I know your pain, I know you're hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now, we have to have peace. d go home in peace.
We have to have law and order, we have to respect our great...people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt.

It’s a very tough period of time. There’s never been a time like this, where such a thing happened, where they could take it away from all of us, from me, from you, from our country.

This was a fraudulent election. But we can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home, we love you, you’re very special.
(cont)
You’ve seen what happens, you see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel. But go home, and go home in peace.

It's easy enough to know what will happen tomorrow: Congress will count the votes, Trump will blame Pence, protests will be violent.
But the last four years should teach us that when the cable news blabbers say what's going to happen by 2024 or 2030, they're full of crap.
It's reasonable to expect GOP will remain Trump's party for two years, it's reasonable to think Dems with two branches of government will piss a lot of people off, fight about Pelosi's ennui, and fail to pass meaningful legislation. But beyond that, this is anybody's ballgame.
I’m a big believer in the power of inertia.
The reason I’m skeptical the GOP will formally split into two parties is because of how much effort it would require. Instead I think there will be an internal power battle, and then politicians will offer fealty to whoever wins.
Prominent Chicago priest Fr. Michael Pfleger is accused of committing more than 40 years ago an act of child sexual abuse. He will not be in ministry at St. Sabine, the south side parish where he has long been pastor, while the allegation is investigated.
Pfleger is well-known for community activism in Chicago's South Side, and has campaigned against gun violence, racism.
He is also no stranger to controversy, and has had a somewhat up-and-down relationship with fellow Chicagoan Barack Obama.
He also had several public and difficult incidents with his long-time bishop, Cardinal Francis George, including a 2011 suspension that came after Pfleger was slated to be reassigned.
I wonder if the @IrishTimes will release the transcript of this interview.
Either Dublin’s next Archbishop is being misunderstood, or there are some real issues here. irishtimes.com/news/social-af…
But if the @IrishTimes doesn’t release the transcript, this interview, interpreted through the lens a reporter with questionable expertise in the subject matter, can’t really be taken seriously.
Rest assured though that both and left will find ways to exploit it for the clicks, without anyone calling attention to the subpar act of journalism it is in the first place.
Bishops who spent two afternoons discussing McCarrick Report, systemic racism in the U.S., and pandemic are being criticized for... for prioritizing abortion over those things after saying for two minutes that a Catholic president who supports abortion poses challenges?
It's not that I'm surprised, it's just that I'm always incredulous.
But don't worry! The bishops are also being criticized by the very same people who have been calling for them to say something like this, since, after all, they didn't say it on the timetable demanded by the twitterati.
