Tom Toles for July 22, 2018

The Trumpaphant super KKKleener may have a huge capacity, but unfortunately cannot clean up the mess fast enough to kkkeep up with the volume produced and things just keep getting messier.

And the TrumpubliCON CONgress, in their utter abdication of oversight, prove themselves to lack any principles whatsoever except one: you help us REDISTRIBUTE the wealth created by the working people who actually produce it, and we will look the other way no matter whatever other violations of the (former) core beliefs that “CONservative” phonies only gave lip service to (such as standing up to Russia, opposing deficits, free trade and small government), and we will even overlook whatever crimes you may commit, including locking babies in cages and up to and even including TREASON.

Just give us the money and you can have anything your little heart (or other little body part) desires.

I’d say the vacuum will just keep on taking it with a smile because its belief is that it can turn back History to those golden days of serfdom and slavery, plus obscene profit for them.

Women back at home, Gays into that closet, Black folks to your OWN neighborhoods, Protestant majority, conformity as the main virtue, etc. We couldn’t do it without the Trumpster and the GOP. Just give them a Bible and a flag to hide behind.

Trump thinks it’s time for another round of carpetbaggers.

Only their lack of self-respect and craving to remain in office allows the GOP to defend the criminal, unconstitutional, unAmerican activities again and again … but will the voters defend him?

Bart Simpson said it best while at the Opera: “I didn’t think it was possible, but this both sucks AND blows…”

Tom should have said “Until the implosion”. Trump and the current version of the GOP will disappear.

Just vote this fall

And you’ll hear a tale

A tale of a fateful trip

That started with a tycoon jerk

Aboard this elephant’s ship

•

The mate was a mighty praying man

The skipper fat and dumb

The pachyderms set sail that day

For a 4-year tour, a 4-year tour

•

The evidence started piling up

His tiny hands were tossed

If not for the courage of Mueller’s crew

America would be lost, America would be lost

•

The ship ran aground on the shore of this

Unwanted elephant pile

With Turtle-maaan

The Tяumper too

Some billionaires, and our strife

A porno star

Old Putin and the Ku Klux Klan

Here on history’s pile

So this is the tale of their corrupt ways

They’re screwed for a long long time

They’ll have to make the worst of things

It’s a downhill time

•

The first mate and his skipper too

Will do their very worst

To make all others uncomfortable

In their stinky island nest

•

No votes, no bribes, no яussian czars

Not a single Benghazi

Like tail-gunner Joe man

They’re as shunned as can be

•

So join us here each November my friends

You’ll sure to get a smile

From treason’s stranded castaways

Here on history’s pile!

Are you Putin me on? I thought nothing sucked up dirt like a J. Edgar Hoover.

I can’t wait until Putin comes to the White House, the last Trump summit went so well…

@george We moderate Independents are in total agreement that Mueller’s investigation with the 32 (so far) indictments are a very needed and necessary thing to stop the crooked con man in the Oval office who has sided with Russia against the United States. What side are you on, Trump/Russia or The United States of America?

Trump said it himself: neither his supporters nor the GOP gives a damn what Trump does or says, as long as he appoints the “right” Supreme Court judge.

I’m pretty sure that george harmon is a bot, so I don’t think we ought to feed it, anymore than we feed live trolls (who are worse in many ways!) I keep expecting for Trump’s **** to hit the fan one of these days. I mean, how the hell could it NOT???!!!!!

At Lakehurst…

Oh, here’s a little from conservative icon George Will: Americans elected a president who — this is a safe surmise — knew that he had more to fear from making his tax returns public than from keeping them secret. The most innocent inference is that for decades he has depended on an American weakness, susceptibility to the tacky charisma of wealth, which would evaporate when his tax returns revealed that he has always lied about his wealth, too. A more ominous explanation might be that his redundantly demonstrated incompetence as a businessman tumbled him into unsavory financial dependencies on Russians. A still more sinister explanation might be that the Russians have something else, something worse, to keep him compliant.

The explanation is in doubt; what needs to be explained — his compliance — is not. Granted, Trump has a weak man’s banal fascination with strong men whose disdain for him is evidently unimaginable to him. And, yes, he only perfunctorily pretends to have priorities beyond personal aggrandizement. But just as astronomers inferred, from anomalies in the orbits of the planet Uranus, the existence of Neptune before actually seeing it, Mueller might infer, and then find, still-hidden sources of the behavior of this sad, embarrassing wreck of a man.

Good ’toon Mr Toles ♥

A moral vacuum.

“It has unlimited bag capacity.”

For bagging big game?

When you-know-who claimed he could shoot a person down in cold blood in the middle of 5th Avenue and his cultists would still support him, we all thot he was exaggerating. Turns out this was one of the few truths to ever emerge from his mouth.

Democracies (and semi-democracies) get the politicians they deserve. Stupid greedy people are easily preyed upon

Some of the toxic waste being generated by the TOTUS and his administration is pretty damn corrosive, and (like the Ghostbusters containment facility) catastrophic failure is immanent.

Here comes the blue tsunami!

With that much baggage, you’re gonna need a bigger trunk.
