Most Say Trump Won't Be Gracious About November Loss
The charts above reflect the results of the CNN / SSRS Poll -- done between January 25th and 30th of a nationwide sample of 1,212 adults, with a 3.4 point margin of error.
Does Facebook Even Care About Its Users?
Today, I tried to go to my account, but was unable to do so. First, they said they didn't recognize my password. Then I tried to change the password, but was unable to do so. They sent me an 8-digit code to verify, but then didn't recognize the code they sent me.
I wound up in a loop of repeated non-recognization of password and verification code, but never got to my page.
Normally, at this point I would call or chat with someone at the company. But it turns out that Facebook doesn't have a customer service number, or a chat page.
So, I was unable to access my account, or get any help from the company. And I was also unable to create a new account (trying that sent me back to the verification loop that didn't work).
It looks like I am no longer a Facebook user. Not because I wanted that, but because Facebook doesn't care about its Users!

About 30% Would Be Happy With Christian Nationalism
The charts above are from a Pew Research Center survey -- done between March 9th and December 7th of 2023. They surveyed 22,465 adults, and the survey had a margin of error of 0.82 points.
Supreme Court Puts Trump Back On The Ballot
The Supreme Court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court decision that had removed Donald Trump from the primary ballot in that state. The Colorado court had ruled that Trump committed insurrection, and therefore could not run for office.
This is not a surprise. The only surprise was that it was a 9 to 0 decision, with the 3 liberal justices agreeing with the six right-wingers on the court. The court rules that a single state could not disqualify a candidate for national office. They went on to say there would be "disruption and chaos" id a candidate was barred in some states but not in others.
The court cowardly dodged the real question -- whether Trump committed insurrection and should be constitutionally barred from office. Even if the Colorado court did not have the authority to decide that, the U.S. Supreme Court did have that authority. But they did not have the courage.
I hope they will show more judicial courage in deciding whether Trump has immunity from prosecution, but I am not expecting it. They will probably dodge that question also, and make only a limited ruling.
This is the most pitiful excuse for a Supreme Court this nation has had since the awful Dred Scott decision a century and a half ago.
