RIP

I think the pastor has a right to speak his mind. Does he have that right from the pulpit? As long as the congregation puts up with it. This pastor however IMHO effectively proved himself to be un-Christian. Both in stating his direction to his flock and his inability to recognize his failure as a Christian after. He is the exact type of person that is too typical in all religions. In short the man is either not a true Christian or has gone astray. Certainly not someone to listen too.

To be clear, I do not consider myself religious at all. I have done an amateur's bit of study on religions and religious history. While the message of Christ was something I wish people would listen to the religion that followed is all about power of man over fellow man. You can find fine pastors and priests who are and act as Christians. Knowing a few personally, I think they are more the exception than the rule though.

The letter itself is more about taking care of their team. I am leaning toward it may be more likely, they can provide IT side infrastructure that will drive the delivery logistics. Shipment and delivery side - maybe... This is due to the special shipment methods required for the vaccines - especially Phizer's and they fact that Amazon is still not UPS although they are building their infrastructure.

We don't have a right to carry. That is determined by local laws.

The love of guns is everywhere in this country. Even in California and NY. I dare say it is the obsession with guns and the second amendment.

Truly draining the swamp and quickly - THANK GOD>

To me, it does not look like DDOS-Guard is providing the hosting service for Parler, just some front-end security services.

You are probably correct however that means they have access to all traffic.

Good question. How can a pardon be secret? It shouldn't be permitted. Would FOIA Requests turn them up?

I don't disagree he needs to go away but a coward he is not. He also isn't ridiculous Q head. He is manipulative, nasty and evil. He is deplorable. He is a part of the problem with the right that allowed the stupidity the rose to the level of insurrection. He had goals and many if not most of those were achieved under Trump. He pinched his nose until the rotting carcass wasn't useful anymore. Now he will want to undo the damage Trump did to the Right and stop any sort of insurrection (I don't think he wants the US to fail just force his twisted agenda on it).

I would happily see him hung by his sack in public and beat like a pinata.

Just let me know when this nightmare is over.

Meant to flag that funny - A RR in Alabama...

(If my use of any of the qualifiers goes against handi-capable etiquette, please accept my apologies.)

Frankly sad we have come to this.

Sooo Mom and Dad were divorced and Daughter took an interest in far right boards and accompanied Dad to the insurrection where Daughter then committed some pretty serious felonies. I think we know why mom divorced Dad...

Yes, since Trump lifted the moratorium.

All this makes me leery of small towns... And I grew up in small towns.

I'm not actually sure he can yank it. It would certainly lead to court cases to find out if he actually has the power... That pipeline should have been dropped a long time ago by the company.

I have been in crushes at big concerts back in the day - I was a metal head when I was young and dumb. Always general admittance and with a group - had to be as near to that stage as possible... I helped pick up a few small women out of the crowd to hand to the security line. I remember this one girl - couldn't have been 5'2" and maybe 100 pounds getting just crushed into my back by the crowd. I looked back and she had a dazed look then her eyes kind of rolled. I thought she was a goner but once me and another guy I was with managed to get her lifted up (not easy as she was out) she came around pretty quick and we sent her over the fence to security.

Watching that crowd in action in DC was far worse than those arena crowds. That crowd was aiming to crust the police line and were organizing surges. I am surprised more people didn't die - especially watching video and seeing the photos of people getting trampled.

Yes she was.

Better vet those Marines first. The Corp has a real problem with white supremacists.

But who is checking the FBI? And more importantly the SS? I honestly believe the swearing in should be in the House Chamber with a very limited audience and trusted security.

That still sounds like it is something worth reporting.

We may very well break 400k deaths today - it not tomorrow for sure.

Wisconsin did for the recount. Michigan does as well. I think most states do unless the race is within a very tiny differential.

Well my understanding is there are people from other countries coming to Florida for the Vaccine anyhow so what's the difference here?

It is not just SpaceX and NASA either but competition is certainly a good thing. Different ideas and designs. The thing that scares me is capitalism being involved.
