Flim Flam Boss

I'm sure many of you have read the various pieces in the media, chronicling the long litany of lies spewed by the Orange Menace. It's almost the converse of the old adage - you tend to loose the trees through the forest, the forest being, of course, the main storyline: that Donald Trump has to be the worst, least qualified President in the history of the United States. By all accounts, he is on track to do the most harm to the U.S. and the rest of the world with his hate-filled, white supremacist-driven agenda of returning this country back to the nightmare days of Jim Crow...while simultaneously trashing this country's standing to play any kind of role on the global stage.

Now, THAT takes real talent. Believe me, believe me.

Not sure that this toon is necessarily topical but it's just as pertinent now as it was the first time Trump opened his triple chinned greasy pie hole. At some point we have to recall each and every lie that Trump has thrown out there for us to swallow, and then hold him accountable for each one. Each constitutes an indelible stain on the legitimacy of the office of the presidency, a stain on the institutions of democratic governance and a stain on the honor of this country. In fact, that's exactly what Donald Trump is: a filthy, reeking stain, the kind you have to treat your drawers for before throwing them in the washing machine. Otherwise, you're stuck with the streaks.

And need I remind you, GOP, that's your spoiled rotten brat out there. So whatever he's doing to this country with your complicity and support, that's entirely on you. If he streaks it, you own it.

Try shouting that out.
