I will be disappoint if this does not make it across Colbert’s radar and soon…

His book on Bonhoefer, while lauded by some, has attracted much criticism.
From that link:
Eric Metaxas, a court evangelical and Christian radio host who recently made a very flawed “Christian case for Trump” at the Wall Street Journal op-ed page, has written a biography of Bonhoeffer that has been much celebrated in the conservative evangelical community. It has also been panned by scholars who have devoted their lives to the study of Bonhoeffer, including the members of the International Bonhoeffer Society. But that hasn’t stopped Metaxas from claiming that he, and he alone, has written the only truly accurate portrayal of the German pastor who opposed Hitler.
Here is what he tweeted in response to a Sojourners article discussing the aforementioned statement from the International Bonhoeffer Society:
The culturally marxist academics who hijacked Bonhoeffer’s legacy for fifty years — until the 2009 publication of my biography — and who unconscionably pushed a profound misreading of his thinking & theology, are at it again. Feel free to guffaw.
Even people who should know better can find themselves invoking Godwin’s law.

Don’t know much about Bonhoeffer, but I can say this: To equate the deaths of a group of people for something they have no control over (Jewish people, homosexuals) to people who choose to believe a false narrative and follow a clearly awful person like Tr**p to the point of killing people is just stupid and evil.

Perhaps not coincidentally, this image was posted by one of my aunts to facebook. 
I was intrigued enough to conduct a reverse image lookup.

I mean… what? No, it’s utter nonsense. He did a whole movie about the death penalty and a catholic nun, FFS.

There is so much stupid in this article.
Trump offered Kim “a ride home” in Air Force One. Think about that. If Air Force One landed in Pyongyang it would never be allowed to leave. Trump would currently be living as Kim’s human footstool like Valerian.
If Kim had accepted this offer, Trump would have gone to any length to find a pilot stupidly patriotic enough to make this happen.

It’s a military aircraft, so I doubt that would have happened?

That is a lovable and bonkers premise that turns into The Last King of Scotland way too soon.

TRO = Temporary Restraining Order. Shorter version: “Judge, please accept our argument and put the entire Federal Government of the United States on notice that you, personally, are in charge of the country instead of them”.
