Televangelist and convicted fraudster Jim Bakker says evangelicals will riot if Trump impeached

https://boingboing.net/2017/11/06/jim-bakker-warns-that-america.html

To which I say, oh please. Please do. Please riot when your dipshit leader goes down. You have absolutely no idea how much of a kick I will get out of watching the Bible Thumping Sunday School Christofascist crowd getting tear gassed, pepper sprayed, and beaten with clubs. Hell, I might even take a drive to wherever it's going down and take a few shots at them myself with my paintball gun.

Now that would be entertainment.

I remember seeing t-shirts for sale all over Washington DC one summer when I worked there during the thick of this story. The best was a plain white t-shirt whose front looked like Tammy Faye Bakker had just collided with it face-first! There was a life-size "image" of smeared heavy eye makeup, smudged heavy face rouge and spackle, and heavy bright red smeared greasy lipstick. HILARIOUS!

I think it's kind of cute how the Elites, the Media & the Uniparty think that President Trump's peasants are just going to stand by while they try to pull their usual sh*t.

We'll be arranging neck-tie parties, and to paraphrase National Treasure: "Someone has got to provide the neck, Ben."

I think it goes without saying that there is a coup actively underway in our country... And I hope the shooting starts pretty soon because if it don't, we are going to lose.....

I believe the progressives (better known as the commies) probably won't start the action because they are winning right now... So, there is no need for them to do so at this time... But we, (better known as he Constitutional Conservatives) on the other hand, better make our move pretty darn soon because the left is busy importing their "ARMY" into our country as fast as they can..!!! And YES... I really believe this to be true.. That's why the stinking, lousy traitor known as the obummer refused to enforce our immigration laws and imported all those Muslims.......

The one thing we got going for us is the vast majority of the oath takers, that is to say the police, army and such, are on our side... I don't want to be on the losing side so the sooner we start the dance the better....

MHO....

In another post some time ago it was pointed out that the middle of the country controls the food and the distribution of same. Similarly the middle controls the flow of fuel and a good percentage of the production of energy.

So the elites decide they want to overthrow the elected President - as soon as that happens food, fuel and energy stop flowing.

The folks on the coasts will quickly melt from the heat if it is summer, freeze from the cold, not know how to get around without cars, buses and trains, and they will very rapidly descend into anarchy with the fittest and best equipped taking the food - the rest will starve to death.

No gunfire needs to happen. The military will be useless because 90% of them won’t engage their own citizens. National guard will walk away from their posts if ordered to engage their neighbors.

So the largest sufferers will be those who didn’t learn how to hunt and fish and build a fire to cook on. And the middle of the country has probably 95% of the non-military guns.

It will take years to rebuild but perhaps worth the effort.

The post about the middle of the country is truly hilarious. Yeah, those godless liberals on the west coast with all their solar and wind power and fields of every kind of produce imaginable are shaking in their boots. The coal miners must really think their jobs are coming back.

Also, two of the four biggest cities in the country are “in the middle” and they aren’t going to put up with that nonsense.
