Alligator jail is what zoos are too though. I don’t think they’ve had due process. ---

And now I’m picturing an alligator behind the bench wearing a little, white wig and wielding a gavel. > I sentence this deer to be delicious. ---

“Crocodile, you have been found guilty of the crime of impersonating an alligator in the first degree. I sentence you to a term of not less than 25 years, and no more than your natural life, to be served at a facility to be determined by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. Court is adjourned.” ---

I visited an alligator prison once. The guards were all crocodiles. So the gators were stuck inside but the crocs caiman went as they pleased. ---

As long as we keep the gators out of alleys, so our streets are safer, we may have no choice but to lock them up. ---

Trump has always been known for not paying debts or keeping promises to ‘gladly pay Teusday for a hamberger today’….The hideous old fraud is like the unimaginably evil version of Wimpy (from Popeye). ---

How sad that the Wimpy caricature cartoon is actually much more flattering an image of him than a real picture. ---

Thank you. It took a few tries, but it finally came out. 🙂 1. Cartoon in the style of Popeye comics, depicting Donald Trump as Wimpy. A dialog ballon says, ‘I will gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamberder today.’ 2. Cartoon in the style of Popeye comics, depicting Donald Trump as Wimpy. A dialog ballon says, ‘I will gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamberder today.’ Make Trump’s face more identifiable. 3. Cartoon in the style of Popeye comics, depicting Donald Trump as Wimpy.

Oh, I’m sure. But she could kick his ass. That’s what I’m talking about. His lizard brain knows that. Shit, I’m a big dude and she scares ME. “Most powerfull man in the world gets his ass kicked by a former model from Slovania.” That’s the headline I want to see. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Actually, I didn’t. I wrote the word in German. I just forgot the capital ‘B’. 😉 Just for the sake of completedness, accuracy and nitpicking: A balloon whith words in it in comics and cartoons is called a _**[Sprechblase](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprechblase)**_ in German. A speech bubble, literally. A _Ballon_ (German for balloon) is much sturdier than a _Blase_ (English bubble).
