Mitch is a weasel, not a turtle.
Mr. Baier is one of only a few winners in the FOX news family. Honest, no nonsense reporter. He ventures into waters that most of the other ‘reporters’ on the FOX payroll fear to tread.
Dissembling obfuscator. Sure, it sounds above board. Chance to vote on it. He DOESN'T say that it will be ONLY a vote with limited discussion and no allowance for amendments or revisions. UP or DOWN. The TPA BINDS them in how they can consider a TPP.
This is a significant departure from Senate and House practices, IMO. Why is it that this deal HAS to be so restrictive regarding deliberations? What's so urgent about giving a tyrant the ability to tack on all sorts of freedom stealing rules/regulations to a needed economic pact?
Why do these RINOs have to appease him, Heck, why are they HELPING him? Money? Big money from big business? Some consultant told them we have to just let the rape go on for another 18 months and then we can recover?
I just don't understand these whimpering simps. I really don't.
McTurtle pulls his head into his shell.
This is how legislation was handled in the former Soviet Union.
Translation,”THE FIX IS IN!”
He is correct in his assessment of what they have already passed. It is fast track authority which prevents congress from amending the agreement that is currently being debated. They will only get to pass or reject the final agreement.
The important thing is that we need to hold him to account once the final agreement has been approved.
If there are still any parts that are secret it shouldn’t get passed.
If it gives up sovereignty it shouldn’t get passed.
If it ties our hands on controlling immigration it shouldn’t get passed.
If it is a “living breathing document” that can be changed in the future by unelected bureaucrats it shouldn’t be passed.
If it tilts the playing field in favor of the business interests that helped negotiate the agreement it shouldn’t get passed.
Voting on a procedure. What about the due process whereby the voters (In other words - constituents - back home) can read it for themselves. But the rush is to get it through as fast as possible before the public finds out it is not really a trade agreement but it is sale of America to the lowest bidder. Sounds like OdumbassCare all over again and the endless legal challenges in the courts throughout the US. McConnell you are FIRED, get out of America you idiot!
Very frustrating that Baier is apparently so uninformed that he does not know the difference between the TPA and the TPP. And Baier is apparently unaware that the TPP is available for review by legislators but only on a top secret basis where they cannot take notes of its contents or otherwise reproduce what is in it.
Lying liars and the lies they tell.
This bill is unconstitutional. Article II, Section 2 states: “He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;”
2/3 CONCUR; NOT 2/3 overrule. What the Senate has done is amend the Constitution WITHOUT the states approval. If this goes unchecked, there is no Constitution. It is one man rule.
Pinky “Pinko” McConnell driving America BACKWARD.
The current occupant of The White House has proven over and over again that he is a liar and cannot be trusted.
How stupid do you have to be to trust him with this?
The Turtle should have been replaced with Matt Bevin, failing that, the lesser evil would have been Alison Grimes.
