If TPP were applied in Lincoln's time, the USA would have been sued for $Ms by English cotton buyers for reducing their profits by ending slavery.

The Big Obama et al Lie is that TPP is a trade deal. That's smokescreen.

It's written by BigCorp, BigFinance, capitalists to promote their power above that of sovereign states.

When was the last time BigCorp, BigFinance, capitalists did ANYTHING that helped USA or the 99%?

Since the Repugs are pushing hard for TPP, you know TPP is bad for America and Americans.

the fast track authority is passed, now the negotiations, then it comes to Congress for up/down vote (no amendments).

And yet Obummer is just as desperate for it to be passed.

yep, he's fucking up there, chasing his legacy. TPP/TTIP have to get voted down, and then heavily amended. They are corporate/capitalist giveaways and job/industrial killers.

That Repugs align with, rather than obstruct, Obama on TPP proves that REPUGS will do anything to promote BigCorp.

I remember Ralphie Nadar saying there is not a dimes bit of difference between the two.
Both owned by the corps.

Of course that was 20 years ago before Bushit I and II.

"Both owned by the corps."

whatever.

It was the REPUG SCOTUS5 that accepted a REPUG Citizens Unite suit, corrupting politics at all level even more, which is why the SCOTUS5 was appointed.

Roberts: "Just calling balls and strikes" NOT activist! :lol

I laughed at the risble, ridiculous, senile, emotionally unstable Scalia saying Obamacare should be called SCOTUSCARE.

O The Irony. Scalia ELECTED dubya as the SCOTUSPOTUS.

Looks at what the Dems/Obama have done or tried to do these past 7 years, versus what the Repugs have done or tried to do. There is a HUGE difference. Anybody saying the two parties are the same are

1 fucking stupid

2. trying to excuse the Repugs' destructive crap by saying the Dems are just as bad.
