Steve Strang: The Firing Of Anthony Scaramucci Is A Sign Of Trumps Deepening Christian Faith

Charisma magazine’s Steve Strang appeared on Jim Bakker’s program today to promote his forthcoming book, “God And Donald Trump.” During the discussion, Bakker revealed that he is part of President Trump’s faith advisory board and Strang asserted that the firing of short-lived White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci was a sign of Trump’s growing Christian faith.

“Lori and I are on the advisory council,” Bakker said. “We don’t talk about that a whole lot, but he has so many of us … He has so many pastors and preachers on his advisory boards, his spiritual advisory boards, that they all can’t come to meet at one time.”

Strang said that he couldn’t say for sure whether Trump is a Christian because that question is “between him and God, it’s not for all of us to judge him,” but did note that while there were things in Trump’s life “that we don’t approve of, you don’t hear those things in the last 10 years and his language has improved.”

Strang also pointed to the firing of Scaramucci in the wake of a vulgar rant he unloaded on a New Yorker reporter as further evidence of Trump’s deepening faith, asserting that Scaramucci’s termination was a sign that Trump “didn’t want his key people talking like that in public.”

to fundie Christians who are also delusional.

Trump has been clever at playing the fundies, though. I imagine that a fair number of them didn't vote for him in 2016, and the "shepherds" of the flock will pound home that Trump has delivered for them, at least with Gorsuch.

We really need to get a candidate that unites our base in 2020, I strongly suspect that Trump will get more popular votes that year than he did in 2016.

I watch youtube videos of Bakker's show periodically. It can be really creepy to see in what a totally different world they live. Everything they see as America's turn from God is what we would see as greater recognition of the value and rights of each individual.

Strang and a pastor Gallops(sp?) have been especially weird recently. Paraphrasing -- 'The 100yr war of the dark vs America got much worse under Obama (of course!) and was going to be brought close to an end by HRC. Only the intense prayers of 'the church' kept her from being elected. And gave us Trump, God's annointed.

In a recent video, Kenneth Copeland explained to David Barton why God allowed Obama to be reelected in 2012 -- God allowed the US to see the evils of progressive socialism so that the people would be motivated to stop the down-ward slide.

Interesting note: Copeland attended Oral Roberts University, Barton ;graduated from there , and Michelle Bachmann graduated from the now closed ORU law school.

The only God any of those clowns worship is money. And they all have amassed a huge following of fools that provide them with it while feeling the power of their hypnotism. Hallelujah

Buffing the Banana
Holding Your Sausage Hostage
Jackin' the Beanstalk
Rounding up the Tadpoles
Slap Boxing the One-Eyed Champ
Spank the Frank
Applying the hand brake
Attacking the one-eyed purple-headed warrior
Auditioning the finger puppets
Beef-stroke-it-off
Boxing the bald champ
Charming the snake
Checking for testicular cancer
Choking Kojak
Squeezing the cream from the flesh Twinkie
Straddle your paddle
Taking matters into your own hands
Teasing the weasel
Thumping the pump
Tickling the pickle
Cuffing the carrot
Spanking the monkey
Choking the chicken

You get the idea, this is all you will get from conservative media.

I’d expect to be able to push that crazy weave of 6 hairs on his head aside and see “666” on his scalp, but the spawn of Satan couldn’t possibly be so fucking stupid. With his sabotage of the ACA, I now firmly believe he’s broken every commandment on a grand scale. Anyone who claims this asshole is now a servant of God is a fool... or a liar.

republicans are ANTI ANTI everything that is honest, decent, fair and true, obviously. They are busy at work birthing a kristofascist, inc. control state with an "elite" of "true believers" - and then everybody else who fails to lick their boots: The State-determined, UnWashed in the Blood of the LambChop, Pointy-Headed, FreeThinking, Fact-based, Wrong-Color, Wrong-Gender SINNERS.

Fugly. Very fugly.
