Conservative Televangelist Jim Bakker Says Democrats Will Kill Trump If Impeachment Fails

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).

1. By sending him the "food" you sell? NT

[politicaljunkie41910]

83. My sentiments exactly. We can wait it out since he's already on that track with all the greasy shit

he eats; the stress from all the lies he tells; and running from court to court fighting all the lawsuits he will eventually have to defend against.

[Firestorm49]

2. He should stick to making up Bible "reality."

[IADEMO2004]

3. Televangelist Jim "Big Money In BullShit" Bakker. Con Cons sticking together.

Conservative Confidence men fleecing the flock

[chriscan64]

4. Caught on to our plan...

... to feed him nothing but chicken and hamberders for 73 years so he would croak at just the right moment.

[GReedDiamond]

5. Bakker was never "important"...

...he was/is a conman/huckster who fleeces his goatfucker cult members.

Just like his idol Don the Con.

[truthisfreedom]

6. We'll kill his chances for re-election AT THE POLLS.

[Newest Reality]

7. Even among the televangelists you see

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.

[Vinca]

8. Well, maybe for a buck a word, Jim can ask his viewers to pay for him to pray for Trump?

I imagine the typical prayer might be about 500 words long . . . or more. Sounds like a plan.

[LakeArenal]

9. On 5th Avenue?

I prefer more like Jesus.

Nails and crown of thorns.

I hear it can take days.

[cstanleytech]

10. I think if it fails and if he wins another term he will announce he has Alzheimer's and resign.

Why? Because I suspect the Republican's really want Pence as president and they will force Trump out by threatening him with the 25th amendment and Trump will be terrified over that.

[gibraltar72]

11. Buy a bucket of my survival food to help him survive the attacks.

[durablend]

12. Dammit which one of you squealed?

Guess it's time for Secret Plan B (TM) now...

[world wide wally]

13. Dems will kill him alright..... At the voting booth!

[Grokenstein]

14. "they will kill him if they have to."

I don't see the problem here.
He's actively destroying the nation and harming its citizens.

[Mr.Bill]

15. No one wants Trump assasinated, and here's why:

We don't want our plane to land at Trump International Airport.
We don't want to drive on Trump Boulevard or Highway.
We don't want our kids to graduate from Trump High school.

I could go on, but do you get the picture?

[aggiesal]

17. I agree ...

unfortunately or fortunately, the Russian will take care of him
if he doesn't repay their loans.

[hibbing]

31. I'm sure there will be schools named after him regardless n/t

[Mr.Bill]

33. Not if he winds up in prison like he should. n/t

[Journeyman]

61. Not necessarily. Nixon had no schools named for him following his resignation . . .

There are 91 public schools named after John F. Kennedy, 73 named after Thomas Jefferson and 13 named after Barack Obama. (In total, the U.S. had 99,354 public schools, according to the most recent count.)

But when it comes to former President Richard Nixon, who resigned amid scandal in 1974, just two public schools across the country bear his name, according to the Department of Education.

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 they’ve both kept their names in the more than four decades since, despite occasional pushes for change.

[WePurrsevere]

40. Democrats are smart enough to know that killing Trump creates him a martyr...

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.

[rickford66]

52. We don't want his image on a 50 Cent coin

We want him to be miserable for many years.

[Hotler]

55. Or die or stroke out in office period. we'd never hear the end of the wailing

from his minions to rename everything.

[Grokenstein]

69. Ideally

Pence would be the better choice of "subject." 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!

[mahina]

16. What did you go to prison for again?

Oh right, sentenced to 45 years for mail fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy.

Of which he served 4.

18. I say "PRAISE THE LORD"!

[BumRushDaShow]

19. He and the Drumpf ilk may forget

but we don't -



https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/televangelists-jim-tammy-faye-bakker-fall-grace-article-1.3387060

Amazing the huckster is still given any attention by the media.

[aggiesal]

21. He doesn't quite look like that anymore ...

[BumRushDaShow]

23. Well yeah - the article was literally from 30 years ago when he would be thrown in the slammer!

[aggiesal]

30. And I'm glad you posted it ...

because I had a hard time trying to remember what he looked like
to determine if it was the same Jim Bakker, before I posted the story.

[BumRushDaShow]

35. These two were literally reality-show ready before the reality show craze!

I guess Newsweek had to revisit him 32 years later -

[MontanaMama]

32. Jeez he looks like

Wolf Blitzer!!

[BumRushDaShow]

36. Yeah that's pretty wild!

[11 Bravo]

20. The same convicted felon Jim Bakker who raped Jessica Hahn ...

tried to buy her silence, and then went on to defraud gullible viewers of his televangelism shitshow out of millions of dollars? THAT Jim Bakker?
Well fuck, he sounds like someone we should all be listening to!

[olddad65]

73. Lol. Evidently, there are still people stupid enough to listen to him

And send him money. Amazing

[Mz Pip]

22. It won't be Democrats

If Trump is no longer useful to Vlad then I’d be more concerned about him biting into a radioactive Big Mac.

[louis-t]

29. I call them polonium sandwiches.

[MartyTheGreek]

24. Jim the False Profit Bakker? The convicted felon, drug rapist, con artist...

He's calling for a civil war too... Says if Trump is impeached, it's game on.

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

[Liberalhammer]

25. KFC and Cheeseburgers

And no exercise coupled with the stress of never ending scandals is already doing it.

[Qutzupalotl]

26. So vote for impeachment and removal to save Trump's life.

[Iliyah]

27. Remember this . . .

Republicans always project onto others of what they are thinking and doing.

[BlueIdaho]

28. No reason for Democrats to lend a hand

Trump is eating himself to death.

[Doodley]

34. A fake Christian and a conman walk into a bar. Bartender: which one's Bakker and which one's Trump?

[aggiesal]

37. If either one walked in by themselves ...

The first sentence would still apply!

[olddad65]

74. A con man, a rapist, and a liar walk into a bar.

And the bartender says, “what will you have, Mr. President.”

[elias7]

38. So is he gaslighting or a true believer?

I honestly can’t tell the demagogues from the sheep anymore.

[WePurrsevere]

41. Bakker's a false prophet for $$ and is as big a con as Trump. nt

[elias7]

58. Did you listen to Barr's speech the other day

Same thing. It seems like he really believes this bullshit

[WePurrsevere]

59. These greedy cons just convince themselves...

to buy their own BS well enough so that they can sell it by the truck load to their marks.

[Nitram]

39. Bakker is clearly anticipating blaming Democrat's for impending stroke.

[tblue37]

42. You'd like to think that after getting caught with his pants down in so many ways, Bakker would

have enough of a sense of shame to sit down and shut the f*** up. But these grifting televangelists have no shame, none at all.

[aggiesal]

43. You can only kill the sheep once ...

but you can shear them 1,000,000 times.

Jim Bakker knows this. He has plenty of sheep!

[crickets]

48. Exactly! nt

[oswaldactedalone]

44. It's not necessarily

a bad idea, but no, keep pounding down those hamberders, Trumpie.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

62. No, actually Jim

Maybe we’re coming for you.

We need Trump alive since he’s doing such a good job of destroying the GOP

[MarcA]

45. Quite a Date for Jim to be pushing the Kool-Aid. n/t

[mn9driver]

46. He is no doubt looking for a pardon.

One of the best ways to establish cred as a deserving member of Cult Trump is to make insane claims about the total evilness of his opponents.

Standard Cult behavior.

[Blue_Tires]

47. Don't tempt me...

[struggle4progress]

49. Poor Jim has become too comfortable as the devil's mouthpiece

[Shoonra]

50. If that's the case . . . .

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.

[Voltaire2]

51. Gosh that's terrifying. Best thing to do then is to IMPEACH THE ORANGEUTAN to save his life.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

53. He's already brain-dead, Jim

[bobbieinok]

54. Mega bad reporting--didn't gain notoriety for hosting,,,he used PTL $$ to pay for prostitute!!

Spent several yrs in jail.

On his TV show from Branson he milks his time in jail for 'what it taught me'

2nd wife had her own ministry. Now runs home where unwed pregnant girls can live and have their babies

Periodically they bring out some babies and rile up audience for anti-abortion 2020 GOTV

[bobbieinok]

60. Mistake--wasn't a prostitute--he assaulted a church secretary and paid her hush $$

[packman]

56. Remember his PTL church?

It was to stand for Praise The Lord - but, one insider changed it to Pass The Loot. Nothing could be truer and he's still at it selling survival food (wonder how they'll get their bucket in the Apocalypse) , bibles, and solar panels for the End Days he keeps preaching.

[aggiesal]

57. Then we should just refer to it as "Pass The Loot Church" ...

[Marcuse]

63. Lock him up .... again.

[The Liberal Lion]

64. When competance is lacking fear sells

n/t

[CTyankee]

65. As we used to say in Texas, "That boy's not right."

Is Tammy Faye still around?

[not_the_one]

70. Died July 20, 2007

She turned her life around after she parted ways with Jimbo. She regretted much of what she took part in.

[CTyankee]

75. Oh, yes. I remember now. Sad.

[Withywindle]

66. This kind of rhetoric is really scary to me

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.

[riversedge]

67. Baker is dangerous and needs to be on a psych ward!

[world wide wally]

68. Psssst, Jim

There's this one about not bearing false witness, ya know?

[Blue Owl]

71. There's a hole in the bucket, dear Jimmy, a hole...

n/t

[Demonaut]

72. is that a syphilitic brain talking? it's a terrible disease left untreated..nt

[SterlingPound]

76. burger king and mickyDs beat us long ago

[Judi Lynn]

77. Little Televangelist Bakker's just mad because he was thrown out of his insanely profitable job

when he was discovered boinking his secretary.

[William Weehours]

78. Well, I'd Shed No Tears

I don't support that approach, but Trump's rushed visit to Walter Reed on Saturday did make me smile.

[raccoon]

79. No, he isn't important any more. Who cares what he thinks? Nt

[BigDemVoter]

80. Jim Bakker. . .

That stupid motherfucker should still be in jail. . . . He and his wife, Tammy Faye, bilked a LOT of money from a lot of people with no means. . . . Tammy Faye has gone to. . . ahem. . . Jesus, while Jim Bakker continues to do boys on the side while railing against homosexuality. . . Pathetic.

[aggiesal]

81. Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel! n/t

[essme]

82. I grew up down the street from the Bakkers

Used to see Tammy in her big white car all the time while I was out riding my bike.

He was a fruitloop then, and he's a fruitloop now. I don't know why anyone pays attention to him.

[Initech]

84. Given Trump's love of junk food, and his age and weight...

A massive coronary is more likely to do him in before an assassin ever could. He also looks like he's gained 100 pounds since he took office.
