"Toontime: In the Land of Golden Showers


'Merica's politics have become a salacious crime novel. Don 'Showers' Trumpillini does not even bothering to cover up his ostentatious corruption.  He is literally defunding the USPS to prevent a nationwide mail-in ballot His strategy is to undermine confidence in the legitimacy of the election results enough to allow a close count to be declared "rigged" and "invalid".  He knows his racist, delusional supporters are outvoted, so vote suppression is his only option.  The plutocrats he represents want to continuing sponging off those of US still servicing their mounting debt. A cadre of 643 Forbes-certified billionaires grew their collective wealth by an estimated $685 billion, from mid-March through early-August of this year. Bon temps roller!
