Dear President Trump, Last night as I read the articles about Ruddy G’s statements to Sean H that you repaid Michael C the money he paid Stephanie C (aka Stormy D) I was eating Raisinets and suddenly realized it was like I was watching a bad movie. I’m visiting my mom this week and shared … Continue reading Raisinets and popcorn

Handy Scooter Libby
Dear President Trump, When you let Scooter Libby off the hook today, did you give him a special presidential pardon so he’ll get the 250k back? Apparently this was a hot topic in 2007 when Cheney was pressuring G.W. to pardon Libby. If you do say he can have the money back, are you going … Continue reading Handy Scooter Libby
Dreamcatchers
Dear President Trump, I have another story for you today; this one is from the Ojibwa tribe. The Ojibwa believe that Spider Woman is the mystical protector of their people. As the tribe grew and spread out over ever vaster territory (originally the upper Midwest and Southern Canada), Spider Woman needed to figure out how … Continue reading Dreamcatchers
Bozo of a president
Dear President Trump, You’ve had a hell of a week! Was screwing with the country today about whether you’d sign the budget bill the cherry on top? I bet it was actually tough signing that thing with such a pittance for your precious wall (though that billion-dollar-plus pittance would sure build a lot of low … Continue reading Bozo of a president
West Wing revolving door
Dear President Trump, It’s like “The Gong Show” at your place, isn’t it? You all should probably install a revolving door to make it easier for people to exit quickly when you are done using them and to usher in the newbies all in a whoosh so they come in good and disoriented. The other … Continue reading West Wing revolving door
Imagine
Dear President Trump, Normally during Lent I focus on giving up one of the many habits I’m not especially proud of and I am working on one this year (refraining from self-promotion that’s driven by insecurity), but I realized this morning I also need an active Lenten practice that’s doing something and not just refraining … Continue reading Imagine
1945/2018
Dear President Trump, Has the confluence of Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday made it into your awareness? Even though you aren’t especially religious and you don’t seem at all spiritual, you are probably still tracking that today is Ash Wednesday and it’s impossible to miss Valentine’s Day in the US. I just read that the … Continue reading 1945/2018
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….
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
Breathe in suffering, breathe out peace
Dear President Trump, Like most people, I well understand that good news doesn't sell and thus our news outlets focus almost exclusively on bad news, the badder the better. To most news organizations you probably seem sent from the profit heavens above. There's not a part of our collective existence you and your swampy appointees … Continue reading Breathe in suffering, breathe out peace
