Tom Toles for December 10, 2019

OK, I already posted essentially the same comment on the Mike Luckovich ’toon, and it looks like there is a pattern here. Apparently Trump’s 10-15 flushes is too much for numerous cartoonists to resist, even if their specific responses are unique and original. In any case, they are making the same point so a repeat is in order…

What is it with this fake “president” and his scatological obsessions?

You only have to flush your toilet 10-15 times if you’re either…

a) FULL OF, uhm, POOP (goes to the “environmentalist comment”), or

b) flushing tons of incriminating evidence (goes to obstructing evidence of how Russia interfered with the 2016 election and planning the same for 2020) down the pipes.

And the two are not mutually exclusive … could be both.

Ukraine is interfering with our toilets at the behest of Hunter Biden!

Is that the “server” where he keeps all his transcripts?

Donald John the Mafia Don – {1.40 limericks}

Thus speaks our Donald John // in the words of a Mafia don:

“There’s too much evidence to flush,

so make the snitches shush.

Smush ‘em to mush.

Crush ‘em to slush.

ANYthing to make ‘em hush.”

. . . . . . . . . . .

He does have a point. I finally got sick of the first generation low flow toilet that came with my house and replaced it with one that had the newfangled two stage flush system.

If Trump is so concerned with excessive potty use he can provide an infrastructure bill.

They Dither while We Wither – {rhyme}

The world’s politicians are dithering

while the world they mis-serve is withering, -

- to shrivel soon

like a raisin or prune,

while lobbyists in the swamp keep slithering.

__ {a} The carbon-extracting tycoon

__ {b} The climate-denying loon

__ {c) The orange-haired White House baboon

__ {d} All the above.

Dreams of grandeur and delusion…..go ahead…flush! You can flush a million times and you’re still G U I L T Y !

Are these heading down BEFORE or AFTER all the Congressional Subpoenas he’s ordering his people to ignore…AND THE U.S. CONSTITUTION????

His focus on toilets just shows where he spends most of his time now. It isn’t in the Oval Office getting briefings from experts, it’s sitting on the toilet hate-tweeting something that’s the equivalent of what he just dropped in the bowl…

Really nice how Putin/Trump puts his own crap ahead of the countries interests.

He must have gotten a visit from lobbyists for those water & sewage utilities which have been privatized. “They’re not buying enough of our product!”

Don’t step on the grass, Sam. (“We got some necking goin’ on in there!” “Fooosih, gurgle, gurgle” “Ohhhh…”)

Gives him (the trump) that much more time to ponder and tweet his wisdom… you would think he would like it.

The problem is that old parchment. It just clogs the drain, no matter how small you tear up the pieces.

Most of us know he’s full of crap!

Returning to its source…

In New Zealand, among others, toilets have two buttons, one for pee, the second for poop, which provides the amount of water needed by use. The White House needs a third, for the huge amount of crap produced daily.

I love how Toles draws Donnie the John with nothing north of his eyes except eyebrows.

Like DD Wiz, I’m going to approximate my prior response to other ‘toons: He’s feeding his base, who hate the idea of stupid government regulations on the size of a toilet tank for pity-sake. The rest of us, who understand the reasons behind the regulation see this as silly, but it still pisses them off ! and so this gleans applause from the beer gallery, and that’s what he wants.

10 to 15 flushes…..he really is full of it !
