Tom Toles for January 14, 2018

It’s as sad as it gets.

REVOLVING DOOR – {limerick and coda}

With this ugly revolving door,

humans’ rights we ignore.

What could be more

rotten to the core?

This policy we should abhor.

… Coda:

It’s neurotically misanthropic

when we oughta be philanthropic.

======

Can’t believe I am seeing that in print

And the GOPig shitholes still goosestep behind the POTUS shithole.

BLACK HOLE – {1.40 limericks}

A “black hole" is Trump’s fearsome maw.

It drags us down through his craw,

where we become slush

and then down we flush, -

- so it’s TRUMP who’s the “sh*thole”.

He plays an unfit role; …

… the worst prez we ever saw.

=======

And this is interesting…Shortly after 9:30 a.m. on Friday, Fox News host Sandra Smith noted that her network “has confirmed” that President Trump indeed called African countries “shitholes” during a meeting with lawmakers on Thursday. “President Trump lamented ‘s—hole countries’ during immigration negotiations on Thursday with lawmakers in the Oval Office, Fox News has confirmed,” a story on the network’s website reads. That put President Trump’s favorite network at odds with the word of the president.

So, WHICH ONE IS THE LIAR, FAUX Noise, or Dumb Donnie Dumpsterfire?? It HAS to be ONE or the OTHER, there are NO other choices…

OUR SCATOLOGICAL PRESIDENT – {rhyme}

His mouth is as foul as a baby’s lap

when he speaks of nations as places of crap.

He zaps with his yap, thus causing a flap.

Might duct-tape preclude a further mishap?

Let’s do our nation a yuugely yuuge favor, -

- by restraining this scatological raver.======

Bad things happen when the president has no self-respect.

Got my high top boots on and pulling my pant legs up. The s—- is getting deep.

Trump is fixing the problem of people wanting to come here by making a nation nobody will want to be in.

Last one out, be sure and turn off the torch.

{Off the cartoon’s topic:}

A PESTILENT PRESIDENT – {1.40 limericks}

It’s a problem quite consequential

that The Donald ain’t presidential.

‘Twould be preferential

were Trump residential

in a looney bin, …

… ’tho to doctors’ chagrin

he’d also be there pestilential.

Meanwhile, as all eyes are on Trump’s antics, the House passed a reauthorization of the Spy On Americans Act (oops, they call it FISA, don’t they?). 80% of Republicans voted for it, but it still wouldn’t have passed without Democratic votes; 35% of them voted for it.

Ain’t bipartisanship great?

Evil Republicans are trying to reverse all of our American values.

Wanted to thank the nice things people said about my “Pence at the Bat” poem the other day, and to apologize for the duplications (which were even worse over on another cartoon!) I can’t seem to delete the duplicates (my computer being old enough that I bought it at Julius Caesar’s garage sale), because the tricks I used before GoComics made their changes don’t seem to work anymore. (I can’t even get into GoComics the way I used to.)

Reich Wingers are taking us to the Dark Side of our country. Empire, hatred, violence, murder, torture all is what they want. All of us in chains.

Democratic Rep. John Lewis, a leader in the civil rights movement who marched alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said he thinks the president “is a racist.”

Liberty’s on shithole watch,

While liberties our Prez doth botch.

But with her torch

Upon his porch

She’ll stick THAT in his crotch!
