    The head of the Teamsters being Sean O’Brien is even better than the head of the UAW being named Shawn Fain.

    Today is another example of why Congress shouldn’t be in session for 5 weeks straight. Weird things happen.

    I am sorry you have to do your fucking job for more than five weeks in a row.

      It’s insane how normalized it is that the leaders of our country work half the year while pulling in salaries (and I’m just talking about their actual salaries, not the millions they make from shady shit)

      Meanwhile most of them would scoff and call you naive if you advocated for a 4 day work week

    This is why we need strong, powerful leaders in government, like Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camancho, to put the smackdown on these belligerent man-children.

    “Thankfully a woman with smeared mascara and a Hooter’s top burst into the hearing, shouting, ‘Markwayne, No!’, effectively deescalating the confrontation”

    Man, politics are wild

    Republicans hate labor unions so much they want to physically assault their leader. If you’re an American and a worker you should take note.
