1) In 1900, the expectation for white men was to live to age 47 and 12 percent of those born in 1900 would make it to age 65. A large contributing factor to increased life expectancy was the development of things such as vaccines and antibiotics. It boggles my mind that after
2) all those years of progress and belief in science that millions of people are refusing to believe in the efficacy of science based life saving vaccines such as the one developed for covid. I really never thought I'd live to see such ignorance and misinformation and denial of

1) Thru out Trump reign we feared for the major crisis that would arise that we KNEW HE WOULD BE INCAPABLE OF HANDLING COMPETENTLY. Had to wait till his final year to learn it wouldn't be nuclear war or another disastrous overseas military adventure but a 100 yr pandemic &
2) finally his attempted coup on Jan 6 . The rest of his admin was a corrupt incompetent mess carried about by grifters & 3rd rate appointees. Sometimes it takes a crisis for the truth to crystallize & @RepLizCheney has demonstrated her true patriotism vs the craven opportunism
3) of the vast majority of her caucus. She is the child innocently pointing out that the Emperor Has No Clothes. No wonder our world is in such a mess from myriad problems like climate change. Horrible unethical leadership. When will we demand better & public funded elections?
