Dear President Trump, Today seems like a good day to start with a blessing; May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May your life unfold and intersect peacefully. We've all known it was coming but having Director Comey definitively say that the FBI is investigating whether your campaign worked with … Continue reading It won’t work to just impeach you and install Pence

Your hypocrisy is a craven wonder
Dear President Trump, I'm guessing you are having a tough day today waging damage control efforts in response to the FBI/NSA congressional testimony. Must be tough hearing there were no wiretaps on you while there is an ongoing investigation of Russia's election tampering and an ongoing investigation into whether your campaign collaborated with Russia in … Continue reading Your hypocrisy is a craven wonder
Your karma needs all the help it can get
Dear President Trump, I think others have tried to explain how you use fake news to us before, but it wasn't until I was puzzling (again) over the apparently irrational and stupid claim that the British secret service was involved in wiretapping you that I finally understood what you are doing. Basically, no matter how … Continue reading Your karma needs all the help it can get
Some say hope is worst of all
Dear President Trump, It's been raining here in Seattle nearly constantly for weeks. It just keeps coming. Obviously we are used to rain and dealing with the wet hassle of it here in Western Washington, but the temptation to just hole up inside is enormous. At least for those of us who have dry, safe … Continue reading Some say hope is worst of all
Sometimes the only thing I can do is pray
Dear President Trump, It's pretty late in the day for me to be writing to you but it's been an especially rough 24 hours and frankly, I've spent most of the day either trying to avoid thinking about you or trying to find a constructive way to address you. You see, I set a rule … Continue reading Sometimes the only thing I can do is pray
Ordinary is inordinately confusing
Good morning President Trump, Just over 20 years ago when we drove home from the hospital without our son, I was ill and devastated, and struck by the ordinariness I was seeing. The sun was shining, traffic was moving, people were going about their business. The juxtaposition was confusing and felt insanely unfair and wrong. … Continue reading Ordinary is inordinately confusing
It was a sensible choice until it wasn’t
Later.... Dear President Trump, I’ve been thinking more about out of work coal miners and other blue collar workers in their 50’s, and 60’s who voted for you. My sense is that most of them took jobs after graduating high school and started earning good wages and benefits right away while their cousin or neighbor … Continue reading It was a sensible choice until it wasn’t
Who are you keeping happy?
Dear President Trump, I may be becoming overly cynical, but I can't help but think that whoever released two pages of your 2005 federal tax return was hoping that it would function as a distracting shiny object that would get us off the difficult and complicated topic of health care reform. Now, if you had … Continue reading Who are you keeping happy?
No handouts
Good Morning President Trump, Over the past 20 or so years I've puzzled over the consistent pattern of people seeming to vote in ways that undermine their own interests, and honestly, that puzzlement was never stronger than in the last 6 months following your election. I have always known that people do things for reasons, … Continue reading No handouts
The girl who overdosed at school
Dear President Trump, I keep thinking about her, wondering whether she is ok. I don't know this girl but I've spent a lot of time with her in my head since Friday afternoon when my daughter came home from school and told me that her friend found another girl passed out on the bathroom floor … Continue reading The girl who overdosed at school
