Yo, chill, Trumka ... let me buy you a drink.

You want your regular - vinegar and water?

Projecting as always.

GOP:"Okay we'll pass funding for this part..."

Commu... Er Dems:”NO! Fund our stuff or we're gonna hold our breath!!"

Even funnier is the "well they better fund everything or they're REALLY gonna get it at the ballot box!" nonsense. Because, of course, the Dems are very concerned for the GOP's electoral future... /s

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. ... I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”

I thought the unions were working with the Zerocare people for their own exemptions and waivers. They must have reached a deal already.

Hopefully, one day soon a miracle will happen and those workers will “smarten up” and realize how they are all being used by the leadership to function as nothing more than an arm of the RAT party.

Let’s see Mr. Trumka every public opinion poll in this country states that the American people, by and large, are opposed to Obamacare. The “temper tantrum” you are referring to is on your side of the aisle because you and the Democratic Party have lost your free access to your personal ATM machine, aka the American taxpayers. All of that free gravy you’ve been feasting on is not available now.

Not everyone can get a presidential waver like the unions Mr Trumka. Must be nice to be a Party Member comrade.

I was sucked into the UMW against my will. Long story. The problem with the mountains is the same problem ghetto blacks have. Everyone that ever made a dime stole it from someone else and the powers that be are holding me down. They are good people in general, salt of earth types but they hold on to these ideas thru generations. Heard this stuff for years.

It does seem like something the man child president would do, now don’t, Trumka?

Oh, well isn’t that special; Fred Flintstone decided to chime in.

Go back to your hole you Union Maggot!

So, Mr. Trumka, why don’t ask the Senate Dems why they are acting like 4 year olds?

Especially the Searchlight NV village idiot.

This is what happens when you don’t go full court press from the get go.

Our side isn’t exactly blameless here. Did it fight tooth and nail to defeat Obamacare all along? Not in my opinion it didn’t.

Wait a minute. Are you telling me that a communist union boss doesn’t like Republicans?

Temper tantrum

Of course union thugs are always on their best behavior.
