Tom Toles for January 14, 2019

The emergency is in the White House.

Trump says he might use his emergency powers, will “wait and see.”

Hello? If you can “wait and see” … then, by definition IT IS NOT AN EMERGENCY.

Asked how long it would take to build his fantasy, make-believe wall (I mean fence, I mean steel slats [that were easily sawed through], I mean beaded curtain)? Trump said he thinks it could be built in TWO YEARS. Hello, that is not an emergency

Illegal crossings at the southern border have declined steadily every year for the last ten years (thanks, Obama!). It is not an emergency.

Total number of arrests for those of suspected possible terrorist connections (numbers are one-year figures for 2018 from TRUMP’s Dept of Homeland Security):

Airports: 2,170

Northern border with Canada: 91

Southern border with Mexico: 6

If you want to SHUT DOWN TSA and customs (the real terror threat) to fund a border wall on the southern border but not the northern border, you have admitted that the only “emergency” you see is BROWN SKIN.

Russian bombers in Venezuela, Trump thinks an immigrant with two kids is an emergency.

Direct hit on the right target.

spontaneous combustion => the bursting into flame of a mass of material (Trump) as a result of chemical reactions within the substance, without the addition of heat from an external source (Robert Mueller)

That just covers the foam already around his rabid racist mouth.

We’re going to need more than that. Get the jaws of truth!

Amazingly, he’s pointing it in the correct direction!

AGAIN, I want a Republican to PROVE TO ME why the border is NOW a “National Emergency”, when it wasn’t in the entire two years BEFORE the Democrats took back the House. And you must use ACTUAL PROOF, not FAUX Noise or Alex Jones Rants to make your case. I’ll wait…

And, MORE PROOF that it’s NOT about “The Wall”, but it’s ALL about fatso’s EGO:

An example found on Reddit shows that history does repeat … https://tinyurl.com/y9pzr9ds

He’s not smart enough to do that consciously.

And now, folks, Trump’s story is ended

I think it is time he should quit

If any of you feel offended

Stick your head in a barrel of…

Shaving cream, be nice and clean

Shave everyday and you’ll always look keen

Shouldn’t Trump be the first federal employee to be furloughed. He is the least essential one.

The Battle Hymn of the Trump

Mine eyes have seen the pity of our so-called prexy, Trump

His mind an empty wasteland and his mouth a sewage pump

But even now his minions always jump when he says “Jump!”

The way he carries on!

Glory, glory, you can’t reach him

Glory, glory, you can’t teach him

Best to out-and-out impeach him

The way he carries on!

Well he was pointing it at the hazard.

Great visual, Tom ♥
