Trump’s Support Eroding
A reader comments: (Liz Cheney) hated Trump before ever sitting on the committee, that’s why Pelosi appointed her. Unfortunately, there are 75 million who know Trump took this country in a better direction, regardless of her feelings about him.
I have no data to support or refute your claim about Cheney’s position going in.
In any case, it appears that your “75 million” figure has been significantly reduced since the 2020 election and Trump’s (criminal) reaction to it. It’s clear to the vast majority of Americans that Trump tried, vigorously and illegally, to overturn the results of the election.
We’ve seen it; we don’t like it, at all.
Here’s a 
Here’s another good statement on science and the limits of our understanding.
FWIW, I don’t believe the content of the meme here at all. I think there are certain lies we’re stuck with, if only because “the history books are written by the victors.”
Based on our current trajectory, my guess is that Trump will be held accountable for his attempt to overthrow the U.S. government, and will be regarded by history accordingly.
Most people don’t realize how far wrong this could have gone. America’s reputation on the world stage was temporarily dashed to pieces, but it will return intact. Our handling of the pandemic was butchered, but most of us will recover. Racial tension has risen to a level not seen in the last 100 years, but it will subside. A coup was attempted, but it failed, and it appears that those responsible are being held accountable.
The photo here (that I altered) reminds me of the Earth Day celebration in Santa Barbara a few years ago. As a band had just finished up and was leaving the stage, the lead singer took the mic and said, “Thanks for comin’ out, everyone. Happy Earth Day. Hope you’re having a good time, and, of course, f*** Trump!”
Robert Reich notes: Today the House voted to reinstate the federal assault weapons ban that lapsed nearly 20 years ago. Think of all the countless lives that could have been saved had the ban stayed in place. Democrats in the Senate must work around the filibuster and get this bill to the President’s desk, and soon.
My response to the reader who sent me the meme here: You need to stick with subject matter that doesn’t involve math or science. The average price of electricity in the U.S. is $0.11/kWh. The range of an EV with a 100-kWh battery is about 400 miles, or $0.0275per mile, just under 3 cents.
When you think about it, the meme here makes the exact opposite point it’s intended to. In all four cases, business created and marketed a product, only to have science come along and study it, determine it was dangerous, and submit its finding leading to a ban being imposed on it.
