Sarah Sanders on CBN: "[God] wanted Donald Trump to become president, and that's why he's there."

So did God want @BarackObama to be president? Or did he take off those eight years?

Did he want the House Dems and @RepAOC to win in November? Or was he napping then?

1. She actually said that??!

I’ve heard some pretty dumb, false, and delusional things come out of her mouth, but, yikes, this one wins first prize!

[Mariana]

6. I suspect most of Trump's Christian supporters agree with her. nt.

[zeusdogmom]

30. Pretty much a true statement

[JDC]

45. Absolutely.

Bannon in documentary: I was ‘doing the lord’s work’ in White House


https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/427604-bannon-says-he-was-doing-the-lords-work-in-white-house



By Brett Samuels - 01/30/19 08:42 AM EST

Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon said in a new documentary that he didn't enjoy his time in the Trump administration, but said he was "doing the Lord's work."

USA Today reported that Bannon is the subject of a documentary, "The Brink," which will premiere Wednesday at Sundance Film Festival. The film focuses on Bannon's life since departing the White House in mid-2017.

“There’s no glamour to the job," Bannon said in the documentary. "I hated every second I was there. The West Wing has bad karma to it. They say, ‘Because you were doing bad stuff!’ But I was doing the Lord’s work.”

Bannon does not speak badly of President Trump in the documentary, USA Today reported, saying that Trump is a "historical figure and a transformative president."....................................

63. Yep, I saw Facebook posts from ex-coworkers saying somewhat the same thing.

I asked one if God made Obama president. She ignored me.

[FiveGoodMen]

19. Romans 13:1-14 ESV

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. ...

You can use the bible to say anything.

[Crunchy Frog]

24. It was sensible advice for people living under the 1st century Roman empire.

It's a problem when people use these quotes outside of their original context.

[FiveGoodMen]

27. And it's a problem when people claim that those are the eternal words of god.

[Crunchy Frog]

28. They're the eternal words of some guy who

found himself a really good opportunity and took full advantage of it.

[leftieNanner]

57. Translated across about four languages

and many centuries.

And please don't remind me of those parts of that book that tell me to be kind to poor people!

[Arazi]

48. She's an evangelical true believer who has bought into Trump as a "King Cyrus" figure

Deeply flawed but appointed by God

Read it and weep

2. Lol..What sort of God is this?

[House of Roberts]

55. The God of Mother Russia!

.

[tavernier]

3. Yes, he was very angry with us for being such idiots

so he gave us Rump as a punishment. It makes perfect sense, Sarah. And then came the fires and locusts. Gotta say, when we agree, we agree.

[Turbineguy]

4. I been suspecting

that God hates the U.S. for a while now.....

[Fuzzpope]

7. Only because we allow

Idiot Repukes to misrepresent him/her/them/it/whatsit

[Fuzzpope]

5. Frakking fruitcake

[Stuart G]

38. I beg to differ...The FRUITCAKE SOCIETY OF AMERICA. does not want to be associated w Sara Sanders

in any way shape or form..............................

.Us fruitcake lovers, want a clean cake, and Sara Sanders is a bacteria we try to avoid....

She is deadly, stupid, foul tasting, idiotic, lying, fucking lying, and abhorrent ... Yes, we do throw up at the thought of Sara Sanders, but maybe another comparison would work: fucking poison. ..

This is not meant to be mean, just a joke.

[Fuzzpope]

42. I stand corrected.

A thousand pardons, fruitcake person.

[ornotna]

58. Is that shrimp I see in there?

[50 Shades Of Blue]

8. How does she rationalize Hitler?

[raccoon]

22. You beat me to the post. I was going to say, so God wanted Adolf to be Chancellor? nt

[Andy823]

9. Sorry Sarah

But PUTIN is NOT God, and he is the one that wanted trump to be president!

[BootinUp]

10. I'm so sick of these wack jobs. Nt

[Maru Kitteh]

11. PERFECT rebuttal by David Corn.

[bigbrother05]

12. Maybe God wanted to punish the hypocrites?

You know if there is a Supreme Being, They have to be laughing their head off at the Fundamentalist Right twisting themselves into pretzels to make excuses for the Dotard.

[fascisthunter]

13. OMG... she doesn't even realize how nutty she sounds...

... TO THE MAJORITY OF THE COUNTRY. She just guaranteed that no independent will vote him or even a republican again for a long time. These whack jobs are playing for the End Game, but are so short of succeeding that it just further highlights how delusional and detached from reality they are.

[intheozone]

14. WTF, Sarah thinks Putin is God??? nt

[Mike Nelson]

15. Dear Sarah:

… did God want Hillary to win the actual vote? Is God really that sloppy?

[malaise]

16. David Corn stole my question

[scarytomcat]

17. these people are crazy

can you imagine what our country would be like if thumpers like pence and Rmoney were ever to be Presidents
I sure hope it never happens
they are very selective about the evidence they choose to look at
they are not really christians
they are in a doomsday cult that wants to end life on earth
they think god will welcome them to heaven for their earth killing faith

[FiveGoodMen]

20. "they are not really christians"

Yes they are. If that big a group picks a name for itself ... that's it's name.

What they are NOT is followers of Jesus' teachings.

[MagickMuffin]

18. So, That's how they address putin???

Yep, for sure!

[cojoel]

21. And now God wants Donald Trump out

That's why Mueller's there.

[Bettie]

23. You know, all of my religious relatives

tell me that "god is testing you" when horrible things happen.

I suspect that they would not be happy if I said "No, Trump was a test and you failed it".

[rollin74]

25. Trump Administration: Putin equals God

[Yavin4]

26. Sooooo, Putin is God now ?!?!?!? n/t

[DBoon]

33. "President Putin is our leader ... given to us by God."

Yes, according to many in the Russia Orthodox Church

[uponit7771]

35. +1

[Garrett78]

29. Many people, especially in the media, are not yet willing to acknowledge...

...the stone-cold fact that there are tens of millions of people in the US who are essentially insane.

There is no compromising with people who live in an alternate reality of their own making. As blunt as that is, our Democratic presidential candidates and other public officials need to make that clear whenever asked questions about compromising or "reaching across the aisle."

We are dealing with a disease, basically. The disease must be eradicated; not placated.

[Comatose Sphagetti]

50. "We are dealing with a disease, basically."

Bingo.

I've been saying it for two years now, this is a disease; a fear-based sickness manifested by delusion, denial, rationalization, etc.

And you're right - there is no compromise and no amount of logic that will change the mind.

[Garrett78]

52. And it didn't start with Trump either.

It's one thing to disagree about the causes of various facts, or about the proper response to various realities.

But what we're dealing with are enemies of truth. We're dealing with people who simply deny facts and make up their own. You cannot compromise with a fantasy. And Democrats need to be clear about that. We also need to be advocating for media literacy (identifying sources, verifying, etc.) to be mandatory curriculum in every school.

[Comatose Sphagetti]

67. Tis a conundrum, my friend.

How in the actual hell do you compromise with an individual who is quite ready - perhaps eager - to die or kill in the name of an absurdity?

They are out there, as you say, by the millions in the US, and by the billions worldwide. They cannot be ignored, they cannot be reasoned with, and they cannot be defeated by any means I know of except education. And that will take generations.

"Reasoning will never make a man correct an opinion, which by reasoning he never acquired."
(Attributed to Jonathan Swift)

[Eyeball_Kid]

31. So, maybe God will again decide...

to chuck it all and have Trumpy spontainoisly combust at one of his God-forsaken rallies.

[DBoon]

32. We have Trump because God thought a plague of locusts would be too kind

nt

[uponit7771]

34. Which God?

[Garrett78]

44. The only one of about a thousand that she has arbitrarily chosen not to dismiss.

Anyway, see post #29. The bottom line is that she's nuts.

[CloudWatcher]

56. Which God? I expect it was either Loki or Moloch! n/t

[bluestarone]

36. Won't argue. After all he did say be aware of

FALSE PROPHETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The way i see it is a WHOLE SENATE full!! (RETHUGS ONLY of course)

[allgood33]

37. God has a bd attitude. That's what our 5-year old granddaughter said from the back seat of the car.

[smirkymonkey]

39. I don't know if there is a god or not, but if there is, then he's an

even bigger idiot than I thought.

[Captain Stern]

40. Same shit. Different day, or week, or month, or year, or decade, or century.

If something "good" (good, for them) happens, then it was God's will, and He was was working his totally nonunderstandable, by mere mortals, ways. (Who are we, to question?)

If something "bad" (bad, for them) happens, it was Satan, and God just let Satan do that because He was really, really, angry at us for not loving Him enough, and He's really, really, going to kick Satan's ass later (way later) because of this.

What a bunch of assholes.

[lindysalsagal]

41. Apparently, god wanted Obama twice. And 45's ass is in the shredder as she said it.

Just sayin'.

[kentuck]

43. Just like he wanted Hitler, I suppose?

[The Wizard]

46. So Sarah Huckabee Sanders

worships Putin. Jesus is pissed.

[watoos]

47. Dominionists,

It’s what they believe. The rich are god’s Chosen, the poor sinned against god.

[world wide wally]

49. Michelle Bachman said God told her to run.

Was He just fucking with her?

[peggysue2]

51. Question?

Exactly how would Sarah Sanders know that? Did this come to her in a revelation or did God confess while whispering in Sarah's ear.

Suggestion: seek professional help and/or wash out your ears.

[vlyons]

53. Barf barf and barf some more

SHS just demonstrates why it is impossible to ever have a rational conversation with evangelicals. They are a degenerate cult, bent on ruling at any cost. Hillary was right. They are deplorable.

[randr]

59. By popular vote, the American people have chosen a Democrat as President

almost every time since Nixon.
It was Putin that wanted Trump, not the imaginary, all powerful, God thingy.

[Cha]

60. Jesus! How about did God want Sharice Davids,

the Gay Native American, in Kansas District 3 to WIN?!

[mjvpi]

61. So does God believe in the dielectic progression of history?

[John Fante]

62. Coming from the same "God" that allows people to die of starvation

(several perished that way as I typed this), I'm not surprised.

[flibbitygiblets]

64. Um, is god Russian?

Cause then or would make sense. Kinda.

[pangaia]

65. We,,. THAT sure explains a lot...

[C_U_L8R]

66. God has a sick sense of humor.

It's a test and Hucklenuts failed.

[area51]

69. If someone whispered in psycho Sarah's ear about wanting Trump to be prez,

she'd better look toward hell for the source.

[milestogo]

70. Putin wanted Donald Trump to become president, and that's why he's there."

[Marcuse]

71. It's so convenient when your god hates the same people you do.

[sandensea]

73. Blasphemy isn't going to help you, Ms. Hickabee.

Didn't your dad teach you that - in between the molestation sessions?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

74. Which god was that?

Loki the trickster?
