Dear President Trump, I missed two of the five reflection times yesterday, ran right past them, so to speak. I’ve set my phone to ping me at noon, 3pm, and 9pm so I’ll remember to pause at those times. I have pretty solid morning and bedtime practices and just need some support for the in … Continue reading A lying bumbling idiot
Democracy Under Siege
And one to grow on
Dear President Trump, It being my birthday today and me being inclined to use this date as something of a personal time touchstone, I looked back at my letter to you from a year ago. That day I was concerned that there’d not been any indictments for collusion; I was so hoping at least one … Continue reading And one to grow on
Handy Scooter Libby
Dear President Trump, When you let Scooter Libby off the hook today, did you give him a special presidential pardon so he’ll get the 250k back? Apparently this was a hot topic in 2007 when Cheney was pressuring G.W. to pardon Libby. If you do say he can have the money back, are you going … Continue reading Handy Scooter Libby
What is Bannon up to?
Dear President Trump, Yesterday afternoon when I saw on NPR that Ryan is considering a presidential bid in 2024 I was forced to reconsider the odds that he’ll step up and facilitate legislation to block you from torpedoing the Russia investigation. It’s still a possibility; he might decide that in six years voters will think … Continue reading What is Bannon up to?
Is Ryan growing a spine?
Dear President Trump, I think I see what Ryan is doing. Do you see it? Are you feeling nervous? I don’t have a crystal ball but we should know in the next day or two if I’m correct in thinking he’s announcing today that he’s not seeking re-election so he can go ahead and do … Continue reading Is Ryan growing a spine?
Who knew we’d all become quasi-legal experts
Dear President Trump, I’m not sure I’d even want to be a fly on the wall in the Oval Office today since I doubt I’d make it out alive. Maybe if I held really still and hid somewhere, like in the drapes, I could listen in on your unraveling without being swatted at. That might … Continue reading Who knew we’d all become quasi-legal experts
Job security in the Age of Trump
Dear President Trump, Where, oh where to start? Let’s go with job security in the Age of Trump. Scott Pruitt’s job is hanging by a thread but he’s still useful to you so he’s getting a pass. He’s slithering by because he is doing a bang-up job of gutting President Obama’s environmental protections. Does he … Continue reading Job security in the Age of Trump
It’s hard to study if you don’t have enough to eat
Dear President Trump, I read this morning that about 36% of university students in the US deal with food insecurity and close to that proportion cope with unstable housing. Given the secrecy and shame around not having enough and not appearing to be ok, the numbers are probably underestimating the real extent of these problems. … Continue reading It’s hard to study if you don’t have enough to eat
We are most certainly not in tippy-top shape
Dear President Trump, Yesterday when I saw that Melania’s Egg Roll on the White House lawn was scheduled for today, I immediately thought it was so you all could have one more day down at Mar-a-lago. Fortunately before blasting you for shirking I looked up the date for the last one the Obamas hosted and … Continue reading We are most certainly not in tippy-top shape
Jesus wasn’t about walls
Dear President Trump, It’s felt like April Fool’s Day for 435 days so it’s hard to imagine how much worse things will get now that virtually all the semi-rational people in your administration have resigned or were fired by Tweet. The only possible silver lining is that your Foxy Friends will egg you on to … Continue reading Jesus wasn’t about walls
