Hello Dear Readers, Below is my last letter to President Trump, which means that I will no longer be adding to this blog. You can find me at my new address ~ https://thebidenletters.com/ ~ where I will be posting letters to President Biden more days than not (though not every day!). Thank you to everyone … Continue reading Clumping cat litter

Weaponizing the scaffolding
Donald, Thanks to Mitch McConnell you have five more days, or a little over 120 hours, left in office. It should bring some measure of comfort that the time left is so minimal, but honestly, it really doesn’t. I’m picturing a graph where the time countdown is plotted against the desperation ramp up, the former … Continue reading Weaponizing the scaffolding
America minus two…. Vladimir plus two….
Donald, Racking up two impeachments is obviously not something most of us would want on our resumes and so I suppose you aren’t in a very good mood tonight. So sad. But you know who probably is in a very, very good mood today? Your old buddy Vladimir – I bet he’s tickled pink by … Continue reading America minus two…. Vladimir plus two….
There’s always room for a modicum of doubt and that’s enough if you want it to be
Donald, Kate Woodsome (WP) put our current situation well when she said: “Fact-checking delusion is not effective when the president is promoting conspiracy theories” in her piece describing the terrifying day at the Capitol she and her camera person endured last Wednesday. Honestly though, fact-checking delusions is never a winning proposition whether the guy with … Continue reading There’s always room for a modicum of doubt and that’s enough if you want it to be
There are no guarantees
Donald, Ten more days. Much as I’d like to be wrong, I’m not optimistic that Pelosi and Schumer are going to be able to get you out of office early. I am, however, glad they’re working on it in earnest and that a historic second set of Articles of Impeachment will be launched tomorrow. Nothing … Continue reading There are no guarantees
We likely haven’t seen the half of it yet
Donald, I know this risks seeming trite and as though I’m re-tracing already well established lines, but I’m guessing that like me, when you were a young child you were taught to respect and even revere policemen (they were virtually all men then) and firemen (ditto re the gender deal). You were probably encouraged to … Continue reading We likely haven’t seen the half of it yet
Our hearts were broken into even smaller pieces today
Donald, What to say? I don’t know. The in our faces events of the day have been scrutinized and parsed every which way from Sunday and there are still countless declarations swirling about the necessity for more scrutiny and parsing about how it was that the mob breached the Capitol, how it was that we … Continue reading Our hearts were broken into even smaller pieces today
Over-reliance on oracles
To: The Supreme Gaslighter About a third of the way into my walk this morning I realized I’d forgotten my phone at home (I got out of practice with my morning routine over the holidays). I’m chagrined to admit that I only realized this when I wondered whether the weather arbiter that lives inside my … Continue reading Over-reliance on oracles
POTUS and his father complex
To: The Loser Boy Whose Father Hated Losers So you’ve been able to cobble together an even dirty dozen GOPP* Senators to do your bidding on Wednesday – so far, anyway. Are there others you all are working on? Others you’ve got juicy tidbits of dirt to blackmail them with or maybe super juicy carrots … Continue reading POTUS and his father complex
2021 ~ a new year with old problems
To: The One Who’s Being Shown The Door In 19 Short Days Hey, so I was right – I barely hesitated at all just now when I was writing out today’s date: January 1, 2021. Very cool. And very not all that meaningful, really. There’s so much hype about how we’re closing the door on … Continue reading 2021 ~ a new year with old problems
