What in the fuck are you even suggesting with this OP?

ONE Senator, Elizabeth Warren, asked our new trade representative real questions about the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

He told her that if we knew what was in it, we'd never approve it... then he was confirmed 96-4.

"Counterweight?" Really?

Again, what in the fuck are you even suggesting with this OP?
