Yep.

We’ve been at the four legs good two legs better stage for a while now.

How’s a pig less evolved than an elephant?

Their hooves are growing smaller by the day.

tRump is not the disease, he’s merely the latest and last symptom. The ReTrumplican infection occurred decades ago with the adoption of the “Southern Strategy.” It incubated with relatively mild, trickle-down symptoms during St. Ronnie’s administration, and was likewise reasonably asymptomatic during Bush the OK’s reign. The arrival of Clinton, however, also heralded the emergence of primary stage symptoms that were manifested by the chancre that was Newt Gingrich and his feckless and febrile impeachment fiasco. Bush the Horrible’s reign then displayed fully systemic secondary stage ReTrumplicanism, as was manifested by a spectrum of military, economic and administrative disasters. By that stage, Bush II and the entire GOP was reduced to “thinking with their gut.” Barack Obama’s election resulted in a hideous and disfiguring rash party wide, accompanied by an utter inability to think rationally in any respect and the demise of the last of the “intellectual” RINOs. What we are now presented with is ReTrumplican Disease on full display in its tertiary, and terminal, stage. It’s certainly a revolting, in every sense of the word, spectacle. Complete loss of cognitive function and bowel control, accompanied by hysterical raving and utterly irrational ideation manifested by the emergence of The Donald and a host of lesser symptoms. At this point, faced as we all are with full-blown ReTrumplican Disease, all that can be done is isolation to prevent it’s further spread. We shall mourn the passing of a once great political party and the grievous damage it caused to our still great, but now reduced, nation.

Q: Are we not R’s?A: We are DEVO

The republicans have always been the pig party.More tax breaks for billionaires anyone?

Paul Ryan Proposes Massive Tax Cut For the Rich That Adds $100 Billion To Deficit

Republican tax breaks for the rich are not free, you have to make up the difference with your taxes while republicans cut essential services and let the infrastructure rot to line their own pockets.

What makes an elephant higher up the evolutionary ladder than a pig?-Problem here is that evolution does not work that way.-And the reason why evolution does not work that way is because each being has their own path to follow—it’s why we still have monkeys roaming the earth alongside humans.-One species does not always evolve into another, instead, it’s “branches” of the family tree that evolve into another species while other branches evolve into something different according to their needs—it’s why apes are still around and knuckle-walking while humans went completely bipedal, freeing up their arms to do something else.-As for pigs and elephants, they may have had a common ancestor some 300 million years ago like most other mammals including us may have had, but one group evolved into elephants over time while another group evolved into pigs as each group had to adapt to their new conditions.

Oh the irony. Last presidential election the republicans were so into lipstick on a pig. Appears their goal was to become that pig with the lipstick may have paid off.

One evening in OctoberWhen I was about one-third soberAnd was taking home a load with manly prideMy poor feet began to stutterSo I lay down in the gutterAnd a pig came up and lay down by my side

Then we sang “It’s All Fair Weather”And “Good Fellows Get Together”Till a lady passing by was heard to sayShe says, “You can tell a man who boozesBy the company he chooses”And the pig got up and slowly walked away-————————————————————————————————-The bulk of the members of the Republican party has chosen to lie down with pigs so it shouldn’t be surprising that they get up with……well, you know, all over themselves.

This gives pigs a bad name.Boys will be boys, and these boys dream of having their little tiny fingers on the button. For the first time in 240 years – a US presidential candidate described his size to the country.The race for the GOP presidential candidacy has devolved into a race for the bottom. The party of Lincoln has become the party of Larry Flint, and Trump is the hustler. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/pigs

How long til the slot on the back developes.

My Father-in-law was a farmer. His observations were that pigs are MUCH smarter than other animals.The problem with elephants is that they never forget, even when what they remember is wrong!
