September 19, 20232 yr 1 minute ago, Alpha_TATEr said: Shawn Fain: United Auto Workers president has some harsh words for Trump | CNN Politics Quote "Every fiber of our union is being poured into fighting the billionaire class and an economy that enriches people like Donald Trump at the expense of workers,” UAW President Shawn Fain said in an emailed statement. "We can’t keep electing billionaires and millionaires that don’t have any understanding what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to get by and expecting them to solve the problems of the working class.” Donald Trump doesn't understand the working man?

Even with cut backs the union has seen over the last few decades, UAW workers still make good money and have good benefits and they have pretty generous offers on the table.

Quote We can’t keep electing billionaires and millionaires that don’t have any understanding what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to get by and expecting them to solve the problems of the working class.” FWIW - i don't think unions should be allowed to endorse any candidates at any level of politics.

If executive pay rose 14% after the tax payers bailed their stupid arses out, and worker pay hasn't increased at all, I don't blame them for striking. Most CEOs are straight up bozos who have no idea what they're doing anyway.

It's almost not solvable at this point. Corporate culture not just in the U.S., but globally has prioritized short term gains (at all costs) over the long term stability of the company.

September 20, 20232 yr Yeah, Biden should have just left the American Hostages in Iran to rot forever. The GOP plan.

For as much as it’s good to have Americans be freed, I think when it comes to foreign policy regarding illegally detained US citizens, we need to have a little bit less negotiation and be a little bit more "Perdicaris alive, or Raisuni dead”.

September 21, 20232 yr Rock and roll legend Eric Clapton raised $2.2 million for Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., at a recent campaign event. Media puts out sexual assault stories on RFK Jr and Clapton in 3.....2......
September 21, 20232 yr There never was a way to block confirmations. Shumer just playing with an ignorant base. Tuberville followed a Senate rule enabling a minority member to bring a cloture vote with 16 signatures. However, once Schumer, D-N.Y., received the petition on Wednesday, he changed course and opted to sidestep Tuberville, proceeding directly to the floor votes. "And so he blinked — we forced his hand," Tuberville told Fox News Digital in an interview Thursday. "Now the American people can see they can do it, and hopefully he will continue to do it because I'm not changing my mind on the group at one time."

I didn't even have to click your link. Quote Clapton addressed the audience as follows: Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. I don't want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should vote for Enoch Powell. Enoch's our man. I think Enoch's right, I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white.

Media puts out sexual assault stories on RFK Jr and Clapton in 3.....2...... The F'ing Soros controlled liberal media sent one of their time cops back to 1999 and forced Clapton to admit he raped his wife. Those evil, sick, twisted bastids made up the whole story to sully a good man's name and they keep getting away with it! Rock superstar Eric Clapton has admitted for the first time that he was so addicted to drugs and alcohol that he beat his first wife, Patti Boyd. The Grammy-award winning guitarist tells London’s Sunday Times today that he was such a "full-blown” alcoholic that it had a devastating effect on his marriage to Boyd during the 1980s. "There were times when I took sex with my wife by force and thought that was my entitlement. I had absolutely no concern for other people,” Clapton said. https://nypost.com/1999/06/27/eric-clapton-i-beat-my-wife/
September 21, 20232 yr Military promotions are usually done in large batches, not individually. Tuberville is being a rat-fink by blocking unanimous consent The Senate could try to individually vote on each and every promotion, which would be a complete and total waste of time. Tuberville is a piece of sh!*. And anybody who supports what he's doing to our military and readiness is likewise.

Not only do you hate the military, you are a moron if you think that having a full senate vote for all three hundred nominees is a sensible option.
