In my experience blue collar union workers are fucking idiots when it comes to politics. Had the shop steward with a Trump, Teamsters, and hamer/sickle bumper sticker.
Dude, when have Republicans supported unions? Guy was making $38/hr and he could be making $14 at the non-union warehouse next to us. Truly voting for the leopard.
No shit.the idiots think that because they are on “Team Red,” they will get excluded from the consequences.
Nope, buddy.
We in the same canoe, and you keep drilling holes in it.
Republicans. When you care more about taking away another’s rights than protecting your own.
Article says that he’s also requested to speak at the Dem convention. So it’s not that he’s supporting El Presidente Convicto, but rather taking the opportunity to speak to a captive audience. Good luck to him, but I’m not gonna hold my breath that he’s actually going to convince anyone there to stop sucking corporate cock.
I would hope he wouldn’t be that moronic as to do that. If for some reason he does I would hope the teamsters would vote to expel him because he would be clearly not working for their benefit anymore. There’s no amount of spin at this point that would allow anyone to make a good argument that Trump isn’t out to destroy all unions. Except the pigs of course.
Well, that sounds really fucking weird.
Lot of trucker Trumpers. For some reason.
They have lot lizard and amphetamine addictions in common… 🤷♂️
The fuck he will, O’Brian aint gonna do that lmao

O’Brien has invited Biden, Trump and the independent presidential candidates Robert F Kennedy Jr and Cornel West to speak to his group. O’Brien drew anger from the union’s progressive members after he held a private meeting with Trump earlier this year.
You sure about that?
No, Im wrong
Neat, haven’t seen that in a while
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sean O’Brien, the president of the Teamsters union, will speak at the Republican national convention in Milwaukee next month, a move that could spell trouble for Joe Biden’s support among blue-collar workers ahead of the November election.
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, announced on Friday on his Truth Social platform that O’Brien had accepted his invitation to speak at the convention and that he was looking forward to seeing him represent the Teamsters.
The Teamsters spokesperson said O’Brien had made an identical request to appear at the Democratic national convention in Chicago the following month.
O’Brien has invited Biden, Trump and the independent presidential candidates Robert F Kennedy Jr and Cornel West to speak to his group.
O’Brien’s appearance at the Republican national convention would challenge Biden’s historic alliance with organized labor and threatens to undercut his claim that he is the most pro-union president in US history.
Biden kicked off his re-election campaign last June at a union-backed rally, and has since been endorsed by the United Auto Workers (UAW) after he walked the picket line with union president Shawn Fain during its strike against America’s three biggest car manufacturers.
