Dear President Trump, Yesterday on my way home from church I saw a sticker in the back window of a pick-up truck that showed two universal stick figures and a gas pump. The words that were big enough for me to read from a distance were “Ass or Gas”. Apparently I live under a rock … Continue reading “Ass or Gas”
Love is love
Dear President Trump, It’s nice to see a few Republican congress people showing some backbone and putting a sliver of a wedge between themselves and you regarding Devin N’s memo and what it does and doesn’t mean for the Russia investigation. It is confusing, though, that Gowdy, who apparently helped draft the memo, is now … Continue reading Love is love
Some good news
Dear President Trump, Fortunately today the WP folks started calling out the cynical underpinnings of Devin N’s memo and your rousing endorsement of it. WP columnist Max Boot pointed out that the memo is really about making sure you have 34 GOP Senators willing to vote “no” should impeachment proceedings be initiated against you after … Continue reading Some good news
Memo Mess
Dear President Trump, The Huffington Post seems to be on to you, thank goodness. You have to scroll down a ways, but they are running an article pointing out how several conservative news sites were leaked the Nunes memo before it was officially released, which all but confirms that the point was really to provide … Continue reading Memo Mess
Threat detection and the many ways it can go wrong
Dear President Trump, This morning I noticed a little rough patch in the plastic retainer I have to wear to shift that tooth that is out of whack since I fell last year. For what seemed like a long time my tongue couldn’t leave that one spot alone, finding the anomaly far more interesting than … Continue reading Threat detection and the many ways it can go wrong
It was painful
Dear President Trump, I listened to about the last half hour of your speech yesterday evening. It was painful. I actually yelled some things at you I promised not to include in these letters. Several times. The thick, thick horseshit you laid on about putting the people of America first was incredible. It was like … Continue reading It was painful
Shortcuts
Dear President Trump, In less than a week I’ve gotten two “Response to Your Message” emails from you. I get the autoreplies every day but have only received three of the “Response” messages over the last year so it’s odd to get two in one week. Someone must be getting bored with scanning incoming messages. … Continue reading Shortcuts
How is your spirit?
Dear President Trump, How is your spirit? This is what our pastor asks us most every Sunday and I’ve been wondering how you are doing the day before your big State of the Union address. Yesterday the first person to respond to the invitation to share told us about a homeless man she knows well … Continue reading How is your spirit?
“Stamping out prejudice” for real
Dear President Trump, I just found some quotes from your speech yesterday commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day. I think you did a nice job and I especially want to lift up that you talked about stamping out prejudice, condemning hatred, and bearing witness. You made some powerful, important points. I did notice though, that all … Continue reading “Stamping out prejudice” for real
We need you to stand up to bigotry
Dear President Trump, Have you ever seen the movie “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure”? If not, I highly recommend you take a break from Fox & Friends and watch it. You will probably resonate with the villain, Francis, who uncannily resembles you, and you will probably hate Pee Wee for his perky twee-ness. One of the … Continue reading We need you to stand up to bigotry
