Clowns gonna clown. O'Brien's buddy Mullin wants to take new whacks at the economy.

If Mullen runs for president maybe Obrein will his number two!
We all know what number two means !
Don’t we?

[Nickjamesups]

Number 2 = ????

[Moyama]

Read this article and think about the impact on Local economy's, all in blue states coincidentaly, why would any union President throw the support of a Labor Union behind this man? O'Brien says because "he's a friend". Will this friend make sure that Federal workers get their contracts back? What does the union or the labor side get out of all this?

[jerseymike78]

It’s quite obvious that he has been promised something! He is looking past the teamsters union.

self made millionaires don't like blue collar people. this is way deeper than smiles and hugs

[Nickjamesups]

Are you saying that Obrien is blue collar ? If so I believe he has been way past blue collar for decades now. Neither of these two are self made , both inherited their status.

[Thisischange?]

He has a slightly longer tenure as a working Teamster than his butt boy Paff. A year or so on a truck then straight to the hall where his two bit mobbed up half-assed father ran the movies. He's the living breathing definition of a nepo Teamster. He has no connection to the working class only his fascist buddies in Trump world.

[jerseymike78]

I still maintain that Obrien is thinking he has gone as far as he can with the Teamsters. His super ego wants more! Unfortunately his UPS contract campaign was nothing but opportunity's for photos looking tough for the camera. Tome played him at every turn and the members at ups know it.
look for him to start a podcast media campaign or perhaps try his hand at acting with his buddy Warburg.

I disagree , he wants an elected position. He sees Trump as his ticket into that world.

I disagree , he wants an elected position. He sees Trump as his ticket into that world.

He picked the wrong side, the Trump enorsement is now the kiss of death.

[Nickjamesups]

I wouldn’t be too sure, let’s wait until the midterms and see just how the election process is maintained.

[WTF891]

Please vote, the orange OZHOLE is going to screw with this election. Anyone who doesn't think we are on our way to an authoritarian fascist state is sorely mistaken.

[AlJackson1962!]

Already there Brother! Whatever gains have been achieved over the decades that benefit humanity, are being shattered with the Trump/MAGA wrecking ball. They only have one interest, lining their pockets increasing corporate profits, regardless of the impact. Public health, voting rights, environmental destruction, workers' rights, discrimination based on race, gender, erasure of the history of civil rights and class struggle. What people fought decades to win, is being smashed to smithereens, just like the despotic boasts we hear everyday from Trump and his entourage. Those who don't speak up now, will regret this and the generations too young to speak up or yet to be born, will have a diminished life because of this endless corruption, greed, and armed conflict being waged for fossil fuels - Venezuela, Iran.
