Dear President Trump, Maybe it’s been going on for years and I just missed it, but lately it’s been feeling like a lot of kids are acting more like adults than a lot of adults are acting like adults. Take, for example, Ruddy G’s spectacularly immature performances on national television. What adult in his right … Continue reading Kids get what matters
“Professional liar” iz u
Dear President Trump, Cameron Kasky has your number, doesn’t he? I wouldn’t be surprised if you are actually flattered by his assessment that you are a professional liar, seeing as this elevates you above the hoi polloi of ordinary liars. He pretty much nailed it when he pointed out that you say whatever you think … Continue reading “Professional liar” iz u
Not you wins in a landslide
Dear President Trump, I’m going to take it easy today and not get too heavy as I’m tired from driving back from Portland and coming home to a sick dog. While I was gone our neighbor loaned us her copy of “A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo” – the book John Oliver commissioned … Continue reading Not you wins in a landslide
Raisinets and popcorn
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
Lies and more lies
Dear President Trump, Yesterday when I laid out the main types of lying you do, it occurred to me to wonder whether it really matters which sort of cesspool they burble up from. One could argue that a lie is a lie is a lie, or that a liar is a liar, etc., and since … Continue reading Lies and more lies
A lying bumbling idiot
Dear President Trump, I missed two of the five reflection times yesterday, ran right past them, so to speak. I’ve set my phone to ping me at noon, 3pm, and 9pm so I’ll remember to pause at those times. I have pretty solid morning and bedtime practices and just need some support for the in … Continue reading A lying bumbling idiot
Five times a day for the common good
Dear President Trump, This morning despite my best intentions I ran right past the new 21st street Buddha and realized it just as I got to the point where I couldn’t see it on its porch because of its house. I think the combination of being extra careful of the sidewalk cracks (one of which … Continue reading Five times a day for the common good
Transactional forgiveness. Really?
Dear President Trump, I know I talked about it not too long ago, but I want to revisit the Lord’s Prayer today. In the UCC version we say “forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors” and I’ve always tripped right on through not giving the words much thought. The last couple of weeks … Continue reading Transactional forgiveness. Really?
The hell of self-defeating hypocrisy
Dear President Trump, I’d like to continue to say “la, la, la” to myself and not think about Joy Reid, her old blog, and her apology. Basically it pretty much sucks to have people on “my side” mess up and behave in ways that show ugly bias and poor judgment. Things would be so much … Continue reading The hell of self-defeating hypocrisy
Progress is not the same as finished
Dear President Trump, I’m going back to the dead, rootless tree that fell over a few blocks from my house to elaborate on the analogy I’ve drawn between it and the death of white patriarchy. Now that bushes, trees, and flowers are fully leafed out and in bloom it’s hard to see the dead tree … Continue reading Progress is not the same as finished
