Tom Toles for March 14, 2017

The repubs are not above eating their own. When the time is right, they will eviscerate the Rump and take complete control.

John isn’t alone, they just find some more Repulbicans to “grow a pair”.

I believe my two earlier co-commenters are indulging in wishful thinking. I believe we are saddled with this yahoo for four years. In two we can kick enough Repugs out of national office to at least make it a struggle for them to push through any more of their Bankrupt the US Treasury Now campaign.

John Mccain and Lindsey Graham are the only obvious repubs who seem to actually care about the truth. I disagree with their politics, but they do have integrity (“a pair”). All the other repubs are grovelling at the feet of the Rump, ready to pounce any time.

SPOOFS WITHOUT PROOFS {a rhyme}

How long will we let him spoof

with assertions ‘bout which there’s no proof?

For instance, Trump can’t report

any facts which might support

that Obama has bugged the realm

where Trump mishandles the helm.

So MUCH that he says goes “Poof”!!

=======

Trump cares about Republican captives. Soldiers, not so much. But let’s give them more expensive weapons to kill those evil “others.”

SUBJECT-DIVERSIONS {a rhyme}

Against The Donald we have an aversion

when he falsely asserts, – to create diversion

from realities which’d give him trouble,

from realities which’d pop his bubble.

Such subjects-diversion is Democracy’s subversion.

========

Until “The Emeror’s New Clothes” are revealed by more Repugs, the beat goes on.

Republiclans will always put party before country.

THIS CAN’T CONTINUE {a rhyme}

√ Too much news;

his elderly eyes are bleary.

√ Much to confuse;

doubtful assertions to query.

√ Unfounded views;

much about which to be leery.

√ Not many clues

which confirm his wistful theory

that this nonsense can’t continue

in our “democratic” venue.

DEPRESSION {a limerick and an image}

The senior citizen sat

and watched his world go flat.

His old age was ending

in a spiral descending

down a Trump-built commode. Ker-splat!!

==========

DECONSTRUCTIVE OBSTRUCTIONS {a limerick}

Among our nation’s too-muches

is that Trump is in Bannon’s clutches.

Bannon obstructs

and deconstructs

Ever’durn’thang that he touches.

THUS SPEAKS the TRUMPITE {1.40 limericks}

“Give us views which confirm our bias

so opposing viewpoints can’t pry us

even when factual,

realistic and actual.

We’ll not let Smart folks defy us.” -

- Thus speaks the Trumpster,

his brain in a dumpster.

========

McCain didn’t ‘demand’ anything.

For Republicans, wiretapping is not really wiretapping at all.

And a military operation is not really a military operation.

And treason is not really treason, especially if you make money from it.

Yeah. Give him some time. He’s a neophyte at this stuff. Don’t take what he says literally. Believe everything out of his twitterhole. Health care for everybody that’s better and cheaper. Crowd size, penis size, voter fraud, bugging his wires. I’ll give him some time when he starts acting like a POTUS.

Ivanka (who might be Trump’s daughter) should take him aside and whisper, “If you can’t sleep at 4 in the morning, maybe you should watch old Bugs Bunny cartoons. Do ANYTHING except tweet!”

Trump always liked soldiers who didn’t get captured better, he doesn’t like gold star families or generals. He generally doesn’t like the military unless they are giving him some pomp. Now you can see why, people who have been through such things have ideas about our country and freedoms that do not waiver. That is not what the new Republican party is about.

Why do you equate courage with “balls”? Whenever an individual possessing balls gets even a minimal wack to them, he proceeds to fall on the floor, curl into a fetal position, and whine. Vaginas on the other hand are quite capable of taking a pretty good pounding with no complaints at all from their owners.

McCain should have been President 8+ years ago
