Remember when the cowardservatives all claimed that the left would lose their collective shit if they didn’t win the election? And that if the conservatives lost, they’d do it with class and dignity?
Seriously…. Is there anything they say that actually honest?
They need to be dismantled, brought to justice, and exiled for weaponizing our system of law because they didn’t like the outcome.
Taxes aren’t the only major economics issue. Trump opposed NAFTA which was big in regards to the working class vote. Biden and the Democrats failed to support the rail workers last year who threatened to strike over paid sick leave. Obviously Trump’s camp is wrong on this and will make a terrible administration but Democrats are not exactly as pro-labor as they could be either.
Biden wanted to avoid the disruption that a rail strike would bring, especially when we were trying to deal with inflation, but like many things, they quietly got it done.
Sounds about right… pretty sure unions only got the concessions like a 5 day work week because they were fighting so hard for it, that there started to become grumbling about owning the means of production.
No, they ended up with 28% of their stated request. 4 days. 4. Literally every single employee, full time or part time, in my entire state gets more than that.
I also don’t see anything about the safety issues that they were planning to strike against, which is not a small issue.
Or, because if they start shouting it from the rooftops, people will point out that the Biden administration agreement gives them 4 days out of the 14 they were fighting for, and addresses none of the safety issues that they were fighting for.
One of his clerks received 7 payments for thousands of dollars via venmo labelled “Clarence Thomas Christmas party” from conservative lawyers who have argued cases before the court.
The lawyers who made the Venmo transactions were: Patrick Strawbridge, a partner at Consovoy McCarthy who recently successfully argued that affirmative action violated the US constitution; Kate Todd, who served as White House deputy counsel under Donald Trump at the time of the payment and is now a managing party of Ellis George Cipollone’s law office; Elbert Lin, the former solicitor general of West Virginia who played a key role in a supreme court case that limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions; and Brian Schmalzbach, a partner at McGuire Woods who has argued multiple cases before the supreme court.
I don’t have business before the supreme court but I sure as hell have an interest in their rulings. We all do! That’s such a BS defense they and others make.
