Good Morning President Trump, It may be somewhat self-serving but I've decided that focusing for now on positives is patriotic, basically in the same way dissent is patriotic. You have gotten far too much mileage out of focusing on and fanning people's fears, trying to convince us that things are dire and only you can … Continue reading Positivity – day 2, focusing on positives is patriotic

Positive things are still happening
Dear President Trump, Today is my birthday and I was really hoping that as a sort of present from the Universe we would have had at least one arrest in the Russia collusion situation by now. I'm not really surprised it hasn't happened yet, but it would have been nice. I suppose it's possible there … Continue reading Positive things are still happening
Access is key
Dear President Trump, Fairness and equity are or are not realized and enacted for all sorts of reasons, but one of the most critical is access. Nearly all of the problems I laid out yesterday about our electoral process have to do with access and how it is manipulated by a small moneyed group. Therefore, … Continue reading Access is key
Our sorry election system
Dear President Trump, Your presidency and how you got there have highlighted so many issues that we, as a country, have to grapple with. The one I'll focus on today is the need for us to take a very hard look at our election system. You've said it is rigged and actually, you are right, … Continue reading Our sorry election system
You are not a resurrection sort
Dear President Trump, I wish you were a president I want to wish a Happy Easter, but you aren't. You are not a resurrection sort of president who is invested in bringing about positive, creative change for the good of the people. In fact, you have shown yourself to be someone who is invested in … Continue reading You are not a resurrection sort
All things in moderation. Really?
Dear President Trump, In case you were wondering, I woke up feeling much better today. Still sore and tender, but healing up and the malaise is gone. Today I've been thinking about the phrase "moderation in all things." I'm not sure why it popped into my head but it did. I've realized that at both … Continue reading All things in moderation. Really?
When I feel like crap
Dear President Trump, If I had not committed to myself to send you commentary and a loving-kindness blessing every day, this would be one of those days I'd just skip it. I told you yesterday about tripping on the uneven sidewalk and falling so it won't surprise you (if you were reading these messages, that … Continue reading When I feel like crap
Deals with Devils don’t leave much for the rest of us
Dear President Trump, This morning on my run it was dark. There was a raised part of the sidewalk I didn't see and I went down hard. Fortunately I didn't break anything but I'm quite banged up and it looks like someone punched me in the mouth with rough sandpaper taped to their fist. It … Continue reading Deals with Devils don’t leave much for the rest of us
Thank you, Mr. McConnell, for being so upfront
Dear President Trump, You have a lot of people doing a lot of things for you. Spicer is your mouthpiece, channeling you and saying uninformed, inflammatory stuff to keep things chaotic and off-topic. Bannon is your local shadowy homunculus, master-minding the narratives and keeping you on point with your attacks and misdirections. Kushner is your … Continue reading Thank you, Mr. McConnell, for being so upfront
Lizard brains
Dear President Trump, There's an awful lot in the news lately about infighting and tensions within your administration. I imagine you are feeling stressed and frustrated, and scared. I imagine you all are feeling these ways as your crooked house of cards folds in on itself. One of the crappy things about being an untrustworthy … Continue reading Lizard brains
