This is where the white Evangelical brand will be after 80 % of them vote for the racist fascist misogynist liar Trump. America will never forget or forgive. The mask slipped.

HERE’S HOW THE FRAUDULENT PROSPERITY GOSPEL MOVEMENT — ORAL ROBERTS, KENNETH HAGIN, KENNETH COPELAND, FREDERICK K.C. PRICE & JOEL OSTEEN — HELPED LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR TRUMP: THE WORLD’S WORST BUSINESSMAN

Last updated on: October 4, 2016 at 8:38 am By Frank Schaeffer

(Photos C-Span/YouTube) The fraudulent founders of the prosperity gospel movement — including Oral Roberts, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland and Frederick K.C. Price — helped lay the groundwork for Trump. Poor white suckers made them rich. And perhaps it is no coincidence that Trump and the granddad of the prosperity gospel — Oral Roberts — both founded “universities.” That old faker Oral Roberts – the television faith-healer (who in 1987 told his flock that God would call him home if he...

(Photo YouTube) Eight former crew members recall that Trump repeatedly made lewd comments about a camerawoman he said had a nice rear, comparing her beauty to that of his daughter, Ivanka…. Hey Jerry Falwell Jr. Franklin Graham, and all the rest: here’s who you are voting for: A godless scum you wouldn’t let clean your church, let alone be a pastor after he went around publicly comparing his own daughters bottom to a woman he wanted to have sex with....

“Obama is gay, Michelle Obama is a man, and the Obama children were kidnapped” : I’m Sorry but you literally have no idea just how stupid Trump’s conspiracy-theory-besotted Christian supporters are until you read this

Last updated on: October 2, 2016 at 5:10 am By Frank Schaeffer

I’m Sorry to not be nice but you literally have no idea just how stupid and deluded (and dangerous) Trump’s conspiracy-theory-besotted Christian supporters are until you read this jaw-dropping Washington Post story: ‘Finally. Someone who thinks like me.’ It follows an all-too-typical Trump true believer: a 52-year-old woman who counts herself among the growing swath of people who occupy the fringes of the fringes of American politics. She like millions, is increasingly becoming part of the mainstream. What was once... Read more

BOMBSHELL: TRUMP- America’s would be Savior payed no taxes… because of his mismanagement of his casinos! …according to the NY TIMES coup de grâce leak

Last updated on: October 2, 2016 at 2:57 am By Frank Schaeffer

(photo YouTube) Here is how Trump responded to the devastating new bombshell of leaked tax documents released today by the New York Times exclusive story on his tax returns: “Mr. Trump knows the tax code far better than anyone who has ever run for President and he is the only one that knows how to fix it.” As the Times noted in a front page story: “The 1995 tax records, never before disclosed, reveal the extraordinary tax benefits that...

DO NOT MISS WATCHING Bill Maher’s hilarious look at some fake Trump-supporting magazines

Last updated on: October 1, 2016 at 11:41 am By Frank Schaeffer

WATCH! Bill Maher take a hilarious look at some of the “lesser known” magazines that are backing Donald Trump for president — given no actual magazines or newspapers are. Hilarious. As traditionally conservative newspapers (who always endorse the GOP candidate) — The Arizona Republic, The Cincinnati Enquirer, The Detroit News and the Dallas Morning News — snub Trump, “Real Time with Bill Maher” … invents it’s own media “endorsement…” magazine covers… WATCH ““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““ P.S.

Trump and Evangelicals: Why So Happy Together?

Last updated on: October 1, 2016 at 4:26 am By Frank Schaeffer

(Photo YouTube) “Trump didn’t just fall from the sky to become the nominee, he got (by far) the most votes in a contest in which evangelical voters provided a significant portion of voters and an even larger share of activism. Many are loath to admit Trump’s appeal to evangelicals or attribute their support to a ‘lesser-of-two-evils’ mentality, because, frankly, Trump is an ugly character that make him a less-than-ideal messenger for the cause. But whether they want to admit it... Read more

Saying Hillary is just the “lesser of two evils” when comparing her to Trump is like saying a college kid arrested for selling pot on campus is the “lesser of two evils” when compared to Brock Turner’s raping a young woman…

A new biography portrays Hitler as a clownish, deceitful narcissist who took control of a powerful nation thanks to slick propaganda and a dysfunctional elite that failed to block his rise. Sound familiar? The New York Times review by Michko Kakutani (Sept. 27, 2016) of Hitler Ascent, 1889-1939 by Volker Ullrich, might as well be about Donald Trump. So I succumbed to the temptation to reproduce excerpts of the review here with just one change: I have replaced the word... Read more

Dear Donald, Please don’t listen to your advisers! Don’t practice for the next debate! Who are they to tell you that you need help? Why should you listen to anyone? They aren’t you so that means they are losers! Only you are a winner! Only you know what’s best! Only you can save America from losers! All of us Americans are losers! Only you are a winner! You know that for certain because we have fallen for your game!... Read more
