RussiaGate and the Rationalization of Censorship
Interesting article on how government and media are collaborating on supposed Russian election interference to endorse censorship. The DNC is also using RussiaGate to avoid addressing the reasons why Clinton was not electable. They still want us to settle for the lesser of two evils.

More Tax Breaks for the Wealthy
Tax bills since Nixon. Not sure why Democratic Senators are not filibustering this. Maybe final bill needs to be voted on again in Senate.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/12/04/is-the-gop-tax-plan-an-unprecedented-windfall-for-the-wealthy-we-look-at-50-years-of-data-to-find-out/?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_taxregressive-1245pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.a17c3c11d97c
Not sure how to stop things like this from happening. Very unfair to majority of people in the country. Still, believe 75% of people would gladly switch places with the rich. The majority of the population is very selfish.
