Dear President Trump, I am not sure where I've been -- I just learned today about the Catheter Cowboy ads John Oliver is running on Fox & Friends for you. Apparently they started back in February so I've been missing out. I hope you’re learning something, anything, from them. I also saw your statement today … Continue reading Doubling down on harmonious balance

Those gloaty smirky smiles make my stomach turn
Dear President Trump, Having Flynn plead guilty and the Senate pass their tax bill in the middle of the night both happen within the same 24 hour period has me thinking about epic battles between good and evil and how crazy it is that nearly half the electorate would disagree with me on which is … Continue reading Those gloaty smirky smiles make my stomach turn
A nuclear crisis would give you cover
Dear President Trump, I'm sure you won't be surprised that I am among those who are certain you are either being played by Putin or that the two of you are cooperating to undermine democracy. The shell game your mouthpieces are running by insisting we all move on from the silly issue of Putin influencing … Continue reading A nuclear crisis would give you cover
We have to be relentless
Dear President Trump, I'm betting you are thanking your sick lucky stars for Sayfullo Saipov and his horrible, murderous attack yesterday in NYC since all the coverage of the Mueller indictments slipped below the fold. Don’t get too comfortable though -- Mueller is clearly just getting started. Did you see in the paper today that … Continue reading We have to be relentless
Two violent nuts
Dear President Trump, Turns out I was missing a critical element of your distraction technique; Rachel Maddow called it out in her interview with the New Yorker. You don't just distract with something silly or benign, you throw something down so offensive and outrageous that you force engagement because silence would be interpreted as complicity. … Continue reading Two violent nuts
Were you talking to Putin?
Dear President Trump, When I wrote you yesterday I'd been assuming your intended audience for the "your dreams will come true if you elect me president" speech was the group of people you were actually talking to, but I realized as I was falling asleep last night this was likely incorrect. My sense now is … Continue reading Were you talking to Putin?
You are not going to get a pass on Russia
Dear President Trump, Other people think I'm giving you too much credit when I suggest you purposely stir up controversy to distract us, but I still think it's a reasonable hypothesis. We were just seeing a series of headlines about Mr. Mueller's intensifying investigation into whether your campaign colluded with Russia to sway (fix?) the … Continue reading You are not going to get a pass on Russia
They can hang up their hoods
Dear President Trump, You know, at this point, I think you should just let it all hang out. The KKK people aren't all wearing their old hoods anymore and hundreds of formerly anonymous Internet trolls are coming out unmasked to parade around with AK-47s and tiki-torches so why shouldn't you claim your rightful place as … Continue reading They can hang up their hoods
About 20% of your public statements are true
Dear President Trump, I just read some astonishing figures; about 20% of your public statements are true and about 69% are clearly false. These numbers seemed about right to me but I reread it several times to give you the benefit of the doubt since it’s mind boggling someone could rack up that sort of … Continue reading About 20% of your public statements are true
Your base is starting to fracture
Dear President Trump, I know your staff periodically changes things up on this "contact the White House" page, but it was quite a surprise to get an email from the White House thanking me for my correspondence to you. I've probably written to you faithfully for over 160 days now and this is the first … Continue reading Your base is starting to fracture
