2. K&R

[LonePirate]

3. We need more of this from the public and unions everywhere.

[BoRaGard]

4. Scabby repube billionaires trying to pretend they care

about working people

[brakester]

28. The UAW REP. got silence

when he was talking about what the union does for working people.

[BoRaGard]

31. Reality shocks the repubes in silence

They will never discuss. Too painful. They just move on to Hulk Hogan displaying his armpits.

[ProfessorPlum]

32. You mean the Teamsters head at the RNC?

[brakester]

44. Yes. NT

[raccoon]

5. Good for them! they know Dotard doesn't like unions.

[Omnipresent]

6. Convict wouldn't deliver for the unions...

I’m sure he hasn’t loved them, when he’s tried to do business with them.
He stiffs private sector contractors and companies that have done work for him.

[Traurigkeit]

7. TSF not a billionaire/millionaire, just scum

[malaise]

Trump --- Payback from the UAW for earlier dissing.

[Hekate]

12. Here's to the union

[peggysue2]

13. LOL!

The UAW gave Trump some Union reality:

You're a scab, dude. You think we can't see who you are, dumbass?

Love it!

[groundloop]

14. It's too bad Sean O'Brien chose to speak at the GQP lie-fest.

[Pinback]

37. Shades of Zell Miller. (nt)

[groundloop]

38. Good ol' Zig Zag Zell..... there's a name I haven't heard in awhile.

[Pinback]

40. Ugh, once my senator and at one time a decent Democrat. (nt)

[TBF]

15. Amen - my dad said the same thing when Trump ran the first time

"he's not for the workers" - the old union guys know exactly who he is

[karynnj]

16. Great response, Trump never was a friend of workers, unionized or not

I remembered my articles about how he used undocumented Polish workers to demolish the Bonwit Teller department store that stood where he built Trump Towers. Reading the NYT article on his paying over a million dollars after he lost a case, everything speaks to how bad he was - he paid them about half union rate, then stopped paying them, threatened to get them deported etc. Trump Paid Over $1 Million in Labor Settlement, Documents Reveal https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/27/nyregion/trump-tower-illegal-immigrant-workers-union-settlement.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

From memory, he had promised NYC to save some pieces of the BT building and give them to one of the city's museums, but he simply let them be destroyed.

[Captain Zero]

17. Right immigrants are ok when he wants to hire them. MaraLoco is full of visa workers

I'll bet there are illegals working there too.

Biden should have ICE check up on that.

[PatSeg]

18. Yes, that is what I recall reading about the Bonwit Teller building

Trump doesn't care about workers and never has. He only cares about how much labor he can get out of them for the least amount of money. The way he treated those Polish workers was criminal, literally. What kind of monster does that to people?

[The Grand Illuminist]

19. The sad part is there are those members that will vote Trump.

They need to be weeded out, canned, and deny them the right to ever hold a job again.

[stopdiggin]

24. not sure if that's a vision (or a platform) that I can really get behind -(nt)-

[chia]

20. Bwa ha ha WE NEED MORE RESPONSES LIKE THIS FROM EVERYONE - We have to drown out the media

who's driving the doomsday message...

[Norbert]

21. I don't understand, after all he did to help the auto workers from 2017-2021

What did he do to help? Lordstown. Uhh! Bad example. I forgot.

[stopdiggin]

22. and routinely screwed contractors and employees

on his properties and business dealings.

(people know who this man is - - problem is, there's just far to many that don't CARE .. )

[Emile]

23. That's one thing I really admire about Joe, he is on the side of workers.

When I seen the first president ever to stand on a union strike line, it actually brought tears to my old eyes.

[Native]

25. sick burn!

[jeffreyi]

26. Short, sweet, and to the point.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Mini-Thiel Vance, the Silicon Valley oligarch, making faux working class pitch

tRump's Project 2025 will raise taxes on middle class and working poor, drastically slash corporate taxes, and give the rich a large tax cut.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

29. TFG is a Scab

[Bayard]

30. A scab....

Isn't that what workers are called who cross a picket line?

[Skittles]

41. yes

Trump is a scab because HE DOES NOT WORK FOR AMERICA

[Rubyshoo]

33. UAW Gives Its Answer

?si=JV4_1rmd11QJraP0

[Hermit-The-Prog]

34. Our President Joe is a UNION man and the billionaires do not like that.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

35. Could have added, "And we know which side he's on.

Not ours."

[SWBTATTReg]

36. And I know we all remember this, when scab djt hired a bunch of people to sit on the stage, pretend to be union

workers and hold up tRUMP etc. election signs. Everyone saw through this though...

As predicted, tRUMP is lying, cheating, yelling, screaming, anything that grabs voters' attention to get reelected. It won't work, we all know of tRUMP's filthy schemes. Put this animal to sleep and out to pasture forever, we don't such a disruptive influence on American values. Keep up the suing, keep up the law cases where tRUMP clearly broke the law and wasn't under the fake umbrella of the Supreme Court. Sue his ass into the ground (pardon my language).

And now, perhaps that Pres. Biden seems to recognize that the Supreme Court has gone rogue, maybe he'll do something that will take the pundits back a step or two, and get things straighten out again w/ our 3-tier government.

[NBachers]

39. My strike sign from when I was a Teamster in a newspaper strike - As relevant now as it was then:

[ReadytoRetire]

42. Good on the UAW!

A most excellent reply!

[TomSlick]

43. Why do the Teamsters support Trump?

It makes no sense.

[SomedayKindaLove]

45. They haven't supported anyone...yet

FWIW his speech made a lot of people in that room plenty uncomfortable.

[Bluethroughu]

47. Sean O'Brian trolled them at their convention to their face.

It was a great speech, and I was a little pissed at first...why would a strong Union leader speak to the scabs that vote against unions most of the time, but he put them on blast, and the Republicans cleared up any ambiguities they've used to keep union members from voting in their best interests.

Toward the end I thought the big hook would come out from behind the curtain, they could not contain their disdain for the working class for all to see on national TV.

[TomSlick]

49. Interesting speech. I assumed too much from him speaking at the RNC convention in prime time.

I was amused by the applause; which grew fainter toward the end. There were many in the crowd that either didn't understand O'Brian or GOP policies. Trump and Vance never had a clue.

O'Brian engaged in a lot of bothsiderism.

[Bluethroughu]

50. It was a bit upfront, but I think it was to get a sense of trust,

So they would at least hear him out.

Their were a few red hats agreeing and tuned in, looking around the room to very few else agreeing. People saw that all over the country.

[Bluethroughu]

46. Cry of the People, by John G. Neihardt

Tremble before your chattle,
Lord of the scheme of things!
Fighters of all earth's battles,
Ours is the might of kings!
Guided by seers and sages,
The world's heart-beat for a drum,
Snapping the chains of ages,
Out of the night we come!

Lend us no ear that pities!
Offer no almoner's hand!
Aims for the builders of cities!
When will you understand?
Down with your pride of birth
And your golden gods of trade!
A man is worth to his mother, earth,
All that a man has made!


We are the workers and makers!
We are no longer dumb!
Tremble, O Shirkers and Takers!
Sweeping the earth--We come!
Ranked in the world-wide dawn,
Marching into the day!
The night has gone and the sword is drawn
And the scabbard is thrown away!

[blue-wave]

48. The UAW knows who is and who is not

on their side. Thank You UAW!!!!

[Blue Owl]

51. SCAB!
