They're not stupid (Teamsters). No different than the Taxi Union lobby here in BC where they donated money to *BOTH* major parties back in the day.

He's played the bigger than jesus card and is being looked at by evangelicals as the next coming of Jesus ...... He's got a good future in big church evangelical snake oil preaching when his next term is done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's likely just trying to play both sides of the aisle now. It's still a dangerous shift for the Democrats though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24K Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 9 minutes ago, Sabrefan1 said: Well. This can't be good for Democrats. This is a still of the President of the Teamsters Union at the RNC thanking the Republicans in the Senate for their help. Here he is praising Trump's VP pick right before the RNC convention. The guy is playing both sides. Also requested to speak at the DNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, they better reconsider. The Teamsters historically worked against Republicans. Even considering doing what he did tonight was unthinkable.

Teamsters (or rather more importantly, their leader Hoffa) backing Nixon didn't help. I *think* Hoffa loathed Kennedy even that early.

But he was also an unusual speaker to be at the RNC. I thought he gave a good speech. Talking about corporate greed and protecting workers' rights.

the destroyer of worlds Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 The family of Corey Comperatore have had only one candidate for POTUS attemp to contact them. That candidate was Biden. The family refused his call because the victim was a Republican. Sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really at least Union wise. Dem still getting pretty much all the endorsements from unions. Teamsters despite the RNC speech hadn't endorsed anyone yet. Dems are losing the more rural working class like truckers, farmers, oil/miners largely due to push of environmental initiatives that directly negatively affect those people but largely retained the more service oriented and high skill working class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBH1926 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 35 minutes ago, Sabrefan1 said: I wouldn't know. I only occasionally see them around. Buffalo cold winters and EV's aren't the best combination. It's the biggest reason that I decided against buying an EV a while back. It would be fine in a heated garage, but I'd rather not watch the percentage charge drop like a rock as soon as I'm on the road for any length of time. They are more of a fashion statement in my neck of the woods. Weather here in Chicago is not exactly kind to EV’s, doesn’t snow as much as Buffalo though. Prices are crazy for some of them though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And basically drive recklessly. At least majority of the ones I see on the road. Some dildo driving very fancy Tesla cut me off the other day, after I laid on my horn, he proceeded to give me the hardest break check. After that I extended him New Jersey salute and laid on the horn again, he literally stopped in the middle of the intersection and blocked me for like 10 seconds. As I opened my window and began yelling and cursing at him, I was hoping that he was going to get out of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This illustrated who should and shouldn't be POTUS. One guy shows compassion. The other guy shows he really doesn't give a crap. It also shows just how terrible the political divide is, and how sad some people are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather here in Chicago is not exactly kind to EV’s, doesn’t snow as much as Buffalo though. Prices are crazy for some of them though! When I looked at them 2-3 years ago, they still held their value well. These days, not so much, especially the new Cybertruck. My biggest concern was the weather. My second biggest concern was that few mechanics around here work on them. Then add to that how much of a pain they can be to get insured and it wasn't worth it to me. I don't need any more toys, I'm starting to get too old for them, and that's what it would be is a seasonal toy that I would get bored with soon enough.
