McConnell moves to end debate on 'fast track' trade bill

[Rabin]

Many oppose "fast track" authority, which will give Obama expanded power in international deals.

McConnell is refusing to allow votes on amendments, breaking a pledge to allow an open process (has) filed cloture.

Rab to TPR, when your most powerful allies are farging ishols, improve your target accusation skills.

/and remember folks, The dem is always worse! Feet to the fire! We gotta get’em in there and THEN we’ll be conservative and stuff! It’s a lesser evil!

Frauds. Every single one. No feet to the fire. No promises kept. None of it. Someone remind me why these people are better than Democrats? Not the pols. They are known scum. I mean the lesser evils pretending to be right wingers.

[Not now, Not ever!]

It appears that Yertel is bent over the desk again.

Preferred position.

With our Defense Appropriations Bill, we just ended the 20 year military retirement benefit, closed on base commissaries, slashed medical benefits for military families, but we gave Obama the authority to be a dictator. How do you like me now?

[who knows what evil?]

Republicans...democrats...’what difference does it make’?

I hope he blocks amendments. All the amendments wont be worth jack. The worse the bill is the better to somehow have it fail getting though the House and Senate.

We woud have been better off if that Grimes woman had won.

These GOPe SOB’s have been stubbing their toes since they got in and before that.

When our nation makes a deal with other nations, it is a TREATY. It requires by the Constitution a 2/3rds vote to become law.

McConnell and Obama have cooked up this anti-constitution, anti-treaty scheme with both ‘fast track trade’ and ‘Iran nukes’.

Both are totally injurious to our people and opposed by far more than enough to prevent these treaties from being passed. Calling a ‘treaty’ a ‘deal’ or an ‘agreement’ doesn’t change that international pacts are treaties and governed by our constitution.
