Tom Toles for December 10, 2017

Let the world burn, Republicans want more coal, solar and wind don’t bribe.

The Rump believes that if you deny it enough, it is “fake news”.

They don’t care if half the country is trashed and burned just solong as they win in the end with full control of this country and us.

What Dumbo is dumping on everyone is simply retardant.

DUMBO JET – {rhyme and coda}

Repugnantans blow a retardant dose

from out of their party’s “Dumbo Jet”.

Demented? Retarded? Comatose?

Ain’t This the dumbest thing Rs’ve done yet?

… Coda:

“Jumbo”-sized, these dunces’ hats.

Leave such things up to Democrats.

========

Even the ignorance and stupidity of the Trumpuglicans cannot overshadow the commitment and bravery of the firefighters. Best wishes.

BTW, how is Puerto Rico doing?

{Off the cartoon’s topic:}

GORDIAN KNOTS – {rhyme}

On his “demerits list” we find amply listed

a great many notes that Trump has twisted

America in Gordian knots

which cause us trouble. Lots.

By Mueller’s sword he might be resisted.

=========

CIVILITY’S CESSATION – {1.60 limericks}

May Repugnantans not have impunity

for their taking so much opportunity

to be the causation

of our nation’s mutation

to a mess of abject disunity

and flustered frustration

and civility’s cessation

and loss of our sense of community.

======

{Off the cartoon’s topic:}

FERRETS – {rhyme}

Mueller’s team of ferrets

ferrets out The Donald’s demerits.

This regime they seek to repair its

pig-headed too-fast proceeding

to ruin the nation, – to impair its

abilities to keep on succeeding.

========

What’s bad for big business in the next quarter seems to be the only thing that drives the current administration to do anything. I wish we had a real conservative party and a real progressive party instead of two neoliberal supply-side parties that always seem to favor big business.

P.S. Can’t wait to see the FCC vote goes …

That GOP plane is spraying old hot (fart ridden) air from the last year’s Congressional debates.

That isn’t retardant, it’s returdant!

With the tax plan in hand, the Dumbo Jet will go nicely with the Jumbo Debt…

Retard means to slow, They aren’t slow. They are fast in wanting us to live crappy short lives in service to them. We will be the fodder for their too rich and opulent lives. They may start planting trees over our unmarked graves as time goes on. The greenest grass and tallest trees as testament to their skullduggery and murderous intent. If not buried deep enough some bones may show through the verdance to the light of day. But they will already have lies to service them well taught by “teachers” who simply mouth what is printed on the forms they recite as per their corporate masters have deemed useful into the coming generations so that they won’t be startled into questioning their false scenarios they have well researched and turned into psychology that can mold young minds from the beginning. (That is if they win in the end. Even if it is just for 157 years it will be deeply marked on the world not just here.)

Good one Tom. “Dumbo Jet.”
