Tom Toles for January 31, 2020

Horrible enough to be believable. But in fact, he’s at least somewhat phobic about diseases, so I think he’ll actually just take care to stay away from those horrible Chinese people.

Immunology doesn’t have a solution or Bonesurs contamination yet either.

“I say we take off and nuke the white house from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”

He may become a recluse, like Howard Hughes!!

It would amusing to see Trump rolling around in a human hamster ball to avoid corona virus infection.

Impugned But With Impunity – {3 beats/line}

His presidency has been impugned

and scorned and mockingly cartooned

and scolded and spoofed and lampooned. -

- Yet his fans will grant him impunity

at every opportunity,

and license and privileged immunity.

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

One POS coming up…..

“A Breed Bred to Dread”

.

The tame Republican senators have come to be

A type of dog bred for great versatility:

A balanced mix of lap and comfort and guard,

They are now given free “reign” in the White House yard.

.

So far the fur comes mostly in white. And this critter,

Sad to say, right now has few females in each litter.

It is to be hoped that through breeding that will soon change:

That the number of fur colors will expand in range.

.

(A smaller version has been bred and is popular,

It attends in packs ev’ry Trump rally spectac’lar.

Barking and howling, jumping up from their seats,

We see them all gobble down the flung-out red meats.)

.

Good doggies, they lie panting at the feet with bone spurs

Of their master, dozing off and on like lazy curs —

But they are ever ready and ever alert

To paw in his trash-talk pile and roll in its dirt!

And yes, he IS THIS EFFING STUPID!!!!

John Bolton=, as NSA official, removed the position for experts to handle pandemics from the WH staff. They have no one in place to deal with coronavirus.

I wouldn’t mind seeing him bleeding from his eyes

Tom, you’ve mistakenly drawn the hands of Pres. TasteeFreez way too big and the lips too small! Let’s get with it!

Republican racism, theft and lying is a plague on the USA.

With the Republican members of the Senate openly, blatantly, and contemptibly conspiring with the Outhouse fixers, I’m surprised they haven’t visited Mikey Cohen in prison. I’m even more surprised that they haven’t taken cakes with files baked in them to Mikey Cohen in prison!

Caring for the Nation.

I can hear the right now, “Ve vere only following orders.”

I still like the rumor(?) that after being told that “corona” means “crown”, he wants the virus all to himself.

The Founders Would Look Askance – {4 beats/line}

The Founding Fathers would look askance

at the RepCong’s pusillanimous stance.

They bow-and-scrape in their Trump-praising trance,

while from facts these “statesmen” withhold their glance.

… Coda:

Mendacity surges as these Trumpites advance; -

- wildly on fire are these congressmen’s pants.

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

I wonder how many people trump’s exposed to everyday? And how many people, they may meet in a day? Maybe we should quarantine trump until this corona stuff burns out, just for his own safety. There’s a federal facility in Ossining, New York or Levinworth, Kansas. Should be a nice safe place for him and don’t forget all his buddies, too.

Covering it Up – {4 beats/line}

The RepCong covers it up, like a cat

who wants his mess to seem to be clean, -

- as serenely he preens in his habitat,

and fondles campaigning’s dollars green.

… Coda:

He covers it up so a plutocrat

will grease his re-election’s machine.

. . . . . . . . . . .

The world is dying and were stuck with lying greedy selfish Republicans who don’t care at all.
