Dear President Trump, It’s not quite 4pm and the sun has almost set here. We’ll probably have another 30 or so minutes of daylight (I’ll still be typing to you so I’ll let you know when it gets dusky-dark) at which time we’ll be about 4 and a half hours from the government shutting down. … Continue reading If it looks like treason and smells like treason….

The Troll King is protecting his investment
Dear President Trump, Did Rudy know ahead of time that the story about Russian propaganda trolls targeting Mueller was going to hit the next day? Was this what prompted him to make that excruciatingly stupid comment about your campaign’s collusion with Russia having happened before the election? Did he think that if he could somehow … Continue reading The Troll King is protecting his investment
Gasoline fumes and nuclear codes
Dear President Trump, Early the other morning I walked by a neighborhood gas station expecting it to be deserted. Instead there were three cars getting gas. I heard an engine running and smelled a lot of exhaust so I scanned the cars to make sure no one was heading towards me. Once I spotted the … Continue reading Gasoline fumes and nuclear codes
Rudy G: stupid, twisted, and/or hateful
Dear President Trump, Laura is back on Twitter after a long break from the mayhem and earlier today she came across this gem from your guy Rudy G during his appearance on George Stephanopoulos’s ABC show This Week: “Collusion is not a crime, it was over with before the election.” Truly, no could make this … Continue reading Rudy G: stupid, twisted, and/or hateful
The time horizon is grim to a lot of us
Dear President Trump, ~Heads up – I’ve got a lot to say today~ I’m afraid it’s going to take a lot more than a few folks scattering bits of joy to shift things in a better direction. I just finished reading this morning’s HP piece on the recent scary spike in teen suicide and it … Continue reading The time horizon is grim to a lot of us
Played, big time
Dear President Trump, Because I’m not yet sure what I think about your performance piece with Representative Pelosi and Senator Schumer (aka “Nancy and Chuck”) today, I’m going to write to you instead about something I’ve been mulling over for the last few days. There’s no way in hell this will be the conclusion the … Continue reading Played, big time
Painfully obvious stuff
Dear President Trump, Robby Mook has a strong Op Ed in the WP this morning. He lays out how it’s been clear from the get go that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. As Clinton’s campaign manager he appeared on numerous news shows right after the first DNC email dump and told the nation that … Continue reading Painfully obvious stuff
Saboteur in Chief
Dear President Trump, I feel a little bad about this, but until today I wasn’t paying attention to the plan to appoint your Fox News friend, Heather Nauret as the US ambassador to the United Nations. It was just so over the top absurd that my brain couldn’t get it to register as a real … Continue reading Saboteur in Chief
An apology is in order
Dear President Trump, Ok, I owe you an apology. Apparently it’s customary for current presidents to honor deceased presidents with federal holidays. It happened most recently in 2004 when GW Bush declared a holiday in honor of President Reagan, which I should’ve remembered since I was working at the VA then. It also happened in … Continue reading An apology is in order
A very pricey impromptu federal holiday
Dear President Trump, I don’t have the day off today since I’m considered an “essential” federal employee. Basically, the message at the VA has been that if employees are scheduled to see veterans today or are in direct clinical support roles they are expected to show up and do their jobs. No arbitrary cancellations will … Continue reading A very pricey impromptu federal holiday
