The Trans Pacific Partnership specifically and explicitly set the legal rights of foreign corporations over the legal rights of domestic citizens. It's bullshit law. That has nothing to do with Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton; it was an Obama push to advance the interests of American globalism. I, for one, am not a fan of American globalism. This is such rank bullshit I stopped reading. The United States, since WWII, has advocated the Home of the Free and the Land of the Brave and all other brown people hold onto your butts. We have destabilized nascent democracies because they threaten our corporations; we have sponsored the murder and assassination of humanitarians because they interfere with our business interests. Christopher Boyce sold KH-11 plans to the Soviet Union because he stumbled on a CIA plot to overthrow the government of Australia. That, of course, was shortly after we destabilized the Allende government which led to 27,000 people in jail and 3,000 people getting one-way helicopter flights over the Atlantic. The TPP was an attempt by the Obama administration to say "we're not going to sneak around legally fucking with your democracies; we're just gonna do it up front and legal-like through the WTO. Clinton, Sanders, whatever, the TPP was grossly unfair legislation that advanced the interests of corporate monopolies at the expense of ordinary human beings and I will totally fight you on this for insinuating that anybody who's against it is some unthinking Bernie-bro."Fuck you; you're evil for even suggesting Bernie Sanders isn't Jesus incarnate. Hillary Clinton is a corporatist pig and so are you for saying nice things about TPP." (Something like that, anyway.)
Ever since the Second World War, the United States has advocated an international order based on a free press and judiciary, human rights, free trade, and protection of the environment. It planted those ideas in the rebuilding of Germany and Japan, and spread them with alliances around the world. In March, 1959, President Eisenhower argued that America’s authority could not rest on military power alone.
