Dear President Trump, It’s been raining here for weeks. We’ve had almost twice the average rainfall for April and more rain is forecast. We can hear the water moving through the drainage system in the basement and I continue to be grateful we got it together a few years ago to replace our aged sump … Continue reading The white patriarchy is rootless and dead
Hummingbird down
Dear President Trump, This morning when I took the dogs for a walk there was a perfectly intact dead hummingbird sitting on the sidewalk in front of our next-door neighbor’s house. With the dogs in tow (or really, me in tow), I couldn’t stop and study it right then but after we got back I … Continue reading Hummingbird down
May we walk humbly with one another
Dear President Trump, I drafted much of this letter a couple of weeks ago and have put off sending it because there has been so much going on that I felt compelled to write to you about, but I’m really, really tired of fussing at you so today is the day to send this. In … Continue reading May we walk humbly with one another
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
What is Bannon up to?
Dear President Trump, Yesterday afternoon when I saw on NPR that Ryan is considering a presidential bid in 2024 I was forced to reconsider the odds that he’ll step up and facilitate legislation to block you from torpedoing the Russia investigation. It’s still a possibility; he might decide that in six years voters will think … Continue reading What is Bannon up to?
Is Ryan growing a spine?
Dear President Trump, I think I see what Ryan is doing. Do you see it? Are you feeling nervous? I don’t have a crystal ball but we should know in the next day or two if I’m correct in thinking he’s announcing today that he’s not seeking re-election so he can go ahead and do … Continue reading Is Ryan growing a spine?
Who knew we’d all become quasi-legal experts
Dear President Trump, I’m not sure I’d even want to be a fly on the wall in the Oval Office today since I doubt I’d make it out alive. Maybe if I held really still and hid somewhere, like in the drapes, I could listen in on your unraveling without being swatted at. That might … Continue reading Who knew we’d all become quasi-legal experts
Our souls suffer when we are myopic
Dear President Trump, If the lack of censure from Fox News and the rest of their ilk in the aftermath of Todd Brassner’s death is an indication, apparently you could shoot someone in broad daylight on 5th Avenue and get away with it. A Twitter person pointed out yesterday that if Hillary had failed to … Continue reading Our souls suffer when we are myopic
Sprinklers are not too much to ask
Dear President Trump, I just checked to see if you have Tweeted about the man who died in the fire in Trump Tower yesterday, but I couldn’t find anything beyond your insistence that it is well built. I did see that you got out of installing sprinklers in TT even though high-rise residential buildings were … Continue reading Sprinklers are not too much to ask
Human nature + guns = bad news
Dear President Trump, Did you catch wind of Ralph Norman’s antics yesterday? He pulled a loaded revolver out and laid it on the table in front of him during a meeting with his constituents in South Carolina. He said everyone was safer with him and his loaded gun there and that he wasn’t going to … Continue reading Human nature + guns = bad news
