Disappointed? Richard Trumka should resign. Trumka endorsed President Biden. And in three short weeks, Biden has put thousands of union members out of work with his executive orders. All to appease the anti-industry environmentalists in his cabinet. What a joke.
Trumka endorsed President Biden. Union members should haul ass to HQ and demand his ouster.
Thousands of union workers have been put out of work with the stroke of President Biden’s pen. Why won’t union leadership stand up for them?https://t.co/2bMW5JCNGe

Top US union boss Richard Trumka disappointed in Biden’s Keystone XL cancelation in new interview
By Fox News, February 10, 2021
The leader on one of the most prominent U.S. labor unions said he regretted President Biden‘s move to derail the Keystone XL pipeline project on his first day in office in a new interview.
“I wish he hadn’t done that on the first day,” AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka told journalist Jonathan Swan on “Axios on HBO.”
Labor groups have said Biden’s day-one decision to nix the Keystone pipeline eliminated 1,000 union jobs off the bat and could kill ten times more in construction jobs that were expected to be created by the project.
“I wish he had paired that more carefully with the thing that he did second, by saying here’s where we’re creating jobs,” he said.
He said Washington politicians should consider that Americans don’t want to move across the country for a new job out of the blue – something he gave Biden credit for subsequently proposing.
“We can do mine reclamation, we can fix leaks and we can fix seeps and create hundreds of thousands of jobs in doing all of that stuff,” he said.
That’s an improvement over widely panned calls for energy workers to “learn to code” and job training programs that fill equip workers with skills sought after on the opposite side of the country.
“If you destroy 100 jobs in Greene County, Pennsylvania, where I grew up, and you create 100 jobs in California, it doesn’t do those 100 families much good,” he said.
Trumka’s criticism of job training programs may have been a subtle jab at Biden, whom he frequently praises. The president once told laid-off coal miners to “learn to code.” (Former President Barack Obama has also made similar comments.)
“I said, ‘Where are the computer programmer jobs at?'” Trumka continued. “‘Uh, they’re in, uh, Oklahoma, and they’re in Vegas and they’re here.’ And I said, ‘So, in other words, what we’re going to be is unemployed miners and unemployed computer programmers as well.'”

Biden opts for energy DEPENDANCE… In thrall to middle east tyrants and Russian oligarchs… Welcome to $6 a gallon gas…
He got it up $.50/gl in a couple weeks already. Yes, the $6 is just around the corner when morons instill a puppet idiot oxygen thieving criminal in the WH!
Buyer’s remorse.
What did they think would happen when they supported a senile corrupt AF moron?

ISRAEL can take of itself. They have 3 defense systems that will annihilate any type of bomb coming at them and this makes them the most PROFICIENT DEFENSIVE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD besides having the most advanced MEDICAL, EDUCATIONAL, MILITARY, AND ECONOMY IN THE WORLD. Even the USA and Russia together cannot beat them. AND, when biden’s agenda furthers itself, America will be among those 3rd-world countries like Venezuela who are controlled by DICTATORS (biden/Congress) flexing their muscles. THIS IS WHY THEY WANT OUR GUNS. If they have our guns, then can DO ANYTHING THEY WANT.
I GUESS I AM GOING TO DIE THEN BECAUSE I WILL NOT GIVE UP MY GUNS FOR ANY REASON……………FOR ANY REASON. Molon Labe.
I will get to go to Heaven SOONER, rather than later, thank you JESUS.
Off topic – While people are distracted with the impeachment farce,
THEY ARE COMING FOR YOUR GUNS!
Most Tyrannical Gun Control Bill In History Targets The Poor,
Will Make Millions Of Felons Overnight
HR127, known as the Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act introduced by Rep. Jackson Lee, Sheila [D-TX-18], is, without a doubt, the most tyrannical gun control bill ever proposed. Like all gun control measures, this bill would hit the poor and minority communities the hardest. Its massive scope would also turn tens of millions of legal, law abiding gun owners into felons overnight.
Former vice presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party, Spike Cohen points out that “HR127 would be most heavily enforced against those with the least ability to defend themselves in court: the poor, and minorities. It will also make things much worse in marginalized communities, where only police and criminals will have guns.”
The bill forces citizens to pay $800 per year to the government just to own a gun. It also bans magazines that hold over 10 rounds — turning millions of law abiding Americans into criminals overnight. It also creates a public database of gun ownership which paves the way for big tech and woke cults to target their political rivals.

Supreme Court To Decide If Police Can Warrantlessly Raid Homes And Seize Guns Of Innocent Citizens
While the bill mentioned above is the epitome of American tyranny, it didn’t lay out any guidelines for violating a citizen’s Fourth Amendment right. Next month, however, the Supreme Court will be considering exactly that — can cops enter a home to seize guns without a warrant?
In March, the Supreme Court will hear the case of Caniglia v. Strom, which asks the question of whether a legal exception to the Fourth Amendment which allows cops to search cars without a warrant requirement extends to the home.
The case has been making its way through the courts, with the courts ruling in favor of warrantless searches. The federal court just below the Supreme Court, the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it is fine and dandy for cops to warrantlessly search your home and take your guns because they need “elbow room” to provide safety.
“At its core, the community care taking doctrine is designed to give police elbow room to take appropriate action when unforeseen circumstances present some transient hazard that requires immediate attention. Understanding the core purpose of the doctrine leads inexorably to the conclusion that it should not be limited to the motor vehicle context. Threats to individual and community safety are not confined to the highways,” the court wrote.
As Forbes points out, unlike the “exigent circumstances” and “emergency aid” exceptions, the community care taking exception is not limited to circumstances where there is no time to apply for a warrant. And the question of what sort of care taking falls under this exception is extremely vague.
Will the police be able to use it to, for example, conduct warrantless searches of political protesters’ homes to make sure they aren’t planning on violent behavior at their next political rally?
We have already seen tech giants like Facebook hand over the private messages of those who talked about the events of January 6. If this ruling is upheld, it could pave the way for cops to raid the homes of those who engage in peaceful discourse based solely on the premise that violence might happen.
Humor break –
They want to get them registered and then start targeting them for confiscation for any reason they see fit!!!! The issue is if this passes then the STATE’s rights to deny gun ownership would be invalid for sure!!!! Sounds like a bunch of BS and the name says it all!!!!!!
Trumpka managed to amass a fortune worth 10’s of million$. I didn’t know labor union boss position paid so well. He must have been receiving XL kickbacks.
Trumka is posturing. He and the other union heads knew exactly what Biden ran on. Biden was very open about destroying Keystone Pipeline jobs – and any other jobs it can destroy in the name of fighting climate change.
Trumka will settle down when the CCP check clears his offshore account.
Trumka should change places with J. Hoffa.

You spelled Hunter Xiden wrong, common mistake.
All caps, sign of your Trump illness, if you support President Trump, it will cure you.
You REALLY didn’t believe that biden had your best interests at heart, did ya? IF SO, you were fooled and that is on YOU, TRUMKA. There is NO EXCUSE for ignorance anymore. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY WAYS TO GET VALID, TRUTHFUL INFORMATION THESE DAYS. AND, if you do not hear BOTH SIDES OF A PROBLEM, THEN YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IGNORANT and that too, IS ON YOU AND NO ONE ELSE.
biden/harris are MARXIST COMMUNISTS. They GOT YOU TO VOTE FOR THEM and now they can tell you to shut up and sit down. THAT IS WHO THEY ARE; people without truth, integrity, and honor. When someone gives their word to you and then does not fulfill that, THEY HAVE NO INTEGRITY OR HONOR. THAT IS ON YOU FOR NOT LOOKING INTO THEIR HISTORY.
THINK ABOUT THAT, TRUMKA. Think long and hard about who you are listening to (CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC) AND WHO YOU VOTED FOR.
ARE YOU SORRY NOW? If not, YOU WILL BE REALLY, REALLY SOON as this administration will begin their MARXIST agenda to KEEP YOU IN YOUR PLACE……………way below them.
I was saying from the start, anyone who voted for Xiden was basically voting against AMERICA’s best interests.
Gas went up again today too. It is $2.399 now. I have roughly 250 gallons I bought for $1.99 and I will start using it now. I have been saving it since it was still fairly reason able but it is time now. “Stinkfinger Joe” will break everyone.
Our is up to $3/gl for premium and that is up $.50 in 3 weeks….just getting started for sure.
We are now living in Amerika. Richard Trumpka is a Bolshevik fraud. He doesn’t give a sh*t about his membership. Like all Bolsheviks, all he cares about is increasing his power hold. How has this fraud held onto power so long? Why isn’t there a union revolt? What is wrong with the membership? Do they want to see our economy get hollowed out again? Do they never learn? Are they a bunch of sleep being lead to their slaughter?
Wake up, America, your capitol is under military occupation. Ask yourself why?
They use razor wire against American citizens and throw open the citadel gates to foreign invaders to rape and pillage everything we’ve worked hard to create!
You supported Xiden, you got Xiden. Enjoy. At least you got rid of the nasty “orange man” that got you the job you USED to have (sarc).
Trumka’s “remorse” is the clearest indicator yet that, if you persist in lying down with dogs, eventually you will end up sleeping with the fishes. (This is the next level up – or down, depending on your P.O.V. – from “waking up with fleas,” hence the “fishes” analogy is apt.)
Biden IS creating more jobs. The panhandling industry has already increased in Boston tenfold…..
All over the whole country!
Trumka is as corrupt as his Democrat party handlers, he lied to his union members about Jihadi Joe Biden, and is personally responsible for every union worker who loses his job because of Trumka’s support for the new American Ayatollah, Joe Biden.
Trumpka is just like the Bolsheviks of old Russia – make a union so the union bosses can replace royalty and live like royalty – and now he tells party Secretary Biden he is disappointed in him?
Trumpka is upsewt about Shutting down XL? What was Trumpka thinking in the debates when Biden told Trump in the debates that he was going to shut down the Oil industry !!! Whats Trumpka going to do then? By then Trumpka will be exiled to a re-education camp if “Trumpka the walking coronary” even lives so long
The situation in the US today with the stolen 2020 election and the imposed fraudster Biden regime is hallucinating for the Patriots, a never seen Venezuela spectacle in US political history that screams for a quick solution.
Even more disgusting then the democrat party politcal machine fraud is the corroboration by the rino republicans like Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney & 39 other senators because it means the republican party as a patriotic unified force does not exists anymore.
One third of the republican house members and 42 republican senators support the Biden criminal fraud, they support the disenfranchisement of the political will of the majority of the US patriot voters. These rino republicans are criminals too.
President Donald J. Trump is and remains the President of the United States 2020-2024 but is now in exile.
The will of the People of the United States is unalienable meaning the political actions of the fraudster regime are illigitimate and touches on the principle of NO TAXATION ! WITHOUT REPRESENTATION !
Your silly unions supported this bum and now you can reap the rewards. You have no beef, Trumka. At least Trump tried to keep the pipeline construction moving forward. It’s simple…quit voting for and supporting socialists who want to destroy jobs.
Another moron since the delusional peepads stated right up front that he would do just that!!!!!!
If the Republicans in office had any backbone, they would IMMEDIATELY start impeachment proceedings on Biden!!
I like how he is “disappointed” after whole labor movement was shown big middle finger by the guy who they voted for.
If you voted for Bidet, I have no sympathy, no empathy for you. You’re just a bunch of dumb losers. The trouble is you didn’t know who your friends were.
Disappointed, I would have been furious. It deserve right that they didn’t back Trump.
Hilarious!!!
“’I wish he hadn’t done that (cancelled the pipeline) on the first day,’ said Trumka.”
Yeah, he should have waited 5 days.
and this has nothing to do with appeasing environmentalists. The democrat party couldn’t care less about environmentalists. This has to do with appeasing globalists and in particular the Chinese communist party. Those entities absolutely despised American energy independence.
Not just thousands out of work but millions. Think logistics. Everything and everyone that supplied the man in the field. From glove makers, welding rod and wire makers. welding machine, generators, the day to day consumables tires lubricating oils on and on and on. Ditto on the border wall. I estimate some 3 to 4 million people fired laid off or reduced hours. Now you say how do I come up with this figure? History. World War II. For every fighting GI in the field there were 7 supplying him. Think tooth brushes, toilet paper, dental and medical, safety gear on and on. These people hate us and they want to kill us. How do they do that? Regulate us. In the end means they starve us do death.
