This week on the latest Lincoln Project podcast, national security and counter-terrorism expert Olivia Troye joins me to discuss working inside the Trump White House, what he’ll do if back in office, and a reminder that the only people MAGA hates more than you and me, is each other.
The Champion of the Evangelicals is a puzzling choice for the lovers of Jesus. Considering that the apostles warned against following false prophets. And considering that Trump's life and messages are exactly counter to the teachings of Jesus.
Matthew 7: "Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves."
Romans 16: "watch out for those who cause divisions...contrary to the doctrine you have been taught. Avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive."
Revelation 21: "as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, the sexually immoral, idolators, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake of fire, which is the second death."
The naive, good hearted Christians can't admit they've been suckered by a narcissist criminal conman. But they have been fooled before. See Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker and many others.
Reed, great discussion with Olivia Troye. She is an interesting and a special person in this fight. The discussion was a great reminder that it is hard to fight nicely or even speak nicely--for me anyway-- about these people that want power and money and don't have any scruples about obtaining that goal. Also, I think the point about guns was right on. Guns are everywhere, not just on the soulless right. This makes the situation scary. Words of caution to all concerning guns and where it might lead.
What time zone on Monday?
