"Joe’s a lot like our firefighters"

You mean firefighters also like to grope little girls?

Cops are union, too. But cops understand the importance of abiding by the rule of law.

If anything gets banned it should be public employee unions.

As a reminder. Right after 911, the IAFF gave donations from the public to Hillary Clinton for her senatorial campaign, instead of the families.

This is absolutely true, and I know this because that is who I donated to, thinking it would go to the families of fallen firefighters. When I found out where it went I sent a scathing letter to the then President of the IAFF. I received an equally scathing response from him, assuring me that electing Hillary Clinton was the best thing for them.

Why is it “International” and not “National”? Representing other nations Firefighters I can see them endorsing Bitme.

However I am highly skeptical of US Firefighters being behind him.

The IAFF--notice it's the International Association of Fire Fighters--the Commie-infested union that skews Democrat and beyond.

The IAFF doesn't represent the real, polished, kick-butt, military-style fire departments like New York's FDNY, which has its own 17,000-member union called the Uniformed Firefighters' Association (UFA). The UFA split off from the IAFF in 1980. The rank-and-file and leadership of the UFA, like America's firemen in general, tend to be very patriotic and conservative.

” The executive board of the International Association of Firefighters met and voted”?
And the rank and file firefighters?
I’d bet the farm at least half of the rank and file support The Donald.
Unions suck

“Union - when two turds reconnect after the drop.”

Joe’s more like a floater that you just can’t flush away.

Considering how many firemen Obama’s spiritual cousins killed, you would think they would not support Biden, his loyal perv!

I did not notice the “International”. That makes sense. I shouldn’t have painted with such a broad brush.

My maternal grandfather was a part-time community firefighter.

What the hell is an international firefighter?

Nothing new. A union endorses a Democrat.

He’s a creepy, plagiarizing, dishonest, Machiavellian, Leftist demagogue.

Government employee unions should be abolished. The biggest conflict of interest in history.

When was the last time the “International Firefighters”
endorsed a candidate that wasn’t a Democrat or a
RINO?

But somehow the Shitbergers of the world keep getting re-elected.
