Despite the sovereignty-destroying Trans-Pacific Partnership being so unpopular that both major parties' presidential candidates are campaigning against it, the Obama White House notified Congress that legislation to approve the globalist “free-trade” regime was on its way. It seems that the establishment is hoping to ram through the deeply controversial regional-governance scheme during the “lame-duck” session of Congress — after the election and after voters lose their chance to remove elected representatives for at least another two years. Critics in Congress and beyond from all across the political spectrum, though, are speaking out forcefully. Opponents noted that one way to stop it would be to prevent Congress from holding a lame-duck session at all.
In essence, under the bogus guise of “free trade,” the TPP sets up a massive regional government that will undermine the national sovereignty of its member governments. As of now, there are 12 governments participating in the scheme, including dictatorships of the communist and Islamist varieties. Going forward, more governments, including the Communist Party regime enslaving mainland China, could also join. While the trade agreement's thousands of pages are packed with controversy, some of the most alarming components include the attack on the right to self-government. Under the scheme, unelected and unaccountable bureaucracies will usurp massive powers over formerly independent nations. Mega-corporations, including state-run behemoths operated by dictators, would be able to sue taxpayers in international kangaroo courts. And that is just the start of it.

If Trump wins expect both McConnell and Ryan to work with Obama on TPP.
Treaties can be undone.
“deemed passed”
Don’t forget that Cruz helped bring this monster to fruition. I will never forget that.
True. And just not enforced
Will anything stop Obama’s destruction before he is ejected from the WH???
Trump wins, and they will find the Republicans to filibuster because they want to be on the good side of the new administration
TPP doesn’t get through Congress without complicity from the Republicans.
Simple as that.
Why the rush?
I thought the White House and their Big Media lackeys were so, so sure that Hillary and the Democrats would win big this fall? So if that’s the case, then they have another 4 years to leisurely push this crap bill thru.
BUT if they’re now scheming to ram it thru in the lame-duck session, sounds like the WH is now admitting - through their actions - that they DON’T think Hillary will win - thus the urgency to pass it before Trump takes office.
Thanks, White House, for that show of confidence in Trump winning!!
How exactly will he ram it through?
I mean, I know he is experienced with ramming things through, but...
Paul Ryno does complicity pretty well...
CRuz belongs to the Bushes
Bingo!
Thanks to the Cubanadian.
No only a simple majority thanks to the
Treason brothers LaRaza Ryan and Jeb Cruz.
Tpa amendment ram thru by the Traitor Cruz calls for a only simple majority to pass this evil treaty .
I thought Speaker Ryan already rammed this through for 0bama?
Why not? Canadians are prolly all for it.
