Tom Toles for January 09, 2019

State of emergency? Invoke emergency powers?

Shades of Adolph Hitler. Never won the popular vote.

FIBricated fake “emergency” on which to blame imaginary terrorists.

Sniff. Sniff. I think I smell smoke coming out of the Reichstag.

(Either that or Trump is on cocaine or Adderall — yeah he says he doesn’t drink alcohol [Trump saying something doesn’t mean much] but never says anything about cocaine. Or meth. Or Adderall for ADHD that his handlers encourage to keep him focused for debates or Oval Office speeches. Sniff. Sniff.)

Red rain is coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over Tяump

He’s standing up at the water’s edge in his dream

Tяump cannot make a single sound as he screams

It can’t be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch

Hey, Putin’s touch

This place is so quiet, sensing that storm

Red rain is coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over Tяump

Well he’s been buried in a sheltered place in this town

They tell you that this rain can sting and look down

There is no blood around, see no sign of pain

Hey, no pain

Seeing no red at all, see no rain

Red rain is coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over him

Red rain

Oh! Oh!

Putting the pressure on much harder now

To return again and again

Red rain

Just let the red rain splash you

Let the rain fall on your skin

Red rain

You came to Tяump, defenses down

With the trust of a child

Oh!

Red rain coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over Tяump

And he can’t rule any more

No more denial

It’s so hard to lay down in all of this

Red rain coming down

`Red rain is pouring down

`Red rain is coming down all over Tяump

We see it

Red rain coming down

Red rain is pouring down

Red rain is coming down all over Tяump

He’s bathing in

Red rain coming down

Red rain is coming down

Red rain is coming down all over Tяump

He’s begging you

Red rain coming down

`Red rain coming down

Over him in a red, red sea

Over him

Over him

Red rain

Peter Gabriel

State of confusion and emergency are both in the Oval Office. Caused by the guy with the big orfice.

“Maybe!?!?!”

Try that line two years ago.

The real state of emergency may be the current state of the US constitution.

The Rump has demonstrated his incompetence over and over again. Now because of his malignant narcissism he his place the US in jeopardy. It’s time for Article 25!

It may be time to declare a state of idiocy.

Of course, it’s an emergency! After two years of GOP majority control, he couldn’t convince enough members of Congress from his own party to fund his egotistical wall, so the obvious solution is to eliminate Congress from the process!

Just for the record, I was never ‘entertained’…

Selfish, racist, thieving Republicans are destroying this country.

In part crooked liar Trump shut down the govt to slow down the Mueller probes and the Dems investigations. It would be in Trump’s interest for the shutdown to drag out as long as possible. He needs to be removed from office, the president is supposed to be the law enforcer, not the biggest crook in the country.

The cartoon is inaccurate. The out of control line was crossed a while ago.

Now that the talk shows are back from their vacations and back to ridiculing the thoroughly ridiculous Trump, perhaps the tide will turn. I didn’t watch Trump’s bs blather, nor the Democratic response (I have a life, you see), but if I were to respond to Trump’s imbecilities, I would simply replay the footage of Trump saying that he would take all the blame for the shutdown, and wouldn’t blame Schumer or the Democrats—over and over and over and over and over…….(I would also introduce some facts into my case, because Trump sure as hell would never introduce any facts.)

Round and round and round we spin,

To weave a wall to hem us in,

It won’t be long, it won’t be long

How slow and slow and slow it goes,

To mend the tear that always shows.

It won’t be long, it won’t be long.
