Hey All,
This one addresses such an obvious topic, it feels like I should have already written it — the likelihood that Trump actually concedes, should he lose in 2020. (And don’t assume that it’s a given that he will lose.)
Things got weird this week (which is, in itself, an evergreen statement), with Trump raging about the possibility of impeachment and insisting once again that he is a Very Stable Genius, and Democrats continuing to dither on impeachment — I don’t know if this is twelve dimensional chess or simply spinelessness, but I’m hoping it’s the former. If a tree commits impeachable offenses in the woods and no one is willing to open an impeachment inquiry — ah, you know what I mean....
Of course, I spend most of my time alone in my apartment, unshaven and mumbling to myself as I try to write, but occasionally I manage to venture outside and do something interesting.
Until next week …
Dan/Tom
It's obvious that our 'toonist (like most of us) suffers from impeachment-dithering-fatigue. This blogger has several T-shirts in various colors, in his closet that have block letters on the chest: ITMFA and that is a slogan first enunciated by the polemicist Dan Savage against POTUS 43 when that loser took this nation to war over WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction) in Iraq. That worthless scumbag should have been sent out of the White House in disgrace. Unfortunately, after the 2016 election, the slogan holds true for the Oedipal scumbag who leaves trails of slime everywhere he goes. Impeach The Oedipal Scumbag (Mother F*cker) Already! Truer words were never uttered aloud. Impeach the HA (Horse's A$$) and let the Dumbo Senators deal with every sleazy act the HA has committed since despoiling the Oval Office in January 2017. Impeachment-dithering-fatigue will be replaced by righteous anger at having the worst of the worst in the Oval Office for even another minute. If this is a (fair & balanced) patriotic call to ITMFA, so be it.
