He is such an ass. He has no idea how to behave. By the end of that the cardinal would not look at him. Would not even look in his direction.

I dislike right wing Catholics, and I dislike this mingling of politics and religion.

His bile is bubbling up all the time now, and it´s not pretty.

Speaking of not pretty, the picture of the two Presidential candidates sitting to either side of Dolan makes my skin crawl.

ETA: People´s headline:

Cardinal Timothy Dolan Reveals He Made Trump and Clinton Pray Together Before Charity Dinner

How lovely. /s

What the heck went wrong? He’s been working that shit out at the KKKomedy Barn down in Mississippi every Saturday going back a few months. It killed there.

Are there any genuinely funny GOP Comedians?

P.J. O’Rourke is hilarious in print, but his material just doesn’t work in live delivery (I’ve seen him on stage and heard him on NPR’s WWDTM!! and he’s just not funny.)

Whenever he says stuff about Hillary and you think, WTF? Where did that come from? It usually turns out to be projection. So does Trump hate Catholics?

Trump went into the joke having already received hearty boos from the upper-crust audience after, among other things, saying that Clinton was too “corrupt” to work on the Watergate commission.

Every damn thing HO talks about came off the internet. He’s the ultimate Breitbart candidate, running on Breitbard conspiracies.-

OT but lots of websites are coming up with can’t-access-server notices. Big DDOS attack this morning and this may be another. Concerning.

Yes I noticed that in both Slack as well as github. Says to me that there are attacks on actual backbone infrastructure as opposed to individual websites. But I’m far from an expert on the subject.

Agreed! Not on the “in print” point, I haven’t really read enough to know, but Bill Maher frequently has him on Real Time and he is not funny at all!

Dyn posted this update on its website: “Starting at 11:10 UTC on October 21th-Friday 2016 we began monitoring and mitigating a DDoS attack against our Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure. Some customers may experience increased DNS query latency and delayed zone propagation during this time. Updates will be posted as information becomes available.”
