Tom Toles for May 05, 2020

Five-thirty-eight polls are showing Biden with a close win. It’s early days yet, so it could very well change in either direction.

Well done right-wing propagandists; you and the ☠resident have actually managed to completely divide a nation during a life-threatening pandemic at a time when they should be unified and working together to keep it under control. Don’t let the needless deaths bother you … just be careful that not too many of your loyal believers start dying from this harmless “flu” and start doubting your disinformation.

Yes, his supporters love the blame game…. because they’re really good people…. and 100,000 or 12,000,000 who cares, that’s math… as long as it’s not them

They’re blaming China for lying and covering up.

Those are bad things, right?

OK, so let the tens, yea hundreds, of thousands of human sacrifices to the true god of the Republicans, Mammon, and Mammon’s earthly prophet Tяцmp☠, continue and increase…

“Life is a tragedy to those who feel and a comedy to those who think.” – Moliere

Theater of the absurd…

We can probably find those masks on Amazon.com® because our money… I mean, our safety is Jeff Bezos main priority!

He’d better hope he gets the post office out of action…

The Trump Administration might already be planning another national holiday, Economic Martyr Day, in commemoration of those brave citizens who sacrificed their lives during the 2020 Pandemic in order to maintain Economic Prosperity. (—

Nah, losers don’t count and aren’t worth commemorating.

But there WILL be an Economic Saviours day ( with parades and military fly byes) to honour those who sent those workers to their deaths. With the workers (who don’t get a day off) having their pay docked to cover the cost of the festivities.

—) There are unconfirmed reports that a third theater mask will be added to the traditional two. It represents neither strictly comedic nor tragic elements, and would aptly represent players in The Trump Show cycle. It’s the mask of The Blank-Faced Liar (Pseftis Metrios), the first male Muse.

The need for this mask seems apparent, since lies occur with great regularity within the ongoing Greek Play that is the Trump White House. A Mount Parnassus spokesperson declined comment when questioned by reporters. She did affirm, however, that the Chorus will continue to play a large role in future performances, containing MAGA, Legislative, and Media characters as required by plot.

She would not comment whether Hubris and Nemesis will appear in future plays, suggesting that such questions be referred to Mount Olympus representatives. “It would of course be hubris for me to comment in that regard,” she stated. (—

The Demented clown administration….always a barrel of evil Doings and sneakiness!

Of course, it WAS “Only 15 people, and it will Miraculously vanish in warm weather due to our perfect efforts. We have the bestiest efforts EVER, many people have said so! It’s a YUGE effort, The BIGLIEST EFFORT ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!! And my numbers are BETTER then The Bachelor, and THAT’S what’s REALLY important!”

That 100,000 deaths will be a daily total if the Orange Genius opens the country too soon.

Lord have mercy, what kind of a country is this, where such a creature could possibly be elected TWICE? The GOP is the party of death. It’s flagrantly obvious that Biden could not possibly be as bad as the incumbent, yet here we are, sweating it out again! I sweated Bush v.Gore and lost, Bush v. Kerry and lost, Obama v.McCain/Palin (Palin! Good god!),and won by a whisker, and in 2016 the world collapsed…and the “Supreme” Court will drag us down for 30 more years even if Trump loses….

100,000 projected deaths is a long way from “nearly zero cases. . .in just a few days”, isn’t it?

Oh, IDK 100000 has lots of zeros and he will be aiming for one or two more

The disgraceful Trump admin totally contaminated the USA.

90% of the covid deaths are owned by ignorant negligent Republicans.

Inside the Lincoln Memorial is scared ground. NPS regulations prohibit media events inside. Unless, of course, the NPS director is a corrupt POS and issues a waiver for Trump. :-(

Roger Stone, a longtime friend and former top adviser to Donald Trump, allegedly ran a sprawling network of fake Facebook accounts starting in 2016, according to newly unsealed FBI search warrants.

The search warrants, published in response to a joint petition from five news outlets, also report that Stone communicated with WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange as early as 2017.

A source identified as Stone’s “right-hand man” told the FBI that Stone used the fake Facebook accounts to circulate WikiLeaks stories and, later, to defend himself against charges of Russian collusion.

Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison for lying to Congress and witness intimidation, but was never charged with aiding Russia in its attempt to influence the 2016 election.
