    Trump promised Theresa May a great quick deal when Britain Brexits. She seems to believe him (mainly because she's run out of any political capital she ever had!)
    A quick deal with Trump isn't going to be good for us. (assuming he's still President in two years!)
    News: Rich people paying rich people to tell middle class people to blame poor people.

    They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

    Yea, I believe that's one we'd rather be left out of, even though rising beef prices would be good for my dad.

    I think the more important point here is that the other nations are starting to work together more aggressively because they have a common enemy in Trump. Whether or not their efforts are successful remains to be seen but it certainly is cause for pause (ooooo - that rhymed!).

    If you're talking about the China deal I don't regard letting their diseased meat products into the US as a win.

    From the article:

    The pact would be a heavy blow to American producers of these goods, by making U.S.-made goods relatively more expensive and less competitive in the major markets of Japan and Europe."
    Isn't this what we don't want? Good lord, you cons want to send us back to the stone age. My god, are you all just completely stupid? Unless you want to see more Americans out of work...but hey, I guess that's what you want. This is insane.

    Did none of you think for one minute that this kind of crap would not result in consequences?

    If all the nations agree...

    That says it all. If they agree what difference will it make to us?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
