There would be no point in bringing back DI unless Naveed (aka Skinner, aka Mr. David Moskwa) gets rid of the jury alert system.
The alert swarms were bad enough before the election.

Although it would be nice to see a number of Hillary suckophants being force fed a truckload of crow. :-)

He was a long time DUmmy, got banned for being even too weird for them, I don't remember the offense, it doesn't take much.

I always figured the guy was brain damaged or retarded in some way.

At this point it looks to me like DI won't be coming back. We're three weeks out and DU has been fully restored for quite some time now.

I think if it did come back that many of the lefties would not be back after being so overconfident about Hillary trouncing Trump. There would be a whole ton of crow to eat which many of them wouldn't be up for. So I think in the end it would end up being a right-leaning site. I'm make no claims of being a mindreader but I think that may be Skin's reasoning for not bringing it back.

Probably not, and it would be a shame,  but they're not quite right there at DU yet. I tried a function that would require membership and read "At this time new member accounts cannot be created. Please check back in a few days."

Me, too.  Alas, I think it's vaporized. 

I'm glad some of you folks migrated this way.  I wish more would.  There were some good ones.

I had a good time there.  I actually want to find out if Graham made it past the 9th or if he is swinging from a RR bridge over a river somewhere.  I hope he cashed all those checks he must have gotten to spout all that Clinton
gibberish that he did.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

I still hold out hope. Skinner needs cash and every ad click pays a little something. DI was really hopping there for a bit.

I think it is still in a coma.

Sadly, it looks like DI is Kaputsville.

How ironic is it that you and I were actually discussing what should be done with the chronically mentally ill in this country the very moment both DU & DI were taken offline by Skins?

Oh well..

With DU fully up I can see no reason for DI not to also be up, save that the owners don't want it up. That's a damn shame, as it was a great venue for people with varied  political views to discuss their differences...

 :usflag:

Yeah - but their Democrats.. they like discussing differences when they are in power, and ultimately, their team has the final say. After this election, that's all gone, save for some state and local pols. So, all DI is going to do is give DUmmies bad feelings. Skins can't have that..

32. It'll come back eventually.  But we need to deal with DU first.

I swear grahamcrackers is a deep cover troll.  Really a hard core conservative.  No way anyone could be that far in the tank for Obama and Hillary.  I was just waiting for him to come out after the election.

That case can certainly be made.  It is hard to imagine a sentient being being that ridiculous, but there is a preponderance of real-world evidence that that type of organism does indeed exist and in depressingly large numbers.  Look at the infants they are pumping out of the indoctrination centers?  California?

Just breathtaking stupidity.

I think it's just that that level of sheer obtuseness is difficult for us to imagine.

I do have to say that he was committed.  Weather he is committed now and under 24 hour observation is another question

   The video does have Murdoch-chan written all over it but so does this one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9B7EsenfFE

   The meme-warriors on our side(the enemy doesn't have decent memes because they don't have much capacity for satire or irony) were denied our end-zone dance on the fields of DI and DU and that was because Skimmer is a coward.  He hacked himself.  He is probably spraying swastikas on the side of his house and calling for the press right now.  Screw him.

    Berners like myself were only looking for an outsider who was honest and when Bernie got cheated it made me rethink why I was even a dem since they hate people like me(white,male) so much.  Then Trump started wooing us by pointing out Bernie was right on trade but that he didn't have the stones or the know-how to get er done and that a God-Emperor could.    Already TPP is in flames and Ford, Carrier and even Apple are changing their tunes. 

    What a great time to be alive. Feels good man.

 That video was floating around before the "hack". ForeSkinner could have pulled it off the shelf and used it to give the "hack" some cred.
