Republicans Agree on Tax Bill “Of, By and For the Political Donor Class” with Tax Cuts for the Rich
Published on Dec 14, 2017 by Democracy Now! [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuqE7-t13O4NIDYJfakrhw / https://www.youtube.com/user/democracynow , https://www.youtube.com/user/democracynow/videos ]
Republicans in Congress say they have reached a deal on final tax legislation that will overhaul the U.S. tax code, dramatically impacting not only household income, but also healthcare and domestic spending. The plan would slash taxes by nearly $1.5 trillion, with the vast majority of the cuts benefiting major corporations and the richest Americans, including President Trump’s own family. A final vote could take place next week. We speak with David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and founder and editor of DCReport.org [ https://www.dcreport.org/ ].

As more information continues to flow down stream, it is more obvious now than ever not only that the Mueller counsel was not only bias against Trump, but may also have been colluding to destroy the duly elected president as in insurance policy in case he was elected. More fake news continues to be published about Roger Stone, as the FCC net neutrality meeting faces a bomb threat.

Police Shoot Twice As Many People As We Realized (HBO)

A nine-month VICE News investigation found that police shoot Americans far more often than previously understood. More than half the people shot by cops survive, and their stories rarely factor into conversations about police violence.
When VICE News counted these survivors, we found cops in the country's largest departments had shot at more than 4,000 people in the last seven years.

Why Christian Evangelicals Voted for Roy Moore
Published on Dec 17, 2017 by Mike Malloy [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpU4j-LN_aibXA1gONvWzxw / https://www.youtube.com/user/hschulein , https://www.youtube.com/user/hschulein/videos ]
The editor in chief of Christianity Today did not have to wait for the votes to be counted to publish his essay [ http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2017/december-web-only/roy-moore-doug-jones-alabama-editorial.html ] on Tuesday bemoaning what the Alabama Senate race had wrought.
Whoever wins, “there is already one loser: Christian faith,” wrote Mark Galli, whose publication, the flagship of American evangelicalism, was founded 61 years ago by the Rev. Billy Graham.
“No one will believe a word we say, perhaps for a generation. Christianity’s integrity is severely tarnished.”
The sight of white evangelical voters in Alabama giving their overwhelming support to Roy S. Moore, the Republican candidate, despite accusations of racial and religious bigotry, misogyny and assaults on teenage girls, has deeply troubled many conservative
Christians, who fear that association with the likes of Mr. Moore is giving their faith a bad name. The angst has grown so deep, Mr. Galli said, that he knows of “many card-carrying evangelicals” who are ready to disavow the label.
The evangelical brand “is definitely tarnished” by politicization from whatever side, Mr. Galli said on Wednesday. “No question about it.”

Republicans Agree on Tax Bill “Of, By and For the Political Donor Class” with Tax Cuts for the Rich
Published on Dec 14, 2017 by Democracy Now! [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuqE7-t13O4NIDYJfakrhw / https://www.youtube.com/user/democracynow , https://www.youtube.com/user/democracynow/videos ]
Republicans in Congress say they have reached a deal on final tax legislation that will overhaul the U.S. tax code, dramatically impacting not only household income, but also healthcare and domestic spending. The plan would slash taxes by nearly $1.5 trillion, with the vast majority of the cuts benefiting major corporations and the richest Americans, including President Trump’s own family. A final vote could take place next week. We speak with David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and founder and editor of DCReport.org [ https://www.dcreport.org/ ].

As more information continues to flow down stream, it is more obvious now than ever not only that the Mueller counsel was not only bias against Trump, but may also have been colluding to destroy the duly elected president as in insurance policy in case he was elected. More fake news continues to be published about Roger Stone, as the FCC net neutrality meeting faces a bomb threat.

Police Shoot Twice As Many People As We Realized (HBO)

A nine-month VICE News investigation found that police shoot Americans far more often than previously understood. More than half the people shot by cops survive, and their stories rarely factor into conversations about police violence.
When VICE News counted these survivors, we found cops in the country's largest departments had shot at more than 4,000 people in the last seven years.

Why Christian Evangelicals Voted for Roy Moore
Published on Dec 17, 2017 by Mike Malloy [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpU4j-LN_aibXA1gONvWzxw / https://www.youtube.com/user/hschulein , https://www.youtube.com/user/hschulein/videos ]
The editor in chief of Christianity Today did not have to wait for the votes to be counted to publish his essay [ http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2017/december-web-only/roy-moore-doug-jones-alabama-editorial.html ] on Tuesday bemoaning what the Alabama Senate race had wrought.
Whoever wins, “there is already one loser: Christian faith,” wrote Mark Galli, whose publication, the flagship of American evangelicalism, was founded 61 years ago by the Rev. Billy Graham.
“No one will believe a word we say, perhaps for a generation. Christianity’s integrity is severely tarnished.”
The sight of white evangelical voters in Alabama giving their overwhelming support to Roy S. Moore, the Republican candidate, despite accusations of racial and religious bigotry, misogyny and assaults on teenage girls, has deeply troubled many conservative
Christians, who fear that association with the likes of Mr. Moore is giving their faith a bad name. The angst has grown so deep, Mr. Galli said, that he knows of “many card-carrying evangelicals” who are ready to disavow the label.
The evangelical brand “is definitely tarnished” by politicization from whatever side, Mr. Galli said on Wednesday. “No question about it.”
