The whole televangelist segment might be my favorite moment of the entire series.

I've been catching up with The Brink all night and have had all kinds of issue with the app through my chromecast

I caught LWT on it's live broadcast. Hopefully it will be up in an hour. One of his better episodes imo.

According to the political board, everything he says can be dismissed because he talks like someone from Europe and needs to get the frick out of our country.

Good god I just read that thread

Gotta love a bipartisan system where you become so glued to your political party that you can't see 3 feet in front of your own face (that goes for both sides)

I like just going there and trolling Conservatives. Pointing out that a true conservative has never been president hits them.

Here is one that kicked a 92 year old lady out of a church she was a member of for fifty years, because she missed church for a couple of months while sick and in that time did not tithe.

Sad.

I'm suprised he didn't make any references to Scientology. Maybe he thought that base was already covered on the doc from HBO

There's certainly a strong comparison to be made between the two types of "churches"

After fully reading the poli thread apparently the conclusion is that there are ONLY two options to this. Either let everyone who wants to be a church be tax exempt or let no one be


Apparently that huge grey area between those two extremes is off limits for them.

This was another good episode for this show. I really wish he had a nightly show instead of weekly.

I prefer it to be weekly. Keeps it from being watered down and allows them to do their research on the big topics they talk about.
