Dear President Trump, So we allowed you to meet alone with the man who orchestrated massive attacks on our election process to tilt the results in your favor. No aids, no note takers, no formal record of what was said. And as far as I know, there were no protests over the weekend, no one … Continue reading Not all acts of war involve bombs
Democracy Under Siege
Vladimir is also using serious sticks
Dear President Trump, I think you were telling the truth, for once, when you said “So all I can do is say, ‘Did you?’ and ‘Don’t do it again.’” I believe it’s true that this is all you can do to confront Vladimir Monday if you want to wake up Tuesday or if you want … Continue reading Vladimir is also using serious sticks
He’s feeding his pet monkeys
Dear President Trump, I don’t understand why we aren’t all automatically asking “What did Vladimir get from that incredible debacle?” all the time. Anyone trying to make sense of your all’s behavior is going to drive themselves crazy trying to find normal logical explanations. The only thing that makes sense is that you are trashing … Continue reading He’s feeding his pet monkeys
Strategic social opprobrium
Dear President Trump, Just a few more days before you get to relax and stop manufacturing stupid things to lash out at our allies over. Counting today, you’ve only got four more days before you get to have your tete a tete with Vladimir. Are there protocols in place to protect the interpreters from poison … Continue reading Strategic social opprobrium
The specter of an even stronger you
Dear President Trump, I am very happy to report that I just got back from picking up our daughter at the airport! She was able to get a new passport at the US Consulate this morning after lot of middle of the night (for us) texting and calling back and forth to get her all … Continue reading The specter of an even stronger you
Sacrificial lambs on the altar of your ambition
Dear President Trump, I’m distracted and not sure I’ll be able to write you a proper letter today. Our daughter has been in England for three weeks with her crew team and they are set to come home tomorrow, but we heard from her a couple of hours ago that her passport is missing. She … Continue reading Sacrificial lambs on the altar of your ambition
“Your true colors” are ugly
Dear President Trump, This past Thursday there was a pretty great, in a sick sort of way, juxtaposition of articles just below the fold in the WP. On the far left was an article about Chuck Schumer’s appeal to you to nominate Merrick Garland to fill Kennedy’s Supreme Court seat and just to the right … Continue reading “Your true colors” are ugly
Relentlessly cruel
Dear President Trump, Last night the illegal fireworks were relentless. They started around 7pm and went until at least 1am. Once they really got going there were long bursts of ten or fifteen rounds every five minutes and there were more different types of scary, percussive sounds than any of us can remember ever hearing … Continue reading Relentlessly cruel
Traitor-in-Chief
Dear President Trump, It sure doesn’t feel like there’s much about the USA to celebrate on our collective birthday today, at least nothing having to do with the Executive Branch. That this is our Independence Day anniversary is especially galling and ironic following the release yesterday of the bipartisan Senate report (nice timing, eh?) concluding … Continue reading Traitor-in-Chief
“Dangers of nostalgia….”
Dear President Trump, Yesterday we peeked in the window of a gallery downtown that was closed. The bleached, white-washed American flag with plastic stripes and star background full of shredded money hanging in the front window is a strong, pointed piece as are cutout iron strips that say “Freedom is Slavery,” “Ignorance is Strength,” and … Continue reading “Dangers of nostalgia….”
