Seriously. Now they’re just giving us the finger. And David Brooksssthssth, bless him, has decided the best reaction is to drop trou, pull his chalky cheeks asplay, and offer up his hungry hungry asshole for a little Presidential finger bang.
I’ll pass, thanks.
Just days after Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa urged a union crowd to “take out” tea party “sons-a-bitches,” the White House is touting the union leader’s endorsement President Obama’s $447 billion jobs plan.
The White House on Thursday forwarded a news release from the Teamsters saying that Hoffa applauded Obama’s measures.
“Congress must pass President Obama’s plan now,” Hoffa said. “The jobs crisis is an American problem. It isn’t President Obama’s problem, and it isn’t a Republican or Democratic problem. All Americans need to come together to create good jobs for the good of our economy and the good of our country.”
The Obama plan includes extending the payroll tax cut agreed to last year, providing tax incentives for companies that hire the “disadvantaged,” and it supposedly would “put more people back to work” – union members, that is — including up to 280,000 teachers laid off by state-budget cuts and construction workers, who would repair crumbling bridges, roads and more than 35,000 public schools.
“This plan will immediately increase economic activity and generate more tax revenue,” Hoffa said. “That’s how you fix the deficit. Good jobs are good for the economy.”
Hoffa’s endorsement is one of many the White House is promoting.
What Hoffa’s endorsement is is a taunt.
Time to take these son of a bitches out.
(Of office, of course. Just to clarify. Would be a shame were I to be accused of being a violent, pseudo-intellectual psychopath or some such. EXCELSIOR!)
DEATH THREAT!!
Apparently I’ve been relegated to comment purgatory.
I tried to say DEATH THREAT!! but it wouldn’t appear.

The left is just laughing this off as “Hoffa being a Hoffa,” but (he said for the umpteenth time) if anyone one the right, even the pseudo-right in D.C., said this, we would not hear the end of it.
New Tone, baybee.
Wouldn’t it be terrible if the Teamsters cut the brake lines on the next train into Longview, and then got pancaked when they stood on the tracks to prevent the train from getting in?
I might be reduced to tears.
the vast majority of the piggy piggy union whore teachers what got laid off were the ones what have no business at all being near childrens
they’d been trying to fire these losers piggy piggy union whore teachers for years and years
let’s not undo a good thing

Aren’t Amtrak, CPB (NPR and PBS) and the Post Office handy and simple metrics of serious purpose in government? That is, when they are eliminated from funding by Congress, we’ll know that our legislature has returned to a serious purpose?
They might be leading indicators, sdferr. I’d be more impressed with the defunding of Education, Energy, HHS, DHS, HUD, Labor and Commerce.
The Horse Drovers and the UFO/CIA may start trouble, but I’d bet on the Tea Partiers finishing it.
I hear Democrats regularly saying that paying people to work at nonproductive jobs is stimulating. If that’s really the case, why wouldn’t paying people to do nothing be even MORE stimulating?
…and THAT being the case, I promise to spend every dime I make if someone will pay me to do nothing. I’ll even work overtime.
Right Squid. The simple ones like Amtrak can be relatively quick I think, with the Depts. an expected follow on, even though not enough, with ObamaCare, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security still outstanding for hacking down to a fraction of their current selves if deemed necessary in some diminished form.
Given the political class we have, even were one party to control both Houses and the Executive, I’d guess the lot would take somewhere on the order of four years or more. Which means, an election cycle for the grabbers to demagogue any interim results, which in turn means, most likely, without a majority of voters adamantly insistent on every item mentioned (which probably won’t be the case in any event), this stuff wouldn’t get done at all in totality without interruption (so four years is only an optimal and a better estimate would look more like a decade and a half at minimum).
NPR does not add value
Has it hurt the lefties hf? I don’t know, but on consideration, maybe it has.
they wasted a LOT of resources working with the dirty socialist Pew whores on a full court press on the global warming scam and they have jack shit to show for it
And it pisses off the likes of us, while failing to inform the lefties themselves about a whole world not already held in their fantasies, so depriving them of net valuable knowledge.
that’s a good point but if we stop feeding the NPR piggies it’s not like they’ll go away – GE will pony up money and the Ford Foundation and the Pew whores and demented fast food heiresses and et cetera
Yes, true and expected. Which is fine, they can keep what they want to pay for. Shit, same goes with Amtrak if the lefties like Biden want to pay for it out of their own pockets.
I know I would. I’d also probably split my sides and die.
I’ve never heard of anyone ever actually laughing that hard, but I could see me doing it.
then got pancaked when they stood on the tracks to prevent the train from getting in
I think that particular maneuver is called “pulling a Rachel Corrie”.
Sure, go ahead and denounce me.
DEEEEEEEE-NOUNCED!
#22 Thank you. Well done.
Have you considered adding heartfelt denunciations to the SquidCo. product line? I believe there’s an untapped market there.
“Shit, same goes with Amtrak if the lefties like Biden want to pay for it out of their own pockets”
Hows about the customers pay out of their own pocket? They come up with a viable business plan, and sink or swim.
Do the airlines take Federal monies? If so put them on the list too.
That’s all that meant Lee.
Yeah sdferr, I was just expanding on your point.
Last year I took an AmTrack sleeper car from Fresno to New Orleans. Cost $1000 dollars and took three days. It was the opposite of flying; when I got to NO I was a relaxed puddle of pudding. There is nothing remotely like TSA, a porter turns down your bed, and the food was excellent for the most part(expectations). If you have the money, time, and like to actually see the country you’re traveling through, I highly recommend it.
And I still think it should be a private enterprise, with a caveat. The railroad tracks are mostly owned by the large train lines(think Santa Fe), and Amtrack has arrangements to use their tracks(for I fee is what I’m saying).
The other railroads shouldn’t get any government monies or favors either, if they are…
