Dear President Trump, Laura is back on Twitter after a long break from the mayhem and earlier today she came across this gem from your guy Rudy G during his appearance on George Stephanopoulos’s ABC show This Week: “Collusion is not a crime, it was over with before the election.” Truly, no could make this … Continue reading Rudy G: stupid, twisted, and/or hateful
Russia
Played, big time
Dear President Trump, Because I’m not yet sure what I think about your performance piece with Representative Pelosi and Senator Schumer (aka “Nancy and Chuck”) today, I’m going to write to you instead about something I’ve been mulling over for the last few days. There’s no way in hell this will be the conclusion the … Continue reading Played, big time
Painfully obvious stuff
Dear President Trump, Robby Mook has a strong Op Ed in the WP this morning. He lays out how it’s been clear from the get go that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. As Clinton’s campaign manager he appeared on numerous news shows right after the first DNC email dump and told the nation that … Continue reading Painfully obvious stuff
“Breaking News:……”
Dear President Trump, You know how news sites periodically flash a bright red banner with “Breaking News:…..” emblazoned across it? Well, lately I’ve been thinking about how the phrase speaks to both the idea of some new, presumably important, piece of information breaking through the background noise and also to the idea that whatever the … Continue reading “Breaking News:……”
Nothing is beneath you. Nothing.
Dear President Trump, Jennifer Rubin (WP) seems to think you’ve made the final pitch in your quest to maximally stoke racial animus and xenophobia before the mid-terms next week with your disgusting ad claiming the Democrats are responsible for Luis Bracamontes, a twice-deported illegal immigrant, having killed two police officers. Unfortunately, I think she’s underestimating … Continue reading Nothing is beneath you. Nothing.
Why are you so willing to alienate even more women?
Dear President Trump, Who do you have watching the polls? Have you told whoever it is that you want the unvarnished truth about what those polls are saying? And if so, when they tell you the truth, are you taking it in or are you blasting the messenger? The poll I’m thinking about was reported … Continue reading Why are you so willing to alienate even more women?
Liar, liar…..
Dear President Trump, When I saw the news midday that Paul Manafort pleaded guilty and will cooperate with the Mueller investigation in exchange for less prison time the taunt “liar, liar pant’s on fire” popped into my head. I was thinking about you, of course, and how you must be feeling the heat now that … Continue reading Liar, liar…..
Cowardly abuses of power
Dear President Trump, You will no doubt dismiss the new WP-ABC poll numbers as so much fake news, but I’m sure you are studying them carefully to figure out how to best calibrate the next round of divisive fear mongering. As usual, people of color are the canaries in the coalmine in that over 80% … Continue reading Cowardly abuses of power
Cynical and slick
Dear President Trump, Who is feeding you instructions? Is Steven Miller whispering in your ear? Or Steve Bannon from afar? Or maybe Vladimir P from further afar? Have they formed a boy band to make sure you hear the same message no matter which way you turn? I know you’re capable of coming up with … Continue reading Cynical and slick
What have we done?
Dear President Trump, I’m not sure at what point I started crying. I think it was during the video of President Obama’s highlights in office the HP put together for his birthday today. Seeing him smiling and engaged, signing the marriage equality act into law, flipping burgers for people on the White House lawn, talking … Continue reading What have we done?
