GrizzlybeardTrump will most likely pass TPP. He'll either whine for a few weeks then pass it saying he had to compromise to get his wall built, or he will veto it, allow it to be reborn later on in different clothes, and let it slip by in the political off season. TPP is one of those things, so pre-ordained by American capitalism, that there is no holding it back. The forces for it are simply waaaaayyy too strong for the forces against it to succeed. The best victory you can hope for is to change the name. Will it fuck over the American people? Yes. But there is no stopping that short of figuring out a way to kill capitalism wholesale, which is a tall order to say the least.
Isn't she, like, 60 or something?
Yes she's 55, but I really don't think she looks it. She's got those cheekbones or something, and she's actually got a pretty great body if you see her in a tight t-shirt and shorts... just sayin' (daaaayyymmm). Plus, she's charismatic as hell.
It may be set in motion, and there may be no stopping it, but this doesn't mean it should be supported. Johnson puts his name behind it, as though to make people think it's a good thing, simply "because free market" or some other buzzword nonsense. At the very least, he can be honest with the American people, and tell them that they're getting a bad deal. Bernie was open about that. Even if Trump wins, and lets it pass, at least he's letting us know that we're getting fucked. Gary Johnson is only helping the elite stay in power, and keeping the public uninformed about what's killing their jobs, driving wages down, and letting trillions of dollars flow out of the country.
And now the cat's out of the bag, and the TPP is so hated that even Hillary has to pretend to be against it, yet Gary is still standing by this deal that everyone knows is bad for them.
I seriously think that what people love about Trump (aside from the wall and the Muslims, of course), is that he's open and straightforward about why we're being fucked, how we're being fucked, how long we've been fucked for, and how hard the thrusts are. I've never heard any other politician talk about the logistics of how China abuses the world's free-trade agreement by artificially devaluing its own currency, to make it impossible for western countries to compete in manufacturing. Trump actually did that, and no one ever gave him credit for it.
