Dear President Trump, So I realize your demise wouldn’t solve all that much; you’ve got an entire machine churning behind you. Even though the machine operators probably couldn’t find anyone else quite so perfect as you, they are directing the hard to repair, truly damaging business of taking down democracy, not you. As I’ve said … Continue reading Democracy demolition front man

Why are you allowed to do this?
Dear President Trump, The Seattle area is having its own mini-version of the polar vortex. The temperature didn’t get above 30 today. We got about 6” of snow so schools were closed and those of us who could work from home, did. The streets are still a scary mess. We’ve only had one day of … Continue reading Why are you allowed to do this?
“Groundhog Day” ~ the remake
Dear President Trump, Happy Groundhog Day. I’m (sort of) curious – did you ever see the movie? The one where Bill Murray has to keep redoing the same day over and over until he figures out how to be a decent human being? I think it’s ripe for a remake. It probably wouldn’t be all … Continue reading “Groundhog Day” ~ the remake
Beyond gaslighting
Dear President Trump, Hey, so I was wrong yesterday about how you tried to weasel out of having bashed the intelligence agency directors. Although I stand by my claim that you and your administration do faux walk-backs all the time, this time your tactic with the intelligence community was different, and worse. Rather than a … Continue reading Beyond gaslighting
Faux walk-backs and plausible deniability
Dear President Trump, I know I’ve been full of questions lately, but here are some more: Do you think Schumer really thinks it would help for the US Intelligence leaders to sit down and explain to you that your penchant for disregarding their evaluations and undermining their credibility will do any good at all? Do … Continue reading Faux walk-backs and plausible deniability
Major negatives and a positive
Dear President Trump, Since there are both major negatives related to you that burbled up today, as usual, and a really nice positive development to shine light on, this letter will be a bit of a smorgasbord. Negatives first. Earlier in the day a friend treated me to an indignant retelling of an upstate New … Continue reading Major negatives and a positive
Not holding my breath
Dear President Trump, We saw our first irises and our first hummingbird of the season this morning. The hummingbird was quite entertaining – it flew way up high and hovered there while making very loud high pitched calls and then chittering like they do as it came down to alight on a tree branch for … Continue reading Not holding my breath
Shutdown Day 34; who or what is driving this?
Dear President Trump, Where to start? I suppose it doesn’t really matter all that much since wherever I look there’s grim news about the overwhelmingly negative impacts you and yours are having on pretty much everything (except for certain people’s bank accounts and certain foreign dictators’ satisfaction quotients). The shutdown is now in its 34th … Continue reading Shutdown Day 34; who or what is driving this?
The case for booting Pence too
Dear President Trump, Happy MLK Day to you and your family. I was glad to see that you and Mike Pence attended an MLK Day celebration today. Did it perhaps inspire you to unstick yourself from your asinine fixation on “the border wall” so that you can stop this government shutdown of yours that’s differentially … Continue reading The case for booting Pence too
What is Mueller up to?
Dear President Trump, Are you breathing a sigh of relief tonight? Seems like, for now, you dodged a bullet with Mueller’s team having said: “BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the special counsel’s office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s congressional testimony are not accurate.” The Justice Department … Continue reading What is Mueller up to?
