Tom Toles for February 06, 2020

Repulicons don’t give a rip for the Constitution.

We the People are not in a very good place …. and it’s not likely to change soon.

The SOTU speech along with some of the highlighting of African Americans tells us that Trump thinks his path to victory is keeping his base together plus he needs at least some minority votes. Apparently there aren’t quite enough white people willing to overlook his corruption, incompetence and racism to get him re-elected.

Mitt Romney…who’d’a thunk it?

He delivered a House divided/ by the civilized world derided/ anti-vax ,anti-science/ and prone to compliance/ with the worst of the options provided.

The West Coast should secede from the crappy kakistocracy that will soon become a copy of Hitler’s dream an Oberman Universe of where only white purebred Aryans may live and procreate… All others will be Serfs in concentration camps used as free labor.

If you think that’s a little negative… Take a look around. Everywhere you turn there are cops killing black men… There are white folk calling cops on innocent people just because they are non-white… There is a government locking up children that have been ripped from their parents arms…

We used to be a country that was trying to become a better place for all to live, a better place for all to have a chance at the American dream… It seems that the American dream has now become my worst nightmare. My nightmare of " it can’t happen here but it has happened here".

VOTE BLUE 2020

The divider in chief walked. Such a broken mess he and his accomplices have left.

About all he didn’t deliver in his speech was “nanny nanny boo boo” to his many detractors.

State of the Union: – {3 beats/line}

We’ll bow and scrape, – and continue

with The Donald’s disgusting menu

of road-kill’s putrid offal

by dint of policies awful.

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

Sorry if some of my stuff was sent previously {a young nighbor-lad has been “helping” me, – and sometimes hs doesn’t tell me what-all he’s been doing}.

{Off-topic:}

Trump’s Triumph – {2 beats/phrase}

We wish it not real, // – just a melodrama, …

… a fictitious ordeal // with no actual trauma.

But it’s real indeed, // and our hopes recede.

… Coda:

The Donald’s appeal // is bizarrely surreal:

Folks fall for his spiel // despite the raw deal.

“TRIUMPH OF THE SWILL”

In a land torn asunder the chief instigator spoke

Claiming that all things are well under his creed

Violence, robberies, rapes we choke

The good things drowned in blood and greed

The best thing for him is bad for all in need

With the gathering darkness of all that fascism holds

Gulags and death camps slavery for life he bodes

The Grand Experiment tainted from the beginning

Is in dire need of cleaning

The infection of Plutocracy, avarice, slavery and war

Religious infamy, crosses, gibbets and tar

White power they claim superior to all

And the rest of us are by class inferior

How it will end is still to be written

What of those of us not smitten

Will the orange claw grab us?

If Mitt is so noble, why has he not left the Party? Others have found their consciences…independents who can carry an election without the kowtowing to the neo-Nazi crap. Just a thought.

{Off-topic:}

The Climate under Trump – {limerick}

The facts the president bends

when Natural Law he rescinds

{as when he proclaims

that the world ain’t in flames}.

Under Trump, disaster portends.

… Coda: – {4 beats/line}

“Carbon extractors are the economy’s friends,”

he tweets when ‘gainst Facts he so brashly contends.

For this, Trump collects those immense dividends

for doing whatever Plutocracy commends.

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

Everything he touches comes away from the experience either broken or smelly. Or both. I’m hoping our nation comes away smelly, but am only able to be hopeful because it’s also true that he does nothing very well, and is obviously attempting to divide us into warring camps… which I hope he will do with his usual flair and diligence.

Remember

            VOTE THE BASTARDS OUT !!

{Off-topic:}

Dissing Trump’s Loyalists – {3 beats/line}

Do we say of a Trumpite “loyalist”

that she/he’s at bottom a “royalist”?, -

- or a fan of some type of “ism”

{such as “race-“ or “despo-“ tlsm}?

… Coda: – {4 beats/line}

Self-interests and Trump’s are in yuuge disjunction,

so maybe fans’ “brains have lost their function”?

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

He divided our Democracy and our Republic and the delivery was a stillbirth. A pox on him and HIS house.

Jesus did not like the behavior of most Pharisees. Maybe there are a lot of Pharisees calling themselves Christian these days, but there are many Christians that would vote Trump guilty!
