Dear President Trump, Where to begin? You know how in the “olden days” when people (mostly white people) thought it was just fine to dump all their sewer and garbage in whatever waterway they happened to be near or over the edge of a cliff not too far away? Well, aside from this still being … Continue reading A handy tool of mass destruction

Treason 101
Dear President Trump, I suppose one plus of your presidency is that we now have so very many reasons to want (and need) to revisit old civics and government lessons. For example, reading Derek Hawkins’s history lesson on treason this morning in the WP I learned that the constitution framers were careful to delineate treason … Continue reading Treason 101
Love is love
Dear President Trump, It’s nice to see a few Republican congress people showing some backbone and putting a sliver of a wedge between themselves and you regarding Devin N’s memo and what it does and doesn’t mean for the Russia investigation. It is confusing, though, that Gowdy, who apparently helped draft the memo, is now … Continue reading Love is love
Memo Mess
Dear President Trump, The Huffington Post seems to be on to you, thank goodness. You have to scroll down a ways, but they are running an article pointing out how several conservative news sites were leaked the Nunes memo before it was officially released, which all but confirms that the point was really to provide … Continue reading Memo Mess
Putin’s got you covered, doesn’t he?
Dear President Trump, We are careening towards the one-year mark of your presidency, and I think we are in for an especially rocky week. You’ve been even more reactive, undisciplined, and cruel than usual recently. Given how things are coming to a head-on collision over DACA, a government shutdown Friday is looking likely. I’m sure … Continue reading Putin’s got you covered, doesn’t he?
If you didn’t want to win….
Dear President Trump, I wonder whether any day now your camp is going to pivot on the Wolff F & F book and claim that his commentary on how none of you expected to nor wanted to win the election is “proof” you all didn’t collude with Russia. It would be a tidy turn of … Continue reading If you didn’t want to win….
“You reap what you sow”
Dear President Trump, We got a surprise holiday card in the mail today. It was from the woman at church who got so frustrated with me a few weeks ago when she thought I took too long in the pastor’s receiving line. I know I told you how she sent an apology note, but I … Continue reading “You reap what you sow”
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
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?
