Dear President Trump, I'm relieved other people with much more visibility than I'll ever have are asking out loud why you made such a dramatic turn-around in bombing Syria and whether it was motivated by a desire to put distance between your White House and Russia. I was feeling worried yesterday morning when most of … Continue reading We are on to you two
Russia
How vigorously righteous you look
Dear President Trump, You are getting a lot of props for launching nearly 60 missiles at an air base in Syria. All sorts of people are coming out saying you did the right thing by taking powerful action that communicates a strong message to Assad and also to Iran and North Korea. How vigorously righteous … Continue reading How vigorously righteous you look
Scared witless, early to middle-stage dementia, or both
Dear President Trump, For the most part I have avoided watching your press conferences or reading your speeches and interviews. They are so painful to witness because I disagree with you on the content so profoundly and I find them embarrassing. Yesterday though, I ended up watching your press conference with King Abdullah and reading … Continue reading Scared witless, early to middle-stage dementia, or both
If Hillary had won…
Dear President Trump, It remains to be seen whether there will be hard evidence confirming that you and your campaign colluded with Russia to throw the election (or elections). It's looking that way but we'll see. Should it come to pass that such evidence is uncovered I will be hard pressed to say which downstream … Continue reading If Hillary had won…
It’s like the house next door is on fire
Dear President Trump, I really don't like waiting until the very end of the day to write to you. I much prefer getting it over with first thing in the morning because I'm mentally and emotionally freer the rest of the day. Unfortunately though, even when I do write you in the morning my thoughts … Continue reading It’s like the house next door is on fire
You can’t logic your way out of a hat
Dear President Trump, I realize you don't care and will never know, but the day rather got away from me so this is going to be short. Rather than launching into a substantive topic about one of the many ways you and your administration are screwing things up for the vast majority of the earth's … Continue reading You can’t logic your way out of a hat
More people in harm’s way
Dear President Trump, I think Masha Gessen makes some very good points in her NYT's editorial this morning. As you may or may not know, her main premise is that we who oppose you need to be careful not to stoop to exaggerating or fabricating to make our points and that there is more than … Continue reading More people in harm’s way
Conquer and divide taken to new, sick heights
Dear President Trump, I've been wondering how much longer I'm going to need to address you as President Trump and thus, how much longer I need to send you loving-kindness blessings. It's already been far longer than I'd like and it could be as long as 2,855 more days if you somehow avoid impeachment and … Continue reading Conquer and divide taken to new, sick heights
It’s hard to muster compassion for cheaters
Dear President Trump, When I thought that you were just a poor president who was hell-bent on dismantling all the progress we've made over the last 60 years so that you and your friends could get back to the big business of robbing the poor to pay the rich it was much easier to write … Continue reading It’s hard to muster compassion for cheaters
Then there’s gerrymandering…..
Dear President Trump, I sure wish you would surprise me and do or say something I could get behind. I'm so tired of feeling dismayed and disgusted by you and your administration. At this point, though, even if you did come through with something positive, like allow US officials to attend the summit on human … Continue reading Then there’s gerrymandering…..
