Televangelist tells his flock to buy him a $54 million jet: "It's what Jesus would do."

“You cannot serve both God and money.” - what God actually said

And end up on his mailing list (and whomever he sells the list to) forever… if you can stomach the crap that will show up every week or two, it will at least incrementally deplete their postage budget.

Not worth it to me, but hey everyone’s got to do their part.

He’d probably have raised an army to get the imperialist scum out of his country…

Can we strap these guys to a Falcon Heavy?

The flight record spoken of would be interesting to see:

Practical? No. It would be easier to convert yourself into a cube then from there into an enneract. That’s how difficult it is to pull back donations.

Please remember that BBS’s new posting policy prohibits incitement of violence.

(PS: 100 mph would be better.)

Mmm… yes.

I can think of a much faster way for this holly roller to meet God.

I’m just guessing, but if they were taxed it would make it really difficult for them to buy jets help people.

Send him a check for “thoughts dollars and prayers cents” (ideally one from which you’ve torn or cut the routing and account number, just in case) or a few of these. Make them waste time opening the letter and trying to figure out what the “donation” is.

It’s a pity that the IRS’ power to audit religious organizations was neutered years ago. Even in blatant inurement cases like this, the IRS Commissioner has to sign off on an audit. (And the Commissioner doesn’t like to do that–might hurt their beltway-shuffle career later.)

GIVE HIM THE MONEY!

Every dollar sunk into this preachers capital expenses is a dollar that cannot go to a GOP campaign fund.

Better make that a much smaller amount, maybe 20 cents or so. If you try to load all $20 in with any normal load behind it, the barrel or action of the shotgun will definitely rupture, and Mr. Televangelist will not get his money.

More planesplaining:

Some highlights:
On getting onto a normal airline: "This dope-filled world.... You get into a long tube with a bunch of demons.... It's deadly. It works on you hard."

"Were in the soul business. We got a dying world. We got a dying nation around us. And we can't even get there on the airlines."

And another plane video of Duplantis. It’s almost as if he has some sort of internal conflict, that he has to keep justifying his private plane:

One of the jokes in his litany is “You fly on Delta!”-- and he gets a laugh. Presumably, no one else in the audience has a private jet, but that’s one of paradoxes of a particular form of right-wing capitalism: being able to get people on the bottom to identify with the person at the top. Helping this wealthy man get wealthier is as natural as letting someone play through at your country club. We’re all wealthy. Just, he’s a little ahead of us, oh and by the way, needs some financial assistance with his small business.
