Dear President Trump, Are you playing the tape of Pence and the others piling on the kudos on continuous loop to compensate for the scary meeting you all apparently had later about the 2018 midterm elections? And how many propping up calls have you gotten from Putin encouraging you to stay the course, promising that … Continue reading I bet you use fear tactics to try and lure white women back
Racism
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?
You are keeping the right people happy
Dear President Trump, I am certain the talking head people on Fox & Friends (which always makes me think of Fantastic Mr. Fox and his strange friends when I type it) and Breitbart have been solidly on point all along with the idea that you are doing exactly what your base wants you to do … Continue reading You are keeping the right people happy
What was your motive?
Dear President Trump, It's happened a few times now where after I send you my letter for the day and I've received the usual immediate email back acknowledging receipt of my correspondence, a few hours later I'll get two more such White House missives. And this morning, there were actually two White House emails in … Continue reading What was your motive?
I hope your minders are on high alert
Dear President Trump, I bet you did not have a good day and in fact, I bet you did not have a good week. Basically, as soon as the Special Counsel team announced that Flynn's lawyers were no longer cooperating with your lawyers it was crystal clear that Flynn is flipping on you. We've been … Continue reading I hope your minders are on high alert
You all are squaring up for an incredible two-fer
(had to send it two installments) Dear President Trump, So, at the outset here, I really can't square what I am going to say to you today with yesterday's idea that we are on an inexorable arc toward true justice and peace. Maybe by the end of this letter I'll have found a way, but … Continue reading You all are squaring up for an incredible two-fer
Call us by our right names
(sent 11/14/17 due to power outage on the 13th) Dear President Trump, A couple of weeks ago our pastor's sermon focused on a young woman who came into her office off the street. She described how the woman was angry and prickly, how she seemed to want something she couldn't articulate. Our pastor asked her … Continue reading Call us by our right names
A dangerous, dangerous dynamic
Dear President Trump, Apparently we are just two or three weeks away from Mueller having you and Mr. Pence in for questioning. If you don't fire him between now and then, that is. I've tried to imagine what that scenario would be like, you firing him, I mean, and it gives me such bad willies … Continue reading A dangerous, dangerous dynamic
Lurching towards a more perfect union
Dear President Trump, Over and over yesterday at the NMAAH I was confronted with the stark reality that at the founding of our nation, women didn't count at all. We weren't considered citizens, we weren't 3/5s, we had no public (and little private) voice or power. Absolutely, many white women lived comfortably and benefited from … Continue reading Lurching towards a more perfect union
The pendulum is slamming back
Dear President Trump, Have you been to the National Museum of African American History? I'm guessing you haven't been so when you do go, I suggest you set aside most of a day and not plan much for later because you will be exhausted if you take in even a 20th of what is there. … Continue reading The pendulum is slamming back
