Dear President Trump, When I thought that you were just a poor president who was hell-bent on dismantling all the progress we've made over the last 60 years so that you and your friends could get back to the big business of robbing the poor to pay the rich it was much easier to write … Continue reading It’s hard to muster compassion for cheaters
You underestimated us
Dear President Trump, I imagine there is much gnashing of teeth going on at your house tonight. Personally, I am enjoying imagining the unclenching of teeth going on in a great many more houses tonight as it sinks in that we can relax for a few minutes knowing our health care isn't going to be … Continue reading You underestimated us
Terrorism or gun control – it should be an easy choice
Dear President Trump, I bet you are pretty disappointed that Khalid Masood was British born and not from one of the six countries still on your Muslim-ban wish-list. Yes, I am relieved that he was British born, though not surprised since it is far more likely that someone who was born in the EU or … Continue reading Terrorism or gun control – it should be an easy choice
Then there’s gerrymandering…..
Dear President Trump, I sure wish you would surprise me and do or say something I could get behind. I'm so tired of feeling dismayed and disgusted by you and your administration. At this point, though, even if you did come through with something positive, like allow US officials to attend the summit on human … Continue reading Then there’s gerrymandering…..
It won’t work to just impeach you and install Pence
Dear President Trump, Today seems like a good day to start with a blessing; May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May your life unfold and intersect peacefully. We've all known it was coming but having Director Comey definitively say that the FBI is investigating whether your campaign worked with … Continue reading It won’t work to just impeach you and install Pence
Your hypocrisy is a craven wonder
Dear President Trump, I'm guessing you are having a tough day today waging damage control efforts in response to the FBI/NSA congressional testimony. Must be tough hearing there were no wiretaps on you while there is an ongoing investigation of Russia's election tampering and an ongoing investigation into whether your campaign collaborated with Russia in … Continue reading Your hypocrisy is a craven wonder
Your karma needs all the help it can get
Dear President Trump, I think others have tried to explain how you use fake news to us before, but it wasn't until I was puzzling (again) over the apparently irrational and stupid claim that the British secret service was involved in wiretapping you that I finally understood what you are doing. Basically, no matter how … Continue reading Your karma needs all the help it can get
Some say hope is worst of all
Dear President Trump, It's been raining here in Seattle nearly constantly for weeks. It just keeps coming. Obviously we are used to rain and dealing with the wet hassle of it here in Western Washington, but the temptation to just hole up inside is enormous. At least for those of us who have dry, safe … Continue reading Some say hope is worst of all
Sometimes the only thing I can do is pray
Dear President Trump, It's pretty late in the day for me to be writing to you but it's been an especially rough 24 hours and frankly, I've spent most of the day either trying to avoid thinking about you or trying to find a constructive way to address you. You see, I set a rule … Continue reading Sometimes the only thing I can do is pray
Ordinary is inordinately confusing
Good morning President Trump, Just over 20 years ago when we drove home from the hospital without our son, I was ill and devastated, and struck by the ordinariness I was seeing. The sun was shining, traffic was moving, people were going about their business. The juxtaposition was confusing and felt insanely unfair and wrong. … Continue reading Ordinary is inordinately confusing
