Don’t believe guys who have built their platform on stochastic poasting.
Trump is a consummate poaster. These guys are just running cover.

The racism is galling. No filters. Totally should be censured (among the hundreds of other things that make him disqualified).
And not to downplay that, but this headline makes it sound like he was on a one time social media bender. But he poasts like a madman every single day.

Judging from Andrew Torba's timeline, I don't think his gender necessarily makes him more capable of handling toxic social media well lol
Also the fact that he compared social media to the "gladiator arena" tells you everything you need to know about how baked into poaster culture these guys are

Mike been reading Carl Schmitt?
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

Well well wouldn’t you know. He posted a longer response.
I’d argue the exegetical approach here is pretty flawed, but he *does* give a more thoughtful attempt than simply tossing Acts 17 out there (though he does do that too)

I wish, wish, wish that Christians would go further than simply saying “borders are biblical,“ or tacking on Acts 17 as a prooftext.
This is actually one of those areas that American Christians would benefit from having a real, robust, theology of nation rather than just mimicking the party line.

Just got to drop a [sic] in an draft journal article on Christian nationalism.

While I do deplore the arrest of Don Lemon, et.al., there is certainly irony in them being prosecuted under the FACE Act. Liberals were just fine with the harsh penalties and anti-First Amendment aspects of the FACE Act so long as it was being used in the way they preferred - to target anti-abortion

What if we are already in a dystopian world, but the anarcho-tyrants aren't driving jerry-rigged hot rods across the desert, but corrupt men in tailored suits raking in billions while the poor suffer?

I don’t think the MPLS church disrupters should be valorized.
Assuming an ICE field dir. serves as a pastor, the church should be held accountable.
But the disruption was a pretty stupid thing to do.
Also not thrilled about the arrests. But what they did ≠ what journalists & rapid responders do.

Certain people in power keep saying we’re the hottest country in the world.
