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
Lying
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
POTUS fantasy cruises
Dear President Trump, Yesterday Mikhail Gorbachev said “Not the work of a great mind” in response to your stated plan to do away with the nuclear arms treaty we’ve had with Russia since 1987. I think this about sums things up. We could recycle this handy phrase and use it to characterize most everything you … Continue reading POTUS fantasy cruises
Moral abyss
Dear President Trump, Lately I’ve been worrying that I’m saying the same things over and over to you and that your correspondence vetting team is getting bored with me. You are doing such a good job of sticking with what works for you (and what troubles, saddens, frightens, and disgusts me) that I’ve needed to … Continue reading Moral abyss
News flash: The ends don’t justify the means
Dear President Trump, I wonder if Leslie Stahl needed to take a shower after her ‘60 Minutes’ interview with you. My bet is she needed some a way to get your ick off her; if she couldn’t take a shower, maybe she managed a sage smudge. I generally avoid exposing myself to tape of you … Continue reading News flash: The ends don’t justify the means
May we not allow you to divide us into enemy factions
Dear President Trump, Our little dog Buddy routinely gets confused when confronted with his own reflection, whether in a mirror or in a window at night. He’ll catch sight of himself and the image will startle him, he’ll do a double take and start kicking his back feet and barking. No amount of reassurance that … Continue reading May we not allow you to divide us into enemy factions
Having it every which way
Dear President Trump, I’ve been thinking about the disclosure of Dr. Ford’s identity and trying to make sense of the timing of everything. A case could be made, and has been made vociferously, that Feinstein and the Democrats withheld the letter and Dr. Ford’s identity until after Brett’s formal hearings were over to make a … Continue reading Having it every which way
When you go low
Dear President Trump, Surely I’ve asked you this before, but how much of what you say do you actually believe? We know you tell multiple falsehoods a day, but it’s still not clear how much of what you say you’re saying to consciously manipulate your base and how much of what you say you’d tell … Continue reading When you go low
No question who’s on top of the heap
Dear President Trump, All my life I’ve had trouble with people’s names and when someone has a last name that is traditionally a first name, things get even worse for me. This is especially true when the person is male since most last names are male-based and thus boys or men can end up with … Continue reading No question who’s on top of the heap
Hell to pay
Dear President Trump, Yesterday our VA facility’s Military Sexual Trauma (MST) Coordinator emailed out a really nice self-care handout for us to share with veterans who are feeling stressed and triggered by what is going on in the national news. The handout was created at the national level to make sure that our veterans with … Continue reading Hell to pay
