+1 for IRC and related services. Back to basics. Kinda feels appropriate.

If the mods have any alternative infrastructure to spin up on the alternative sites, whatever they are, I hope they're on more or less hot standby.

I really, really hope so. Part of it may be from having the first good president in a long while, the other part may be from the backlash citizens and patriots suffer from the UniParty crowd then deciding they want their status quo back.

A lot of this seems to be around the topic of leadership vs followership (Trump and this site, respectively), and following some basic rules of common sense and unit cohesion (AKA trying to keep shit together and safe during stressful times). And making the decision to complete the mission you're currently on before officially taking on another one.

There's still a lot of info left to unpack and go over from today, and probably still some more to come. Mission's not over yet.

This reminds me a lot of the Hillary defense. -(side A) Raises concerns about questionable activity pointing to illegal use of email -(side B) "You have no proof, it's all unreasonable fearmongering"

<much time passes> -(side A) provides much more info validating previous concerns -(side B) (doesn't deny validity of new info) -(side B) "At this point, what difference does it make?"

May your passing be peaceful, and without pain. Finally get to put the burden down by the side of the road.

Can the info in the unrolled thread get dumped to pdf or otherwise preserved in case the archive page is taken down? Trying to get an offline copy to show to folks.

Mario Lemieux's statue in Pittsburgh was defaced, for no real reason, recently. I hope hockey manages to keep its sanity in these modern times. It's probably the only thing I'd watch, or listen to now.

Credit to the earlier posters...

'This is why we fight.' 'Why can't my son meet a nice girl like that.' And so on...love for country, traditional conservative women, American ideals.

A sobering reminder that it's things (ideals) like this that are really at stake here. Some of the soul of America, my country, is on the table in this fight.

Upvoted. Very glad I came to this site/made an account a few months ago. The effort continues. Long live this site.

From PA. Lived/worked in Houston for a couple of years. Buccees was authoritatively awesome.

Damn, that reminds me of getting last-minute fishing stuff from there and fishing weekends with old co-workers. Good times.

That stuffed dino kids toy is probably going to end up in a museum glass case eventually.
