Tom Toles for January 11, 2018

Bannon has a net worth of at least $20 million, so if he cuts back on his wardrobe and personal care expenses, he’ll survive until he has a new venue for ideology of hate and division.

It’s the driving back and forth across his victims, or getting the hired help to do it, before he runs over them too. What a guy.

“Dear Mr. Mueller, I have some information you might find interesting…”

ROAD KILL – {rhyme}

Bannon abandons The Donald, does he?

So now he’s road-kill. Formerly wuz he

a feisty rambunctious advisor

to the Oval Office’s kaiser,

powerful tho’ bizarrely unkempt and scuzzy.

R. I. P.

Peace be to thee,

now that you’re road-kill. Rejected

for having from Donald defected.

Bannon serves as an excellent object lesson to any GOPig who thinks it might be a good idea to bad-mouth His Vileness, the Emperor of All Imbeciles, Typhoid Tяumpy. Doing so results in a fate similar to that enjoyed by Kim Jong-un’s uncle, at least politically.

{Off the cartoon’s topic:}

FAST COMES RUINATION – {rhyme}

Fast the sand in the hour-glass sifts

as fast into shoals our ship-of-state drifts.

We’ll soon be destroyed: – √ by Swindles and grifts

as Pols help the Plutocrats give us short shrifts, …

… and – √ by Trumpists’ destructive societal rifts.

HUMPTY TRUMPTY’S DACA MEETING – {rhyme and coda}

The Stable Genius sat on his wall,

not “stable” nor “genius” at all, -

- ‘bout Latinos not hip,

yet flapping his lip

as if his brain is AWOL,

en route to a floundering fall.

… Coda:

His "negotiation”

showed his mind in flotation.

‘Bout immigration

his mind’s in gyration.

{Off the cartoon’s topic:}

PINS AND NEEDLES – {rhyme}

On pins and needles, Americans are antsy.

Infested by the Right, our prospects are chancy

that we can survive the Far-rightists’ rants, the

leadership’s lies (on fire are their pants}, the

ways the Plutocrats enhance their expanse, the

ways the Trumpites parade and prance, the

so forth and so on.

America’s soon gone.

Brings to mind this charming ditty: https://youtu.be/N96dIqOG87M (Full disclosure: They’re friends, but I don’t eat at their house…)

Over the past two years, we’ve been trying to find an historical analog for Trump. Hitler has been brought up often, but for a variety of reasons, that’s not appropriate. We may need to reach a little further back in history – Caligula comes to mind.

Compliments of the Insane Clown President.

No, in this case, the lesson is don’t disobey your billionaire overlords. Not that there has been any threat of THAT from the GOP…

And yet, DJTMoron still has support from the GOPigs. C’mon Nov! (I hope.)

Shouldn’t that be “Bigliest”?

He had to be let go, he threatened the Golden Goose that is going to lower taxes on the 1% and get rid of “burdensome” regulations on the oil industry. Although he was a devote racist, his alt-right friends had no love of Jews either and that was probably a deal killer with Sheldon Adelson.

Yeah, I don’t think so. Trump has nowhere near the influence to have had much to do with this.

You can hardly tell the difference, everyone knew he would be out soon – anyone who doesn’t share his last name could be on their last day in the out of control White House.

(with insincere apologies to “Casey at the Bat”)

It looked extremely rocky for the Trump White House that year

With Mueller breathing down their necks, the crooks all shook with fear

Their treason, money-laundering, their high crimes (and their low!)

They knew when Mueller got the goods, then off to jail they’d go

But then a ray of sunshine: they’d forgotten Pardon Pence!

(Whose honesty is none the best, whose brain is rather dense)

Though Jerry Ford played Pardoner, no-one had done it since

No need to serve a prison term, because of Pardon Pence!

He pardoned both the Donalds, also Flynn and Manafort

Jared, Ivanka, Sessions, and all others of that sort

Pence pardoned all that he could find, the traitors and the crooks

(Though, to be fair, Pence met the glare of many dirty looks)

But, sad to say, our story ends in ways to make us weep

For Pence, that mighty Pardoner, picked Ryan for his veep!

Ha ha, right wingers hate each other. Its so funny the way they have to destroy each other. Guess what they think of you?

President Trump is great!!!

A STABLE GENIUS PRESIDENT

(With apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan)

“I am the very model of a stable genius president

On Pennsylvania Ave you’ll find I’m not a frequent resident

The Legislative Branch is something I can always circumvent

Colluding with the Russians was most certainly a non-event…

“I’m honored to reveal that I possess the greatest temperament

I didn’t drain the swamp I just replaced it with a circus tent

And as for gorgeous women I can grab them all with no consent

And still give lots of tax breaks to my cronies in the one percent…

“I’m very good with signing things no one will ever implement

I have the best and biggest words but no clue what they represent

I’m going to build the biggest wall and make Mexico pay the rent

I am the very model of a stable genius president."
