Tom Toles for April 12, 2016

Even in the remote chance that Mr. Trump gets elected, he’ll get even less through Congress than Pres. Obama did. Neither party will work with him. The bureaucracy won’t work with him either. He’ll discover that government does not operate like a business. Nor should it.

Since Reagan? Are we forgetting Arms for Hostages? NO IMPEACHMENT or even a little shaming! How about tripling the National Debt? Remember his pledge to lower taxes, increase defense spending and reduce the debt? Well… at least the rich got a tax reduction…. Congress does what the 1% wants!

Are Republicans really conservative?http://www.debate.org/opinions/does-republican-equal-conservativeWill conservatives accept Trump?http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/02/will-conservatives-mount-a-third-party-challenge-if-trump-is-the-nominee/470499/

szWhere is William Buckley when we need him?

I’m sure the trump worshipers are all saying, “Where can I buy the one on the right?”

Trump is such a crybaby (and such a coward) that he objects to people writing TRUE things about him that are unflattering. Thus his insane plan to try (which would never succeed) to change the libel laws. Btw anybody care to bet that when he testifies under oath at his con artist trial that he will LIE under oath? I don’t honestly think little Donnie can help himself!

The Republicans already have Fox news, this would not be much of a leap. Since Fox went against Trump, if he were to reside in the White House, the right would immediately forget the primaries and Fox will be left with no viewers. The new Trump Channel will pick up where Fox left off (probably back room deals will bring in the exact same staff) All the while trumpeting less taxes for the rich (especially now that we all know where their money really goes) and more work for the lazy poor.

GOP…….hooray for me…..and to hell with everyone else!!

I always presume that people with great power and wealth are two or three steps ahead of public awareness of issues, especially issues that involve their wealth. .Does anyone here think possibly Trump is a contrived diversion, a misdirection of attention of the type that magicians use in fooling their audiences? “The Donald Trump Show” might be something for the rubes to watch, while burglars prepare to ransack the country’s house. .Consider it as a detective story, and deduce who would benefit from this smokescreen of amusing nonsense.

That is why Trump Times would not be a stretch. Look forward to each Republican president having his own “news” network that spouts what the real patriots must believe.

Yes, and I was one of the first, at least on this general site, to posit it. Yet, even now, in posting these comments increasingly dismissive of Trump , we are following the pre-planned path set for us marching morons by our elite handlers. Even the most hard-core columnists and cartoonists are against Trump. It’s all in The Plan..(cue the theremin music …)

The truth is stranger than fiction.

We’ve got Trump attacking press, trade war, and deportations. Market sinking is a bit questionable (at least at this point), and no curfews.
