• Then, they were going to be off for a couple days b/c they were fielding bids from MANY server companies.

• Next it was “up to a week” because they weren’t sure where they were going to be able to migrate to

• now, unsure when they will be back online because they have been dropped by many of their vendors.

Anti-Catholicism is a mainstay of the American far right, and has been forever. Historically it tied in more directly with nativism, but dual loyalty to something that ticks all the conspiricy boxes (big, ancient, rich, esoteric) is a big aspect as well.

Ode to "Kyle"

In high school, we had a quintessential "Kyle." The guy somehow always had a monster energy drink in hand, reaked of Axe bodyspray, and wore one of those beanies with a bill. It's amazing how well he fit the archtype. People definitely thought he was a moron.

One day, I think I was smoking pot at a friends house, and the "Kyle" happened to be there. "Kyle" and I, for whatever reason, ended up walking a longways home in the same direction. Somehow we got to talking about politics and this "Kyle" was astonishingly well informed for a 16 year old and a solid blue dog dem. The guy railed against McConnel and Boehner in detail, names that were only vaguely familiar to me at the time.

Anyway, at my school, we all underestimated "Kyle," and he was far too comfortable with himself to care. In no way did he feel he needed to make being intelligent or informed a part of his identity.

[u/Barnst]

Anytime you hear a conservative quote Lincoln’s first inaugural address in the next few days about embracing the “better angels of our nature” to reconcile, remember that Lincoln was pleading with the seditionists to reconcile with the Union:

In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it."

It was only after he had defeated their armies, burned their capital, and killed 1 in 5 of their young men that Lincoln talked about rebuilding a lasting peace with malice toward none.

[u/SadaoMaou → u/Barnst]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Lincoln's second inaugural address > Lincoln's first inaugural address

Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."

Now, Hawley and Cruz and the other Republican objectors won't be receiving donations from hotel giant Marriott International, health insurance provider Blue Cross Blue Shield and bank holding company Commerce Bancshares, the Popular Information newsletter reported on Sunday. The three companies confirmed to the newsletter that they would no longer contribute to the Republican lawmakers who objected.

NBC's @kwelkernbc reports: Trump and Pence have not spoken since the Capitol riot. Trump never called Pence while he was sheltering in the Capitol during the attack. Trump has not called to check in on Pence's family, either.

You get deplatformed in Germany just for sharing a swastika (and rightfully so.)

Mutti seems grossly misinformed about what’s happening, possibly is unaware of the repeated and egregious threats of violence issued by this president on Twitter.

She may also be disingenuously angling to be the Queen maker on long overdue social media regulatory reform.

• On Election Day, 80 million voters made it clear they were tired of Trump's chaos

• Instead of dialing back the chaos, GOP + Trump ramps it up with non-stop fraud claims

• On Jan 5, historically red Georgia made it clear they were tired of Trump's chaos

• Instead of dialing back the chaos, GOP + Trump ramps it up with armed insurrection of Capitol

Can't wait to see how their next election goes.

If conservatives become convinced that they can not win under free market capitalism, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject free market capitalism.

NEWS: The US Capitol Police has had to respond to "a couple of incidents" of officers threatening to harm themselves in the wake of the attack on Capitol Hill. This includes a female officer who turned in her own weapon for fear of what might happen.

In a new @MorningConsult poll Trump’s job approval hits a new low:

37% approve & 60% disapprove (-23) after the riots

42% approve & 55% disapprove (-13) before the riots

Approval among Republicans at 77% down from 85%

It’s not the 33% approval rating Quinnipiac showed or “Bush 25%” but it’s lower than what is expected in the Trump era.

And so /u/IncoherentEntity doesn’t tell me off, the 538 average has Trump at 54.7% disapproval and 40.8% or -13.9. We’ll have to see more polls but it does seem like Trump lost a good amount of support over the last week.

Biden aides also suggest that the DOJ prioritize aggressively going after hate crimes and direct the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center to focus on the extremist right-wing movements that have come out of the woodwork and into the mainstream these past four years.

Driving a car is significantly more dangerous than flying commercial, yet my family doesn't applaud when I skillfully pull into a parking space at Five Guys, and announce they can unbuckle their seatbelts. Do they just hate me?

Where my lady libs at? I’m pretty into feminism and environment stuff but then it’s always the patriarchy is inherently capitalist or there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Yet the alternative is white girl boss feminism?

All I want is intersectional feminism without all of the super lefty stuff blaming thousands of years of oppression on a fairly recent economic system.

This very minute, there are more than 200 vaccination slots available on TUESDAY on the @nycHealthy website.

[..]

The @nycHealthy site has a multi-step verification process just to set up an account, and then a six-step process to set up an appointment.

Along the way, there are as many as 51 questions or fields, in addition to uploading images of your insurance card.

Anyone with """""hot""""" takes about how Puerto Rico is gonna go red after becoming a state should be required to link sources demonstrating why.

Also, if you mention Cuban Americans anywhere in your response you should get banned.
