Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley’s recent First Things essay, “Our Christian Nation,” may warm the hearts of Christian nationalists and confound historians and theologians who worry about continuing threats to the separation of church and state.

    You J6 hoaxers are hilarious. You keep calling it an insurrection - yet NO ONE has been charged with that. Also Trump was not connected criminally to any of the seditious conspiracy cases or defendants.

      You’re right, he wasn’t charged with insurrection. Among the four charges related to the January 6 events is conspiracy against rights, which is pretty much a stand-in for insurrection. His entire scheme to defraud US voters by setting up false slates of electors in swing states relied on Pence to halt the vote count and in so doing arrest the peaceful transfer of power. While people were breaking windows and dying, Trump, against the behest if multiple staff members refused to call in the national guard until the last minute. Why? Because he was on the phone the whole time trying to convince Pence to follow through with the scheme they had concocted. Fortunately Pence saw the light and understood the consequences. But thanks for your “akshually not charged with insurrection” profound perspective.

      Like the 9 Oathkeepers that were convicted of seditious conspiracy, which is defined in Title 18 as:

      If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both

        Still not an “insurrection”.

        Democrats love altering definitions to fit their warped reality. It’s propaganda 101.

          That is literally the definition of an insurrection, genius. That is what you get charged with when you’re a part of an insurrection. Treason is a completely different thing, if that’s what your brain cell is struggling to get out.

          Do you dress up in a uniform mommy gave you when play word police? Or is just like a mental thing?

        Is it though? Unlike Reddit, karma here has exactly zero value. They stand to gain nothing by making themselves out to be an idiot.

          You think karma matters to trolls? How long have you been around the internet?
