Re: the graphic here, a reader notes: Honestly, I don’t know how anyone employed by Fox News sleeps at night. They have done more to divide and hurt this country than any other entity in the past 30 years.

While Fox News is, indeed, a bastardly organization, my understanding is that it has abandoned the Big Lie; it was forced to because of the $787 million defamation judgment following the lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems.

In any case, it’s clear that the momentum is turning against Trump. His cult following is dwindling, as more people figure out that he’s simply a sociopathic conman.

After a few months of watching Trump getting raked over the coals in his criminal trials, all this will become even more obvious.

Does this guy have a solid point?

Is war a bad thing? What about rape and torture?

Do they point to weaknesses that must be strengthened?

Maybe the protestors are less concerned about length of time in office, and more with criminal authoritarianism.

I have such respect for Pascal that I considered naming our son after him. (My wife wasn’t having it. Maybe if we lived in France?)

Pascal made important contributions to both math and physics but he’s perhaps best known for his philosophic “wager,” that it makes sense to believe in God, since if He exists, you’ll be very glad you did, and if He doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything. I counter that this is not how we accept or reject religious tenets.
