Tom Toles for May 23, 2017

He’s going to suck it dry, and put all the cash in one of his “blind”(20-20 vision) trusts.

Government of the People, by the Wealthy, and for the Privileged.

People kept saying that Comrade Jefferson Davis Tяump would pivot once elected. Well, he pivoted alright. From a good jobs & good health care common man populist posterior portal who hated Moslems to a hard-right screw the little guy & let-‘em-die oligarchic RichThugliKlan posterior portal who dances (sorta) with Muslims. Of course, he’s always loved Putin and the Russians. Only those who are stone blind and resolutely stupid didn’t see through him a year or more ago.

AT FAULT: OUR ELECTION SYSTEM – {a rhyme}

re Rightists’ wrongs:

Why can’t we resist ‘em? -

- The blame belongs

to the Election system

which distorts the people’s will

by enabling the Rightists to fill

the corridors of power

with pols who devour

the good of our nation’s {people} peeps

so’s to serve the greedy creeps.

======

It’s time we became a democracy instead of a republic.

PETITION – {a limerick and a coda}

The petition-signer objects

that Trump’s got yuuge defects.

So he signs a petition

with this prescription:

“Impeachment’s a timely RX.”

… Coda:

The petition sez

that "The Donald as prez

makes dangerously sick

America’s {body politic} body pol-i-tic.

Let’s dump this dude and do it quick.

{This petition we’ll re-commence

when the office goes to Mike Pence.}”

=========

G.O.P.=Greed Over People!

Republicons totally lack compassion for people making less than a million a year.

Most Republicans claim to be Christians. Therefore, they will follow in Christ’s footsteps and “Feed the poor” and “Heal the sick”. Christ is their savior and his teachings of compassion drive Republican decision making.

Some SF stories are about computers choosing political candidates, but I also remember one where the computer chose the VOTERS. Can’t remember who wrote it, though.

Trump becoming a Christian would be the biggest change in a person since it happened to a dude named Saul!

He’s conned the US, now he’s trying to con the rest of the world.

How anyone can believe one word he says or praise his “accomplishments” just boggles my mind. [Puke.]

There are all kinds of Christians including the Inquisitional-witch finder types too.

The only people who didn’t know this was going to happen were the minority of voters who installed this incompetent in office. Everyone knew he was going to cut off healthcare to the poor to help the rich. The forgotten rust belt voters used to complain about having healthcare while the rich have so little.

TRUMP’S BUDGET – {1.40 limericks}

How ugly!! How harshly we judge it:

We’ll forEver be holding a grudge, – it

‘way too austerely

cuts programs severely

to enrich the Wealthy

while America’s unhealthy.

{Above I refer to Trump’s budget.}

Thanks Tom for putting it in print. This guy is like hitting the mother lode for you, isn’t he? New material EVERY day. Trump is an ignorant Jack Ass.

And NOW the Lying Sack of Dung wants to cut Social Security Disability benefits AFTER “promising” not to touch Social Security during his Liefest…er…“Campaign”!!

Teddy Rosevelt was the first president to propose health care for all. Now that’s a Square Deal! Bully!

^ Agreed. They keep spending is on sick people.
