Dear President Trump, I feel as though I’ve spent most of the day with you having gone through three more months of letters to you today (I’m up to July 1st) to give them titles for the blog I’m going to start soon-ish. I found someone who can help me set one up and she … Continue reading I feel as though I’ve spent most of the day with you
Engagement
Thank you
Dear President Trump, Yesterday I opted to use my character count to send you the text of the prayer I read aloud in church so I couldn’t tell you how it went. I’ll start by saying that as I’ve considered again the possibility of putting these letters out in the public forum, the 10/29 letter … Continue reading Thank you
I prefer typing directly to you in your space
Dear President Trump, Geez, what is with the new contact page set up? It's like you set it up yourself for small children who are just learning to write, which if it really were for children to write to you would be a nice thing, but it’s quite a poor set up for adults who … Continue reading I prefer typing directly to you in your space
How did we get here?
Dear President Trump, It is absolutely absurd we have to be thankful a racist, homophobic, lawless man who is facing highly credible accusations of child abuse narrowly lost a US Senate race. What the hell? How is this even possible? And now we have a national newspaper's editorial board saying our President isn't fit to … Continue reading How did we get here?
We don’t even have to squint hard today
Dear President Trump, I love, love, love seeing those twelve tiny left facing arrows on the WP's map of Alabama showing counties that flipped from Republican to Democrat! Those twelve little arrows signify there is hope we can turn this nightmare around and that the moral arc of the Universe is bending tangibly towards justice; … Continue reading We don’t even have to squint hard today
You are keeping the right people happy
Dear President Trump, I am certain the talking head people on Fox & Friends (which always makes me think of Fantastic Mr. Fox and his strange friends when I type it) and Breitbart have been solidly on point all along with the idea that you are doing exactly what your base wants you to do … Continue reading You are keeping the right people happy
Call us by our right names
(sent 11/14/17 due to power outage on the 13th) Dear President Trump, A couple of weeks ago our pastor's sermon focused on a young woman who came into her office off the street. She described how the woman was angry and prickly, how she seemed to want something she couldn't articulate. Our pastor asked her … Continue reading Call us by our right names
We can’t let up for a second
Dear President Trump, There's a lot of excitement and relief coming over the liberal airwaves after yesterday's victories for Democrats in Virginia and New Jersey. Predictably you came out all peevish, blaming the Virginia loser, Gillespie for not "embracing" you fully even though he duly aped all your divisive, hateful rhetoric. I don’t really understand … Continue reading We can’t let up for a second
A dangerous, dangerous dynamic
Dear President Trump, Apparently we are just two or three weeks away from Mueller having you and Mr. Pence in for questioning. If you don't fire him between now and then, that is. I've tried to imagine what that scenario would be like, you firing him, I mean, and it gives me such bad willies … Continue reading A dangerous, dangerous dynamic
‘people resist by telling their stories.’
Dear President Trump, Things aren't looking so good for you all and it’s clear you are up against a master tactician who you have virtually no chance of outwitting. While we wait for things to shape up with Mueller's investigation, I want to circle back to the Adam and Eve story because I left out … Continue reading ‘people resist by telling their stories.’
