Dear President Trump, I realize you don't care and will never know, but the day rather got away from me so this is going to be short. Rather than launching into a substantive topic about one of the many ways you and your administration are screwing things up for the vast majority of the earth's … Continue reading You can’t logic your way out of a hat

Tolerance was starting to get traction
Dear President Trump, I wonder if you know the myth of Cronus, the Father of Time who upon learning in a prophecy that his children were destined to overthrow him someday, just went ahead and ate them. It might be too arcane for you, but it got me thinking how time really eats all children … Continue reading Tolerance was starting to get traction
Stopped clocks are right more often than you
Dear President Trump, It has been true from day 1 of your presidency that there are more scary things deserving of comment coming out of your administration than I can count, but lately I've been feeling almost like I should just pull something randomly out of a hat to write to you about. There's so … Continue reading Stopped clocks are right more often than you
Selling our children’s futures down the river
Dear President Trump, I know you never see these messages I send you. I am clear about that and know that even if you did see them, you wouldn't care one tiny iota what I have to say. I wish I were a big enough person to be able to honestly say this is ok … Continue reading Selling our children’s futures down the river
More people in harm’s way
Dear President Trump, I think Masha Gessen makes some very good points in her NYT's editorial this morning. As you may or may not know, her main premise is that we who oppose you need to be careful not to stoop to exaggerating or fabricating to make our points and that there is more than … Continue reading More people in harm’s way
Conquer and divide taken to new, sick heights
Dear President Trump, I've been wondering how much longer I'm going to need to address you as President Trump and thus, how much longer I need to send you loving-kindness blessings. It's already been far longer than I'd like and it could be as long as 2,855 more days if you somehow avoid impeachment and … Continue reading Conquer and divide taken to new, sick heights
It’s hard to muster compassion for cheaters
Dear President Trump, When I thought that you were just a poor president who was hell-bent on dismantling all the progress we've made over the last 60 years so that you and your friends could get back to the big business of robbing the poor to pay the rich it was much easier to write … Continue reading It’s hard to muster compassion for cheaters
You underestimated us
Dear President Trump, I imagine there is much gnashing of teeth going on at your house tonight. Personally, I am enjoying imagining the unclenching of teeth going on in a great many more houses tonight as it sinks in that we can relax for a few minutes knowing our health care isn't going to be … Continue reading You underestimated us
Terrorism or gun control – it should be an easy choice
Dear President Trump, I bet you are pretty disappointed that Khalid Masood was British born and not from one of the six countries still on your Muslim-ban wish-list. Yes, I am relieved that he was British born, though not surprised since it is far more likely that someone who was born in the EU or … Continue reading Terrorism or gun control – it should be an easy choice
Then there’s gerrymandering…..
Dear President Trump, I sure wish you would surprise me and do or say something I could get behind. I'm so tired of feeling dismayed and disgusted by you and your administration. At this point, though, even if you did come through with something positive, like allow US officials to attend the summit on human … Continue reading Then there’s gerrymandering…..
