Tom Toles for January 17, 2018

Oh Lord, the mind runs riot:

Least humble.

Least intelligent.

Least honorable.

Least patriotic.

Least well-informed.

Least well-read.

Least respectable.

Least trustworthy.

Least loyal.

Least helpful.

Least friendly.

Least courteous.

Least kind.

Least obedient.

Least cheerful.

Least thrifty (with other people’s money…).

Least brave.

Least clean, in thought, speech or deed.

Least reverent (despite what the evangelicals say…).

Ergo, Least a Boy Scout.…and so forth.

Therefore Mike Pence is more racist than Trump. Would love to know how to measure racism so we can all strive to be ‘the least’…

The dems love to throw the word Racist when they have no more talking points.

POTTY-MOUTH- {rhyme}

His mouth is like a commode

which reeks of the stanky load

of his ugly invectives

from racists’ perspectives:

“They come from dirty ratholes

which also are nasty scatholes.”

========

Don’t forget, you also know more about ISIS than the generals.

Realistically, Trump has the kind of support at the electoral level that the Democrats don’t. If we look at the trends, the Democratic party has an identity problem … that they should be working now not in November of 2018 or 2020.

" …

Republicans actually don’t need to outright win—or even come close to winning—any of these demographic categories in order to come out ahead. If minority turnout is low, Republicans win. If Democrats fail to capture 2012 levels of black, Hispanic and Asian votes, they lose. It doesn’t really matter if lost votes go to Republicans or independents—the outcome is the same.

The Republicans have a problem too, but not as immediate.

A HATEFULLY HATE-FULL PRESIDENT – {1.40 limericks}

Trump makes life much harder

for even a legit green-carder.

As immigrant-discarder,

as civility-retarder,

his hatreds burn with such ardor.

Boy, is he hateful

in being so hate-full.

======

How one can ignore the daily lies that this man spouts amazes me.

{Off the cartoon’s topic:}

DEAR DIARY – {rhyme}

Dear Dear Diary:

While auto-tires spin on streets by ice glazed,

we’re warm by our hearths, by winter unfazed.

But distressing news has us stunned and dazed

by the boilings and broilings by Trumpites so crazed

and so very fiery

that soon they’ll destroy us, – us torched and razed.

May soon the Trumpites be re-appraised

so that quickly their tenure be halted, – and phased

on out to expiry.

=========

Trump is turning America into an evil place, thanks to the lying, racist and thieving Republicans who support him.

A review by BuzzFeed of all Trump Organization condominium sales since the 1980s shows that 1,300 sales totaling $1.5 billion were made in cash by anonymous shell companies. “Those two characteristics signal that a buyer may be laundering money, the Treasury Department has said in a series of statements since 2016.”

He’s actually stupid enough to believe that.

The Birther in Chief is the biggest racist there is.

{Off the cartoon’s topic:}

THE NEWS CREATES DREAD – {limerick}

The news is so wild and so woolly

that we can’t stay abreast of it fully.

But THIS can be said: -

- It’s chock-full of dread

that Trump will continue to bully.

======

Famous denials from on high:

“I am not a crook.”

“I did not have sex with that woman.”

“I am not a racist.”

Considering the kind of people Trump hangs around with, it’s possible that he really is the least racist person HE knows. And he’s less racist than the people on Fox News and Breitbart, which are his other sources of information.

Antique and others keeps coming up with the same two ‘lies’ by Pres. Obama. I guess there aren’t any more to be found.

Antiquetracman, For my own peace of mind, I removed the political cartoons which were the antithesis of what I believe. You might consider doing the same.

Trump has an endless supply of lies.

John 8:44New International Version (NIV). 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

He forgot to say, “I am the most modest President, EVER!”

Hey, only 2000 lies in his first year. I’m sure he can do better.
