Dear President Trump, Dude, why don’t you just introduce a new Amendment to the Constitution allowing bigoted people to discriminate against anyone they want for whatever reason they choose to pull out of their asses? If you did it that way we could be done with this cynical, piecemeal game you all are playing with … Continue reading Handy targets

Something of a treatise on guns
Dear President Trump, Since the Parkland “March for Our Lives” students unveiled their A Peace Plan for a Safer America, NPR has run a bunch of stories about gun control They’ve provided dutifully “balanced” coverage with pretty much equal airtime afforded gun control advocates and opponents, which personally, feels about as sensible as giving climate … Continue reading Something of a treatise on guns
Ikat and impeachment
Dear President Trump, I may end up needing to scratch the non-political part of what I want to tell you about this morning to make room for any significant revelations from and/or responses to Mueller’s testimony today and that wouldn’t be a bad thing at all. Already, right out of the gate, Nadler got some … Continue reading Ikat and impeachment
Pseudo science and inflammatory lies about scientists
Dear President Trump, I just took an interesting tour through Google-land. It started because I wanted to go back to a headline I read on the Good News Network (“Complaining Can Literally Shrink Your Brain, Says Stanford Study”), but had passed over in part because I didn’t want it to be true and in part … Continue reading Pseudo science and inflammatory lies about scientists
A good-ish day for the US
Dear President Trump, Not such a great day for you and yours, was it? Between Acosta stepping down (voluntarily, my ass!) and you calling ‘Uncle’ on the census citizenship question, it was a banner day for the US, relatively speaking. I’m sure you piled on dozens more nefarious, crappy things today to undermine the environment, … Continue reading A good-ish day for the US
“Hail the Chief” please
Dear President Trump, It’s so interesting what one finds when one follows a thread. This one started when I was reading about the horrible storms that hit the DC area yesterday, seeing the pictures of cars floating away, roads and parks swamped, and people looking confused and frightened. I decided to check your daily schedule … Continue reading “Hail the Chief” please
Ramming ramparts, airports, and Article 25
Dear President Trump, It appears we both had very long nights last night. I know mine was long because I lived it. We were awake until well after 2am because that’s when the wildly illegal fireworks finally stopped and our poor dogs could settle down. The firework situation here was off the hook out of … Continue reading Ramming ramparts, airports, and Article 25
Gaslighting on steroids
Dear President Trump, Rick Atkinson has an Opinions Essay in the WP wherein he summarizes the expansionism and attendant overreach of the British Empire. He is clear that there are myriad differences between Britain’s rise and fall and rise and fall and our own situation, but cautions that the apple (that is America) didn’t fall … Continue reading Gaslighting on steroids
The dictator-magnet
Dear President Trump, You and Kim Jong Un have been doing some serious fawning over each other lately, touting your terrific relationship and how it’s bound to lead to wonderful things (or the more syllabically manageable “very good things” that you offered). Here are a couple of highlights I pulled out of the WP yesterday: … Continue reading The dictator-magnet
