Bernie and Trump agreed on TPP. Now what is an anti-fascist supposed to do?

It’s not an exaggeration to say that TPP was one of the central themes of the Bernie Sanders 2016 presidential campaign. I distinctly recall people at the Democratic Convention waving “NO TPP” signs and citing her (Hillary's) johnny-come-lately, fake opposition as the sole reason they could never back Hillary Clinton. So this isn’t some triviality — it’s a huge, fundamental political issue and will have major lasting implications. If your first instinct upon hearing that the deal has been abrogated is to shout “BUT, TRUMP!” then maybe you ought to reevaluate your underlying convictions. Reflexive, petty partisanship is a scam — not only does it make people dumb, it harms the country.

Wouldn't it be great if it turned out that Trump is just the alter-ego of Bernie? I mean, have you ever seen the two together? It's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Short of that, it would be awesome if Trump ended up doing everything Bernie proposed instead of what Trump said during the election. I doubt that would happen, but it would so rock.

Not even in my WORST nightmare.

The only ppl who have the right to challenge Trump, in terms of being actively vocal, are Americans of Spanish speaking backgrounds, who feel labelled as criminals a/o drug dealers.

But as you can tell from my Piers Morgan/Election bitches theme, it's really the Femi-Nazis (and their white knights), who'd shored up the numbers at the protests. I couldn't even get into Boston that weekend because of the bitches. Many Latinos actually have jobs and work for a living. They don't waste time hanging with Madonna and Co.

Read my blast against the 'Material Girl' on the Piers Morgan/Election bitches thread ...

I'd disagree with Piers on one count, it's not that women aren't capable of high quality work, white collar or otherwise, it's that many of them are just plain lazy.

I mean why is it that there are so many east Asian, south Asian (sorry MMR, but I can't list every country), and eastern European (plus Persian) women in American STEM programs, but not native born white American women? Is it that it's just plain easier to go the MBA route and be an advertising director than let's say a digital media programmer/analyst, you know, the "ethnic" woman in the office?

And as for Madonna, why is it that after so many years ... that she's nowhere near the capability of let's say Chrissie Hynde, Annie Lennox, or Debbie Harry, some of her earlier role models? Why does the "Material Girl" need an army of song writers, instrumentalists, and choreographers to produce her act? Those aforementioned fermale rockers, within a span of less than a decade, put out higher quality work than Madonna, for her entire multi-decade career. And yes, I'd never heard of let's say ... Ms Harry trash talking men, as a way of propping up her capabilities. Her mid 70s to early 80s work has stood the test of time and today, she's considered among the greatest American female singers.

Let me summarize ...

Chrissie Hynde/Debbie Harry ... true feminism where by virtue of talent and hard work, achieved greatness during their respective careers. These are great American women.

Madonna ... pretentious white trash but pseudo-elitist, who'd used shock-jock tactics, along with an army of song writers, instrumentalists, and choreographers, to produce a phony baloney studio product for the gullible masses.

Yeah, FUCK YOU Madonna! In response to your so-called Gettysburg Address of the protest.
