Tom Toles for February 02, 2020

Hold your head up, encourage everyone you know to vote and head to the polls on 11/3. It’s vital we give the boot to the Orange Buffoon and flip the Senate. Even corporate Democrats are better than what we have now.

“Now is the winter of our malcontent…”

I dunno. Groundhog Day notwithstanding, by my count we’ve still got nearly a year to go. And that’s assuming that A) the thing actually loses the election, and B) that after losing the election he and all of his co-conspirators (the entire ( R ) party) don’t go completely nuts and burn the place down along with everything and everyone in it.

I picture a mass of lemmings rushing toward the cliff, and Trump is the head lemming, and followed by his Republican lackeys.

—) News Headline: “PETA Wants Punxsutawney Phil Replaced With Groundhog Robot.” Oh, great! Another American job lost due to automation! Will the robot replacement at least be Made In America? How would this affect members of the Groundhog Union? Would it be vulnerable to hackers who would then substitute bizarre weather predictions? Or be subject to conservative political pressure to deny Climate Change? The list of concerns goes on … (—

A Future of Gloom – {4 beats/line}

From current events, – we can assume

that America’s future will suffer a gloom

like that of a rose which no longer can bloom; -

- just spindly branches, wickedly thorned.

It’s just like what pundits and scholars forewarned: -

- a Trumpian era should never be borned,

since such an era would forever be mourned.

Sooner or Later – {2 beats/phrase}

Forget about it. // Let it ride.

Don’t fret about it. // We Democrats tried

to take Trump out, // – but the RepCong side

backed themselves out, // – and wouldn’t provide

the requisite votes, // – so The Donald’s team gloats.

But we optimists note // that we’ll get his goat

sooner or later. // {The dadburn’ dictator.}

They’ve Made America Grate – {2 limericks}

Impeachment’s not consummated; -

- his doings aren’t low-enough-rated,

so he continues to grate

as our head-of-state,

with Our needs and Trump’s conflated.

…

Hence our hope is truncated:

Our nation’s future’s check-mated

by their greed and their hate,

which devastate

the nation they’ve desecrated.

. . . . . . . . . .

If THIS doesn’t get the lazy oafs out to vote I don’t know what will…..pathetic…I’m sure he’ll protest and demand a recount, sue, investigate when he loses….they’ll have to literally carry and or escort him out of the WH so they can Fumigate every inch, every cranny, to rid of the infestation that sponged off WE the People…..especially his scumbag family, for years……

But burying a PARTICULAR head might help a great deal.

Are American presidents going to be bullies from now on, giving other lesser non-competing bullies the right to discriminate, lie, cheat, steal and use any process they want to obstruct/subjugate women and minorities? Is this the political weather that the groundhog foresees as a political climate change as the Millenials and Gen-Z face a mountain of debt incurred to protect unconstitutional, unAmerican hate and discrimination among those who fear a future where they will become a minority. More frightening that the resident is the steadfast optimism and growing of confidence in his supporters who feel they now have the right (backed by a dysfunctional Congress and SCOTUS) to bully and discriminate against those who cannot fight back.

“We’re doomed as doomed can be ya know.” Edward Grimley.

The State of the Union Speech will be historic, not for the content, but for the fact that this is the first one that will be delivered by a President still on trial. Tiny is the very first – a true leader.

Today is a palindrome 02 02 2020

One hopes there are more good and honest people in the USA than there are crooked lying sexist racist greedy lawless undemocratic against the Constitution Republicans.

NAILED IT !!!, thanks, Tom.

No. They will declare a State of Emergency and vote Trump President for life.

trump has a year to abolish the House of Representatives and get the death camps up and running. Steven Miller says; “That should be no problem”. If Russia comes thru on the 2020 election rig or if trump declares martial law, you’ll have at least another 4 years of trump. Unless he declares himself to be Kaiser, of course. Then you’re really in trouble.
