Dr. Chaps reveals Himself as PROPHET, asks forgiveness for suspending his ‘national’ YouTube ‘broadcasts.’
While not getting stoned, like his predecessors, the butthurt is no less real:
Not a crime but a good argument against electing someone who aspires to a religious ministry to serve in a legislature in a system which forbids government to endorse religion or meddle in religious affairs. Such people are not capable of recognizing the boundaries between the secular function of government and what they perceive as their religious ministry. It isn’t against any law for them to seek office but it is stupid to vote for them.
Amen, Sister BC! Amen.
Dude, we can all be prophets in the Church of Chaps.
. . . or The Universal Life Church . . .
NO TPP, Trans Pacific Partnership -Trade deals done in secret(an army of six hundred trade lobbyists for corporations) for years on end.
Who can say NAFTA brought jobs to the USA?
Democrats are questioning the secrecy, and the rush to fast track w/ republican help
ISDS provision is the worst part. Though routine, this provision allows companies to sue governments over policies the company feels may adversely affect its bottom line. A French company has sued Egypt, for example, for raising its minimum wage. Companies could sue our government over environmental protections or anything else they feel is harming their profits. It’s because of provisions like this that the administration is so keen on fast track but Dems, with Elizabeth Warren leading the charge, are starting to make a lot of noise about it and urging constituents to contact their Senators.

Jamie Dimon of Citibank is a regular a**hole and obviously couldn’t care less about banking laws and regulations as shown by this argument with Elizabeth Warren:
Democrats should all stay away from these thieves and tell them to stick their campaign cash where the sun don’t shine.
Dimon is BofA.

Well this is working out well for Indiana. The cancellations keep on coming:

Maybe because of this:
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence spent his weekend ungraciously leaping from the path of questions on the effects and intentions of the new Indiana law allowing public discrimination against gay Americans under the general banner of religious freedom, but one of the few things he has been quite sure of is that this new law is no different from any of the 1990s-era laws, dubbedReligious Freedom Restoration Acts, that other states passed back then. This has been the preferred defense of the new law, as the good folks of Fox News and the Republican Party (but I repeat myself) try to patiently explain this to everyone through a rigorous program of repeating it as many times as a conversation will allow. And here’s Fox News personality Bret Baier, who accidentally destroys that argument in very specific, very concrete terms when he forgets to self-edit his remarks for the Fox News audience.
ERIC SHAWN: You know, the law was intended to protect personal religious liberties against government overreach and intrusion. So what happened? BAIER: Well, Indiana’s law is written a little differently. It is more broad. It is different than the federal law that it’s close to, but different than, and also different than 19 other states and how the law is written. In specific terms, Indiana’s law deals with a person who can claim religious persecution but that includes corporations, for profit entities and it could also be used as a defense in a civil suit that does not involve the government. That is broader than the other laws. This is where it’s a little different in Indiana’s case. You saw governor Mike Pence try to defend the law and say it’s just like the 1993 federal law where it’s just like 19 other states, but as you look in the fine print, it’s not really, and it may be something that Indiana deals with in specifics to line up with the others.
