Documentary.  Docus don't get BO figures or general release the way mainstream movies do. it has been out for a month and opened in 85 theaters.  This is typical of small independent production companies like Oscilloscope, which don't reach larger numbers until picked up by streaming services.   And none of this has shit to do with the merits of the film.  Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator site...


92 percent of 24 critics reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.2. The websites consensus reads

God and Country offers a chilling and bracingly effective look at political forces aligning in an effort to erase the barrier between church and state. 

That Christian Nationalism has taken more and more antidemocratic positions has been well-documented, especially in the book which the documentary is based on.  And by members here.  Maybe you missed that in your apparent struggles with your iPhone.

Meathead, Junior, speaks up for original Meathead! Talk about preaching to the choir!

Red is the type of Christian that dreams of burning infidels at the cross. It is becoming the typical hypocrisy and blasphemy of the sick maga fucktard.

I remember similar praises heaped on JFK by Oliver Stone which had plenty of award nominations in 1992.
The movie was also based on a book.
But as entertaining as it was it was a historical and factual lie about the actual events.

That Christian Nationalism has taken more and more antidemocratic positions has been well-documented, especially in the book which the documentary is based on. 

Similar flaws lead to similar miscalculations in God and Country.

I really was moved by this article and the spirit of community action in your family.  I may want to go back and read this again in future.  Consider yourself bookmarked, Larry!  🙂

Vice President Harris had a Mother who was a scientist who wanted to cure Cancer, and we all want to find a cure for Cancer. We need to work together globally to find a cure for Cancer, and we need to share information, and we need to make the cure more important than the money, and we need for poor people all around the world to be able to access the cure for Cancer, like Doctor Jonas Salk did when he cured Polio. We need to share information around the world to find a cure for Cancer, and then the cure needs to be available for all people, including the poor in other nations.

Salute,

Thousands of Californians, primarily those in the Central Valley, have found work thanks to construction of the California High-Speed Rail.

Details: https://trib.al/7CnJJ0t

---------

Now we are building the new high speed train between Southern California and Las Vegas, which is creating a lot of great jobs.

We also need to extend the Metrolink Trains from Los Angeles to California City. They are also going to run all the way from LA to Palm Springs.

New subways are also being built to prepare Los Angeles for the Olympics, lots of money in coming into Los Angeles to prepare for the Olympics.

And the public transportation needs to have safety officers for security.

Here in Anaheim we are benefiting from huge investments by Disney. Then also, Disney is going to make the new "Star Wars" movie here in Hollywood, which will create a lot of local jobs, and which will help other projects to happen here in Hollywood. And Malibu has a lot of great locations to film at, and lots of talented and creative people live in Malibu. And I love Universal, and they are doing great right now with the success of "Oppenheimer" and plus they have Ron Howard, and Spielberg.

Biden is doing a great job, the economy is booming.

Salute,

What I learnt from YouTube today:

"How many months are on the Ethiopian calendar?"

Answer: 13

What?
Why?
How?
When?
I must investigate.

Christians used to be fed to lions for sport/fun.
Today Christians are so hated that they're tortured to death in bread ovens.
Christians need to do better at protecting themselves from harm.
No wonder Christian Americans are arming themselves.

Oh, horse shit. Christian Americans are the most powerful political group in America,.comprising something like 90% of political office holders and are at zero risk of harm. Most of what I have seen from "Christian " groups as oppression is usually political policies they dislike getting adopted or having to treat people they hate with equality.

Governor Katie Hobbs is still young, and she seems to be doing a great job in Arizona, with Phoenix being the fastest growing city in the USA according to Siri; maybe Katie Hobbs can consider becoming a future President of the United States.

Phoenix being the fastest growing city in the US is a monument to the arrogance of mankind. I live here. I love it. But it is a stupid, stupid place to put a major city.
