The End Of Hillary? Teamsters "Snub" Clinton, Meet With Trump

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As if the collapse of her poll numbers and trust factor were not already accelerating, it appears Hillary Clinton may have just seen yet another nail in the coffin of her run for Presidency 2.0. As Fox News reports, The Teamsters union’s general executive board voted unanimously Tuesday, 26-0, to hold off on endorsing Clinton at its meeting in Charleston, South Carolina. Furthermore, to rub further salt in that wound, the union is seeking a "sit-down" with Donald Trump.

 

As Fox News reports...

As Breitbart adds,

The Teamsters union is withholding an endorsement for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, further eroding Clinton’s support from Big Labor.

 

The Teamsters union’s general executive board voted unanimously Tuesday, 26-0, to hold off on endorsing Clinton at its meeting in Charleston, South Carolina. Fox News reports that the vote was meant as “an intentional snub” of Clinton for backing away from her previous support for the job-creating Keystone pipeline.

 

The union is holding off until union-friendly Vice President Joe Biden makes a decision about whether or not to run for president.

 

The union also seeks a “sit down” meeting with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whose recent tax reform proposal drastically lowers the corporate and individual tax rates for the middle class in an effort to spur job growth, savings, and investment.

Clinton’s relationship with Big Labor has been rocky.

 Last month, the National Nurses Union endorsed Democratic challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16%
 over Clinton.

 

AFL-CIO head Richard Trumpka threatened to sit out the 2016 election until Clinton backed away from her support of President Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, which unions strongly opposed.

Hitlery for Prison 2016 - INDEED!!!

Trump needs to tell the mafia gangsters running the unions to take a fucking hike.  He of all people should have no sympathy what-so-ever for shitbag, extortionist union bosses and a good number of their shitbag, useless, worthless "workers", having had to do business with their kind in NYC and NJ for so many years. 

IMHO, Trump will see his poll numbers implode if he starts doing any deals w/ the unions mafia thugs. 

Don't get me wrong...union workers are not the problem...I'm sure quite a lot of them are still hard workers, etc...and they still buy into the "union" thing as being necessary and all that crap...but they aren't necessary and they should not have the kind of political power that they have with corrupt local, city, state, and fed-scum government collaborators and other mafia shitbags. 

Trump should privately or publicly tell those fuckers to back off.  No special treatment...tell them to keep their donation dollars and sit quiet in the back of the room, take a number like any other shmoe, and maybe he'll speak with them whenever the fuck he feels like it.

This is the exact same way Trump needs to treat all Federal gov-scum unions as well.  It's nothing but a fucking scam to milk more from the tax payers and build the gov-gang up with bloated salaries and 100's of thousands of useless people telling the rest of us what to do and how to do it while they don't pay taxes and sit around on the job all day getting paid watching porn.

Never understood why big labor sided with the Democrats when they are pushing for free trade and open borders to guarantee cheap labor to replace American workers.

Just another reason why American labor unions (other than Public Employee Unions) have become irrelevant...

Very simple once you understand what is going on at the top of Union leadership. First, you have to understand this: They could give two good shits about the American worker. They are in bed with the Democrap party for one reason: Both are subsidiaries of the parent organization: THE  COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST INTERNATIONAL. Think I'm being a bit radical? Whoever lived at my address before I moved in forgot to move their subscription of a magazine called:" Solidarity". It is the propaganda rag of the UAW {United Auto Workers union}. Before I called them and asked them to stop sending their trash to my address anymore, I read the three or four copies that were delivered to my door. Complete socialist doctrine, period. The unions believe in spreading socialism GLOBALLY, they know the US labor force has already been captured. They are just another tentacle of the globalist agenda. Their magazine so much as said so.

The leadership know they can confuse "the useful idiots" like yourself easily by playing word games.  What socialism is SOLD as being, and what it has ALWAYS been in reality is for anyone to see. IT HAS NEVER BEEN WHERE THE WORKERS OWN THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION, EVER, ANYWHERE. That is just the sales pitch for the lemmings. Take your pick of any socialist/communist country. They all have similar features: The party fat cats live like the kings and princes of the days of old, while the worker {who they claim it is all being done for} lives a sustenance lifestyle. You have bought the lie hook line and sinker. WHO IS THE STUPID FUCK NOW PUNK?

If the Debt created was backed by real money (money backed by real and precious assets), the tactical bankruptcies would indeed be a moral hazard.

As it is, given that modern banking Debt is conjured out of thin air, it is not necessarily a moral hazard.  Under the right circumstances, it is merely turning the tables on the fiat crooks, and may be likened to the Gambler beating the House for a change.

Many ZH readers still fail to grasp this subtlety (Real vs Fraudulent Debt, based on Real vs Fraudulent Money), as their childhood programming (subroutines) seem stuck in a "DO Loop" of Real Money and Real Debt.

In short: If he beat The Fiat Casino, and they let him get away with it, then good for him.  Don't hate the occasional winner, if you are stuck in the same Casino as everyone else.  That would indicate either mental immaturity or incompetence, or a case of the Stockholm Syndrome.

Truth is, it doesn't matter who gets in. All they're good for is to stand in front of the cameras and look presidential, and shake hands with other world "leaders". Anyone that threatens the oil/dollar/military-industrial complex is toast. If you don't believe it just ask Gaddafi, or Saddam.

Obama was always the chosen one. Look at his career path - such as it is. He's been groomed for this since childhood. He might have been a surprise for the Clintonistas, but the Pharisees had this planed for decades.

Romney was hand selected by the GOP 'progressives' to lose to Obama in 2012. This is because a POC like Obama can dismantle the country far more easily than a white male can, since the Marxist media stands ever at the ready to shriek RAYCISSSSS'!! like a 3 year old with a skinned knee. Those same media minions will just as readily scream SEXIST PIG!! for Hitlery.

However, I don't think Prez Hitlery is in the cards, for the simple reason that the oligarchs don't want the Clintons to join them on Olympus. I think the Clintons have delusions of being the 14th family, and there is simply no more room for any new gods. The Clintons have served their purpose, and they'll either accept their peon status in the NWO, or they'll get nail guns for Xmas.

You can safely discount a Wookie presidency for the same reason. The Obamas, like the Clintons, are merely Rockefeller/Rothschild tools, and are in no way seen as equals by the psychopathic Pharisees.

Think as you wish, but this is the truth.

Anyways,,, tariffs are illegal to impose under all those trade treaties the government signed onto. Probably get into office and say "Gee I didn't know that!!"

Someone's been peeking in my window.  How did you know that I often have my hands on my helmeted member?   Of course, my helmeted member has ten times more common sense than the best politician in Washington.

we would be better off with our congresspeople, president, courts, governors, state reps, etc - all picked by random lottery on an annual basis

I think he might have meant a random lottery of ZH members perhaps...?

I'd rather have the dude begging for handouts at the freeway on ramp who I gave a dollar to today than Obama, Boner, McCain, Hillary, etc...

it appears Hillary Clinton may have just seen yet another nail in the coffin

 

Nail in the coffin? How about a stake through the fucking heart? It's the only way to kill a vampire, otherwise the damn things just rise up from the dead.

You're right.  And if this one rises up from the dead, we all need to gather around and piss on it.

Three letters....... T. P. P.

Much like NAFTA, it's gonna fuck American workers and to their credit the Teamsters understand this. Also, the Keystone pipeline. Hillary is a fat globalist POS.

If The Clintons were a rock band, their albums would now be in the back of the clearance rack.   With the price sticker marked through several times, each time reducing the price by half.   I can't wait to see their house and furniture auctions...

Trump has dealt with unions before, he knows you take brown bags full of bills TO THEM. Hillary thinks the union should bring brown bags of bills to her

It's telling that even the Teamters don't want to be near her stank

Not a surprise, maybe people should look at Trump's associations with his mentor and close friend Roy Cohn and Cohn's links to Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno, where it is also alleged Trump met with him.

"The union also seeks a “sit down” meeting with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump..."


Conversation, like certain portions of the anatomy, always runs more smoothly when lubricated.

The Teamsters are just negotiating in the early rounds of the election, playing one candidate off the other. They will go with the highest bidder in the end, and Hillary will give them whatever they want to get elected, most likely paid for with your money.

Notice they don't seem interested in a sit down meeting with Bush, or Christie or Rubio.  That says something about their assessment of who matters on the Republican side and their likelihood of doing anything about economic impact on union members.
