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
Reality
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
The imperative of progress
Dear President Trump, I’ve told you before that I’m a magpie collecting pithy bits of other peoples’ wisdom. Sometimes I use them the same day and other times they get squirreled away for later use. Over the last month I’ve rounded up some great quotes and today I’m seeing that two of them fit nicely … Continue reading The imperative of progress
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.
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
Soul selling, GOP style
Dear President Trump, You must be feeling mighty good this morning looking forward to your rally tonight in Houston to stump for Ted Cruz. At the end of the football game Saturday they played James Brown’s “I Feel Good” super loud and all morning it’s been stuck in my head because I think it probably … Continue reading Soul selling, GOP style
Surreal disconnect
Dear President Trump, It’s been two months today since our brother-in-law (BIL) died but it feels like we were just in the ICU with him a few days ago, hoping he could go quickly because he was in so much pain. I still feel unsettled and generally exhausted, though I’m not sure how much causal … Continue reading Surreal disconnect
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
Why are you so willing to alienate even more women?
Dear President Trump, Who do you have watching the polls? Have you told whoever it is that you want the unvarnished truth about what those polls are saying? And if so, when they tell you the truth, are you taking it in or are you blasting the messenger? The poll I’m thinking about was reported … Continue reading Why are you so willing to alienate even more women?
