Dear President Trump, So let's just imagine for a few minutes what it would have been like had Hillary Clinton won the election and how questions about ethics violations and conflicts of interest would have been handled if she were president with a Republican majority House and Senate. Hmm. Do you think they would, for … Continue reading Our tax dollars are supporting you screwing us over

Selling our children’s futures down the river
Dear President Trump, I know you never see these messages I send you. I am clear about that and know that even if you did see them, you wouldn't care one tiny iota what I have to say. I wish I were a big enough person to be able to honestly say this is ok … Continue reading Selling our children’s futures down the river
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
You underestimated us
Dear President Trump, I imagine there is much gnashing of teeth going on at your house tonight. Personally, I am enjoying imagining the unclenching of teeth going on in a great many more houses tonight as it sinks in that we can relax for a few minutes knowing our health care isn't going to be … Continue reading You underestimated us

Basically, no matter how … Continue reading Your karma needs all the help it can get
Who are you keeping happy?
Dear President Trump, I may be becoming overly cynical, but I can't help but think that whoever released two pages of your 2005 federal tax return was hoping that it would function as a distracting shiny object that would get us off the difficult and complicated topic of health care reform. Now, if you had … Continue reading Who are you keeping happy?
No handouts
Good Morning President Trump, Over the past 20 or so years I've puzzled over the consistent pattern of people seeming to vote in ways that undermine their own interests, and honestly, that puzzlement was never stronger than in the last 6 months following your election. I have always known that people do things for reasons, … Continue reading No handouts
Half-empty glass full of micro-aggressions
Dear President Trump, So I gave you the "glass is half full" part yesterday, which is that many of us in the country have started soul searching, talking with one another, trying to find some healthy ways forward. I am really very happy about all this. There is, however, a much darker "glass is (more … Continue reading Half-empty glass full of micro-aggressions
