Has anyone ever seen Trumka and Michael Moore together?
“His nomination would dramatically mobilize the Democratic base.”
Back in 2009, the union thugs at SEIU tried to disrupt our Tea Party meeting. We kicked their fat asses. There’s no reason to fear these 50 IQ apes.
He feels this way because he didn’t kiss union ass. He reduced it.
if you are taking flak, you must be over the target...
Wow.. I just destroyed Obama and save the country.. who knew it was that easy!"
Nice job! Snicker... ;>)
“peaceful pro-worker activists in his home state”
Those “peaceful” activists did millions of dollars worth of damage.
What planet is the author from? Definitely one where they didn’t get accurate news accounts of the thuggery that went on when union members threw a hissy fit in Wisconsin.
Rolling Stoned?

Didn’t Trumka get some kind of Communist award??
Richard Trumka, the Secretary-Treasurer of the AFL-CIO, has been charged as Carey’s co-conspirator in the kickback scheme. Five Carey associates have already pleaded guilty, including Carey’s former campaign manager Jere Nash, political consultant Martin Davis, Teamsters official William Hamilton, and fundraiser Michael Ansara. Trumka and Ansara were top fundraisers for Al Gore in his failed year 2000 Presidential campaign.
Former Teamsters President Indicted On Federal Charges
While at the helm of the AFL-CIO, Trumka helped repeal a longtime rule that banned Communists and fellow-travelers from leadership positions in the organization and its unions. The move to open the previously patriotic union to subversives delighted the Communist Party USA. “The radical shift in both leadership and policy is a very positive, even historic change,” CPUSA National Chairman Gus Hall said in 1996.
Trumka bears more than a passing resemblance to legendary gangster Al Capone, who ruled Chicagoland with an iron fist during the Prohibition Era.
Like Capone, Trumka stays close to his politicians. Trumka brags about his coziness with the Obama administration. “I’m at the White House a couple times a week – two, three times a week,” he said. “I have conversations every day with someone in the White House or in the administration. Every day.” Soon after being inaugurated, President Obama named Trumka to his Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is akin to inviting an arsonist to advise on fire safety.
Both Capone and Trumka share an irredeemable corruptness. Capone bought and sold politicians by the dozen, while Trumka has on more than one occasion refused to cooperate with investigations into union corruption. Trumka indicated that he would have invoked the Fifth Amendment if he had been subpoenaed by Congress to testify about money-laundering schemes in 1998. His boss, John Sweeney, covered for him instead.
Union Gangsters: Richard Trumka
Organized labor, masters of aggressive politics, had its share of triumphs in 2010. With Democrats, their natural ally, the previous year having taken control of the White House and the Senate while increasing their advantage in the House, this was to be expected. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and other union officials used their window of opportunity to pressure Congress into passing a health care overhaul mandating unprecedented degrees of government intrusion, and by extension, major opportunities for unionization of the health care labor force. They also secured key presidential appointments. . .
Union leaders put their penchant for political backroom dealing to good use in 2010, helping to deliver for constituents health care "reform" legislation that will cost taxpayers $940 billion over the next decade (if not more), and with far less consumer choice. Richard Trumka and soon-to-depart Service Employees International Union (SEIU) President Andrew Stern operated as virtual White House lobbyists to shape the final package, which the House of Representatives passed in March by a slim 219-212 margin. Parliamentary maneuvering led by union ally Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., had short-circuited a Senate filibuster. It's not as if union bosses in Reid's home state forgot their benefactor come election time. Highly persuasive evidence emerged that SEIU-affiliated workers in Clark County, where three-fourth's of Nevada's population resides, rigged voting machines to bring about Reid's improbable come-from-behind win against GOP challenger Sharron Angle.
Rolling Stone is ridiculous. A recent issue had Kim Kardashian on the cover accompanied by info on a Suge Knight story. That’s where we are. From a magazine that once featured Bob Dylan on its cover to Kim Kardashian. Reflect on that. Reflect on that demographic and you begin to see why Obama was elected twice. Absurdity!
Suge = sooj
I heard and liked Walker’s announcement speech later in the afternoon.
Wow that’s devastating - I used to think “your mother wears combat boots” was outrageous back on the playground in second grade, but this tops that for sure....
"Obama is the worst president ever."
Done. He's destroyed. We can all move on now.
Rolling Stone? Really?
You’d have to pay ME to read their idea of “journalism”.
Rolling Stone is good for lining bird cages maybe
Yep...Me thinks the left is skeered of him and a few others in this match...
Notice one thing...The left has pretty much said zip sero nada on Jebby, I wonder why???
“Good point. Though I’m told Walker is not particularly charismatic.”
He’s no Reagan but a rutabaga is more charismatic than what the dims are offering up so far.
