trans pacific partnership

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) or Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) is a trade agreement among twelve of the Pacific Rim countries—notably not including China. The finalized proposal was signed on 4 February 2016 in Auckland, New Zealand, concluding seven years of negotiations. It is currently awaiting ratification to enter into force. The 30 chapters of the agreement aim to "promote economic growth; support the creation and retention of jobs; enhance innovation, productivity and competitiveness; raise living standards; reduce poverty in the signatories' countries; and promote transparency, good governance, and enhanced labor and environmental protections."[5] The TPP contains measures to lower both non-tariff and tariff barriers to trade,[6] and establish an investor-state dispute settlement mechanism.

He'll probably have a big concert/rally with Naughty By Nature as the headliner.

Any chance we can get back the control of the internet hat Obama signed over to un?

I do find it amusing that both Trump and hardcore liberal Bernie-ites actively oppose TPP.

Guys like Tom Morello of Rage came out hard against TPP.

No shite! A large part of Trump's victory was from railing against shitty deals. There's no way on God's green Earth a GOP Congress is going to let Obama push that anywhere except the trash can.
