Oh I see, you're playing a little game with me. Goodbye.
This photo was doctored: Doctored photo. to make up this story: Snopes
You are trying to overreach to try to connect the dots and still comes up short. When you watch and believe a video is true and it is in fact false, all of your "facts" fall suspect. It's dangerous because the fake story is well made, but still completely and utterly false, but plays into enough people's hands that with enough paranoia you will believe it because it fits into your world view.
Because you in fact believe something that is clearly false (the video that you are talking about, youtube, here is also fake. The video is shown is actually a meeting of the Pope with holocaust survivors: Actual photo from actual event showing participants in the video who are not Kissenger, Rothschild, or Rockerfeller), there is a problem with the validity of anything you say.
In some sense, though, you are right, however. Power is in a few select hands, and certainly there are small cabals running the world, whether they are high level stock traders, OPEC, the small group of people running oil, gas; Vladimar Putin and the control of all large things Russian; large studio executives; the executives at Comcast / TimeWarner; Jeff Bezos and friends. The conglomeration of power of course is advantageous. But it is troubling.
I don't think, however, that the left is less aware than the right about this. You should check your "facts".

No idea what you're talking about dude.
You mentioned a video about the Pope bowing to Kissinger and kissing his hand.
I did my own research and was unable to find the video that you've described, and even linked to a video that may have led to your confusion.
Can you or can you not provide proof or evidence that the Pope bowed to Henry Kissinger and kissed his hand? Because I have been able to find no such evidence. I am not calling you a liar or saying you're wrong, but you can't accuse ME of playing games when you make certain claims and then fail to provide evidence of such claims even after I have made a good faith effort to do the research myself.
Or maybe you're just one of those people that can't admit when they're wrong.

You're right. That's Henry Kissinger's twin brother, Hubert. Wtf's wrong with me.
She came back, "No one in the office remembers calling you, it must have been the automated caller." To which I replied, "Goodbye".
Right about this time, the waiter arrives at my table. I hang up on the idiot at the doctor's office, and point to the menu and order a sushi item. I tell the waiter, "Just bring me this, a glass of water, no ice, and put some of that green stuff on my plate, the hot stuff, wasabi or whatever it's call." And the waiter replies, "Oh, that comes with it." To which I replied, "No, it doesn't." To which HE replied, "Yes, it does. Look at the people at the table next to you. Is that what you mean?" I said, "Yes, that's it, but it doesn't come with this. Make sure there is some. Thanks."
Amazingly, the waiter says, "Don't worry, it comes with it." And I said "LOOK! I've ordered this a million times, it has NEVER come with the dab of wasabi." And the waiter says, "Ok, I'll make sure there is some." I say, "Thanks."
Ten minutes later, my order comes. Water, with ice. Thanks. Then, plate of sushi. I just sit there and look at it. The waiter asks, "Will there be anything else?" I just sit there, and say nothing. The waiter says, "Is anything wrong, sir?" And I say, "Well? WELL?!!!", as my eyes motion to the sushi. Of course, NO FRIGGING WASABI. Uh HUH!

Quote: bobbartopThis seems like a good place to write my trip report for the day. Tiring of arguing with people who have nothing better to do, I decided to go have lunch at the local casino. On my way there my cell phone rang and it was the girl at my doctor's office. We spoke for about 10 seconds when my call was dropped and I could not return the call because Verizon didn't feel like it. The soonest I could get through was when I was finally sitting down to order lunch at the casino restaurant. I called the doctor's office and explained to a different girl that I had talked to someone there earlier but had been disconnected before finding out what she wanted. She asked who I had talked to but I didn't catch the name. Then she says, "Oh that was the automated caller checking to confirm your appointment for tomorrow." I replied, "No, I GOT the automated call earlier, but this was a LIVE person I spoke with, and I don't know the name." To which she replied, "I'm looking, no, that was the automated caller." I repeated, "I know I got an automated call, but this was not that, it was a live person, we spoke for maybe ten seconds." To which she replied, AGAIN, "No, I show that an automated call went out to you, it was the automated caller." To which I said, "LOOK, I don't want to be rude, but I KNOW WHAT A HUMAN IS. Ask around your office if anyone called me." sheesh

I am the perfect example of someone who will see a tax increase in this bill. I pay silly high state income tax, and silly high school and property tax, and at least have previously been able to deduct them on my federal tax return. Now limited to $10,000, the majority of that deduction is gone. But I am not the type of taxpayer the left is whining about. This piece of information will probably make a few happy with the new plan.... oh wait, that's impossible, because NO MATTER WHAT is in the plan they will oppose it because TRUMP is for it.
The real results of this new tax plan will determine if the Republicans keep the Congress in 2020. I think 2018 will be way to soon for anyone to have figured out it's effect. I still believe even if it does help the economy, Trump is too far gone in everything else he does and says to get re-elected. If you think it is fun watching not a single Democrat vote for a single bill the Republicans propose, imagine what will happen when in 2020 we get a Dem President with BOTH houses of Congress still Republican?

Oh, and apparently Isis is now wiped out, even though we've heard literally nothing and no news on that front... and the tax cuts are there, for people whom make a million per year. You must be very wealthy to be enjoying these tax cuts while everyone else is paying for them! Good for you...

By the way, AMS, were you talking about the rising debt while Obama was in? I don't remember, but it seems to me a lot of people were not, and some of those people now suddenly are concerned about it with Trump in. Don't get me wrong, it has always been a huge problem. I saw an interesting chart a couple days ago, the dollar has lost 96% of its value since the Federal Reserve was established. Is that possible? Did I read it wrong?

You'd be surprised how much whining the Left has done on your behalf. Since you don't listen to the MSM, I'll tell you, it's a LOT. It was a double screwing to cap state/local, mortgage, and other deductions, and THEN lower rates on non-salary sources of income, too. It's completely unfair when your tax rate is already scaled.

AT&T plans to invest an additional $1 billion in the U.S. in 2018 and pay a special bonus of $1,000 to more than 200,000 U.S. employees once the Republican tax reform bill is signed into law.
“If the President signs the bill before Christmas, employees will receive the bonus over the holidays,” AT&T said in a press release Wednesday.

Valid points, all around.
Tax cuts, although tax cuts are good, it's not good by itself without SPENDING cuts, because alone it will add to the debt. The debt is going to kill us, way before the North Koreans get a chance.

Are these tens of millions going to be without health insurance by 2024 because they'll choose not to have insurance or because they won't be able (or it'll be very difficult) to get insurance?

Yeah. I checked my situation with a tax comparison app. I'm going to "save" a whopping $210 next year off of what I would have paid. Big party ahead....
In exchange for losing PBS, NPR, Meals on Wheels, Natl Endowment Arts, Head Start, 60 other programs? Valuable and exciting assets to public life, only possible through public support, cheap to the individual when supported through federal grants. My $210 was well spent.
Not to mention cuts to vital infrastructure for repair and development of roads, bridges, runways, railways. My $210 was better spent there as well. Amusing that Trump used the Amtrak accident to push his infrastructure bill as essential, when it actually cut 13% from previously scheduled funding for railway infrastructure, which was already inadequate. Speaking of inadequate. ...
Of course, with the top 1% receiving 83% of the money in this bill, and Trump personally benefitting to the tune of millions personally plus billions in estate tax, if those reports are accurate, somebody had to pay. That would be me, in lost services and programs now, and in my "savings" evaporating in a few years.

As always we will disagree on how many of those who get your $210 deserve or need it. But to me many hard working Americans will get and deserve $210, $420 or $840. Because again it was their money to start with.
You believe these hard working people have an obligation to help others. You also believe a person who has found a way to make $1,000,000 though whatever hard work, sacrifice or education commitment they have made deserves to pay 39.6% ( or over $300,000 after deductions) of their income to the “common good”. Why? I would love your answer and will respect your opinion.
Or is it deep down you believe in a “common good” where enough is enough and no one should have much more than another man?
Where does it stop in your world vision? Why would any American working man have a house when people in Africa live in dirt huts? When people in India bath in rivers they also use as toilets? Why should we have Steak houses, or casinos?
