Cabin fever and the flu slowed down my missives to our national and
state Errors, and it seems that every time I write, I’m just repeating myself,
so it’s not calming my angst as well as it was; but it’s gotta be done. We can’t
stop speaking truth.
The only person I’ve heard back from so far is Senator Shaheen, and it
was just a form letter, as expected. Interesting that no one else has managed
to get their shit together yet!
Letter 1
5 February 2017
Dear so-called President Trump,
You’ve got a real problem with the rule of law, don’cha,
Bubba? Got a real problem keeping your mouth shut, too, we see. Don’t know when
to keep your ignorant opinions to yourself, and haven’t learned to carry
yourself with presidential dignity yet, either, have you? Those were rhetorical
questions – that means, I don’t expect an answer, I was just stating the
obvious – you’ve demonstrated over and over that they’re true.
We applaud Judge Robart, and we applaud the folks who
brought the request to halt your dangerous and illegal order, and once again,
we say to you: Boo! Hiss! Boo! Stop endangering our nation, and stop doing
stupid things out of ignorance and hubris.
Why do you want to destroy us? Every day you put us in grave peril. Bad,
bad, bad boy! Dangerous boy!
Speaking of which: Don’t
worry about you insulting and hanging up on our good ally, Australia? Don’t
worry? How can we not worry!?
Are you totally stoned all the time? Only an idiot or a total stoner or someone
determined to self-destruct or destroy our country would do the things you’ve
done in the past 16 days. What is wrong
with you? Please look up the words “compromise” and “co-operate” and try to
play nice with others, before you piss everyone off so badly no one will even
speak to you. No one takes you seriously already, except that we all think
you’re seriously dangerous and playing way out of your league with absolutely
no idea what you’re doing and incompetent advisors.
And re: your Supreme Court nominee: piss off. You could have
done something good, here. You could have actually made an attempt to do the
truly ethical thing, the thing that should
have been done by a president actually interested in uniting the country, the
thing that should have been done by a
president wishing to put an end to the traitorous acts and obstructionism that
the Republicans in Congress have been committing for the past 8 years.
You
could have, and should have, put forth Judge Garland for consideration and
refused to offer another candidate until he’d received fair and full
consideration. This Court opening is not yours to fill – it was Obama’s, who
had a mandate and who made a real attempt to put forward a compromise candidate
that no one could be seriously unhappy with. Instead, you, with NO MANDATE,
stand on the unethical and treasonous acts of the Republicans and put forth a
candidate whose ultra-conservative stands
piss off and seriously alarm more than half the country. I hope this turns around to bite you in the
ass: I hope the Republicans screw you.
Someone needs to muzzle you. For god’s sake, shut up and put
away the twitter account before you do something irreparable.

Trump the Lumpy Chump, our so-called President,
Don’t rewrite your anti-immigrant order, you prat; it was a
bad idea the first time, and there’s no way you can improve on it. We, the
majority of US citizens, who didn’t vote for you – let’s just note once again
that all told, you not only lost to Hilary by 3 million (perfectly legal)
votes, but 9 million more people voted for anyone else but you – we don’t want
anything to do with your xenophobic fantasies.
You also owe a profound
and immediate apology to the citizens of New Hampshire, who stand up now
and call you a lying git and spit upon you. There are no illegal voters in NH,
and there has never been any proof of illegal voting, except for one sad
lunatic who purposely committed voter fraud to try to prove a non-point several
election cycles ago, and our excellent State folks have carefully and fully
looked into it. It’s a non-issue. Get your lies and your lumpy nose out of our
state. If you’re relying on what the lying, cheating twit Chris Sununu said
about voter fraud, give it up now. He was lying – seems to be a congenital
ailment in his family - and if he has any balls at all, he’ll stand up now and
admit it.
Ethics issues still got you down? Has it occurred to you
that you should keep your trap shut and your nose out of your family’s business
when you’re supposedly trying to be presidential? No President of the US with
any sense of ethics and propriety would be commenting on his daughter’s
business failures, and certainly not saying disparaging things about the
company she’s just lost business with. Dignity; unimpeachable ethics; common
sense – those are a few of the things we want in our President, not a
loud-mouthed narcissistic yammering. If you’d shut up for a few minutes and ask
people who actually know something, and toss those racist untutored trolls
you’ve surrounded yourself with out on their ears, you might manage to actually
do something presidential. Stop embarrassing yourself – and us.
We aren’t holding our breaths. So far all you’ve done is embarrass us, nationally and internationally,
and cause lots and lots of trouble. We are not happy with you. You are damaging
families and individuals, disrupting and destroying lives, separating parents
from their children, and encouraging acts of evil and destruction. The US doesn’t do that – only xenophobic
cowards do. Oh – that’s you! And those wankers you’ve surrounded yourself with.
Trolls. Demons. Dangerously irresponsible.
You’ve heard that people are fleeing the States on foot to get
to Canada, where the politicians and laws are humane and reasonable, right? How
do you like being the man in the US who makes our country look that evil? How
do you like being the author of racist violence? How do you like scaring little
children and destroying their lives?
And speaking of lying, narcissism, xenophobia, racism,
bigotry, egotism, sexual predation, sociopathology, and all your other personal
challenges – you know there are people called “psychiatrists” who would be
happy to give you meds for those issues, so you can manage your illness, and
maybe then actually perform your responsibilities as President in a reasonable
way, right?
Yeah, and nice job losing battles, Bubba. You’re fooling no
one but yourself.
Finally, just a note that you’re looking exceptionally lumpy
lately. Must be that all hot air and self-aggrandizement you’ve been
swallowing. You’re looking pretty used. Diet time! No time to lose, best go on
a starvation diet. We’ll let you know when it’s been long enough.
Or – you could do the right thing and resign. Now.
We are two Witnesses.

Dear Gov. Sununu,
Donald Trump is a total prat, and so are you if you don’t
stand up and admit that you made up that stuff about the Democratic Party
sending busloads of illegal voters over the border from Massachusetts, when
things are slow down there, to vote in NH. We all know you said it because you
thought it would gain you some votes from people who are too ignorant to check,
or too angry to care, what the truth is.
It worked, you won, you’re the governor. Time to mitigate
the sins you committed during the election cycle and start to take your
responsibilities seriously. A big part of that is extricating yourself from the
rottenness that infused the past elections and become an active force to return
decency and reason to politics. So pull up your big-boy pants and announce that
you are no longer the lying, cheating git we have seen you are. Admit you lied,
denounce Trump’s lies about illegal voters, and don’t do it again. If the only
way you can win is by lying and cheating and screwing the people who didn’t
vote for you, you don’t deserve the office, and you didn’t really win it, did
you?
Prove us wrong. Surprise us. Show some balls. Distance
yourself from the madman who stumbled into the presidency and play fairly, and
honestly, and bipartisanly with New Hampshire residents - or expect to be
tossed out with the garbage first chance we get.
We don’t need liars and cheaters in government, national or
state. We’re watching, and so far we’re not impressed.
We are Witnesses.

Dear not very presidential Trump the Lump,
For about 3 hours today, we were without power; the wind
blew some wires down, and, voila! – you disappeared. For 3 blissful hours, not
a word to be heard about naft you.
Then the electricity came on again. Immediate nausea, and it
wasn’t a recurrence of the flu I had all last week, unfortunately.
So – what do we do with this? We hate you – we, the majority
of people in the country, hate you.
You’re the most hated President in history, and you’ve only been in office for
barely over a month. You’re hated more every time you open your mouth, every
time you say or do or sign something that’s against the best interests of the
entire country, not including your greedy, rich, racist cronies.
What do we do next time we go to Canada? We couldn’t explain
you last fall, before you stole the election with the help of your nasty
Russian promoters. People would come up and say, hey there neighbor, what’s
going on down there? It doesn’t make any sense! Is it about money? It must be
about money!
And we’d look embarrassed, but then we’d say, oh, it’s
crazy, but he surely won’t win.
Of course, back then we didn’t know you had outside
help. How do you say, “Let me fix things
for you, Trumpy-boo” in Russian? Da,
komrade, please.
Now what do we say to confused Canadians, besides that you
aren’t our president? That we, and everyone else in the country
with uncorrupted souls repudiate you and are just waiting until we can find
enough evidence to impeach you? That the
whole of the States were stolen by a bunch of lying, cheating, trolls hell-bent
on destroying our country and too many of us were too stupid to notice – and some
still are?
It’s going to make for very awkward conversations.
Get rid of Bannon, immediately. He’s pure evil and it’s hard
to believe that even you are too stupid to notice. He wants to destroy the
country and is working hard at doing so. How do you like being a pawn?
Dump him, then resign, now. It’s the only hope we have
that the country might survive.
Still waiting to see those tax returns of yours! Still
haven’t lost interest!
We are two Witnesses.

Donald Trump, you maggot,
Don’t imagine for a second that our not having written our
protestations about your dodgy administration for the last several weeks means
anything except that depression and cabin fever has struck.
So here we go:
Stop,
for God’s sake, wasting our time and money persecuting Muslims. Your ban on
Muslim states is wrong, illegal, evil, and vile. You’ve been slapped upside the
head twice now by the courts – give it up! The definition of insanity is doing
the same thing over and over expecting to get a different result. The
definition of evil is what you’re doing.
Obama
wire-tapped you?? Are you totally barmy? Do you really think we’re going to
believe that? Go ahead, repeat it – we’ll just add it to the list of things
you’ve done and said that will make you impeachable. You nutter.
Let’s
see…how many of your appointees have so far been good choices….ummmm…..Oh!
None! A nice round number, 0. Let’s say it again: 0. Which is more than the
score we’ve been giving you for your insight and leadership and intelligence.
You’re in over your head, Bubba, resign now and save the country the expense of
impeaching you.
That
racist idiot who’s your chief strategist: there’s a reason Saturday Night Live
depicts him as Death. There’s not a chance in Hell that you’ll do anything praiseworthy
until you see him in his true form and boot him out. Do it now.
The
attempt to dump the ACA – which we like, in spite of what you say – is evil.
The proposed plan will leave millions without insurance who have it now. The
proposed plan will dump the country back in the health-care dark ages, where we
were before the ACA. The proposed plan will make some of your rich buddies
richer, and the rest of us poorer and sicker, and don’t imagine we don’t
understand that. May you rot in one of the lower circles of Hell for supporting
this assault on the common citizen.
Your
Russian buddies – oh, we can’t wait until that whole story is told. You really
sunk into that swamp, and don’t expect we’re going to help you out.
Where
are those tax returns of yours, by the way? You lying, cheating tosser.
You
know what? Just stop doing everything. Nothing you’ve done or said is worthy of
the office of the President. Nothing you’ve done or said is honorable. Nothing
you’ve done or said is good for the common citizen. Nothing. So just stop. You
can’t redeem yourself at this point.
We’re
sick of you. You make us nauseous, every time we hear something you’ve blathered on about. Every time we hear one of
your not-very-clever lies. You’re an international embarrassment. You’re
dangerous to the democracy. You’re stupid enough to be an abydocomist. You
suck. Resign now, so someone can try to fix the horrible messes you’ve made so
far. Sickening, sad man. Go back to diddling yourself in your tacky real estate
horrors.
“Hell
is empty, And all the devils are here.”
“Hell
is empty, And all the devils are here.”
“Hell
is empty, And all the devils are here.”
“Hell
is empty, And all the devils are here.”
“Hell
is empty, And all the devils are here.”
“Hell
is empty, And all the devils are here.”
“Hell
is empty, And all the devils are here.”
“Hell
is empty, And all the devils are here.”
Shakespeare predicted you and your ghastly administration. (The Tempest, 1:2)
Resign now. Please. We’ll applaud.

16 March 2017
Gov. Sununu –
So entertained to hear you say you don’t support the
Republican attempt to destroy the ACA and with it, the ability of millions of
Americans – including ourselves – to have health insurance for nearly the first
time in our adult lives. Not sure you actually get how destructive their plan
would be, except to Medicaid, but at least you got there – hold onto that
thought. I enclose an article from my blog to help you get a deeper
understanding. Why don’t you read it and see what you learn?
So, that’s a semi-plus for you. Now let’s look at where you
screwed up recently:
1.
What in hell were you thinking not being loudly
and actively involved in trashing that stupid law that allows 13-year-olds to
get married? Do you really think marrying off a 13-year-old is a
good idea? Or even a 17-year-old? You wanker – this should have had your
vigorous support. Bad, bad governor.
2.
What in hell were you thinking not being loudly
and actively involved in getting legislation protecting transgender rights
passed? What dark corner of the dark ages did you come from? Just what we need
– NH known to be non-supporters of transgender rights, which you should know need to be especially
supported because there are so many violent, benighted people out there just
looking for a reason to be evil. Bad, bad governor.
3.
What in hell were you thinking not pressing
acceptance of a law to bring NH’s minimum wage law into the modern age? Doesn’t
matter the federal minimum wage law is evilly low – now NH has the reputation
of having the lowest minimum wage in New England, and proving again (see #1 and
#2 above) that we’re parsimonious and benighted. Way to attract young folks to the state, you
plonker. Bad, bad governor.
4.
Your Education Dept head – oh, jeez. What in hell
were you thinking? Bad, bad governor.
5.
Trying to get a pass on regulations to protect
water in NH because they’d be expensive? How expensive do you think polluted
water and the horrors it can cause will be? Way to make NH attractive to modern
people, who actually want to protect the environment and live in clean,
toxin-free places. Nutter. Bad, bad governor.
OK Buddy, that’s 5 against and a partial 1 for – not a good
score so far. Step out of your daddy’s evil shoes and try standing up straight
and standing for something that’s productive, good for the state, good for the
people in the state. I can remember listening to your daddy lying about sources
of pollution on the radio, years ago, then shaming a caller who called him on
it. That was a bad day for NH, and made me ashamed to be from here.
Prove us wrong. So far – not doing it. So far – really
unimpressed.

Dear Senators Shaheen and Hassan, Representatives
Shea-Porter and Kuster,
Enclosed are copies of our latest vile missives to our even
viler barely-elected error in national judgement, and the blog post I sent him
about the ACA.
Ladies – our national situation is very, very scary. The
majority of Republicans in Congress are using the chaos Trump causes and
stupidity around what’s being done and said to sneakily do things that will
harm us indefinitely. Trump and his Russian buddies are beyond the pale. The
ghoul who advises and strategizes for Trump sends chills of horror up our
spines. Our brains, listening to the news, feel like they’re going to explode.
Ladies – you’re on the front line. Please be strong, please
be vigorous, please counter this Error of a President on all counts. We haven’t
heard a single thing he’s proposed or done that hasn’t horrified us. Please don’t
bend your principles in order to “work with him when you can,” because it
doesn’t look like there’s anyplace you should be working with him or the evil
Republicans. Remember that this – this situation we’re currently in as a nation
– isn’t normal. Don’t co-operate with the abnormal. Everything is so abnormal
it may get harder to distinguish and remember that as time goes on. (And what’s
going on in our state is also pretty
mind-boggling.)
You’re doing a good job, please keep it up. Don’t get
discouraged, we depend on you for, in a real way, our life, liberty and
well-being. Every time we listen to the news, this impresses us anew.
And speaking of the news, could one of you manage to smack
Paul Ryan upside the head someday soon? He is such a wanker. And so very annoying! Tell him it’s a St. Paddie’s
Day love tap. Use a shillelagh.
Jeanne – Charley asked me to mention, the next time I wrote,
to remind you that you and he have met several times. He’s the long-haired
photographer who used to take promo photos of you when you were Governor. And
he’d like me to say, also, that he wishes you’d run for President. I agree.
Our best hopes and support to you all. Impeach the bastard.
We are Witnesses.
On the blog and in the mail.
