Following someone's suggestion on another thread, I've decided to watch Bad Faith. A must-see for every American voter.

Bad Faith is a documentary film which came out this year about how christian nationalism came to be a serious threat to democracy, in the United States.

Focusing particularly on the Heritage Foundation and its key people like Paul Weyrich and Jerry Falwell, the film discuss the movement's ideological ties with white supremacist, its avowed aim of usurping the US government and the many, many devious initiatives that the movement put forward over the last decades to build their own separate culture, in order to try to smother what they see as perverse, immoral left-wing hegemony over society.

Bad Faith exposes the dangers of christian nationalism and the ties it developed over the years with the republican party (including Ronald Reagan) and, most recently, the administation of Donald Trump and the surrounding MAGA culture.

It paints a picture of profoundly dishonest and deranged people who claim to be the purest christians there is, all the while showing little or no interest for actual christian values. Angry, bigotted, authoritarian people ready to shoot and already assuming that one day they will have to fight a holy war against the government and a society which may not conform to their beliefs.

Sometimes, people who denounce "evil" in the name of Jesus truly are the product of the deepest bowels of hell and these people truly deserve to be crushed.

US Supreme Court rules Trump has immunity for official, not private acts

-The U. S. Supreme Court found on Monday that Donald Trump cannot be prosecuted for official actions taken as president, but can for private acts, in a landmark ruling recognizing for the first time any form of presidential immunity from prosecution.

The justices, in a 6-3 ruling written by Chief Justice John Roberts, threw out a lower court's decision rejecting Trump's claim of immunity from criminal charges involving his efforts to undo his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden.

The court's six conservative justices were in the majority and its three liberal justices dissented.

"We conclude that under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of presidential power requires that former president have some immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts during his tenure in office," Roberts wrote.

"At least with respect to the president's exercise of his core constitutional powers, this immunity must be absolute. As for his remaining official actions, he is also entitled to immunity," Roberts added.
