So is that a yes or no on feeling duped and regretting your vote for trump?
I’m not getting the outrage. Everything I’ve read says the MOU’s are the pretext to binding agreements. The trade guy implies that these MOU’s are binding, if so why not call them what they are straight out? MOU’s are often times not legally binding.
This is just looking for crap to complain about IMO. Who in the hell would ever sign anything with the Chinese that wasn’t binding? Hell a binding agreement will likely be rendered worthless by those guys anyway. But at least that gives a pretext for formally announcing a withdrawal from the agreement.
The Paris Climate accord (for example) is another essentially meaningless MOU, that the Chinese signed and then promptly completely ignored. Meaningless.
What’s up with this new LibDerp love affair with signing ultimately meaningless documents? I guess the ceremonial feel good part that makes you believe you actually accomplished something.
How positively Chamberlainish.
Your defense of all things trump knows no bounds. Appreciate the hustle.
You’re usual inability to explain why this is even an issue is both unparalleled and expected.
But I get it, you guys prefer meaningless pieces of paper.
As I said: Chamberlainish
The president being a moron isn't an issue at all. It's basic fact and this is another example.
LOL, so dumb. To date most of the MOU's the U.S. has signed aren't really worth the paper they're written on.
If an MOU is binding, then in this case, call it what it is, a trade agreement. I believe all trade agreements have to be ratified by one if not both houses of Congress, correct? An MOU doesn't require any consultation or vote in Congress at all, from what I've seen.
Now, which would you rather have. An executive branch running around signing unilateral MOU's (which may have no real binding measures and are just political theater in many instances) or an administration negotiating deals that have to be ratified by Congress?
BTW, the Canada-Mexico-US trade agreement has not been ratified, vote likely in March.
But again, you guys continue your demands for Chamberlainish methods that ultimately mean nothing.
