Edit: I left out our dear friends from big pharma such as Johnson & Johnson, Pifzer, and Merck who have put in so much time and effort to help rid the world of low margin, low price prescription drugs.

2. Oops, I left out all our wonderfull friends at Big Pharma that can help you with the tummy

upset. Without TPP they may not be able to clear that up.

3. We lose more jobs here, they get slave wages there, and a few billionaires get richer

to cover the cost of buying politicians.

Yes thanks & gratitude! It's all good!!

14. Plus they also get new ways to avoid environmental and labor laws. Huge profits are then parked

overseas and never taxed. With each new deal they promise these issues have been addressed, but in reality they never are.

4. that cracked most me up

Thanks for the comic relief

6. And anyone wonders why his Progressive Wing is upset...winning the above characters

did not require any political capital on job give-aways et al. It required kissing off and marginalizing the Progressives.

But one good thing I can think of might have been accomplished, I think that for Bernie to get serious, he had to come under the Democratic Party. Now, we have someone, a real candidate, to present common sense to average Americans. I just hope enough of them who have been turned off and do not vote, will get inspired. He surely won't get much help from the DNC and the like...that's Hillaryland.

I think the campaigning and the debates will tell the story. I wouldn't say the press has warmed up to Bernie, but without him, they wouldn't have much to cover during the Primary. It's one political season I'm looking forward to.

7. Ron Wyden should be ashamed that we could put his name on that list

Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

8. I guess President Obama doesn't "take it personally"

when any of them disagree with him!

[Scuba]

9. You forgot Barack Obama.

[Elwood P Dowd]

10. I know. Hard to believe he is in bed with that bunch, but its true.

As the TPP crap dragged on year after year since 2007 I was beginning think he was going to a four corners offense, just stall to the end of his term, and then dump the piece of shit on the next administration.

11. He's playing nth dimensional chess, publicly lobbying for it while privately telling Dems "no".

Yeah, that's it.

[Enthusiast]

12. K&R! This post deserves hundreds of recommendations!

The USA is teetering on the very brink of destruction. The TPP would be the death knell.

13. thank you

They are in an all out push with their minions and bots to try to push this thru.

The atmosphere is eerily similar to the period before the bail out, war in the gulf, Iraq, etc. It's a push push and make it seem inevitable. Demonize the opposition, confuse and obfuscate, then jam it thru.
