Beside the President. Paul Ryan, scumbag of scumbags. The Chamber of Commerce who never saw a worker in their life whom they didn't want to fuck over. Republicans in general.

And who is against it. Senators Warren, Brown and Sanders, fierce advocates of American workers in general. Trumka and the AFL-CIO, American labor personified. Most Democrats who identify as liberal/progressive.


Hmmmmm......who shall I trust?

Seems pretty simple.

that said I don't trust the agreement.

I believe there is something wrong, quite wrong, when the intellectuals and academics line up with a majority of the democrats against it and its trans Atlantic sibling,

the republicans who have obstructed Obama at every turn are for both,

and our normally calm and collected nth dimensional chess master stoops to name calling.

There is something very wrong with this picture, and both sides are dug in deep enough to take it all personally.
