In this episode we look at the attempt to impeach former President Trump a second time.  Our Scripture text to guide our thinking (and all thinking must be informed by the principles of Scripture, after all) is the commandment to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.  More than that, we look more carefully at the background of the commandment from Leviticus 19 and how we're instructed not to slander our neighbor, lie about him/her, and to deal frankly (rationally) with them, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.  This isn't a suggestion, by the way, but the commandment of the Lord and the context through which we're to understand loving our neighbor.  

To that end, we conclude that Donald Trump is a victim of a slanderous lie.  He told people at his speech on January 6 to go "peacefully", but this very pertinent fact is being omitted by most news coverage.  He is allowed to disagree with the election results.  Democrats did for four years over the alleged Russian collusion.  It's everyone's right to disagree and to speak freely.  He never incited violence in his speech as is evidenced by his words.  But the press is suppressing this.  In all, we can disagree with him or anyone, but we must not lie about them.  We must give them - even a politician we don't like - the same benefit of the doubt we'd like if we were in their shoes.  To do otherwise is against God's command.
