Tom Toles for February 13, 2020

“Revenge delayed is revenge denied.”

I totally get where he’s coming from. Which is a truly horrible place to find the acting president of the USA.

And with the health and safety agencies/regulations being eradicated the public will be having the same experience, it seems.

Bonespurs is just re-enacting a garage scene in Chicago for Valentine’s. He signs his with a poison Sharpie.

Vengeance is Mine [saith The Donald] – {limerick}

There once was a prez so unhinged

that he had to be promptly avenged

lest his blood-pressure rise

more’n doctors advise, -

- and less rabid he’d be when revenged.

… Addendum:

His foes he quickly would penalize: -

- would traumatize &/or terrorize

&/or pulverize &/or vaporize.

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

Feedback to the Troll – {limerick}

To the troll this feedback I type, -

- that concerning your sendings I gripe

that they’re chock-full of tripe

more’n Bounty™ can wipe,

like the sludge in a sewer pipe.

… Coda: – {4 beats/line}

Trumpish nonsense you fatuously hype,

tho’ the time for his exit has long since been ripe.

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

And remember, Stalin and Hitler loved THEIR purges, too! THEY liked to eliminate people that were “Not Sufficiently Loyal” to them, and Lil’ Dick Tater donnie is following them down the road to Totalitarianism, and only WE, the voters, can stop him, and the rest of the TRAITORS in the Republican Party! VOTE BLUE 2020, 2022, 2024, 2026, 2028, 2030, and BEYOND!

He that lives for revenge will die from revenge.

“Chef Trump’s ‘Hot’ Cuisine”

“Vengeance is mine,” so sayeth The Lord.

Our Lord Donald Trump uses, not a sword,

But slicing words to mutilate,

To flay the pride from a “reprobate.”

The firings that he hints his flunkies make

Are akin to burning at the stake.

.

Vengeance, revenge, retribution —

Do they appear in our Constitution?

In Trump’s Constitution they do,

Near the beginning, as Item Two:

“They hit me once, I hit back harder!”

Sharp things hang in his weapons larder.

.

Trump has re-translated “Quid quo pro”

As “you mess with me and out you go!”

Thus “things can happen” to an ingrate

Before Trump’s lust for revenge does sate.

Some dishes are best served cold, some not.

For Head Chef Trump — it’s piping hot!

Question: is there a “taster” in the WH? Too bad one of the chefs doesn’t go rogue….KARMA

I’m glad that he learned his lesson from being found not guilty on the Articles of Impeachment…/s. What total tools the Rethuglicons are.

His firing of Vindman’s twin speaks volumes. He’s lower than lowlife.

Votest Thou Blue – {4 beats/line}

When Blue y’all vote, // then y’all will note

that the RepCong’s defeated {“that’s all she wrote”},

and that therefore y’all’s nation ag’in is afloat.

{‘cause th’ Red States’ candidates’re whupped and [smitten] smote}.

…

To our country the Democrats’ contribution

will consist in their bringing the restitution

of the ways of our government’s Constitution

{with Repugnantans chastened thru retribution}.

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

Any republican senators having remorse yet.. on the vote they took mere weeks ago? Not yet.. will it take a couple more weeks??

As Sen. Collins said, the resident has learned his lesson. And indeed he has. He’s learned that he really CAN shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue, and all the Republican senators will stand around applauding and cheering.

Orange Race – {1.40 limericks}

Altho’ white is The Donald’s base,

they thrill to his orange hair and face, -

- tho’ he dudn’t embrace // the need in their case

for less austerity // and more prosperity, -

- and of ethics he ain’t got a trace.

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

“People who say ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold’ do not understand fine cuisine. Revenge is more like a pizza… best served piping hot and gooey, within 45 minutes or your money back!” — Swan

Feeding them leftover Trump Steaks from 2007…

Trump left in the fall, that’s his picture on the wall

He always had that little drop of poison

A rat always knows when he’s in with weasels.

(Tom Waits, sort of)

Interesting – looks like they all got forked…

It’s going to be a long, trying 9 months.

From here on out justice is what Glorious Leader says it is. Thank God we have the Republicans in the Senate to protect us . . . what? Oh, they are cashing out and heading for the door, too? At least we can count on climate change to make all of this moot. Strange days indeed.

Stalin would be so proud of his boy!

Mad, Adolf H. is his source material.

Where are his two scoops of ice cream?

Jesus said, “Forgive and love your enemies.” At the prayer breakfast, Trump said “I disagree with that.”

A clear choice, Republicans; whom shall you follow?

Brilliant!!!!!

Looney’s his Tune – {limerick}

They applaud an orange baboon

who’s bizarrely a clownish buffoon

{quite looney’s his tune}.

May very soon

they pay for supporting this goon.

… Coda: – {3 beats/line}

Let’s de-select the RepCong

for being so bigly wrong.

They’ve hung around too long,

and Dems sing a better song.

. . . . . . . . . . .

And once you vote all the red rascals out, they’ll try to paint themselves Blue so they can rule that Party too.

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism.” ― George Washington

… and where is Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s girlfriend?

Where are the Mickey D’s wrappers?

Doesn’t McDonald’s sell fresh baked Revenge any more?
