Dear President Trump, Your top dollar Mar-a-lago New Year’s Eve party is probably starting to hop about now. Are you donating the entrance fee to charity? How about donating to an anti-bullying campaign to support Melania’s chosen cause? If you were to make a strong gesture in the direction of stopping bullying, it would be … Continue reading We won’t be unseen or unheard

Let’s go back to end of year album rankings
Dear President Trump, In the past when we counted down the final hours of a year, we listened to various gurus’ music rankings for the year. Seems pretty quaint now as 2017 winds down, but still, I’d much rather think about such trivialities than reflect on all the damage inflicted on the country and the … Continue reading Let’s go back to end of year album rankings
Scandals prop you up
Dear President Trump, Did you see Andrés Miguel Rondón’s Perspectives piece in the WP? It was first posted on the 26th and I saw it there but kept skimming past it because the title (“To beat President Trump, you have to learn to think like his supporters”) was so off-putting. I would rather not start … Continue reading Scandals prop you up
How about a New Year’s resolution or 30?
Dear President Trump, It’s that time of year when people start narrowing down their New Years’ resolution lists. I’ve never been keen on setting self-improvement goals at the New Year even though I usually try to make some noble change for Lent. Maybe I’m able to make changes for Lent because I’m only committing to … Continue reading How about a New Year’s resolution or 30?
I bet you use fear tactics to try and lure white women back
Dear President Trump, Are you playing the tape of Pence and the others piling on the kudos on continuous loop to compensate for the scary meeting you all apparently had later about the 2018 midterm elections? And how many propping up calls have you gotten from Putin encouraging you to stay the course, promising that … Continue reading I bet you use fear tactics to try and lure white women back
Cue the sycophants!
Dear President Trump, I almost typed “Dear President Rump.” Fitting. There are some other choice words that rhyme with trump like lump, dump, and crump, which means to explode heavily, and slump. I know, there’s bump as well and I suppose that fits in a way too. Maybe others are too grown up to go … Continue reading Cue the sycophants!
The darkest night
Dear President Trump, It feels really appropriate that you signed the gift to your family and friends (aka “the tax reform bill”) on the day of the longest night of the year. I saw the WP piece this morning about your donors pledging big money to get the propaganda presses churning to sell the American … Continue reading The darkest night
You all are being gifted hugely by the rest of us
Dear President Trump, Does it feel like it’s almost Christmas to you? I see the lights and trees and there are more cookies at work than usual, but I’m just not feeling it this year. I don’t want more stuff and I don’t want to be a party to more stuff. And when I think … Continue reading You all are being gifted hugely by the rest of us
You have their backs
Dear President Trump, There’s so much crap flying out of the White House, it’s absolutely disgusting. Like yesterday how you invited the head of the NRA to your Christmas party on the 5th anniversary of the Sandy Hook massacre. There are apologists saying you invite lots of people to your holiday parties and it just … Continue reading You have their backs
How did we get here?
Dear President Trump, It is absolutely absurd we have to be thankful a racist, homophobic, lawless man who is facing highly credible accusations of child abuse narrowly lost a US Senate race. What the hell? How is this even possible? And now we have a national newspaper's editorial board saying our President isn't fit to … Continue reading How did we get here?
