Richard Trumka, the head of the largest labor union in the US, had harsh words Wednesday for the members of the Trump administration.
Trumka, the president of the AFL-CIO, told an audience at a Christian Science Monitor event that it's difficult for him to work with either of the two major factions in the White House.
"You had two factions in the White House. You had one faction that actually had some of the policies we would have supported on trade, on infrastructure — but they turned out to be racist. And on the other hand, you had people that weren't racist, but they were Wall Streeters. And the Wall Streeters began to dominate the administration and have moved his agenda back to everything he fought against in the election."
Hard to argue with that actually.
Interesting that Trumka felt that the folks that had the most in common with the union are racists. He might want to check his charter.
Trumka by the was WAS part of Trump's manufacturing jobs council, right up until he learned his was working for the reincarnation of Adolph Hitler.
The guy that is to be all about MAGA job, jobs, jobs for America - HE HATES HIS JOB.

How Harvey Will Change Texas
ReplyDeleteThe storm’s most lasting legacy might be the end of the Lone Star State’s rugged individualism.
...It will be interesting to watch Texas politics square itself with reality. Yes, self-reliance is a virtue. No man or woman, however, is an island—at least not on purpose. Harvey has proved that. So, if ever the era of going it entirely on your own in Texas ever existed, it’s over.

(Nothing like punishing babies for being carried across a border without their consent.)
"Trump had pledged on the election campaign trail to scrap all of former President Barack Obama’s executive orders on immigration, including the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or “Dreamers,” program."
"U.S. Representative Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 Democrat in the House of Representatives, released a statement expressing concern about reports that Trump may terminate the program, saying this would be “devastating” to many Dreamers.
“In the absence of Congress enacting bipartisan immigration reform, which must remain our goal, the President ought to continue providing peace of mind to DREAMers that they need not live in fear of being sent away from the only home many of them have ever known,” Hoyer said."
Yeah, well that would require a few things. That you're not a White Nationalist NAZI and that you had some compassion. Sorry, but Trump isn't even close.
