Conservative Televangelist Jim Bakker Says Democrats Will Kill Trump If Impeachment Fails
Source: Newsweek
Longtime Christian evangelist Jim Bakker claimed Democrats will "kill" President Donald Trump if impeachment can't remove him from office.
The far right-wing pastor, 79, who gained notoriety for hosting The PTL Club alongside his first wife in the 1970s-80s, predicted Monday that Trump's Democratic Party critics will attempt to assassinate him if they can't oust him politically. Speaking on his Branson, Missouri-based The Jim Bakker Show, the pro-Trump preacher said America is being "ripped apart" by people who hate the president.

"This political fight that is going on in America is going to bring America apart, America is going to come apart," Bakker began.

Is this guy even important anymore?
He is basically saying, "We didn't start this, you did."
Look in the mirror, to see who is ripping apart this country.
It's the Greedy One Percent (GOP).

(12,712 posts)as a standard, Bakker is an extreme, bat shit loon from what I have seen and selling bad tubs of survival food is his deal. Well, unless your into convicted felons for Jesus or something, I guess.
Why do they even give him any attention, though? I think psyche wards might provide more relevant political commentary, really.

Both Richard M. Nixon Elementary School in Hiawatha, Iowa and Nixon Elementary School in Landing, N.J. were named while Nixon was still in office, and theyve both kept their names in the more than four decades since, despite occasional pushes for change.

(24,259 posts)pretty sure most sane Dems don't want that. I certainly don't him dead, I just want him gone far out of the limelight and the name Trump to become synonymous with something like traitor or a stinking pile of pig poo.
Heck, I hope he lives long enough to be charged, tried, found guilty in a NYS court and sentenced be sent to a maximum security prison for the rest of his life with no internet or cell phone.

Eliminate him and Cadet Bone Spurs would spend the rest of his life cowering under his bed, yelling about his bravery but shrieking in panic at every squeak of the floorboards. Better still, nothing would be named after Pence because the arrogant orange bastard would never allow someone else to hog the glory.
We're always told we can't get rid of Trump because Pence would be worse. So change that equation!

Why do we give voice to these idiots! When you read about Jim Bakker on Wiki, you may see Trumps reflection in the mirror. Stunning criminality and was protected for decades by wing-nuts.
Hey anyone see a connection with Barr's fake call-out for the preservation and protection of traditional American and religious values over the weekend? I had Ralph Reed's 1980's era echo's of voters guides ringing in my head when Barr brought up the fake values lecture as he trots around the globe looking for a smoking gun on Ukraine.
For those too young to remember or even know, here's the fakester and fraud himself Mr. Jim Bakker. I remember his wife Tammy Fay would cry on que with her fake eyelashes with black streaks running down her face and beg for tithing (money) to build their fake Heritage Park. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Bakker

(523 posts)If it's true that the Dems will assassinate Trump if he's not removed from office, then every Republican must keep him alive by voting to convict in the impeachment trial. Either way he won't be allowed to continue as President but at least this way he's still be alive.

(9,988 posts)Because we know Trump's health is shaky.
If he dies in office, there are lots of people out there who will NEVER believe that he died of natural causes. Q Anon and other right-wing conspiracy nuts have too many people absolutely convinced of things like this.
To have this coming from relatively mainstream sources (mainstream for that crowd anyway) legitimizes that and gives even more fuel to the gun-nuts who want an uprising.
