With Rand ticking off his working base with things like what he was saying with regard to hurrying up that TPP (which I maintain is the most malicious legislation that we've ever seen), it makes one wonder if they'll go out of their way to make it right. After all, if it weren't for the statesman's base nobody ever would have known about the skullduggery. True story...

That wasn't the only time he got the "Ron Paul" treatment from them that night. They broke away for some "breaking" news when he mentioned the name Clinton. On a side note, that has got to be the most boring panel I've ever seen in my life. Bunch of old hacks!

First of all, it's not legislation, second of all, have you seen it? Or just read reports about it? I mean, I don't know what to believe when Paul Krugman, Robert Reich, and the Economic Policy Institute all come out against it. I have a hard time believing I might agree with them on economic policy. I think there may be more to this story than just the Wikileaks portrayal.

If only it were just economic policy...

After seeing the whole segment, I wonder if they had the names on the teleprompter for the Republicans in the poll in alphabetical order by last name? That would make some sense, considering they didn't leave him out entirely and they did roll off that into the tweet he did.

Yeah, what I meant to scribble there was that it was the most malicious piece of US corporate lobbying that we've ever seen. You'll have to excuse me there. I've been saying the word legislation a lot today. But in my defense, I've actually called it the most malicious piece of US corporate lobbying that we've ever seen in every other thread where I've added to discussion with regard to the issue.

Now. I've spent a great deal of time over the last few months sharing current updates with regard to what is going down around the world with regard to what nations are doing to prepare themselves against this screed. Every bit of that from economic restructuring to sanctions that caused it or helped to speed it up has come to fruition and this so called trade deal is the only thing that these economic hitmen have to fight back against the sovereignty of those nations. So, yes, there is much more to this story. And a great deal of it is scattered all over the board here at RPF from National Sovereignty to Foreign Policy to Economic Policy and elsewhere in other threads. Foreign Policy is broad. As I've said, it's not just about wars in the middle east. The quicker people get that nonsense out of their noggins the better off they'll be and hopefully pay attention to other things that are going on around the world because, at the moment, the U;S; is economically isolating itself from the globe. That's actually the reality of what is going on if we want to nitpick.
