Exactly correct.

Grog reading—of course. He’s not a barbarian, after all.

The only time you can be sure a politician is telling the truth, is when they are calling another politician a liar.

Technically, the wallet is shaken before the election too.

“I’m a politician, which means I’m a cheat and a liar, and when I’m not kissing babies, I’m stealing their lollipops.” – The Hunt For Red October

A real politician … a person who shakes your hand and pockets your wallet before an election, then taxes you for the return of your empty wallet after.

The Covid-19 vaccine should be tested on politicians first…

If they survive, the vaccine is safe.

If they don’t, the country is safe.

You’d think politicians have bigger issues to tackle than housework and cleanliness.

Yet they often call for sweeping reforms.

So I just found out some politicians with bowel problems are unfairly helping other politicians with bowel problems rise to power.

I guess our government has a problem with crohnyism.

Which symptom is shared by all the politicians worldwide?

Constipation. They are always full of sh*t.

Did you hear about the politician who came home late at night after a hard day at work?

He was Satired’

I can’t believe I got arrested for impersonating a politician…

I was just sitting around doing nothing.

Politicians and diapers have one thing in common…

They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

Every time I hear a politician speak, I have this overwhelming feeling that I’ve heard this bullsh*t before.

Psychologists call it Déjà poo.

The one that always gets me is the “I approve this message” or you get those PAC groups who like to sling mud at their opponent or candidate.

Once you donate to a politician, your name stays on his email list forever, which is why I have yet to donate.

A person who has no plans or ideas so instead of trying to convince you to vote FOR them, they try to scare you into vote AGAINST the other candidate

A person who shakes your hand with his left hand while emptying you pocket with his right hand

The thing is, Grog ole boy, that’s their job. Without taxation you can kiss the military, medicaid, social security, ATDC, most roads and bridges, and quite a few jobs goodbye.

This is not the season for it, but.

It was so cold in DC last week that several Congressmen were seen with their hands in their own pockets.

And your confidence after that…

Spot On !!!

Based on what I’m receiving in the mail, before the election one hand shakes and the other reaches around to the wallet.

A politician is someone who knows all the words to “Taxman”

Only for the workers. The rich pay in advance to ensure the workers pay more.

now it is before and after

“Politicians are a lot like diapers. They should be changed frequently, and for the same reasons.” ― Mark Twain

Good definition.

Huh. They’ve pretty much got their hands out for your wallet ALL the time. . .the amount of money spent on campaigns could feed all the low-income folks in thiscountry. . . could pull schools out of deficit. . .could. . .

When one shakes your hand, better count your fingers afterward.

Truer words never spoken.

Almost everyone I have ever done business with has shaken my hand and then my wallet. That is kind of the characterization of an economy in a stable society.

Election n. A process by which the people choose who shall pick their pockets for a set term.

NO, no, he’s got it backwards. First they pick your wallet, then they shake your hand.

Whiner: The person who doesn’t participate in local politics, then wonders why they’re constantly disappointed.

Seriously, enough with the hyperbole about politicians: WE elect ‘em. If you voted without knowing the politician, that’s on you.

Just dust and overdue notes will fall out of mine.

Har de har…bashing politicians…har de har…

After they take your money, they raise your taxes

They even want your money before as a campaign contribution

Orangie the clown shakes your wallet before, during and after

As usual, they’re right on the money.

Now-a-Days they shake your hand as they pick half of your wallet now and then the other half after the election …. ;)

Pay for all the things you wanted??

I thought someone else (anyone else) was supposed to pay for it.

Love it! Thanks for the laugh. And thanks, by the way, for making it a general laugh at all politicians without poking at any one of them. In an election year, we need all the clean (no mud slinging) laughs we can get.
