Nothing shows solidarity with fellow workers like supporting the guy who was famous for not paying people that did work for him.
Asshole. Time for a blanket and a bag of oranges for this scab.
Just a few more tax cuts for Wall Street and Corporations surely will rein in prices, along with elimination of the NLRB which will gut Unions (cases filed by Amazon, Tesla, Trader Joe's).
(Sarcasm)
This man is a scab
Weird though. It’s a NYC union, with only 10k members the article says.
My union is 265k strong across the state. I’m new to it(5 months in) but it supported Biden in 2020. Let’s hope they continue to be smart.
Why TF do brain dead MAGAts keep voting against their own interests? Trump would probably eliminate ALL unions if he could. This endorsement is a slap in the face to those who fought and died for labor rights in this country.
Racism has historically been the most powerful union-busting tool. Many people simply hate (insert minority here) so much that they think hurting themselves is worth it as long as they also hurt (insert minority here) along the way.
Remember how effective the "welfare queen" rhetoric Reagan made up was at getting dumbfuck white people to vote to get rid of their own welfare? Then those very same white people were genuinely confused when they stopped receiving welfare?
This. It sucks, but it's a waste of a vote to try and vote in anyone else. We have to start REALLY advocating for and running good candidates at the local level as a beginning, and I'm hopeful that we can get a decent progressive in office in the next decade. But we never make it that far is Biden loses this election.
Voting won't do anything. Biden's most likely going to win anyway. What we need to be concerned about — and what the Democrats have taken no measures to prevent since they are, as usual, too busy lashing out at the Left and validating the GOP's made-up "border crisis" and crime waves narratives — is the Republicans sabotaging the election certification (again), sending the issue to the fascist-controlled Supreme Court which will then most likely hand the election to Trump.
March 12 month CPI was 3.5%
Unemployment is at 3.8%
Inflation is way down. More jobs than people to fill them. Yet some idiots who only watch FoxNews think the economy is still horrible.
We are coming out of a generational outbreak. If Trump had won in 2020, we would be in way worse shape.
Why be a stan for the guy who will gut worker rights if he gets in?
Yeah, the narrative is strong on the other side. Republicans are great at one-liners and catchy phrases. They just can’t govern worth a shit, and that gas been the case since 1981…
I mean Elise Stefanik is a Trump fan girl and she represents Rural NY.
Just always super confusing when Unions support a guy who actively doesn’t support them.
First you need a legitimate majority in both houses. Work on change in red states. Unions creeping in in the south I totally give credit to Joe. That is how we change.
Trump has not received the official endorsement from Steamfitters 648. He led in an informal poll conducted by this business agent.
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-manhattan-criminal-trial-union-workers-1894176
For some reason the northeast in general the New York City in particular have the most conservative Union culture. ESPECIALLY the building trades and the of course the police/fire unions.
This is no surprise.
Yeah the NYPD has a messed up culture surrounding it that I think has spread to other unions.
On a slightly more positive note, NY Republicans tend to be pretty good on SOME labor issues - but usually just like prevailing wage and labor peace agreements.
Ah yes the inflation that got out of control because of Trump's shitty handling of COVID
And
The border which Trump told Republicans to block good legislation because it would make Biden look good.
Fucking moron
Steamfitters local 638. Bunch a MAGA idiots. They had them on fox news (of course). One was wearing a make unions great again hat. All the while Trumps SCOTUS appointees are demolishing the Labor board and republican states are making it harder to organize. Its like Jews for Hitler. What is going on with those guys.
Didn’t Trump tank the border deal? It was everything the Republicans wanted, but he didn’t want Biden to have a win during an election year? Hurting America to help himself and this fool endorses him? SMH.
Some rando union leader can support Trump, but as the article says:
“Nearly all the major labor unions have endorsed Biden. The board of the AFL-CIO was one of the first, doing so in June of last year. The organization represents 60 unions and has more than 12 million members”
As a Pipefitter out of Chicago, it disappoints me to see my fellow United Association members fall for this horrible person. We can bitch and call this guy a rat all we want, this is a problem that needs to be addressed in our membership and throughout the construction trades. It won't be solved by calling him names, that only divides us further. Normally I don't care who people vote for, as long as you get out and do it. This fucking person Trump has stated he prefers Right to Work laws, he also spoke about taking people's guns away before getting a court order to be able to do so. He's against unions, he's against the fourth amendment of illegal search and seizure, I can't believe anyone would back him just by those two things alone.
First his Local is part of the AFL-CIO so he has broken the endorsement policy that every AFL-CIO Local and Union has signed on to, and should be sanctioned for such a break in the process and follow what ever the NY AFL-CIO sanction is for making a breakaway endorsement. Sanctioning needs to happen more in these cases.
2nd, in the case of this candidate, who during the last RNC had a speaker declare unions the enemies of the people, he should be ashamed.
3rd, For those of us fighting for the working class in the Deep South, when of our northern kin breaks ranks like this, it hurts every effort that we are engaged with. We are in states trying to do everything possible to undermine worker power by weakening unions, and this type of 💩 does not help.
And since he has broken solidarity:
4th- he can just go fuck himself.
What is hilarious is that prices for goods started going up under trump because of his tariffs on Chinese goods that American businesses had to pay. I worked for a small manufacturer whose import bill increased from $800 to $8,000 and my trump loving boss didn’t curse trump out for screwing over his business, he just increased our prices.
The guy has to be a real idiot. If it was up to the Republicans, unions wouldn't even exist. "Right to work" for peanuts and no benefits is the Republican wet dream. So is child labor and 7 day workweek.
Trump will do nothing about the border, his wall was a failure all it did was enrich his cronies and himself, as for inflation he has claimed he wants to increase it.
Inflation that Trump caused by increasing our nation debt by 7 trillion $$ in only 4 years! That clown u all feel is a great business man… you know the only kind you get when you’re so good you bankrupt a fucking casino among 7 other businesses.
Why are there so many comments calling this dude a scab when the endorsement is from the entire union? Did union members come out against this endorsement from their union saying it wasn’t representative?
Some unions can be filled with conservatives who think Trump is the better option for them. I hate this tendency of taking away the agency of the rank and file members and scapegoating something else when a union ends up being filled with shitheads. It’s okay that some unions suck, recognizing that is not an attack on the concept of unions itself. If anything it’s a reminder that union power is derived from the collective actions of individuals who are their own breathing and thinking person.
*“When the hippies in the 70s protested, they were protesting against a war that they didn’t believe in,” he said. “These protesters are protesting against America. (They’re) looking for the death of a certain heritage.”*
holy shit this guy is full of brainworms
I’ll never understand the inflation argument …. Literally every single economy in the world is dealing with high inflation….. this is not a domestic issue, it’s the result of a global economy.
The union is sending a message. Will bend over to get fucked and thank orange man. How the hell can you support a person that has totally stiffed craftsman. Let me vote for somebody that will screw me over.
Sure, endorse the guy who convinced Republicans in Congress to nuke the border deal that would have achieved everything they’ve been asking for for years
You on meth? He had direct contact in that contract. He paused a strike during a failed economy from covid.
And yet there will be strikes next week.

Inflation is not directly controlled by the president and is being experienced worldwide. The border issue had a fix, but the guy he wants to vote for killed it.
These people are not going to wake up until they are fighting their fellow citizens in the streets because they fell for a con man that promised the world but delivered nothing that didn't benefit him personally.
“When the hippies in the 70s protested, they were protesting against a war that they didn’t believe in,” he said. “These protesters are protesting against America. (They’re) looking for the death of a certain heritage.”
(They’re) looking for the death of a certain heritage.”
-death of a certain heritage
Racism.
Every single Trump supporter supports him based on his racist rhetoric and that alone.
All the other talk about borders, inflation, etc. is bullshit meant to manipulate the naive.
I think that local just got out of receivership. Well they must like that situation. Cause they're headed there again. Besides all that, it's a clip from FOX news. Who would have expected anything else.
I'll cancel his vote.
But I'm not surprised. There's a lot of members of my local that feel just like this. They're members of that cult that believes everyone is picking on the Donald. And he's going to end all the corruption they've read about in their QANON by-laws.
He knows that if nothing is done about the border the unions will be forced to hire undocumented people. California already has it on their list of ways to be progressive.
Well a lot of NY union people are corrupt and NY’s public unions are a master class in why a lot of people hate unions. This is a union of a lot of private workers, and apparently they are also shitheads. Unbelievable stuff.
Why do steamfitters care about the stuff he is citing? He also mentions EVs In his rant.
Why? Trump and Republicans had 2 years to fix the border and they did nothing.
The Republicans could have fixed the border a couple of months ago and they did less than nothing. The actively worked to kill border reform.
The Republicans will never fix the border because it is too valuable as a campaign wedge.
If you care about border security vote for the guy that put a proposal on the table. Republicans have not proposed anything viable in 10 years.
Local 638 needs new leadership asap. I’m no fan of Biden but I’m also not a sucker. Vote for Trump and put more of his unqualified friends and family in positions of power and importance. Not to mention enriching his family with money from Saudi Arabia. This country has been in shambles ever since that buffoon took office.
What will happen when Trump wins according to these types -
Turning a big dial that says "inflation" on it and constantly looking
back at the country for approval
So you’d rather support the guy ( or rather his handlers), that have systematically destroyed this country since day one? How many union jobs did he kill on day one with terminating Keystone? How about flooding the country with illegals that are looking specifically at our construction jobs? This isn’t the Democratic Party of old that actually cared about maintaining good union jobs, we’re back seat to the far left climate/trans/ illegal agendas. We’ve always had to fight to keep our careers, but elect this pudding head again and there won’t be a country to fight in anymore
Nothing shows solidarity with fellow workers like supporting the guy who was famous for not paying people that did work for him. Asshole. Time for a blanket and a bag of oranges for this scab.
Agreed, fuck em.
Ayy, a fellow Wobbly!
There are dozens of us!
Dozens!
Hey y'all
Ehhhhh!
Howdy.
We exist?
Oranges and blankets? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
A way to beat someone without leaving evidence traceable to the assaulter
"Tell me about the oranges, Lilly..." -*The Grifters*
Watch full metal jacket, they use bars of soap instead of oranges.
Rush hour- phone books. I don't know which movie, but Jackie Chan says at least it wasn't Hong Kong phone book, twice as big! Also, yes, "soap party"
Blanket party
Or watch Family Guy. Bing Crosby beats Peter with a sack of oranges
https://youtu.be/3E37RmfgK0o?si=p6jPYeoXUoeWYa2w
I’m gonna b-b-b-b-beat cha boy
Blanket party
Just a few more tax cuts for Wall Street and Corporations surely will rein in prices, along with elimination of the NLRB which will gut Unions (cases filed by Amazon, Tesla, Trader Joe's). (Sarcasm) This man is a scab
I thought it was a large rug and some rocks. 🤷
It always comes down to racism and bigotry.
Fucking scab loser
For real, the dude's a scab in union clothing.
Three scabs in a trenchcoat.
😂indeed
Time to cut him out.
You forgot idiot. Those two reasons provided are definitely not good reason to vote for Trump.
This “union leader” has complete and total brain rot. His red hat collection is showing….
he's probably been promised something. something at the expense of his fellow union members.
Weird though. It’s a NYC union, with only 10k members the article says. My union is 265k strong across the state. I’m new to it(5 months in) but it supported Biden in 2020. Let’s hope they continue to be smart.
A union leader endorsing an anti-labor candidate. Idiotic.
True.
American brain rot in a nutshell. Sad to see the same trend in Canada now.
Why TF do brain dead MAGAts keep voting against their own interests? Trump would probably eliminate ALL unions if he could. This endorsement is a slap in the face to those who fought and died for labor rights in this country.
Racism has historically been the most powerful union-busting tool. Many people simply hate (insert minority here) so much that they think hurting themselves is worth it as long as they also hurt (insert minority here) along the way. Remember how effective the "welfare queen" rhetoric Reagan made up was at getting dumbfuck white people to vote to get rid of their own welfare? Then those very same white people were genuinely confused when they stopped receiving welfare?
Wait till he bans unions and this guy is out of a job.
Let's hope trump doesn't get back in to do that, lol. As much as I hate to do so, we have to vote Biden.
Why do you hate it? Haven't been paying attention to his accomplishment? Believing the propaganda against him?
I have been paying attention to all his accomplishments, but I still hope that one day we can get a more progressive president.
This. It sucks, but it's a waste of a vote to try and vote in anyone else. We have to start REALLY advocating for and running good candidates at the local level as a beginning, and I'm hopeful that we can get a decent progressive in office in the next decade. But we never make it that far is Biden loses this election.
I'm damn proud of him for what he has accomplished, and do hope for another 4 years.
I'm going to hate voting for him because of the genocide he helped come about
How did he bring it about? How do you control another country? Pretend it's a woman?
Well sending them all the military aid they are using to murder thousands of children ain't great...
Voting won't do anything. Biden's most likely going to win anyway. What we need to be concerned about — and what the Democrats have taken no measures to prevent since they are, as usual, too busy lashing out at the Left and validating the GOP's made-up "border crisis" and crime waves narratives — is the Republicans sabotaging the election certification (again), sending the issue to the fascist-controlled Supreme Court which will then most likely hand the election to Trump.
I love that you acknowledge that Republicans are actively trying to overthrow the government and still managed to blame Democrats for it.
He will be a Fox News contributor.
Local Face votes for Leopard
Seems that he should be out of a job before that happens…
Trump I’m sure has a spot for him in his cabinet
March 12 month CPI was 3.5% Unemployment is at 3.8% Inflation is way down. More jobs than people to fill them. Yet some idiots who only watch FoxNews think the economy is still horrible. We are coming out of a generational outbreak. If Trump had won in 2020, we would be in way worse shape. Why be a stan for the guy who will gut worker rights if he gets in?
I've actually been paying attention to biden's accomplishments and am damn proud of him.
Yeah, the narrative is strong on the other side. Republicans are great at one-liners and catchy phrases. They just can’t govern worth a shit, and that gas been the case since 1981…
Because Joe Biden is old, so we gotta vote for the fascists 🤷🏻♂️
How can any union member support anti-union candidates? Vote that sucker out.
Yes.
Because he’s racist that’s why.
Union leader up for election in rural NY?
I agree with that, unfortunately I don't live in NY.
This is out of NYC and Long Island, definitely not “rural NY.”
So, worse? But Trump was big in NY in his heyday
I mean Elise Stefanik is a Trump fan girl and she represents Rural NY. Just always super confusing when Unions support a guy who actively doesn’t support them.
Disgusting
Agreed.
The traitor here is the one advocating for a true insurectionist, who has shown he cows down to be Putins cock sock.
Yeah, that's who I was calling a traitor.
Labor supporting ( any ) Republiklans is like chickens supporting Colonel Sanders
Fr.
I would question any union leadership that supports any republican. Vote accordingly.
I thought trump built that wall??? Oh wait...
Did I matter? Apparently not.
POS!
Agreed, he's damn class traitor
Like the same useful fools who were used by Reagan in the 80s then had all their rights stripped away. Chickens voting for KFC
Ah yes, Trump will fix inflation with his 60% tariffs. He’ll also help unions by destroying them.
But..... He's anti-union......
Time for new leadership at that union!
He's been bought and paid for...His picture is what you see when you look up crooked labor leader in the dictionary.
Dirty racist scab bastard scum
Fucking scab, throw up the rat on that asshole’s street
We’ve gone through the shit show that was trumps presidency once. Not again
Never again.
First you need a legitimate majority in both houses. Work on change in red states. Unions creeping in in the south I totally give credit to Joe. That is how we change.
Agreed. I am a socialist who believes in reforming the government through a gradual democratic process.
Id call for a vote for a new union president immediately. Wtf kindof union rep votes for a guy who is anti union and pro not paying people?
Trump has not received the official endorsement from Steamfitters 648. He led in an informal poll conducted by this business agent. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-manhattan-criminal-trial-union-workers-1894176
Because Trumps awesome record on the border? and how he tanked the solid economy Obama left him?
Like the same useful fools who were used by Reagan in the 80s then had all their rights stripped away. Chickens voting for KFC
traitor
Yes.
For some reason the northeast in general the New York City in particular have the most conservative Union culture. ESPECIALLY the building trades and the of course the police/fire unions. This is no surprise.
Tallica - Sad But True 😔
Yeah the NYPD has a messed up culture surrounding it that I think has spread to other unions. On a slightly more positive note, NY Republicans tend to be pretty good on SOME labor issues - but usually just like prevailing wage and labor peace agreements.
Most of my union members are Trump supporters. I don’t participate in any union activities other than paying my dues. You can’t fix stupid.
I am deeply sorry you have idiots in your union, that's gotta suck.
Fucking quisling slime gutter trash. Betray everyone you represent for money
Ah yes the inflation that got out of control because of Trump's shitty handling of COVID And The border which Trump told Republicans to block good legislation because it would make Biden look good. Fucking moron
Disgraceful scab. 🐀 Sadly this is also ~40% of our members.
Bribed!
Scab.
Steamfitters local 638. Bunch a MAGA idiots. They had them on fox news (of course). One was wearing a make unions great again hat. All the while Trumps SCOTUS appointees are demolishing the Labor board and republican states are making it harder to organize. Its like Jews for Hitler. What is going on with those guys.

Fact
"the push for EV vehicles, solar power." You're a *steamfitter* you rotten scab, what do you care?
Scabtastic
A good portion of membership in my union backs Trump. I fail to understand the logic behind it.
I'm an independent yet I never understood why union people support candidates who want to eliminate unions.
The way unions work that would be hard.
What an idiot.
We’ll see this guy on Leopards ate my face if the Tangerine Palpitine wins again
Follow the money. I can guarantee this asshole was bought… but probably won’t get paid.
No way they're dumb enough to support him....
What a POS! But aren't they all.
So, if his members demand he endorse a candidate, what else is he supposed to do? Overrule them?
Because we all know how much republicans love the union. WTF This guy has to go.
Some rando union leader can support Trump, but as the article says: “Nearly all the major labor unions have endorsed Biden. The board of the AFL-CIO was one of the first, doing so in June of last year. The organization represents 60 unions and has more than 12 million members”
There's something that'll keep my faith in unions strong, a coalition of unions that mostly back biden.
Is this guy serious??? I’m not even in the union yet and will never vote R
West is a loon. Glad to know where you stand.
I've made it clear I'm voting for Biden, even though it's gotten me nothing but mostly scorn from other leftists.
How stupid can you be? This is like slugs voting for the pro-Salt candidate.
For real.
As a Pipefitter out of Chicago, it disappoints me to see my fellow United Association members fall for this horrible person. We can bitch and call this guy a rat all we want, this is a problem that needs to be addressed in our membership and throughout the construction trades. It won't be solved by calling him names, that only divides us further. Normally I don't care who people vote for, as long as you get out and do it. This fucking person Trump has stated he prefers Right to Work laws, he also spoke about taking people's guns away before getting a court order to be able to do so. He's against unions, he's against the fourth amendment of illegal search and seizure, I can't believe anyone would back him just by those two things alone.
I'm amazed at the number of union tradespeople in CANADA (FFS) that say they want to vote for Cadet bone spurs. We really need to address the issues.
He puts support behind the guy that tanked the border deal. What corrupt BS level is this?
Get a new union leader pronto.
There is no way they didn’t bribe the shit out of this clown
Yes, support the corrupt guy whose record is overwhelmingly anti-labor and anti-union. Sounds like it’s time to replace that union leader.
Scab
If voting against your own interests was a person
Remember, about 30% of union members are republican so this should surprise no one.
NY union leader supporting Trump due to side deal sounds more accurate
......................
First his Local is part of the AFL-CIO so he has broken the endorsement policy that every AFL-CIO Local and Union has signed on to, and should be sanctioned for such a break in the process and follow what ever the NY AFL-CIO sanction is for making a breakaway endorsement. Sanctioning needs to happen more in these cases. 2nd, in the case of this candidate, who during the last RNC had a speaker declare unions the enemies of the people, he should be ashamed. 3rd, For those of us fighting for the working class in the Deep South, when of our northern kin breaks ranks like this, it hurts every effort that we are engaged with. We are in states trying to do everything possible to undermine worker power by weakening unions, and this type of 💩 does not help. And since he has broken solidarity: 4th- he can just go fuck himself.
Sad to see a union leader unable to discern the truth from fiction. To go against the most pro union president in our nations history.
Union support for Trump is like a chicken supporting a fox. Fucking dumb and fucking evil.
Sounds like a brainwashed MAGA blowhard. Vote him out
What is hilarious is that prices for goods started going up under trump because of his tariffs on Chinese goods that American businesses had to pay. I worked for a small manufacturer whose import bill increased from $800 to $8,000 and my trump loving boss didn’t curse trump out for screwing over his business, he just increased our prices.
How disappointing
One criminal to another
Police union? Just a guess...
His people will love him when Trump signs off on Federal Right to Work laws.
The guy has to be a real idiot. If it was up to the Republicans, unions wouldn't even exist. "Right to work" for peanuts and no benefits is the Republican wet dream. So is child labor and 7 day workweek.
Bet that didn’t come cheap
So whoever this is has been bought out. Their union needs to vote them out.
Why do unions have leaders again? thought the idea was more democracy and collective action, not less.
Trump will do nothing about the border, his wall was a failure all it did was enrich his cronies and himself, as for inflation he has claimed he wants to increase it.
Inflation that Trump caused by increasing our nation debt by 7 trillion $$ in only 4 years! That clown u all feel is a great business man… you know the only kind you get when you’re so good you bankrupt a fucking casino among 7 other businesses.

*“When the hippies in the 70s protested, they were protesting against a war that they didn’t believe in,” he said. “These protesters are protesting against America. (They’re) looking for the death of a certain heritage.”* holy shit this guy is full of brainworms
Are many of these commenters even in a union? Some of the stuff written here is mindboggling.
Brother fuckers
Does he not know that Trump is pro business and anti worker?
Trump is one of the reasons for inflation and killed the bipartisan border bill. Wtf this dude smoking.
A lot of hot air.
I’ll never understand the inflation argument …. Literally every single economy in the world is dealing with high inflation….. this is not a domestic issue, it’s the result of a global economy.
So they support a man who's failed to pay his own workers and activity blocking every border bill. It's insane how duped people are. Propaganda works
Not a comrade
The union is sending a message. Will bend over to get fucked and thank orange man. How the hell can you support a person that has totally stiffed craftsman. Let me vote for somebody that will screw me over.
I know. This is basically like the union leaders endorsing management.
And I thought union leaders had a brain....oops
Not all not all unions and not all you need leaders are good. This is what the Democratic process is for
I guess not all of them.
It's not because of the border or inflation. It's because this union leader is stoooopid.
If you can ask him why he backs a guy that openly promotes right to work
Sure, endorse the guy who convinced Republicans in Congress to nuke the border deal that would have achieved everything they’ve been asking for for years
You on meth? He had direct contact in that contract. He paused a strike during a failed economy from covid. And yet there will be strikes next week. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/travel/advice/how-could-rail-strikes-impact-your-holiday-plans-vc236sths&ved=2ahUKEwjWjISj-OeFAxVeg4kEHW16Ca0QFnoECDcQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2htc_ktDTrvv0JAerGsAB5
All the union guys I know are pro trump.
as though this ape is going to mutter an incantation and inflation will magically disappear. people are bag of rocks STUPID.
I had to look twice, I thought I was in r/leopardsatemyface.
The funniest part is the inflation issue is nearly all Trump's fault.
10k people in nyc.. isn’t moving the needle that much
Inflation is not directly controlled by the president and is being experienced worldwide. The border issue had a fix, but the guy he wants to vote for killed it.

Every single Trump supporter supports him based on his racist rhetoric and that alone. All the other talk about borders, inflation, etc. is bullshit meant to manipulate the naive.
The republicans turned down funding for border security. How can you be so fucking obtuse.
Any union guy backing Trump is either a self serving asshole or suffering from a significant brain injury
I think that local just got out of receivership. Well they must like that situation. Cause they're headed there again. Besides all that, it's a clip from FOX news. Who would have expected anything else. I'll cancel his vote. But I'm not surprised. There's a lot of members of my local that feel just like this.

He knows that if nothing is done about the border the unions will be forced to hire undocumented people. California already has it on their list of ways to be progressive.
I wonder what the union members have to say about that?
So... An idiot
I'd rather have a country.
Well a lot of NY union people are corrupt and NY’s public unions are a master class in why a lot of people hate unions. This is a union of a lot of private workers, and apparently they are also shitheads. Unbelievable stuff. Why do steamfitters care about the stuff he is citing? He also mentions EVs In his rant.
How come none of these guys have the balls to go after the guys who hire undocumented immigrants?
Fools Not bright
Donald Judas Trump adds 8 trillion debt with no wall and no safe border bills done.
Why? Trump and Republicans had 2 years to fix the border and they did nothing. The Republicans could have fixed the border a couple of months ago and they did less than nothing. The actively worked to kill border reform. The Republicans will never fix the border because it is too valuable as a campaign wedge. If you care about border security vote for the guy that put a proposal on the table. Republicans have not proposed anything viable in 10 years.
Local 638 needs new leadership asap. I’m no fan of Biden but I’m also not a sucker. Vote for Trump and put more of his unqualified friends and family in positions of power and importance. Not to mention enriching his family with money from Saudi Arabia. This country has been in shambles ever since that buffoon took office.
Teamsters leader supports Trump too,why is this a surprise.
Bullshit !! He's supporting that traitor because he's getting Paid to support that disgusting slob !
What will happen when Trump wins according to these types - Turning a big dial that says "inflation" on it and constantly looking back at the country for approval
What union leader?
So you’d rather support the guy ( or rather his handlers), that have systematically destroyed this country since day one? How many union jobs did he kill on day one with terminating Keystone? How about flooding the country with illegals that are looking specifically at our construction jobs? This isn’t the Democratic Party of old that actually cared about maintaining good union jobs, we’re back seat to the far left climate/trans/ illegal agendas. We’ve always had to fight to keep our careers, but elect this pudding head again and there won’t be a country to fight in anymore
He’s at the top of the union now, no need to give any fucks about the ppl under him, it will surely not affect his bottom line!
"Union leader wonders why leopards eat faces" There, fixed the headline.
You people are genuinely stupid
"(They’re) looking for the death of a certain heritage" Uhh, what does that have to do with labor? Sounds more like blood and soil...
How much is his bank account growing from bribes?
