The New York Times says Democrats shouldn’t pass USMCA because it would help America. Once America removes her rose-colored glasses (and the impeachment coup is doing just that) they will see the left means to destroy individualism, freedom, capitalism.
New York Times writer says Democrats shouldn’t pass USMCA because it would help Trump
by Eddie Scarry | Washington Examiner | December 04, 2019 (thank to Orange Martyrs):
House Democrats don’t need advice from journalists on how to be ruthlessly partisan, because that’s their natural state. But left-wing writer Jamelle Bouie is here to help where he can.In an opinion piece for the New York Times on Wednesday, Bouie cautioned Democrats against voting in favor of the Trump administration’s new trade deal with Mexico and Canada solely because it would be politically helpful for the president:
Story continues below advertisementBouie wrote, “Passing a bill only validates Trump’s oft-made claim that he’s an expert deal-maker, and as the presidential election nears, bolstering the president means you’re boosting his party.”
Naked partisanship is usually cloaked in some kind of faux outrage or feigned concern about consequences of some particular action. But not this time. Not Bouie. The only thing Democrats need to consider is their prospects in 2020.
This comes, by the way, after most liberals in the media belittled the new trade deal, known as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, as a slightly tweaked version of NAFTA.
The deal, which is awaiting a vote in Congress while Democrats play around with impeachment, actually makes significant changes to the existing agreement, particularly when it comes to the auto industry, which was crushed by NAFTA.
From the Wall Street Journal:
The USMCA requires a greater portion of cars—75%, up from 62.5% under Nafta—be made in North America to qualify for tariff-free trade. …
The new deal also requires that 40% to 45% of automotive content be made by workers earning at least $16 per hour, a new provision aimed at shifting production from Mexico back to the U.S. and Canada. U.S. officials say Mexican pledges in the deal to boost the power of its labor unions will have a similar effect.
The pact also weakens protections for multinationals investing in other countries, a change Trump officials say will discourage outsourcing. It sets de facto quotas on Mexican and Canadian auto exports to the U.S. It requires the countries to conduct regular reviews of the USMCA, including a prospect for termination.
Unlike NAFTA, the USMCA would also penalize governments that manipulate their currency, according to the Wall Street Journal, as China has been known to do.
All of that would be a needed, positive change to trade with our neighboring countries. Every working American would win.
But Democrats don’t want to do that, because, as Bouie said, certifying the deal “only validates Trump’s oft-made claim that he’s an expert deal-maker.” And they just can’t stand to give him the win, even if it’s good for the country.

The continuing saga of a Democratic Party and liberal media that has lost its way and its meaning. They have completely forgot that as an elected officials to the federal government, they are expected to first determine what is best for the citizens of this country, though I recognize that some have allegiance to their voters; nevertheless, their first job is to the country as a whole. Today we do not see a Democratic party that considers those factors as did this same party in the 1900’s. It is shameful that now they are more concerned about getting re-elected and opposing Trump, rather than to do what is right for the people of this country. The few candidates that are now left in the field to take on Trump, seem weak and socialistic, and they do nothing for me as potential Presidents. Though I admit to finding Trump difficult to take at times, he still represents and acts in what I consider the best interests of the country.

And when Obama said to Ben Rhodes (upon the election of Trump) that maybe we were 10 or 20 years too soon, they knew exactly what they were doing. The hissy fit we are seeing today is the result of that miscalculation.

Yeah…Bill and Hillary are really responsible for putting the change in high gear. Hillary was a disciple of Sol Alinsky. Not sure if Bill gave a shit…as long as he had his power and women. Long live Trump…we better hope. Many dims in the sewer along with republicans. If he can, we need to build a Trump monument along side of the Washington monument.

They are aided by the dumb , ignorant Left/Liberal loons coming out of colleges/schools run by pro-jihadi left/liberal loons
And by the time they realise their stupidity they get assaulted , gang raped or murdered like this couple its too late for them http://offtrade.net/cnmnews/libs-say-evil-is-myth/
Problem is they enable evil while not able to see evil thanks to pro-jihadi left/liberal indoctrination in schools/colleges where real history of islam and America is no longer taught.

Hmmm… I’d start with the Leftists. They protect the Mohammedans so if you want to get at the Muslims, you have to go through the Leftists. On the other hand, the Mohammedans don’t do much to protect the Leftists. They do some because there’s an alliance but not much. Of course, the end game is to eliminate Leftism AND Islamism.

Democrat Party of Crime comprises an axis of evil (communists, socialists, islamists) and their sympathizers, self-entitled criminals one and all who hate freedom (individual rights) because it blocks their dictatorial control. Worldwide, the axis of evil (including nearly all governments and tech companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Twitter) is trying to strangle our 1st and 2nd Am rights like unwanted fetuses. The same axis of evil behind WWII and the cold war started WWIII.
The Doctrine of Fascism, by Benito Mussolini & Giovanni Gentile
“Anti-individualistic, . . . Fascis[m] stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, . . . outside of [which] no human or spiritual values can exist . . . Fascism recognizes the real needs which gave rise to socialism . . .”
Manifesto of the Communist Party, by Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels
“Communis[m] may be summed up [as] Abolition of private property. . . . the family . . . your education . . . countries and nationality. . . . Freedom, Justice, etc. . . all religion, and all morality. . . . [plus] A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. . . . [and] Centralisation of [everything] in the . . . State.”

The Democrat party is the party of the descendants of the unimaginably evil Feudal lords that the colonists temporally escaped by settling the New World. They have been working tirelessly to destroy the Republic ever since 1861. As far back as 1893, a Civil War veteran had his grave marker inscribed with the words, “They are the party of treason.” Democrats made it official, when they embraced Islam, that they are the party of slavery.

Pelosi claims she always prays for President Trump. 
I would bet she uses a voodoo doll when she does this “praying.”

Anyone who supports Infanticide, can not call themselves a child of our Lord or a follower of Jesus. By the Pope in Rome, Pelosi CAN NOT receive communion so long as she is a follower of Satan. Yes, she is full of hatred and if that witch does pray, you can bet your last dime it is for ill-will.
