Tom Toles for August 20, 2017

You suh win the entire internetz toobz fore-EVAH !!!

Yeah, this is pretty good

The Daily Special at Trump Tower…

The Republican diet.

A banquet o fall the bad the US has been. Would be nice to toss it all away.

THE ENTREE AIN’T DEAD – {a rhyme}

Many side-dishes, and it stinks from the head,

and it’s yuugely disgusting that the entrée ain’t dead.

From this foul cuisine, our innards have bled

and our gut will be rotting for the long years we dread.

========

Toles’ll treat Bannon ’ere long, I presume:

BANNON’S LOOSE CANNON – {limerick}

There once was a White House in tatters,

replete with disputes and clatters, -

- and tho’ Mister Bannon

retired his loose cannon,

the White House remained in shatters.

=========

BANNON STILL!! – {1.40 limericks}

There once was a “Bannon, Stephen”,

who’d work to destroy us even

after he’d left

the White House bereft

of his skills in delusional deceivin’.

Bannon would STILL

squawk fiercely and shrill.

========

A PRESIDENCY DISOWNED – {limerick}

There once was a Prez we disowned; -

- his bone-head was TOO-thickly boned.

His persona bizarre,

it exceeded by far

the limit which we’d’ve condoned.

=======

Should a racist or nationalist socialist (nazi) be allowed American citizenship?

Unfortunately, all of these recipes are passed down parents to child.

Donald sets a stinky banquet.

And a gallon of covfefe to wash it down.

There were a lot of parents who SHOCKED JUST SHOCKED to hear and see their child on TV marching with those Ruffians of Nazis and Ku Klux claners. They did not seem to realize that what the children grew up with was what they were seeing their children doing on television. Or was it really nurture over nature? Did those Marchers become radicalized outside the home?

The French, who gave us the Statue of Liberty in celebration of our ‘tolerance’ at the time (and recently attempted to teach Donnie how to act like an Adult on the world stage) and also gave the world the concept of sauces to hide the decomposing meat of dinner and perfume to hide the stink of unwashed bodies in the summer – I’ve always considered the French as somewhat arrogant, but they have more reason to be arrogant than most! we really should start studying them for ‘how to act’!

I wonder what Ben Carson makes of all this. Probably that racism is a state of mind.

Radicalization is ugly. I am not sure there is any philosophy that cannot escape the twisting that such radicalization can do.

What’s for dessert, Donald?

ECLIPSE by their MOONING US – {limerick and coda-with-image}

They lower their britches and moon us,

the Trumpsters and Alt-Right buffoonous, -

- and with their bared hips

our hopes they eclipse.

Our Light disappears. They {ruin} roon us.

… Coda:

Their mooning is craftily indirect,

but soon they’ll get us thoroughly wrecked:

The Republicans voted for this meal. The problem is, they expect us all to eat it and be happy.

Too many sides!

Is Tom on vacation?

I was looking forward to your comic on the Joe Arpaio pardon. :(

Okay, I think we’ve discussed this pretty thoroughly. Ready for the next one.

Wait ! I’ve got one more point I’d like to make : Don’t forget to eat your “diversionary tactics” to keep your bowel movements going.
