Dear President Trump, You probably know something about the quest to find easy ways to look better; it seems to be one of the things that binds us Americans together. Well, the other week we got a toothpaste kit promising whiter teeth. Our toothpaste kit came with two tubes of product; a "deep cleanser" you … Continue reading Super American
Distractions and Shell Games
What if only birds tweeted?
Dear President Trump, I bet you are at it again as far as saying outrageous things in the hopes we will be pulled to the over-the-top obnoxious, shiny bits you've tossed out and won't notice that you are doing something sleazy and sly somewhere else. I hope whatever it is you are up to isn't … Continue reading What if only birds tweeted?
What if we didn’t take the bait?
Dear President Trump, How do you do it? It's like you blow magic fairy dust in people's faces whenever you talk or tweet. Some of us find the dust supremely irritating and distressing while others can't get enough of it. Even when you are behaving really poorly, like mocking your opponents, blatantly contradicting yourself, or … Continue reading What if we didn’t take the bait?
What if the Emperor’s naked ass had been called out today?
Dear President Trump, I think most of us are feeling pretty cozy and righteous these days living in our own little echo chambers. Sounds like you all took this to new heights today with your round robin of who can out-kudo the rest of the pack in lavishing praise and props on you after you … Continue reading What if the Emperor’s naked ass had been called out today?
I can’t keep up aggrieved crisis mode all day every day
Dear President Trump, I think you all should change the choice in the "Message Type" selection box for sending you messages since it's really not the case when people use this portal and click "Contact the President" that we are actually contacting you. At best we are lobbing words in your general direction and really, … Continue reading I can’t keep up aggrieved crisis mode all day every day
We are on to you two
Dear President Trump, I'm relieved other people with much more visibility than I'll ever have are asking out loud why you made such a dramatic turn-around in bombing Syria and whether it was motivated by a desire to put distance between your White House and Russia. I was feeling worried yesterday morning when most of … Continue reading We are on to you two
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 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
No handouts
Good Morning President Trump, Over the past 20 or so years I've puzzled over the consistent pattern of people seeming to vote in ways that undermine their own interests, and honestly, that puzzlement was never stronger than in the last 6 months following your election. I have always known that people do things for reasons, … Continue reading No handouts
Address real, not invented, problems
Dear President Trump, Did Dr. Carson just pull the short straw and had to be the first cabinet member to say something really insanely stupid publicly to provide you some shielding? Who's up next? It may or may not really be all that calculated (not being one for conspiracy theories, myself), but gosh, it sure … Continue reading Address real, not invented, problems
