Dear President Trump, Happy Veteran’s Day. You’ve had a rough go of it the last few days in terms of showing up to honor military people’s contributions but maybe you pulled something out of somewhere today to atone for your weekend lameness. I didn’t bother checking because I’m sick of reading about you (and honestly, … Continue reading Hear her, hear her

Let’s shine light in those dark crooked corners of yours
Dear President Trump, Are you on your way back to D.C. all snug and dry in your warm, cozy Air Force 1 recliner? You’ve made it clear that you love your creature comforts, but it’s incredible that they are more important than showing up to honor the US and Allied Forces’ war dead. Can you … Continue reading Let’s shine light in those dark crooked corners of yours
Putting off a necessary reckoning
Dear President Trump, It’s only been three days since the election, but you’ve busted out of the gates in true Trump-style. You’ve sacked Sessions, illegally installed a right-wingnut ass-licker in his place, pulled Acosta’s hard press pass and threatened to pull more, attempted to meddle in Florida’s elections, and acted like a total bratty bully. … Continue reading Putting off a necessary reckoning
Nice work, Mr. President
Dear President Trump, We don’t hear from Robert Samuelson all that often, but he has an excellent opinion piece in the WP claiming that we’ve all lost the midterm elections. He correctly points out that the real looming issues we need to attend to, including the budget deficit, immigration, and global warming, were all pushed … Continue reading Nice work, Mr. President
Fears of being checked and balanced
Dear President Trump, I just figured out that I accidentally skipped writing out October 31st when I was dating that day’s letter to you and wrote November 1st instead, which means I wished you a happy Transgender Awareness Month a day early. Sorry about that. I didn’t miss writing to you, though, so that’s good. … Continue reading Fears of being checked and balanced
Nothing is beneath you. Nothing.
Dear President Trump, Jennifer Rubin (WP) seems to think you’ve made the final pitch in your quest to maximally stoke racial animus and xenophobia before the mid-terms next week with your disgusting ad claiming the Democrats are responsible for Luis Bracamontes, a twice-deported illegal immigrant, having killed two police officers. Unfortunately, I think she’s underestimating … Continue reading Nothing is beneath you. Nothing.
Worn down but still voting
Dear President Trump, Even my most solidly stolid friends can barely muster a lame “ok” when I ask how they are these days. We are heading into the dark season here, but we are used to that so it’s clearly something more that has most of us looking lost and exhausted. Sometimes people will erupt … Continue reading Worn down but still voting
A tiny weight on the side of goodness
Dear President Trump, Just before I learned about the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh this morning I read in either the WP or the HP how even with a suspect in custody who clearly supports you, there were still people on the far right yesterday claiming the Democrats or Jews … Continue reading A tiny weight on the side of goodness
Your sick playbook
Dear President Trump, I wonder if the bookies in Vegas are taking bets on when you’ll slip and say something supportive of the alleged-mail-bomber, Cesar Sayoc. If so, do they have it calibrated to the nearest day, hour, minute? It’s really just a matter of time before you put your foot squarely in it and … Continue reading Your sick playbook
Presidential, my ass
Dear President Trump, Who got stuck with trying to convince you that you couldn’t give your usual performance at the Wisconsin rally last night, that you couldn’t incite violence or dredge up the usual spiky crowd pleasers? Did they make you wear a remote controlled electric shocker so they could give you a jolt if … Continue reading Presidential, my ass
