Jim Bakker, otherwise known as half of disgraced ’80s televangelist power couple Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker (remember the extreme eyelashes?) — has spent the past decade and a half quietly rebuilding his empire after serving nearly five years of a 45-year prison sentence (for fraud and conspiracy-related charges) from 1989 to 1994.



This is totally separate from the drugging and rape allegations from actress/secretary Jessica Hahn which had previously derailed his career in 1987.

Currently, it should come as very little surprise that the “reformed” Bakker is back at his crazy lies, now as a staunch supporter of Donald Trump and spewing dangerous rhetoric.

In a sermon recently flagged by Right Wing Watch, Bakker told his followers that if Trump doesn’t get reelected in 2020, that “leaders of the gospel and the political conservative leaders” are going to be murdered.
By who?

I’m guessing AOC and the other women in Congress who Trump supporters chant “send them back” at rallies about? The “deep state?” I’m sure Hillary Clinton is involved somehow as well. Who knows with these nutcases.

In a preface to his remarks, Bakker claimed that Trump was elected against all odds because “God’s people voted, and the world knows it, the enemies of the gospel know it.”

“I’m going to say something I probably shouldn’t say,” he continued, which is about the only part of his diatribe most people would actually agree with.

“What’s coming next, if we keep losing, you’re going to see the leaders of the church and the leaders of the gospel and the political conservative leaders that are powerful, you are going to see them suddenly die, suddenly killed. Suddenly as they were driving, suddenly as they were in a boat, suddenly in an airplane … You’re going to see it one after another.

1. How sad for them...

... I hear Hell is not fun...

[mr_lebowski]

2. I won't be crying if JB 'suddenly dies', on his private plane, private yacht, wherever

After MF45 loses in 2020.

NOT encouraging anyone to cause that to happen, mind you.

Just, if he HAPPENS to 'suddenly die' ... you know ... fine by me.

Everybody's gotta go sometime ...

Bye Jim

6. Tammy Faye was a decent person

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammy_Faye_Messner#1997%E2%80%932007:_Later_life_and_illness

1997–2007: Later life and illness
In July 2007, on more solid financial footing, the Messners relocated to Loch Lloyd, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City. Jim Bakker had relocated his operations to Branson, Missouri, in 2003. Tammy Faye told Entertainment Tonight they had moved to the "dream house" to be closer to Roe's children and grandchildren from his first marriage. The children still live in the Wichita area.

As her second husband was jailed and she was first diagnosed with colon cancer, she re-entered the public eye in a series of books, movies and television appearances.

She was the subject of a documentary titled The Eyes of Tammy Faye (1999), which was narrated by RuPaul,[8] and a follow-up film titled Tammy Faye: Death Defying (2004).

She appeared twice on The Drew Carey Show in 1996 and 1999, playing the mother of character Mimi Bobeck (Kathy Kinney), who was also known for wearing excessive amounts of makeup. On September 11, 2003, she published a new autobiography, I Will Survive... and You Will, Too!, in which she described her battles with cancer and her life with Messner.

Despite her background in Christian fundamentalism, Tammy Faye became a gay icon after her parting from PTL, appearing in Gay Pride marches with such figures as Lady Bunny and Bruce Vilanch. Unlike many American Christian fundamentalists she "had long refused to denounce homosexuals" and also expressed compassion towards, and urged support for Americans with HIV/AIDS when it was still a much feared and unknown disease. In the 1980s she interviewed an AIDS patient on her program, "making an impassioned plea to Christians to love and accept their gay brethren." She was benevolently referred to as "the ultimate drag queen," and said in her last interview with Larry King that, "When I went — when we lost everything, it was the gay people that came to my rescue, and I will always love them for that."

In early 2004 she appeared on the second season of the VH1 reality television series The Surreal Life. The show chronicled a twelve-day period wherein she, Ron Jeremy, Vanilla Ice, Traci Bingham, Erik Estrada, and Trishelle Cannatella lived together in a Los Angeles house and were assigned various tasks and activities.[27]

Together, the six put on a children's play and managed a restaurant for a day. She also attended a book signing for her best-seller, I Will Survive... And You Will Too.

At the end of the show, Messner said she thought of Vanilla Ice and Trishelle Cannatella as children and could relate to them deeply because she had similar feelings and problems when she was their age.

Jim, on the other hand, remains a scumbag.

[Demovictory9]

12. maybe in her later years, but she was part of the money grabbing scheme that made them rich

[rockfordfile]

7. How is that guy not in jail?

[Demovictory9]

10. he was.. for 5 years

[VMA131Marine]

18. Or 11 percent of his sentence.

Surely he is still on parole?

[randr]

8. The entire human race may die

if he is reelectrd

[aeromanKC]

31. Projection. It's always Projection with with these guys.

Or of course they just live perpetually in Opposite Day land.

[pwb]

9. His flock must be tens of people .

Fake religion pusher.

[Butterflylady]

11. Promises, promises, promises.

[safeinOhio]

14. One after another is going to die....

from lighting strikes.

[Generic Other]

16. The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways...

[cp]

17. He's still alive?

[Demovictory9]

33. yep. he's only 79. They were young when they ran their scam

[Midnight Writer]

19. A couple of my co-workers sent their retirement savings to Jim and Tammy Faye.

He was supposedly building a resort/retirement community for Christians, and they bought in big time.

[Demovictory9]

34. they did build the big theme park Heritage USA

[Falcata]

59. I actually went to Heritage 4 or 5 times

in the 80's for the Christmas lights. They were awesome to be honest. I knew Jim and Tammy were scumbags but the gf's family loved them. Luckily her parents were too poor to feed the beast. There is a guy on the tube now always asking for seed money to make sure God rewards you. It always reminds me of Jesus throwing the moneychangers out of the temple or saying it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of needle than a rich man to enter heaven. I guess the shysters make sure to forget this while trying to fleece the flock.

[VMA131Marine]

20. So what does his flock consist of?

Sheeple!

[Vinca]

21. Ha! Another good reason to get out the vote.

[UTUSN]

22. So, uh... he's doing *MOTIVATIONAL* speaking now?!1

[NoPasaran]

58. I know what he motivates me to do

[lpbk2713]

23. The man with the plan.

I knew if he tried hard enough he could eventually come up with a good idea.

[Brainfodder]

24. You think they can't go LOWER.... and....

JB says hold my beer(s)!

[struggle4progress]

25. "So be sure to stock your pantry with my apocalypse-survival rations!"

[Turbineguy]

26. OK.

For some that might be an extra incentive......

Not for me.

Of course.

Well, not very much anyway.

[UniteFightBack]

27. Look at him throwing meat to the left....what a way to turn out the Dem vote. nt

[NCjack]

39. Makes me want to vote multiple times in multiple congressional districts. nt

[thegoose]

28. I don't see the downside...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. Why is this a problem?

[Downtown Hound]

30. here's hopin'.

[brewens]

32. A friend of mine thinks this is a great GOTV move for democrats! :) n/t

[emmaverybo]

36. Great minds think alike. Didn't see yours, I can envision placards, banners, tv ads....

[emmaverybo]

35. Is he trying to GOTV for Dems?

[spanone]

37. he's back on teevee doing the same con.

he must have great admiration for the grifter-in-chief

[packman]

38. I always try to catch part of his show

I love how he hawks his air conditioners, power packs, survival food, etc., etc. in between promoting a book. The guy is pure scum and circus barker. He also seems a bit desperate in his appeals for money and gives the hint his "ministry" - laff out loud - is in need of money.

He recently had a guest speaker who tried to prove that Trump was God's choice and he had seven proofs. The first one was that Trump is sooooo rich that he could join exclusive clubs where the decision makers were - and that would benefit all Americans.
At that point, I switched channels.

[Submariner]

56. I have to admit it's one of my guilty pleasures too

Couple of times a month I'll DVR an episode, and I always seem to catch a very special guest with a pipeline to God, and how Trump is God's choice for any number of reasons that would cause DU'ers to dry heave.

But, the mac and cheese in the 5 gallon tub that has a 25 year shelf life sure looks like a mouth-watering treat, while waiting for the outside nuclear radiation to leak in and kill me.

[DFW]

40. Two observations:

1.) We Democrats will do nothing whatsoever to cause such events if Trump is out next election

2.) If they happen anyway, it will only be because he REALLY pissed off that God he yells about so often.

[dchill]

41. Rapture.

Wall to wall
People hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in Rapture

[H2O Man]

42. Good heavens!

We must work even harder for our nominee!

Recommended.

[MANative]

43. Sounds like a worthy goal!! Nt

[Moral Compass]

44. I'm okay with that...

Would not miss any of them if this happened.

[kacekwl]

45. I thought he was

dead.

[AJT]

46. We have to remember 45 has a solid 35% of the voting

population that WILL get out and vote for him. They are a highly motivated cult. If the dems can't get a vast majority of people in states like Florida and Pennsylvania out to vote we are screwed. It's the electoral college that counts and we need states that went for 45 in 2016 and that means motivating the 60% of the population that aren't cultists to get off their butts and vote. This is going to be a very close election in terms of the electoral college.

[Roland99]

47. What a sad, pathetic ploy to increase voter turnout for Hair Hitler

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

49. Great! Can I get an "AMEN"?

He may be wrong, but I'd like to know what he's smoking.

AMEN!

[Runningdawg]

50. Those terms are acceptable.

[stopbush]

51. Isn't that the rapture he's describing in that last paragraph?

[Thunderbeast]

52. "...and WHO could that possibly inconvenience?"

Douglass Adams: "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"

[DemKittyNC]

53. Wonderful!

Another reason to vote a straight Blue Ticket come November 2020!


Adios, Mother Fu*kers!

[dalton99a]

54. That would be great

[royable]

55. Sounds to me as though he's flat-out admitting they're all kompromatted

and if they don't manage to get the Kompromattee in Chief re-elected, they're all going to encounter oligarch retribution.

[Mc Mike]

57. Don't worry, Jim, you're rapture-ready.

[malaise]

60. What will they die of?

That's enough to make every sane voter turn out to remove the Con.

[Ilsa]

61. Hallelujah! and pass the ammo! nt

[JHB]

64. Almost all the people he's talking about are over 70

Typical charlatan: "predict" something that's statistically likely, point to the positive hits when they happen, but can't be dinged for non-hits if no deaths occur.
