Tom Toles for November 08, 2016
Transcript:
He took the game to Mudville, then claimed that it was rigged, calling opponents crooked, and ugly, obese pigs. He said he'd put America First, only he could save the day. He would make America Great, sending some away. The sneer is there upon his lips, his teeth are clenched in hate, he pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate. And now the voter holds the ball, and now he lets it go. And now the swing commences, and now the world will know. And somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright. A band is playing somewhere and somewhere hearts are light. And somewhere people laughing and somewhere children shout, but there is no joy in Mudville; Mighty Crazy has struck out.

FRUMPs for TRUMP {… limerick and image …}
The ladies were dressed quite frumpily
as irately they scolded quite grumpily
that Hillary is Satanic:
“Like the Titanic,
we’ll sink unless governed quite Trumpily.”

As wmconnelly said, voting should be simple. Oregon voters vote totally by mail (or drop off ballot). Auto voter registration now thru DMV, couldn’t be easier, and probably saves many $$ of taxpayer monies.

Voting should be required, like in Australia. You get fined if you don’t vote.

E E Cummings:
.
Humanity i love you
.
Humanity i love you
because you would rather black the boots of
success than enquire whose soul dangles from his
watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both
.
parties and because you
unflinchingly applaud all
songs containing the words country home and
mother when sung at the old howard
.
Humanity i love you because
when you’re hard up you pawn your
intelligence to buy a drink and when
you’re flush pride keeps
.
you from the pawn shops and
because you are continually committing
nuisances but more
especially in your own house
.
Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of
life in your pants and forgetting
it’s there and sitting down
.
on it
and because you are
forever making poems in the lap
of death Humanity
.
i hate you

If any Trump supporters are out there counting red shirts, I wore one and voted for Hillary. Surprisingly, I saw no mass “redshirt” engagement as was suggested by Trumpsterites several weeks ago.Of course, I live in a majority red county in Ohio!

But when Ryan died at Second, and Rubio did the same,
A warlike fever settled on the zealots of the game.
They said, "If only Donald Trump could step up to the plate
We’d pull out all our dirty tricks, for one so skilled in hate!"

From Article in Washington Post by Marc Fisher: “Trump’s classmates, neighbors, teachers and friends from New York in the 1950s are united in their recollections of a kid who had a powerful aversion to defeat — and a tendency to blast others when he lost. In sixth grade in Queens, his neighbor Jeff Bier said he loaned young Donald his favorite bat during a baseball game at school, but when Trump failed to get a hit, he smashed Bier’s bat on the pavement, cracking the wood. Trump did not apologize, Bier said.” So what is Trump going to do if he strikes out?

Now, if Hillary wins, will she have our American flag behind her during speeches?! Or will it be a muslim prayer curtain, like our last muslim “president”?!

Pervert Trump didn’t rig the election well enough.
The Trumpland FBI show failed.

Trump was always wrong with his “locker room” trope.Now, if he had said “in the bar at 2 AM” I’d have believed him!

Donald at Debate
By Michael Egan, September 27, 2016Donald at Debate – a poem
The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the GOP that night.The polls were all against them, and minorities in flight.And when Christie got indicted, and Ailles was caught hands down,What once seemed just a nasty smirk became a sullen frown.
Donald Trump at batBut Christie pled “Not Guilty!” and Ailles got forty mil,And the party stalwarts dared to think: “We just might win this still!“If only Donald gets a shot at Hillary in debateHe’ll nail her on her emails and of course Benghazigate!”
Then from that saddened little group went up a joyous shoutIt twittered, facebooked, tumblrd, almost internetted out,For someone somewhere finally had set the longed-for dateAnd The Donald, mighty Donald, was advancing to debate.
There was ease in Donald’s manner as he stood behind the stand,Defiance in his bearing as he clenched his tiny hand.“Destruction comes,” his brow announced, “both terrible and swift!“I’ll grind her bones to make my bread!” the Donald sniffed. And sniffed.
And now the softball question comes whistling through the air:“You got a jobs plan, Donald? Anything you’d like to share?”But by the mighty intellect the ball unanswered sped—He’s never thought about jobs much. “Strike one,” the umpire said.
“Kill him! Kill the umpire!” shouted someone from the stand,The Donald smiled quite happily and waved his little hand.“I’ll pay your bills, don’t worry,” he encouragingly said.“There was a time when dudes like that were carried out here dead.”
And now the Nato question, like a missile from the blue,But still he had no answer, so the umpire said, “Strike two!”“Fraud!” yelled the maddened thousands, and the echo answered, “Fraud.”But one scornful look from Donald and the audience was awed.
The sneer is gone from Donald’s lip; his teeth are clenched with hate,“Believe me, folks,” he bigly says, “again I’ll make us
