like voting for suicide by covid and the end of the environment due to global warming.

Right about now, scattered here and there all across the District of Columbia, 15 people are carefully reviewing the 25th Amendment.

{Off-topic:}

Not Invincible? – {3 beats/line}

What? – He ain’t invincible

to Covid’s invasive attack?

Wadn’t it incomprehensible

that HE could be taken aback?

… Coda: – {4 beats/line}

We hope there’s no Other maniac

who’d drag our nation so far off-track.

. . . . . . . . . . .

This man has lied many times and I don’t know whether this is another political ploy to garner more supporters or get sympathy from his Senate yes-men.

@jimmjonzz: “The President and the First Lady have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.”

I’m waiting for Fat and Lady to “sing”.
