Tom Toles for October 30, 2019

Is he talking about himself?

Trump said that Al Baghdadi was “a coward” and “a dog” (as if somehow to suggest that dogs — some of the greatest heroes in history — are cowards?)

Well, funny thing, turns out a DOG was one of the heroes in the tracking down of Al Baghdadi. (Other heroes were the Turks, who continued to provide intelligence from their inside infiltrator even after betrayed by Trump, who almost derailed the whole operation.) And it turns out that, UNLIKE DONALD TRUMP, this dog was no coward.

While Republicans now are following in the footsteps of Trump’s mocking of John McCain, a war hero, and Gold Star families, as they belittle and besmirch a 20-year career military hero, who was injured by an IED in Iraq, remained in theater to complete his tour, and got a Purple Heart (and numerous other decorations) and is widely acclaimed.

Republicans are trying to smear a bona fide military hero to protect a draft dodger, while Trump equates dogs with cowards, while a real HERO DOG went and (unlike Trump) served heroically and NEVER CLAIMED PAW SPURS.

He’s been whining, crying, and screaming his BS for decades.

LOL!

Everything Trump says is “projection” of one sort or another. Since Trump can admit to no faults – he assigns his numerous faults and failings to others. It’s just amazing how “perfect” Trump is and how “flawed” everyone else is.

How he hears things no one else can is beyond strange – I wonder if Trump answers the voices in his head?

Or, as non Disciples call him, a dog.

Caught, ergo Overwrought – {1.60 limericks}

The prez of a crooked regime

tried many a crooked scheme.

When finally caught,

he was overwrought,

and he raged in a furious scream:

“It’s my Accusers who’re bad!!

Poor ME; I’ve been had!!” -

- {a sociopath’s asinine theme}.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

He likely will be, but like Al Baghdadi it likely won’t be on video either, unfortunately.

Now, now; get hold of yourself, Dotard. You do NOT have a split personality – that’s one mental disorder you’re free of – so speaking of yourself in the plural as “Traitors!” and “Spies!” isn’t correct. (Or did you think of it as the Royal “We”?)

Thence Comes Pence – {1.40 limericks}

Hear us complain and lament

that th’ ‘lectoral College has sent

this Michael Pence creep

to be Donald’s veep: -

- After Trump’s descent,

it’s Pence who’ll torment

us as next our pres-i-dent.

… Coda:

Impeach The Donald and Thence comes Pence

as a Faulty Election’s bad Consequence.

. . . . . . . . .

Caught by the ‘jaws’ of lies.

Havahart traps wouldn’t work for this mean critter.

Good one, Tom!

I wonder how loudly he will be screaming and ranting and bellowing about “Foreign Interference!!” when he loses in November, 2020, AND, will the Federal Marshals have to bodily DRAG HIM out of the White House in Jan. 2021 so President Warren can move in?

I would LOVE to see them literally toss his fat ass onto Pennsylvania Avenue, FACE FIRST on the pavement…

It would seem that his trashing of Lt. Col. Vindman is causing anger on both sides of the aisle. About bloody time!https://tinyurl.com/yyffolfq

Trump’s axiom: The amount of invective employed is in direct proportion to the amount of truth in the claim being denied.

{Off-topic:}

Prosperity Versus Posterity – {a rhyme}

Climate-change warms hence harms our posterity.

This disaster is caused by quests for prosperity, -

- by plutocrats seeking wealth

by politicking in stealth

so that politicians are fiddlling,

and feckless, – their thumbs a-twiddling

while the world sinks deeply steeped in austerity.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Since the first of the year I’ve often observed that it seems as if Speaker Pelosi has a (tiny) bit of Tяцmp’s anatomy, found rather higher up, clamped tightly in the jaws of her purse. Oh, the whimpering and crying and screaming…

Trump is a text book perfect case of psychological projection.

I want my country back. I want to be able to trust and respect my neighbors again, knowing that we all hear the same verified news from unimpeachable sources and that we all have learned as part of our essential education, what The US Constitution really says, not a politically/ideologically distorted interpretation. I tire of the political parties war on each other that carries over to We the People.

oh SNAP! This is the best Toles I’ve seen in awhile.

Funny, none of the others who were there remember any crying or screaming. It is never enough when he wins, he always has to “embellish” the truth.

Cant wait to see him crying and screaming as they perp walk him to the paddy wagon. You know he will whine like a chihuahua. His dignity will be like his bone spurs: nonexistent.

Toles goes yard; he is the best…

You can kill the followers but you need to kill the memes they have generated that resonate with people even raised and living in places like the USA, Britain and Germany.

He’s been doing that since inauguration day.

he’ll use bone spurs as an excuse to claim immunity from impeachment…

Dictator Donald always wants you to feel sorry for his lying racist selfish problems he creates for himself.

The Republicans have outed The Whistleblower. His name is Eric Ciaramella. He is an American hero. Trump is trying to get him killed

Lock him up! Lock him up!

I can’t watch. Somebody tell me if he gnaws his foot off to escape.

(I suspect it’s more likely he’ll gnaw someone else’s foot off, even if it doesn’t help him escape.)

{giggle} Projection TV! Love it!
