It seems the TPP is corporate welfare subsidies and giveaways

All of this power the corporations are gaining will come at the expense of average ordinary humans.

Obama continually mentions the TPP lets us write the rules instead of China. It seems the corporations have to be bribed with massive amounts of taxpayer money in order to exclude China. These bribes enable these coporation to screw the rest of us, as long as they continue to work with the west instead of focusing solely in China.

This is insane.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511489664

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Fact-free Amen post full of RW nonsense and fear-mongering that boils down to a fistful of anti-Democratic party memes from a newish member. Please hide, thank you.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Mar 14, 2016, 04:06 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: There is nothing wrong with this post. The alerter seems to have trouble telling right wing from left, either that or they just want to silence this poster. Stop abusing the alert function, either respond to the thread or trash it.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is largely factual and hardly right-wing. But your alert might be. Can the TPP!
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: you get pissed over someones informed opinion?

just stop it with the fucking worthless and useless alerts.

this is beyond ridiculous.

petty bullshit
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: As frivolous an alert as I have ever seen. Get a gripe. This jury stuff is getting silly. Or are you hiding the juicy stuff from me?

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I've seen it on Facebook too. This also applies to Obama.

They really don't want to know how bad she is, they just demand that we play along. The Empress has no clothes.

In 2004, she was as much a cheerleader for the war in Iraq as was Bush, and the recording is on the internet for anyone to see. In 2011, she was absolutely giddy (I am not exaggerating) about the consumer market, and business opportunities in....IRAQ! That is also on the internet. And then, there is the apology for her duplicity: "I made a mistake,"...WHAT? You made a mistake?! She says that whenever she's asked about her vote, or invokes 911, as if she did not support that war...she did, and it was no mistake. I think a part of the reason the denial/projection is the belief that she has to be evil to do the things she's done. I don't think she's evil: I think her brand of 3rd way politics became the Democratic norm after the election of Bill Clinton. And that norm has not been good, overall. Bottom line: some people are willing to accept the evil for a few extra crumbs. This is like blasphemy to the die-hards. They will probably alert.
