Tom Toles for January 24, 2020

I’m hoping the artist avatar is wrong about the contagious part. For at least a majority of us.

Can we euthanize the patient before they get murdered?

More like an STD than coronavirus.

Trump’s Ultimate Deal – {4 beats/line}

This is the ultimate Trump-made deal:

{1} The Constitution we rescind and repeal,

so that {2} Trump gets a kingship bizarre and surreal. -

- The Donald has brought our country to heel.

Feigning zeal, we subjects must kneel.

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

And on the Trump coat of arms — a grinning bull “servicing” a cash cow in a field of greenbacks — is written “Regis Voluntas Suprema Lex Esto!” (The King Becomes the Supreme Law!)

This is EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS, and WE HAVE TO STOP HIM!!! By ANY MEANS POSSIBLE!!!

Again, why is Republican party so hell bent on supporting Trump? Have they completely given up their individual thinking capability? Why are some folks who previously opposed him suddenly his big supporters?

“The Dunce and Putrid King”

King Donald the First resides high on his throne,

His Highness is awe-full, as world-wide is known.

The corona of hair makes mere mortals to stare,

His piercing blue gaze says, “Opponents — BEWARE!

.

Croesus the king would appear as dirt poor

If compared to King Donald with billions galore.

And Canute who showed he could not stop the tide

Would be mocked at by Donald, his failure deride.

.

Donald the All Mighty, Donald the Brave!

If had not he bone spurs, the Army he’d crave.

Donald the Honest is always so truthful!

(Believe that when you’ve had a good snoot full.)

.

White power knights, squires, and big bosomed ladies;

His sycophants, serfs, and shady law maties

All bow to his blinding bright, golden nimbus.

They then kneel down and solemnly his ring buss.

.

How bless-ed we are to live in his life’s zone,

To receive his tweet wisdom straight from his phone!

Give thanks to On High, sing joyfully hymns!

Our cup sloppeth over, with gratitude brims!

“Le caca c’est moi.”

Turning a multi-cultural constitutional democrat republic into an exclusive monocultural dictatorship is “child’s play” compared to defending and sustaining a multi-cultural constitutional democrat republic with liberty and just for all. Some concepts are too complex for some of our 116th Congress members to comprehend. With the only constraints being chronological age and birthright (rather than avowed-loyalty to US ideals) as a basis of citizenship you do indeed get the government you deserve.

How fitting that the obsequious rats look like elephants.

King Louis XIV: “L’état, c’est moi.” (I am the state.); King Donnie I: “Merde, c’est moi.”

IMPOTUS is definitely infected with something.

Trumps trick on how he gets votes is he goes to very rural and depressed areas and brainwashes the ignorant masses, and they vote for him…not really knowing the true facts…they’re just interested in their guns, ammo, and abortion so that’s what he promises them….the moon and in return they get nothing and they don’t even know it.

Pukeface….in reality, the King RAT has no clothes….his true self is known…..

In case some readers didn’t get the pun, “corona” is Latin (and now Spanish) for “crown”. (It’s also the name of a constellation, a brand of beer, a type of cigar, etc.)

The final stage of Affluenza. Sadly, not terminal.

The elephants look like rats. Stop voting for right wing rats.

{Off-topic:}

Angst – {limerick}

Our angst it never relents: -

- Soon we might see commence

a tenure of Pence

with Trump’s precedents,

at the expense of common sense.

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

Trump team warns GOP senators, ‘Vote against the president and your head will be on a pike’

“Well now what can a poor boy do, except to sing for a rock n’ roll band? ‘Cause in sleepy London town there’s just no place for a street fighting man.” Mick & Keith, prescient political observers, 1968

A perversion of Busby Berkeley.

I hope they find a cure or prevention for the Corona virus. I miss my Mexican beer…

Those elephants are looking like rats today.

Would Donald II succeed him? Would Barron be a baron? Just getting prepared here…

That corona thing has infected most of the senator’s and is spread by Fox News

When amoebas worship a paramecium………

“Off with his head!” Isn’t that what is cried when the kingdom’s citizens are fed up with their ruler?

Why would the Chinese name a virus after a Mexican beer?

Bird Box.

Looks like Davros with his minions, the Daleks.
