Tom Toles for August 14, 2020

It’s apparently extremely hard to draw a cartoon with those two in it AND have it make a good cartoon point AND depict them with their anal sphincters tight around their necks. So I guess we have to deal with at least some unreality on cartoons with these subjects. Still, they are in fact pictured as anything but normal, so the depiction is good enough.

It’s a misprint. It’s supposed to say “lamedon”.

I thought the toothless GOP grew some tusks, but it’s the shirt and tie.

The Rs Discuss Strategy – {4 beats/line}

The Rs have discussions to develop a scheme

by which they might fend off the Democrats’ team:

“Since Dems seem ‘normal’, WE’ll try ‘bizarre’.” …

“But this hasn’t worked well for Donald so far.” …

“But ’normal’ ain’t part of our repertoire.” …

“We’ll have to distort the election, by gar.” …

“That’s by far the easiest way

to keep on holding the Dems at bay.”

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

Shouldn’t that be 7VW’dON ?

Melania said it translates to “LAMEBRAIN” in her language. In others it’s LIMBAUGH.

Oan and Trump tried to say that Biden was connected to Antifa website. Turns out it was created by Russian organization in 2013 and recently reactivated in Panama!!

Looks like the Orange Genius is going to de-fund the Post Office.

Since he CAN’T READ writing when it’s right side up, he SURE AS HELL can’t read it upside down…. besides…how could he balance on the point on the top of his pinhead???

The Republicans are trying to overturn our constitutional democratic republic because there is a possibility that it could become a constitution democratic-socialist republic and they’d not be able to use fear/ignorance/conspiracy-theories/hate to create division with the wealthy at the top of society and the minorities/immigrants/LGBTQ/poor/sick/elderly being dispised. The younger generations do not fear socialism, so they must act now to try to make it look bad, but they are handicapped as there is no way to do that logically, rationally, or ethically.

Now the racist is pulling the birther crap on Harris.

Our Hopes for Kamala – {limerick}

We hope she replaces Mike Pence

and reverses his precedents

as doormat and toadie

like a rock-star’s roadie, -

- and instead shows some common sense.

”The World Turned Trump-side Down”

If a Leader takes people toward disease and pending death,

And mocks wearing masks to keep from infected breath,

And lies about the pandemic to help him get elected

Although his older voters are the ones likely to be infected;

.

If doctors are stopped from scientific truth to tell,

Kept from advising how to stay safe and well,

And statistics are distorted, and False ‘gainst True in collision,

And virus cases claimed as less even though having risen;

.

If poison is prescribed, claimed to make you well,

And people goofy quack advice allowed to tell,

And children go to school, so might a virus spread,

Thus adding to the rising number tally of the sick and dead;

.

If DOJ is DAJ, not “Of” Justice, but “Against,”

And our Southern border soon likely to be fenced,

If bad forces unleashed and peaceful demonstrators maimed,

And people fill high offices though unqualified and untrained;

.

And past ethics violations seem to help a resume,

And to bully women and minorities is with them okay,

And religion is a weapon used against those some hate —

Then maybe to save this chaotic world it is too late.

.

For, despots get love letters and praise, and in favor land,

While allies of long standing are slapped with back of hand.

Our long-time friends likely to get their buttocks kicked,

As Putin and others get their nether regions licked.

.

So long as MAGA Leader smirks and tweets ferociously,

And denies bad things are taking place, lies atrociously,

Then Hell is where we’ll go, not just in hand baskets,

But in numerous cremation urns and many, many caskets.

.

Upside-down and backward are things seen by Donald Hack.

We need return of decency and normalcy back.

For if things go on this way — a half-likely If —

The country will tumble off Existential Cliff.

Since HIS is “lamronba”, he really should be able to figure it out…

I was under the impression that copy had to have his name in it in order to grab his attention…

It’s like “Enron” only it’s for real.

Actually it’s code for “you will soon be in jail”

Mr. Trump is a shining example of “I don’t understand any of it. I never did.” (Thanks to Mart Crowley’s “The Boys in the Band” 1968.)

The kind of slogan that isn’t being used by a norom tsicar gniyl.

The disgusting anti democracy alt right world is a place full of disease, death, unemployment, confusion and lawlessness.

Obama thrashes Trump’s attempts to ‘starve’ and ‘kneecap’ the Post Office ahead of 2020 vote

“What we’ve seen in a way that is unique to modern political history is a President who is explicit in trying to discourage people from voting,” he said. “What we’ve never seen before is a President say, ‘I’m going to try to actively kneecap the postal service to encourage voting and I will be explicit about the reason I’m doing it.’”

“You now have the President throwing in this additional monkey wrench trying to starve the postal service,” he said. “My question is what are Republicans doing where you are so scared of people voting that you are now willing to undermine what is part of the basic infrastructure of American life?”
