She sells magical crucifixes and has warned of consequences from God for those who don’t stand with the president.

The president’s spiritual advisor, Florida-based televangelist scammer Paula White-Cain, said at a book-signing event this week that saying no to Donald Trump is the same thing as saying no to the Christian god.

While speaking during the event, White-Cain recounted how the president asked her to join his Evangelical advisory board before his 2016 inauguration, saying, “He’s got a strong persona, don’t get me wrong. Don’t start a fight with him.”

“Why would the evangelicals come out and vote for him?” she asked before saying that “God told me to” join his advisory board.

“Because one thing I said, ‘I’ll never do politics,'” she said. “But when it came down to it, it wasn’t about doing politics. It was about an assignment. To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God. And I won’t do that.

Oh he waits until theyre 13 now? Maybe if he lives to 200 he'll stop being a pedophile.

When I first read the post title, I legitimately thought she meant that as criticism. As in he literally believes himself a divine being who cannot be wrong.

Fucking hell....

What's the word for when you hear something so unbelievably stupid that your brain is incapable of registering it, and auto-corrects it into something different to make sense of it?

These people all saw the plastic surgery scenes from the movie Brazil and went, "Yes! That's what we need to show how much better we are than the riff-raff!"

I say we bring back tar and feathering, and putting the person who has been tarred and feathered on a large wooden pole and having them carried through the streets for everyone to observe what has happened to them.

We can start with her.

It's the only appropriate response to providing that level of insanity as a service.
