More on Evangelical Presbyterianism (and Presbyterianism in general). Please note, Second Presbyterian Church here in Kansas City one of *the* *most* progressive and activist congregations in the city. But that's *not* what EPC is about ... at all.

In case you're wondering, "well what sort of christianity would our federal government be practicing with my tax dollars if Josh Hawley had his way?"
He reportedly attended the Crossing Church in Columbia, MO (an Evangelical Presbyterian Church) in 2018 ( per www.againstchristianxenophobia.com )

Maybe because for all his BS about being an Alpha Male, he's more follower than leader. But TBF, the velocity of MAGA nonsense is high enough to challenge the fastest of Joshie Come Lastlies. (gift link)

As I mentioned, Hawley's likely opponent this November is Lucas Kunce, who has been endorsed by VoteVets.

I would like to see a large thing made of this.
MO Senator #JoshHawley has publicly announced his commitment to Christian Nationalism. As in:
"[S]ome will say that I am advocating Christian Nationalism. And so I do."
His likely opponent in the November election is Lucas Kunce.

As a federally mandated "Judeo-Christian" "Sabbath," I guess it starts Friday night at sundown in Quoddy Head State Park in Maine and ends at midnight Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time. And *all* labor will be prohibited. Won't this be nice? Or does "Judeo" have a special meaning here? (Bet it does!)

Where I'm at: Ultimately, we won't decide this here. It's healthy that, as a political community, as opposed to a personality cult, we can and do have conversations like this. It's heartbreaking to witness the effects of aging in people we care about, knowing it doesn't get better. It gets worse.

Another (too rare) good result at home, won hard, tonight. Early 2-goal lead, then tied, random officiating throughout, spectacular saves, late goal, a silly red card, but a happy 3 points at the end. 🎊

Actually, I've never met a lying, narcissistic rapist that gleefully stokes resentment toward perennially-scapegoated minorities in order to capture absolute power to destroy the environment, disempower the working class, and instate white theocratic rule in place of popular governance alley cat.

They grew tired of arguing over the meaning of words. They've moved on to imagined "context" and "history," where disagreements are settled without reference to anything beyond: Well, in my opinion .... And that's the only opinion that matters.

It kind of reminds me of the "quoted" text on old movie posters: "'MUST SEE ... NEXT GREAT AMERICAN FILM!' -- L.R. Boat" Actual review by L.R. Boat: "definitely not a movie you must see now, or ever. We're still waiting for the next great American film."

... and the hacking, and the bots, and the troll farms (with the targeted fB posts). When you look at what they got for their investment in him, yeah, it's chump change to them. When you look at what Trump got in exchange for selling us out, he quite literally made out like a bandit.

Exactly. And not just accountability to voters in general. Also Accountability to his cult. Nothing is ever sharply defined or definitively embraced. Only He, the exalted one, the god king, can say what anything means today. "Did I say that yesterday? Here is what that means now!"

It's a kind of dual messaging. If his apologists are challenged on it, they can say, "He didn't literally say [batshit crazy nazi racist thing]. It only sounded like he said [batshit crazy nazi racist thing]." Meanwhile, the cult members nod, chuckle, elbow each other and say, "we heard ya, dude!"
