Dear President Trump Sunday we took the dogs to the Union Bay Natural Area on Lake Washington. About a quarter mile into the walk one of our dogs apparently got too close to a swallow’s nest because suddenly two swallows came at me, screaming and darting around my head. I was furthest away from where … Continue reading Swallows, roosters, and “Darth Becky”
Lying
Odious, despicable, hateful
Dear President Trump, I’m struggling today. I’m at a loss as to how to respond to what you are doing to people, to our country, to the world. This isn’t a new experience, by any means, but the Supreme Court’s decision upholding your Muslim travel ban in the wake of our country separating children from … Continue reading Odious, despicable, hateful
“Why are you lying about it, sir?”
Dear President Trump, What happens now? Are you going to start detaining entire families in cages? Although that would be marginally better than sending parents and children to separate cages hundreds of miles away from each other, it is still a sick, cowardly approach to the humanitarian crises asylum seekers and immigrants from Mexico and … Continue reading “Why are you lying about it, sir?”
Nothing better happen to Feinberg
Dear President Trump, You have some messed up ideas about strength. Your statement that strength necessarily means one doesn’t have a heart is absolutely nuts. It’s like you’re living inside a primitive comic book where strength is expressed only within a “might is right” framework. I realize you have to keep saying how strong you … Continue reading Nothing better happen to Feinberg
This is not about “the rule of law”
Dear President Trump, I jaywalked today when I took the dogs for their walk and a car was moving pretty fast so I needed to hustle across the street to get out of the way. It occurred to me that the driver might not slow down, might go ahead and hit us, and then might … Continue reading This is not about “the rule of law”
Facts matter
Dear President Trump, If sending these letters to you were contingent on anything, today would be a skip day for me. I’m just wrung out and so thoroughly disgusted with you and your administration I’d really rather spit nails at you then write you. But this letter writing practice is not contingent on anything, not … Continue reading Facts matter
Feigned fit of pique
Dear President Trump, Yesterday Macron said to you “Let’s be serious and worthy of our people.” I don’t think you heard him. Really, I don’t think you are capable of hearing him let alone heeding those words. I actually do think you are serious though, I think you’ve been exceedingly serious and strategic about achieving … Continue reading Feigned fit of pique
GOP spine: MIA
Dear President Trump, I see Melania is slated to attend a Gold Star event today so that will put to rest the furor over her whereabouts, if not her wellbeing. It’s still very odd she was out of the public eye for so long and that she’s not traveling to Singapore with you, but I … Continue reading GOP spine: MIA
Whatever doesn’t kill us, doesn’t kill us
Dear President Trump, Still no sign of Melania. Can you even imagine how up in arms you and the GOP would be if Hillary Clinton had been in office 500 days and instead of Melania not having been seen for over three weeks, it was Bill Clinton? You all would be accusing Hillary of having … Continue reading Whatever doesn’t kill us, doesn’t kill us
Heartsick
Dear President Trump, Yesterday when I sent your letter I hadn’t seen the Tweet from Melania’s phone. It sure sounds cobbled together from canned phrases from your insanely voluminous Twitter feed, but it also sounds too coherent to have been sent by you. Did you dictate to her and she cleaned it up? Did you … Continue reading Heartsick
