Teamsters members overwhelmingly support Trump over Harris

[sealybobo]

Trump's budget was thrown out and Congress created a different one.

Then don't ask why Kamala/Biden had 4 years and didn't get much done

As evidence piles up, this might be the worst Congress ever

To appreciate why this is arguably the worst Congress ever, it’s important to look at what makes it uniquely horrible.

www.msnbc.com

Remember when the Republicans couldn't pick a speaker? Pathetic. Being taken over by election deniers. People who fall for they're eating the dogs types.

I know how they got you. They told you that illegals get more welfare than you do. And it's why they're going to have to cut your benefits. And Democrats are letting them in.

News flash. Immigrants work. You don't.

Illegals getting "any" government handouts is the problem. Not more, not just Welfare. Why should we let them in if they make us weaker?

Why do you people insist on changing what we say to something we didn't say?

 

[CHAZBUKOWSKI]

Screw you, they can vote how they want, they don't need union reps up to their eyes in Dem money to tell them what to do, not everything is about money, sounds like they have morals and common decency

Bahahaha! As if supporting the incestuous kidddie diddling rapist, Small Hand Cheeto, has anything to do with ‘morals and common decency’

You make us weaker and poorer. Immigrants, even illegals, are more valuable to us than you.

You're another uncle tom. Bruce Jenner, Kanye, people who get welfare and people who benefit from unions. All of you. You bite the hand that feeds you. I wish Republicans would win the White House, Senate and House and cut your benefits. Take care of yourself! Every man for himself!! But you don't think that'll happen. Trust me, it would. At least massive cuts. You figure it out.

And every increase or additional benefit you get, comes from us. So I hope we lose and you get your wish. For your sake. God you people make me sick. Vergogna!

We cannot exist if we give government handouts to every poor person on the planet who crosses the border. And one of the purposes for sealing the border is to restrict American government handouts to Americans who paid taxers on it for a lifetime only.

All you got on your side is hate filled name-calling and insult. You people resort to name-calling and insulting when you can't stand on the facts.

You could help speed us along by voting Trump.

I don't get welfare. And government handout should be reserved for Americans who need them and not immigrants who immigrate here for them. We cannot afford to feed and house the planet's poor. They should stay where they are at and fix their own countries.

And remember, even for Americans, it is better to have a hand up not a handout.

I am paralyzed below my arms all the way down. I worked since I was 14 every day paying into the social welfare system and now that I need it, it is my turn to take some. Again the planet's poor, outside of America, doesn't deserve any of it.

I can still work. My brains and my arms are all I need to be a Phone Tech, which I have loads of experience at. But I can't because I have to be prepared to drop everything at a second's notice when a CNA, or Nurse comes in. And I can't afford to keep and maintain a PII or/and Hippo office environment while ensuring my own health is covered at the same time, and thus I am now retired watching TV, and debating with folks like you for the rest of my life.

I asked if Medicaid would pay to transport me to a Nursing Home in a state that allowed Asst. Suicide, and now I get Styrofoam plates, plastic utensils, and am suicide watch, which kinda sucks.

Your Lie Implies That Only Government Workers Elect the Government

They are a substantial and organized voting bloc in large cities.

And it's not a lie you fucking fucktard.

Trump is brilliant at finding ways to sucker guys like you. They told you that "illegals get more benefits than you" or "because illegals suck off the system so much, we're going to have to cut your welfare". Have you read Project 2025? They're already going to cut your benefits.

House Republican Agendas and Project 2025 Would Increase Poverty and Hardship, Drive Up the Uninsured Rate, and Disinvest From People, Communities, and the Economy

• Policies that raise costs and take away health coverage, food assistance, and other help affording the basics from people when they need them. These policies will create significant economic and health insecurity for millions of people while increasing poverty, hardship, and the number of people lacking health coverage. They will shortchange children’s futures, make it harder for millions of seniors to afford prescription drugs, and take away help that households need to afford food, housing, and child care.
  For example, the RSC budget calls for $4.5 trillion in cuts over ten years in Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace coverage,[2] cutting these health coverage funds by more than half. The HBC budget plan, meanwhile, calls for $2.2 trillion in cuts to health coverage — all from Medicaid, the associated committee report suggests.[3] This cut would amount to 30 percent on average over ten years, and 40 percent in 2034. Nearly 74 million people receive health coverage through Medicaid, so cuts of this magnitude would result in millions losing access to comprehensive coverage.
  Similarly, the RSC budget calls for cutting average Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits by about 22 percent by rescinding the updated 2021 Thrifty Food Plan, which adjusted SNAP benefits to reflect the cost of a healthy diet based on today’s dietary guidelines and food consumption patterns.[4] This cut would affect 41 million people participating in SNAP, formerly known as food stamps. (HBC and Project 2025 also sharply criticize the Thrifty Food Plan increase but are not clear about rescinding it.[5]) And Project 2025 calls for gutting summer food assistance programs that children in families with low incomes rely on when school is out, which could include the new Summer EBT program that is expected to provide grocery benefits to more than 21 million children this summer.[6]
  The HBC budget plan cuts the “income security” category of programs by almost $1 trillion over ten years; the accompanying report targets SNAP, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (or TANF, which provides flexible funding that states use for a range of benefits and services to low-income families with children). If income security cuts are largely limited to these programs, benefits would be slashed by more than half by 2034.[7]
  The RSC budget has very deep cuts in this part of the budget as well. It includes a cut that would convert Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a 50-year-old program that provided income assistance to 7.5 million low-income seniors and disabled people in 2022, to a block grant and end guaranteed cash aid through the program.
  Many of the proposals in these agendas would shift large costs onto states, forcing them to either kick in far more money — a particular hardship for states with lower per capita incomes — or cut benefits and services to their residents.

They are going to fuck you good buddy.

Again, the same not more and any is too much.
I have not read that project and am not going to as there are too many Congress members and Trump who are not for it without a great deal of editing or Amendments.

What kept me employed was my fear of being homeless. If I could spend my life paying internet games and arguing politics with you and not worry about bills because Government Handouts would pay them, I wouldn't work. AA lot of folks work because they have to, to survive, otherwise they wouldn't work. So providing a hand up with a drop-dead date instead of a handout will put the fear of God in them, and they will find a job.

For example, about 20 years sago I was fired/let go of and needed another job and the unemployment office offered me free Certification class and paid my bills while I attended them. So I got certified as an IT Cybersecurity, and the school got me my first job. I have Bipolar and tend to get fired every year or 2 due to problems in temper etc., and after I got medicated I would get released due to low Customer Service Surveys due to the fact the customers thought I lacked empathy because they stifled my ability to feel or express any strong emotions. But I would tell future employers my previous jobs were seasonal and released me because they no longer needed me due to the season being over, and my previous employers weren't allowed to say different for fear of being sued if they did, so I built a lot of bankable experience without any bad records in my employment history.

If I could do it, everyone can if they only applied themselves. But they need to be placed in a situation where working for a living is preferable to the alternative. Putting in a Drop-Dead date does that for them.

Remember when Democrats said that barbwire the Texans put up I middle of the river would kill thousands of immigrants? Well, since then only 2 immigrants died. The reason is they knew if they tried to cross there their chance of dying was extremely high, so they didn't try to cross there.

The same things can happen to those living on governmental handouts. Democrats claim countless folks will starve to death. But they won't because they know it is a guarantee alternative if they don't choose the Hand ups and earn a living, so they voluntarily choose that alternative instead.

They cut programs at the Federal level, States would have more money to pay for those programs themselves. That way, they can create specialized programs that work in their state, which is better than a Federal program that is the same for every state.

Aren't you on disability now? If you can sit there and debate with me, you could do my job. I'm in sales and 100% remote. I can work from anywhere. And I make $85,000 a year or more depending on the economy that year.

I don't know how or why being bi polar would stop you, but I don't think Republicans care. The government should not be paying for you until you die. Your family should. Or charity. That's not my opinion, that's what Republicans think. And there is some truth to it. The woman I know in Florida who's on disability, her sister is a millionaire. If we took her off welfare, no doubt her sister would't let her die. But because welfare is there, why should she have to pay? Get on welfare she told her.

If it wasn't available, she would figure it out. YOU would figure it out.

You don't know what you are saying. You're just like an uncle tom or union guy who's anti union.

You are right, all I need is a computer, a phone, and high speed internet. But my medical needs require me to be available to medical staff with a 5-second notice. They can walk in on me at any time they choose, which violate the PII and Hippo rules. I have experience as an Apple tech, both computers and cell phone, also as a Welfare Provider Representative. But I can't do either while in a Long term medical facility due to the inability to work under the PII and Hippo regulations. And, I can't work from home due t my medical needs, which would cost a lot more than being in a Long term facility.

Being Bipolar, back when I didn't know I was, I had problems controlling my anger, anxiety, and depression. So much so it would get me fired. Sometimes I would lie around doing nothing, deep in despair, for days before being able to go back to work. I had a company car, company expense account, and I was in charge of Help Desk, Testing and Quality control, and Programmers at the same time. The owner didn't bother giving me a fancy title. I lost the job because I got into panic mode and yelled at the boss one time too many. He gave me 2 weeks off without pay, but something triggered inside me and I felt he was a vampire sucking out my abilities until I had nothing left, so I refused to go back to work for him. Bipolar people have huge imaginations and have problems seeing reality properly. I could see molecules floating in air, and I believed some awful stuff. If I hadn't gone to the VA and begged them for help, literally, and properly diagnosed and medicated, I would've ended up in prison or dead because my anger was getting extremely worse.

The cure left me unable to feel any strong emotions, so I would get fired/let go of for failing customer service surveys due to customers believing I had no empathy. They were correct, I could no longer feel empathy, but I did my best to fake it because I did believe in duty and being a productive member of society, two things drilled into me during my army days. I would've committed suicide if my sister hadn't begged me for help because my other sister moved out, leaving her, my mother, and her two kids unable to pay their bills. That was 2005. I got fired every year or two but managed to find another job due to my job skills and experience. Recently I got Neuropathy, lost my Big toe on right foot due to gangrene from a tiny cut. I got a baseball sized hole (I can provide pics if you like) in my left foot due to a tiny bubble I had removed at an Urgent care center. Then I freaked out due to my heart stopping, providing oxygen to my brain. I thought the medical personnel were aliens trying to capture me and did my best to fight them off. I lost. They ended up pouring water down my thought and applying an electrical charge to it shorting out my heart, on purpose, then bringing it back to life twice before it started working right. Meanwhile, my foot got infected, and the infection got into the bone, so I lost part of my leg.

While in rehab, I had to earn how to stand again because my right leg muscle refused to obey orders and my left leg kept trying to hold me up, dragging me down because I had no foot. They had to hold my left leg up so I can successfully stand on my right foot. I was two weeks away from getting my prosthetic and learning how to walk again when I ran into a new problem. After PPT (Physical Training) the CNA's took me back to my room and lowered my bed, so I could slide over using a sliding board. The bed landed on a trash can and broke with the head and foot going down, but the center stuck up. After removing the trashcan and lifting the bed, it got stuck with the foot and head up and the center down. They forced me into the bed which pinched my spine and I begged them to let me out, but they refused and closed the door so they couldn't hear me yell. At 9 am they got me out of bed with a Hoirer, a crane, and I was unable to feel below my belly and unable to control my muscles below my arms. It's not called paralyzed because I have muscle spasms. Anyhow, with the laptop I HAVE TO ONE FINGER TYPE BECAUSE MY HANDS ARE TOO BIG FOR MY LAPTOP AT AN ANGLE I CAN'T SEE THE LETTERS OF THE KEY SO I TYPE FROM MEMORY. Sorry for the caps. According to my spell checker, I now have 65 typos I have to go back and fix. I used to be able to type 85 wpm with no errors. Also because of my heart problem and their resetting it, I have permenant brain damage which causes me to forget words and/or skip words when I type. But I have a top-notch spell checker that finds that stuff.

If it wasn't available, she would figure it out. YOU would figure it out.

You don't know what you are saying. You're just like an uncle tom or union guy who's anti union.

A person makes choices, most if given a choice of not having to work for a living yet getting all their bills paid, i.e. those things you consider as human rights, would choose not to work. By removing that choice, you force them to use a different choice. The government is currently will to give poverty folks unemployed job training and then helps them find a job. That is a viable choice when your other choice is to be homeless because you removed the choice of living on government handouts.

You would predict they would all starve to death. And they would if they are stubborn and refuse to take job training and getting a job. Most will choose to work for a living if their only other choice was to starve and live in the streets.

You don't understand. I empathize for you. Because of liberals like me, you are taken care of. Republicans would leave you to your love ones or charity. Not government.

Bipolar? Republicans don't want to hear about that.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), about 2.8% of U.S. adults have bipolar disorder in a given year, and 4.4% have had it at some point in their lives. This translates to about 5.7 million adults in the U.S. being affected by bipolar disorder each year.

That's a pre existing condition if you ask Republicans and insurance companies.

I'm on your side. YOU are not.

 

[Slyhunter]

You don't know Republicans very well. And, I am a Republican in name only. I am socially Liberal and fiscally conservative. I am an Agnostic and am sick and tired of all the right wing proselytizing by the party members and their media, but at this time I don't have a lot of options.

Just because you don't like your choices doesn't mean you don't have any.

Bipolar? Republicans don't want to hear about that.

Not all bipolar folks are bad. A lot of make great business leaders, as they are workaholics and risk-takers until they burn out. A lot end up in Prison or doing a mass shooting somewhere and/or suicide by cop.

You don't know Republicans very well. And, I am a Republican in name only. I am socially Liberal and fiscally conservative. I am an Agnostic and am sick and tired of all the right wing proselytizing by the party members and their media, but at this time I don't have a lot of options.

Just because you don't like your choices doesn't mean you don't have any.

Fiscally conservative means stop paying your disability. Let charity and your family bare that burden. Fiscal conservatives hate paying for you.

You're wrong. It does mean not wasting money on those capable of working, but willing to show them how to fish, i.e. employment skills and help them get a job, so they no longer need to receive Government handouts.

They have no issue with helping those who can't help themselves. They aren't Libertarians, though the Libertarians join the Republican Party because they can't win elections on their own.

Trump's budget was thrown out and Congress created a different one.

You remind me of the teamsters who are voting for Trump. They/You bite the hand that feeds you.

In 2021, Democrats attached an expensive pension bailout to the American Rescue Plan, the $1.9 trillion stimulus package they muscled through the Senate on a party-line vote at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. The inclusion of an estimated $74 to $91 billion to shore up troubled multiemployer pension funds was a small legislative miracle for the Teamsters and other unions – and it never would have happened without Harris.
At the time, the Senate had 50 members caucusing with Democrats and 50 with Republicans, with Harris, as president of the chamber, serving as the tie-breaker to end deadlocks. She cast the deciding vote in a crucial step known as the motion to proceed, allowing the stimulus package to advance with zero Republican support.

But then later, Teamsters President Sean O’Brien announced that the 1.3 million-member union would not be backing Harris or Trump? They/You are idiots really.
