Your Ass-Sets a Low Bar
If we hear you play the piano,
you are a pianist.
If you show us the carrots and onions you grew,
you are a gardener.
If you hand us a copy of your signed novel,
you are an author.
If you are pulling 10 oz padded gloves on your hands,
you are a boxer.
If you are covered in flour and hand us a loaf of warm bread,
you are a baker.
But if you have to tell us that you are a “genius” and that your “two greatest assets have been mentally stability and being, like, really smart,”
then I, for one, feel brilliant for not believing you.

Am I really thanking Trump?
No, but …
We The People had been far too complacent. Most Republicans and Democrats thought he would never win. He did. Snuck right under our noses like a not-so-quiet thief in the night. Then, when we rose, said, “what happened to all our shit?”
Trump has unknowingly forced us to take a hard look at ourselves and, in doing so, we have awoken to reconfirm our beliefs and our rights (or lack there-of).
Now, dialogues are reopened. Millions of people are speaking up, and out, to the masses. We are no longer complacently thinking that things are okay. They are not. And, for the most part, they were. Ten days ago we did not have executive orders that divided us with the rest of the world, executive orders that remain questionable in their constitutional authority.
Yesterday, the DNC tweeted: We want to know what YOU want the future of our party to look like and what you want from our next Chair. Tell us:
Well, they got an ear-full! Here’s one:

Yes, Trump has inadvertently brought us together. Did you see the marchers on January 21st? The women, men and children of all backgrounds including the Black Lives Matter and LBGT community who came together as ONE? Did you see the protesters at JFK airport and learned how it led to a stay in Trump’s order to keep immigrants away? I am SO proud of you!!
“We The People, of the United States, in Order to form a perfect Union,” have returned to our moral code and now remember how to march, how to protest, how to voice our frustrations and concerns.
Am I happy he is president? Hell, no. But I’m glad he has, in no accord of his own, made us remember what is important.

Dear Russia,(note to self, omit “dear”)
I have your number in more ways than one. The tour company gave us this card before entry into your country in case of an emergency. I kept it, taped it to my Mac, the one you will probably hack.
Although my husband and I had to be caged during our tour of Moscow a year ago last summer (not allowed to roam around on our own without the Russian guide, who by the way, was more informative about you than you would have liked), we tasted some nice vodka.
But Russia and President Putin? Don’t puff up just yet.
Many buildings, except for some like this one —
were beautiful.
President Putin, below on the far left, was that you? Trying to mix in and identify with your peeps? Doubtful.
I said, was that you?
I think it was very kind of you, Russia and Mr. Putin, to post these signs of caution.
WATCH YOUR BELONGINGS, your sign said.
Well, I want to tell you this.
Watch your own damn belongings. Keep your paws off my country, out of our democracy, out of our politics and our elections.
Perhaps the Trump is your string puppet.
But I’m telling you this: Most of us Americans have VERY sharp scissors.
Oh, if you don’t hear from me again, I’m under Federal protection. I’ve heard the accommodations aren’t that bad, considering.
