Dear President Trump, A couple of weeks ago I told you I would stop reacting to the mean, destructive things you say and do on a near daily basis because I think getting hooked by you is playing into a sick game that keeps us distracted. I am standing by that decision but want to … Continue reading We can’t wait for white men to be nice
Democracy Under Siege
McConnell must be really desperate
Dear President Trump, I've been traveling all day so haven't been able to keep up with the news except to see that Senator McConnell is threatening to resort to something nearly unthinkable if he can't get the Republican votes he needs to pass the wealth redistribution bill otherwise known as the Senate healthcare bill -- … Continue reading McConnell must be really desperate
“You can never have too much money”
Dear President Trump, When I was 24 I lived with roommates in Boston after college, working at the VA as a research assistant preparing to apply to graduate school. When it was time to actually apply I did the math and realized I couldn't afford the cost of grad school applications, pay rent, and eat … Continue reading “You can never have too much money”
It’s about getting money to rich people faster, isn’t it?
Dear President Trump, I keep trying to figure out the calculus you all are using in your various efforts to undo safety nets and protections. I get that the basic overall goal is more money for wealthy people, that much is abundantly clear even with the hand waving about smaller, more efficient government and less … Continue reading It’s about getting money to rich people faster, isn’t it?
Slithery lies under oath
Dear President Trump, I've been trying to remember whether I had to swear to tell the truth when we went through mediation with the crazy, brazen woman who sued us for $80,000 when our dog grazed her middle finger after we told her not to reach out to the dog suddenly (which she did). There … Continue reading Slithery lies under oath
What if the Emperor’s naked ass had been called out today?
Dear President Trump, I think most of us are feeling pretty cozy and righteous these days living in our own little echo chambers. Sounds like you all took this to new heights today with your round robin of who can out-kudo the rest of the pack in lavishing praise and props on you after you … Continue reading What if the Emperor’s naked ass had been called out today?
You didn’t even go through the motions
Dear President Trump, The fact checkers have been watching you for a long time and we all know they've not been impressed. They've been saying from the beginning that your statements are far more often false (as in lies) than those of any other president in history. I know you've publicly dismissed them as so … Continue reading You didn’t even go through the motions
I hope you slept poorly
Dear President Trump, How did you sleep last night? It may seem kind of mean, but I hope for your sake you slept poorly. Why would it be a good sign for you if you slept poorly the night before the FBI Director you fired is set to testify before Congress? It would signal you … Continue reading I hope you slept poorly
Who comes up with this shit?
Dear President Trump, I understand you have a busy day ahead, including meeting with "ObamaCare Victims" at 12:45 this afternoon. Who comes up with this shit? I mean really -- if the only way you all can think to sell your version of a healthcare bill is to over-dramatize problems with the existing one it … Continue reading Who comes up with this shit?
Will the family of rats rat each other out?
Dear President Trump, I've been wondering whose idea it was for Ivanka and Jared to be in your administration's inner circle. Yours? Theirs? Putin's? Did it just seem to organically develop into a "no brainer" sort of eventuality such that none of you can pinpoint the exact time or place when it was decided? I'm … Continue reading Will the family of rats rat each other out?
