Trans-Pacific Partnership

So now the man-boy president is negotiating a secret trade package that dwarfs NAFTA in it's scope. Problem is, it's a secret! The other problem is obama has to be the worlds worse negotiator. All he's ever negotiated is some drug deals! Choom

That chit ain't gonna fly. Even if all the repubs like it. Bernie Sanders takes no coperate money and speaks truth to power. And people a starting to listen. Scary, huh?

[mgstei1]

HELLOOOOOOO!!! Its been around now going on 3 years and the unions have been fighting it from the start.
Now its got everyone in a roar.

Ed Schultz on MSNBC has been badmouthing it for 18 months. But no one listens to MSNBC. He has had Bernie Sanders on repeatably over the last year.

He also said to stick that KXL pipeline up the Canadians transgender arse.

Barry likes it and most GOPers for some reason, and that's what I can't figure out.

[H.Maier]

Barry's starting to piss me off, Mike. Still trying to appease the right. Sometimes I think Catlyn has bigger eggs.

Yep, our brothers out there have him on their Sheet list. Bernie is talking a good show for labor and the middleclass but its still awful early. Meanwhile the GOP clown car is getting mighty packed.
Hey Harvey, she went through gender reassignment surgery couple years back and for sure it took big ones to do that.

[H.Maier]

Forgot to mention, Ed Schultz and Lawrence O'Donnell are the only two political genius I acknowledge. Ed can fish his arse off.

she also voted for Willard Romney so I give no quarter.

"Unless Congress doesn’t want to play bad cop. And that’s a matter of trust that changes from time-to-time. That’s why Congress should never grant TPA – it should always provide a check on the president in terms of his power to negotiate unilaterally. The executive branch should always carry in the back of its mind the fact that the legislature has final approval over any treaty, and that Congress won’t be forced to accept a crap sandwich in which it likes some material but not other material.

Congressional Republicans, however, seem to prefer the crap sandwich approach, just as they preferred the omnibus approach to budgeting that resulted in full funding for Obamacare and Obama’s executive amnesty. By giving Obama the authority to negotiate a trade agreement unilaterally, and tying their own hands by exclusively allowing an up-or-down vote, Congress avoids culpability. They can always claim that they had no power to amend the treaty, and that they had to vote for it because it contained so much good material.

And herein lies the problem with the current structure of America’s executive-led government. Congress always has incentive to pass the buck to the executive; the executive always has the incentive to maximize its own power. TPA is just the latest example of that Congressional abdication in action, even if that abdication is in the service of a generally good cause like free trade."

We're farked!

[mgstei1]

Yep, just like NAFTA, no good for the middleclass or workers here in America. Only for Global corporations and the desire for cheap labor and manufacturing costs.

Plus, the TPP is so secretive and supposedly does not have that many trading documents but mostly corporation entitlements.

We're farked for sure.

Apparently it has a bunch of new EPA rules & climate change bullchips. Maybe the "new world order" we used to hear so much about?

[SCHU]

Can you say "Third World Order"?

[H.Maier]

I'll say Boycott. But then I won't have any choices on what I buy being made in the U.S.

[Robalo]

If it allows us to trade Obama to china for some Panda Bear poop, I say go for it. Poop is better than Obama anyday.

[H.Maier]

If Obama keeps pushing this, I'll go for that trade, Jerry. So long as Lindsay, don't forget my purse Graham goes to Iraq in the deal.

Harvey:

They can all go as far as I'm concerned-let Hellary be first off the plane since she's soooo experienced at dodging bullets
