Tom Toles for February 20, 2020

Eventually he’s going to come up against something that his two coping mechanisms don’t work on. I had hoped that would be the impeachment process. But no. Anyway, when he does  hit that barrier, it’s going to crush him. Because he’s never been stopped before. Ever.

I’m not looking forward to what he does to us if he’s still in office while he collapses. But I would  kinda like to see him melting down, cause he so  deserves it.

You do realize you backed into me? asked the cop.

All I know is when he finally has to pay the piper, the interest is going to be a BITCH!

Actually, he’d be stopping a golf cart.

I’d like to see tiny stop a fist with his face.

Why? What did that fist do to you to deserve THAT face?

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO IS THE NOMINEE IN 2020!! Our republic depends on it to survive!

Abusive Tirades – {limerick}

We’re puzzled that Donald survives

{and it looks like he even thrives!!}, -

- despite that he’s nuts

and completely a putz.

Yet his fan-club gives him high fives!!

… Coda: – {4 beats/line, then 3}

Trumpites delight in his abusive tirades

as all-who-aren’t-with-him The Donald upbraids.

His scared paranoia pervades,

so he throws those verbal grenades.

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

{Off-topic:}

A Loser Might Win – {4 beats/line, then 3}

It’s Bernie against the Democrats’ Center,

and Both sides get frayed in this fray.

As to WHICH of the sides will the White House enter,

ain’t Nobody yet can say.

… Coda #1:

Horror of Horrors: Trump-the-Tormenter

might somehow have HIS way!!

… Coda #2: – {4 beats/line}

A disheartening prospect: – a Loser might win,

and troubles continue and New ones begin

and it gets even Worse than ever it’s been, -

and our nation succumbs to her conflicts within.

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

It’s a rant to come.

“Coddled Stable Genie Bottled”

The brash young godling, due to past coddling,

Is rude to mere men again and again.

Beyond good and bad, he acts like a cad.

This is HIS toy world — brown, blue and white-swirled

To rule and enjoy — a petulant boy.

Women and girls, he uses like churls;

The people he hired, get kicked as they’re fired.

.

Just as a caprice, he’s rude to police,

But to his great shock, he’s jailed under lock

And roughed up a bit. His pride takes a hit!

As justice is served, the godling’s unnerved.

A lesson is learned, a moral discerned:

One might have great powers galore,

But this world’s laws might have still more!

Marginal Man is SO accurate… sad to say.

What concerns me very much is that as the resident defies the rule of law and becomes more malevolent, his approval rating increases.

If they want a stupendous reality show, how about hidden camera in the White House? See Trump melt down; see Melania avoiding him; see terrified staffers tip-toeing around his fragile ego…

The inmates are running the asylum….and RUINING AMERICA!

Hitler had a plan. Hitler chose “capable” people to execute the plan. Hitler came close to pulling it off. And now, a witless, bargain-basement oaf may just pull it off even without any of these factors. I’m really fearful for this “domestic tranquility” thing of ours.

Bloomberg idn’t Blooming – {3 beats/line, then 4}

Bloomberg hasn’t bloomed

as much as he had assumed,

and against him we Lefties have fumed

that his candidacy oughta be doomed.

…

In MANY ways this Bloomberg offends:

F’rinstance just lookit the money he spends

to buy for himself some political friends.

And too he fails to make amends

for his Mayorship’s backfiring policies’ trends.

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

It’s clear that he’s out of control/ he’s a tweeting, transgressive troll/ but the voters are “dim”/and the odds favor him/…and the nation is losing its soul..

When insane lunatics (the WORST kind of lunatics!) have the backing of enablers………

Well, he IS the top cop in the nation! And a stable genius with great and unmatched wisdom, so he can handle that job.

“Your Honor, the criminal backed into my knife. NINE TIMES! And he isn’t some kind of “corpse” or anything. I mean, slap him around awhile, and he’ll perk RIGHT up!"

“Your Honor, I put on my gold diapers ONE diaper at a time, and I put my platinum pacifier in my mouth ONE platinum pacifier at a time! Yet you have the sheer raw audacity to have this witch hunt and this HOAX that I was born rich!”

Vladdy Putie:

I keep a close watch on this pet of mine

I love to see him in trouble all the time

But the end is nigh—fresh sea or brine

Cattle call: the end of kine!

Trump Ravages Savagely – {3 beats/line}

His mouth is viciously savage

to whomever stands in his way,

and his policies viciously ravage

our nation, to liberals’ dismay.

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

His nose should grow. Like in those Pinocchio Geico commercials.

The crazy vicious president of the Republicans is losing what little is left of his totally corrupt mind. Everyone else is wrong except for racist liar thief rapist Trump, say the Republican imbeciles who put Dictator Donald above the Constitution.

And now Russia is openly interfering in our election at the invitation of Trump and Moscow Mitch who refused to do anything about election security because antidemocratic Republicans cheat as much as they possibly can.

Trump’s takeover of the Justice Department is the beginning of his oligarchy.
