Bakker: God Told Me Trump Will Oversee Golden Age of Racial Harmony

Jim Bakker (YouTube)
Televangelist Jim Bakker said he has received a revelation that President Donald Trump will usher in a golden age of racial harmony.

“I was on my knees praying last night, when I heard God’s voice telling me that the nation will see peaceful times in the near future, with all races coming together,” said Bakker on his television show. “Since the nation has turned back to God by appointing Trump, everything will be alright.”

Since Trump launched his campaign, which demonized Mexicans and Muslims, hate crimes have skyrocketed. Last week Nabra Hassanen, a Muslim woman in Virginia, was abducted outside a mosque and beaten to death with a baseball bat.

However, Trump seems to be living in his own fact-free world, where everything is hunky dory. The president also seems to believe his own hype, according to the Washington Post. The Post fact-checked Trump’s recent speech at a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which was filled with inaccuracies.

During the 70-minute speech, Trump promised to unite the country and claimed he had signed 38 pieces of legislation. He said this was “more than any other president.” Although, as several pundits, including Rachel Maddow have pointed out, Trump has yet to sign a single piece of major legislation.

Why doesn't god whisper little titillating tidbits like this in MY ear? As a good Christian, I have tried hard to emulate the "new Christianity" modeled by Trump and his core supporters who are coming up with all sorts of new replies to that eternal question - "What would Jesus do?"

I am learning to understand that the upper 1% alone are blessed by god. Poor people are poor because they are lazy no good scum who had the audacity to be born with a skin color other than sunburned pink. The Sermon on the Mount has been redacted from the Bible by Southern Baptists until further notice or the rapture - whichever comes first.

And that thing about "he without sin should throw the first stone"? Turns out to be a serious mis-translation from the Aramaic at the hands of Russian hackers. It should be, "He who has sinned the most and the worst gets to stone little kids with serious health conditions, the disabled - who are a bunch of fraudulent liars and cheaters who want to live for free - and Granny who needs to get off her hind end and get one of those new coal mining jobs to pay for her nursing home expenses.

Life is valuable only when it hasn't been born yet. The moment a kid pops out of some welfare queen's womb, it becomes the devil incarnate and should be treated (actually NOT treated at all) as if it were the devil incarnate - it's probably an illegal alien or a muslim changeling. God can sort these so-called babies and children out afterwards.

White males (who are god's true chosen) have been discriminated against since the founding of this nation. Jesus will be making a tour of the South any day now and giving these poor white male victims - who never bothered to graduate from high school or get a GED - high paying jobs as NASCAR drivers, since all the folks over 90 have sucked up all those thousands of new coal jobs in a selfish effort to get the money to buy a little food and a cot at the local flop house.

Everybody make sure your Twitter Account is up to date and check it often for messages from Jim Bakker who will be channeling Tammy Faye as the words of Jesus issue from her lips, and God's self appointed prophet, Saint Donald the Trump who knows an inspirational Tweet when his tiny hands type one. Those with a direct line to the new and improved Jesus have assured me that St. Donald will be urging all god-fearing Americans to join the Navy Seals and go on a Great Crusade against the infidels in the blue states. Next stop, Syria. Smile, America. Jesus loves you - he just has a strange way of showing it.

and there were only two classes of people. The extremely wealthy and the extremely poor. The one thing that stands out is education. In the late 19th century, public education became the norm, and now the repubes are now trying to destroy public education.

He said, "Watch the words of the hypocrite and proclaim the truth to power." I was kinda high at the time, so I thought, man, the THC content of the weed these days is getting out of hand...then I saw your words and God's voice returned to my head in a booming, yet strangely soothing baritone reminiscent of Barry White and Luther Vandross and it said again : "Watch the words of the hypocrite and proclaim the truth to power."

So I said, "...but Lord, I am an atheist, I do not believe you exist based on the available evidence"...and God replied, "Who do you think made that joint you were enjoying?", to which I had to reply, "Wait a minute...are you a cop? Is this some kind of next-level entrapment scheme???" and God said, "Errr, uh,.,,,um, of course not...", but I digress...

"Watch the words of the hypocrite and proclaim the truth to power."

Jim Bakker, my story about talking to God is just as valid as yours...my problem is marketing. I do not have thousands of idiots following me and nodding their heads earnestly while I fleece them of their money and futures...you do.

So good on you Jimbo, you rat-fucking piece of human waste, but remember this....neither your story, nor mine can be 100% disproven, but I CAN 100% confirm you are a self-serving scumbag and I am not.

37. I actually saw Jim Bakker in prison.
Tue Jun 27, 2017, 08:18 PM
Jun 2017

This was in the early '90s; he was in the Federal Medical Center in Rochester, MN, which is a prison for inmates who need specialized or long-term medical or mental health care. I'm not sure what was wrong with him (besides being a grifter) that got him placed there. But anyhow, I was practicing law at the time and was visiting a client who was in for some white-collar fraud offense. And I went into the visitors' area, which was open and not one of those setups where you're separated by glass and have to talk over a phone, and there was Jim Bakker in his prison duds (tan, not orange). He's very short, and he had that same shit-eating grin that he always seemed to be wearing. Of course I didn't interact with him but I immediately recognized him. His wife Tammy Faye was never charged, and eventually repented of her grifting ways.

no pics of him in prison garb, so you had a rare view, though there are one or two of him crying as he headed for prison.

My memories are of him and Tammy Faye calling for donations on their TV show. Each show it was she who was weeping (literally), in joy and gratitude, or something, as donations were reported. Quite. a. show.
