Pastors, congregations, confessions—all elements of religion today. And a new Justice Department court filing. The DOJ announced Thursday it has charged a Florida pastor and his minister son in connection with the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. According to the criminal complaint, James Cusick, the father, and Casey Cusick, the son, were each charged with illegal entry in a federal building, disorderly conduct, and violent behavior at the Capitol. The pair’s involvement was disclosed to the FBI by David Lesperance, a congregant of their church who was also at the Capitol and later interviewed by the feds. Authorities also found body-cam and CCTV footage depicting the Cusicks inside the Capitol at the time of the riot.

The father and son are the pastor and vice president, respectively, of Global Outreach Church in Melbourne, Florida. There is no word on whether divine intervention prompted the two to storm the Capitol.

23. Maybe instead of being a fervent believers in the 2nd amendment, they should be following

the 2nd Commandment.

The Second Commandment reads:

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Instead of idolizing a golden calf, they are idolizing a golden bloated bovine.

24. I found pictures of these two at the church website.

They look so nice and friendly and squeaky clean, don't they?

I have a very low opinion of all of these insurrectionists (and MAGAts in general), but the sub-sub-sub-basement level is reserved for "religious" MAGAts who do horrible things in support of the REAL object of their worship (i.e., a certain Mango hued monster who is doing his best to destroy this country).

It just kills me that people who believe in an actual, walking, talking Satan can fail to see the satanic (in a metaphorical sense) qualties of TFG.

25. Good. Lock Their Sorry Asses Up

And throw away the f’in key.

27. Does it really matter once the "no real punishment" precedent has been set?

It seems judges are letting them all off with a slap on the wrist, if that.
