All the old baptist men watch it in the morning for that very reason.
It reminds them of being in church when they sit and look up the skirts of women in the choir.
Faux knows this and it attracts the men so that they listen and get roped in.

human brain. Ditto ego. What they lack is sufficient soul energy, which accounts for the paranormal Mind's abilities to function away from its host brain. Brain reaches inward and strives to protect ego, cherry picking facts and even creating "alternate facts"/conspiracies to rationalize its ego driven reality. Soul reaches outward, looking for what is good for others.

happens when the ego hijacks the brain, sort of deactivating the frontal lobes, the conscious mind where higher thought processing including empathy, judgement and inhibition of bias reside.

David K (Davidian leader), Manson, Nazis, Fox viewers, Mega Church hate pastors, Scientology followers, Mormons, Jim Bakker followers, Trump, and Snake handling, tambourine beating Jesus nuts. Most of these are just idiots, but there are some intelligent Mormons and Scientology folks out there. All those others are illiterate and hate filled fools. Look at the fools blowing themselves up for 80 Virgin’s and crusty ole men demanding power and loyalty for THEIR interpretation of another magic book. They are only virgins for a short while, then you have 80 women that have full control of you. All on the same cycle. Paradise?????. Not being sexist here, show me a woman that wants 80 husbands all at once.

... if law enforcement is arresting these motherfuckers the day of the first hearing in order to make a statement. I've heard of two prominent arrests today so far, and it isn't even lunchtime yet!

I really hope so.

David Walls-Kaufman was a playmate of ours when I was a kid. His dad was our dad's business partner in a printing company and lived on our same block.

At some point during early elementary school years his parents divorced and they moved away.

My folks kept in touch with his mom and we visited their place (she'd remarried) in our teens. My sisters stayed with them too and his half-sister and her husband visited and stayed with one of them just a few years ago.

We're horrified, sad, and thankful he has been arrested.

But we can't help but think of his sister and parents.
