Read my latest post to 40. It's a response to his earlier post to me. (It's all about FOX News)

Perhaps you'd consent to be the umpire. I'd accept your ruling as a 3rd party arbitrator. Pretty much anyone else's too, for that matter.

Yet another thing I believe the recent court ruling struck down.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Are you looking to take an impromptu poll of supporters? I would advise anyone who supports me to say nothing.

Well, then don't just sit on the bench scratching yourself and muttering the same thing over and over. Get in the batter's box.

Nope. Just a 3rd party POV... supportive of me or not. I can roll that way.


AND... I'll be your staunchest supporter the next time we agree on something.

I'm genuinely asking for someone to drop a knowledge bomb on me right now cause I'm not sure.


Wikipedia actually breaks it down nicely - Link

What is Fast Track or Trade Promotion Authority (TPA)?

The authority of the President of the United States to negotiate international agreements that Congress can approve or disapprove but cannot amend or filibuster.

How does the President get TPA?

The President transmits a bill asking Congress for TPA. They vote whether or not to approve TPA. Once passed, the President signs a bill declaring TPA.

Then what happens?

The President (executive branch) then has the authority to unilaterally negotiate trade deals and write legislation. Once the agreements between countries in the trade deal are made, the finalized bill is then resent to congress. Congress cannot amend or filibuster the bill. An up/down (pass/fail) vote is taken. If approved, the bill becomes law.

Everyone has a bias. All media has a bias. The best thing that you can do as an individual is take in as much information from all sides of an issue and base your opinions on what you feel is the correct. The problem a lot of people run into is that they only take in information from resources that confirm their own bias (confirmation bias). It's why conservatives are more likely to only watch Fox News and why liberals are more likely to watch MSNBC. I think it's actually more important to read/watch news from viewpoints that oppose your own.

I usually read the news because I can't stand cable news shows. I feel that they're vapid and condescending to the intelligence of most viewers. Many are all opinion that they try to pass off as fact and that's annoying. I try to read as much news from social media, news aggregators, etc.

Seems America disagrees with your crap opinion.
Regular viewers plus hate watchers.

It's a source of amusement. Like the clown car at the circus.

Glenn Beck worked so well if you treated him like Stewart or Colbert. Then you remembered the man took himself seriously.

Is Beck on Fox? I've never seen his t.v. stuff. I do catch his radio show for anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes at a time. In a 3 hour broadcast, I'd be lucky to hear 40 minutes total.

He was, but he caused Fox News to hemorraghe sponsors with babbling about equating Obama to Mao, Hitler, and a host of other ridiculous statements. He also preached muslim xenophobia every couple of episodes, too.

lol yes, was funny.

Definitely enjoy their videos about many different subjects, from this subject to Kayne to them saying they wouldn't back down to that hacker group that was flooding the Xbox/Playstation servers.

My opinion of their speeches are they are well thought out. Just wanted to see what others thought of their views and what the put out.
