Dear President Trump, I drafted much of this letter a couple of weeks ago and have put off sending it because there has been so much going on that I felt compelled to write to you about, but I’m really, really tired of fussing at you so today is the day to send this. In … Continue reading May we walk humbly with one another

Our souls suffer when we are myopic
Dear President Trump, If the lack of censure from Fox News and the rest of their ilk in the aftermath of Todd Brassner’s death is an indication, apparently you could shoot someone in broad daylight on 5th Avenue and get away with it. A Twitter person pointed out yesterday that if Hillary had failed to … Continue reading Our souls suffer when we are myopic
“Dangerous unselfishness”
Dear President Trump, I just checked to see if you’ve said anything about today being the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jrs’ assassination and so far all I see are essays on how he would lament your presidency if he were alive and admonishments to you to please ignore the day and go golfing … Continue reading “Dangerous unselfishness”
It was weird
Dear President Trump, Yesterday my church held a Good Friday service with seven women ministers preaching on Jesus’s last seven utterances. It was incredible. I wish you could have been there. I wish you would have wanted to be there. I wish you were someone who was willing to step into the mess of suffering … Continue reading It was weird
Dreamcatchers
Dear President Trump, I have another story for you today; this one is from the Ojibwa tribe. The Ojibwa believe that Spider Woman is the mystical protector of their people. As the tribe grew and spread out over ever vaster territory (originally the upper Midwest and Southern Canada), Spider Woman needed to figure out how … Continue reading Dreamcatchers
“Stonecatchers”
Dear President Trump, I finished Just Mercy last night, the book by Bryan Stevenson I’ve told you about before, and was so moved by the final story he shared. He was finishing up at a courthouse in Louisiana after a marathon day when he saw an elderly black woman sitting on some stairs. She smiled … Continue reading “Stonecatchers”
They won’t take “no” for an answer
Dear President Trump, I called it, didn’t I? Golfing at Mar-a-lago trumped being in Washington today for the rally. And last time I checked, you hadn’t even made a statement of your own; there was just a say-nothing squeak from a functionary about how you are prioritizing the safety of our nation’s children. Your true … Continue reading They won’t take “no” for an answer
Crowd sourced Tylenol
Dear President Trump, This morning I took the early Alaska flight out of Seattle to Reagan National and as I was going down the ramp to board the plane I started getting migraine lights in my right field of vision. Not good. Because she did an organizational overhaul of my travel backpack last night, I … Continue reading Crowd sourced Tylenol
“Things are not getting worse. They are getting uncovered.”
Dear President Trump, Reading some of your tweets (btw: it will never be ok with me that you are ruling/governing via Twitter) over the weekend blasting the Mueller investigation, McCabe, and Comey I realized I forgot an important angle in the takedown of a democracy. In addition to having damaging goods on your allies you … Continue reading “Things are not getting worse. They are getting uncovered.”
Empty-eyed zombies R not US
Dear President Trump, Yesterday I said we must cast our votes both to rid ourselves of you and to save democracy and I do believe this is true. However, people in Russia “voted” today even though Putin effectively eliminated any real competition. In China the legislature’s “vote” to remove the presidential term limits was bogus … Continue reading Empty-eyed zombies R not US
