Bat Shit Crazy Pat Robertson: Trump will be reelected -- and then the End Times will begin

Speaking on his 700 Club TV show this Tuesday, evangelist Pat Robertson had some bittersweet news for supporters of President Trump. Robertson says God told him Trump will be reelected, but the End Times will start soon thereafter.

The veteran Christian evangelist said that Trump is going to win “without question,” but after he’s sworn in, “trouble is going to happen.”

According to Robertson, Trump will face challenges from the Chinese, a nuclear-armed North Korea, the Russians — “after Trump is sworn in, we’re going to see civic disobedience in America that will just be mind-boggling.” He then cited more than one passage from the Bible to back up his assertions about future world events.

Robertson said that after these tribulations, there will be a “great spiritual revival” all over the world, proceeded by a period of peace — and then possibly an asteroid hitting the earth, bringing about the End Times.

That’s a hell of an endorsement for Trump.

Are so hell bent on negativity & destroying things, people, even the very planet that sustains life - not just for humans, but for many species.

Incomprehensible the way they always attempt to force others to comply with their beliefs in this regard.

In the case of their end times rapture bs, the world would be a much better (and safer!) Place if these whack jobs would focus on their own personal raptures.

And any funds he raises will of course go into his pocket to increase his net worth while he comes up with a reason why the rapture didn't happen this time.

make observations. He's just another religious flim-flam man fleecing his flock to fatten his wallet while keeping them enthralled with tales of the coming rapture. Nothing new. Such predictions have been done before.

He's fortunate that he's avoided the sex scandals of those like Swaggart, Bakker Haggard, and most recently Falwell Jr.

What' up? Why do you seem to be defending him?

They believed the end was coming any day and many were eager for the great day. And no doubt the Rapture. (Some trip!)

And not incidentally, I'm sure, some must be equally eager for their final victory over those literally damned Democrats who keep outvoting them with Satan's help. Bless their hearts, election after election a trial and tribulation.

Pat Robertson has been saying this for decades, literally.

He's made "predictions" over and over, that never happen.

Yet he is piling up more and more money for himself.

I think he still sells supplements with bogus claims.

I just take this as cries for attention and relevance?



Hmmmm, the Republicans expect us to behave like they would in those circumstances?
I've never been INTO anything required defending the fact that I support it let alone go out of my way to attack those against it?
Republicans are more gullible and temperamental, add greedier and fewer scruples and into fear, is that all this is?

My brother's inlaws just bought a camper and have loaded it with all survival stuff the thing can hold. They expect to lose jobs, home and access to food or medical care because of Democrats. The guy literally build a false bottom in the camper so he can hide a rifle, a handgun and ammo. He also got a crossbow. This guy is not a gun nut. He's just afraid and wants to be able to hunt food and self defense.
