Rob Reiner religion note: One of his last film projects was “God & Country,” a documentary released last year based on Katherine Stewart’s book.
The film turned a critical lens toward Christian nationalism.

Trump is telling service members that they should follow his orders without question, even if they’re illegal, but, if pressured, he will blame those same service members for committing illegal acts and claim he doesn’t know anything about it. Not much of a loyalty generator.
