AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka rose to power in combination with President Obama. Trumka became president of the AFL-CIO at the same time President Obama took office in January 2009.
The Chicago machine organized a pact between the revolutionary communists (RevCom) and labor unions in 2007; specifically to assist the installation of Obama in the 2008 presidential election. The AFL-CIO (Nicholas), SEIU (Andy Stern), UFCW, UAW and AFSCME labor unions all agreed to assemble their foot-soldiers in common cause. That union army defeated Hillary Clinton in a brutal 2008 presidential primary. The communists won. The rest is history.
It was around the time of Richard Trumka’s 60th birthday celebration when the deal was signed. The Communists would get President Obama, in return the labor unions would get the massive pension liability of union member healthcare removed from their books. This is the origin of ObamaCare; by any means necessary.
Today, Richard Trumka died.
[Media] – Trumka, 72, has served as president of the massive 12.5 million-member labor union for more than a decade. Democratic politicians quickly memorialized him as a titan for worker rights.
“We are heartbroken to inform you that our brother and leader Rich Trumka passed away this morning at the age of 72,” said Liz Shuler, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer in a note to staff. President Joe Biden addressed Trumka’s death on Thursday, after apologizing for being late to a meeting with Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander civil rights leaders, he said to reporters, “I just learned a very close friend passed away.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., shared his condolences on the Senate floor. “It’s just horrible news,” he said. “We have just lost a giant. And we need him so. We will remember him forever. And his memory will, I know, importune us to do even more for working people.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Trumka an “unsurpassed titan of labor” who dedicated his life to the labor movement. His life “was a testament to the power of organizing and mobilizing for progress, and his leadership leaves a legacy of inspired advocacy for workers,” said Pelosi, in a statement. (read more)
You should’a never made the deal, Dick….
Sounds like the spike proteins in the vax got him.
Probably a heart attack. He was on a camping trip with his grandchildren.
Politico reports that the cause of death was believed to be a heart attack. Very few outlets are yet reporting cause of death at this point.
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/05/afl-cio-trumka-dead-502573
Here’s a bit more direct from Twitter –
Perhaps a heart attack triggered by spike proteins.
He was 72, heart attacks happen all the time. He didn’t look like the picture of health anyway.
Nice way of saying that he was a disgusting fat f*ck.
I had a heart attack when I was 72, but I didn’t die (obviously).
And we are happy that you didn’t!
Maybe a heavy dose of karma for the leader of my old union.
Or the Devil put in his call
Well bless his heart.
What did he do?
Seriously, couldn’t happen to a more deserving POS
I posted that so we could flush out the Northerners.
As a Northerner, I resent that remark ;-). Thankfully, someone explained that expression to me years ago.
First thing I did when I first moved to Florida the first time was a bumper sticker that said:
………….We Don’t Care How you Do It Up North…………..
Wish I never came back.
Northerners, Southerners. We’re all in this together. If there’s been anything good to come out of our recent political history it’s that we’ve all had a chance to revisit and ultimately abandon toxic stereotypes of the past as we join forces and face today’s challenges.
I get your intended meaning, but add “… for going on strike and doing us all a favor.” for my personal amusement. ?
Well I was born in TN but never lived there. I learned the meaning while reading here getting my cultural diversity card. So I posted while knowing half are not going to get it, while the other half *nods. 🙂
I see what you did there.
Thank you for the laugh! POTD as far as I’m concerned as it voiced my sentiments exactly. 😉
The Commie must have weighed 450 lbs…a walking Heart Attack!
If he did anything for the average American workingman, I’m not aware of it. He seems to have been partnered with Obama, Big Tech, wall street, and the open borders cheap labor lobby.
Don’t forget the ChiComs
That is the way for those who seek power from those who make a living using muscle…get elected at the national level then begin to live a life just like (or as close as..) the big shots in corporations, professions, etc. It is the “little big man” game they seek to play while the “little guys” out in the fields and on the assembly lines sweat day in and day out.
I suppose now he’s learning the cost of that ticket he took.
Within 1 week of balking at mandatory vax for union members. Hmmmmm.
coincidence or did someone cap him? Let me assure you, rank and file construction guys are vehemently against the vaccine.
Trumka supported vaccine mandates: https://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/business-a-lobbying/565195-afl-cio-backing-vaccine-requirement-for-workers
Yep, he’s in Hades in the next cell to Hoffa…
Satan, Richard. Richard, Sata… Oh wait, you guys are old friends, aren’t you? Sorry, I keep forgetting.
Well, I’m sure you two have a lot to catch up on, and now you have plenty of time to do it. ta-ta!
The Clinton crew and the Obama Machine have been enemies for years. They compromised and put Biden on Obama’s ticket. They are still at it but the Clinton gang is old and dying off. Every time the Clinton gang compromised with the Omamaites they get the shaft. IMHO this is why Kamala was installed alongside Biden. When Biden gets cheated, Kobamala will slide into the presidency which was the intended plan all along.
She’s obedient, but everyone hates her.
She likes herself, that means she has 1 admirer out of 400 Million Citizens!
I’d bet actual money deep down she doesn’t like her either.
Naw. Moosell is “in the hole.”
Heaven help us, perhaps they’re considering them both on a ticket.
His name is Mike…
Where has the unqualified VP gone to? A Reddit commenter speculated maybe on a ventilator.
The only good commie is a dead commie.
Concur and would extend the Principle to AristoComs and Islamists.
My mama raised me to keep my mouth shut if I can’t be nice.
?
Mine did also. May he rest in pieces.
Rest in peace….bullshit! This bastard was an evil SOB! Glad he’s gone and hopefully this is the begining of more of these lowlifes “disappearing”.
He said “pieces” not peace. The rest of your statement can stand as is. Haha
Please God, keep up the pattern, they always die in three’s…
I see what you did there – LOL!!! Oh wait…
Come sit by me and talk real low.
On the bench under the Willow tree.
If that tree could talk…
“The only thing necessary for evil men to Triumph is for mommas to insist Truth not be spoken to power.”
Liberty gets better results calling Rat[illegitimates]
Rat[illegitimates].
And thus the fault in the logic appears.
What is Truth that can’t be spoken?
A lie?
A wise nun I had once said if you can’t say anything nice about someone, you can at least say he had nice teeth.
He had nice teeth.
Yea, they were sharpened over time on the carcasses of his enemies.
Mine did to, so I am only going to say it couldn’t have been more deserved.
I was taught that if you can’t say something good about the dead, don’t say anything, BUT I was also taught to hate evil.
So when an evil person dies, you know what I’m thinking without me saying a word.
Good thing my mother didn’t raise me that way. With times the way they are now, I’d have to learn sign language to get through the day.
Same here which is why I got such a laugh out of the “Bless his heart” comment above. Perfect response. 😉
Well, well, well….just goes to show ya, nothing or no one lasts forever!
Sold his soul a very long time ago.
He is/was italian (mother), polish (father) american.
Looking at images of him, cause of death was either carbonara or kielbasa. ?
…or that horrible wig.
I’m assuming he knows the truth by now.
Yep, once you’re in Hell, Lucifer is very frank…YOU ARE NOT leaving here, EVER…cozy up to the FIRE and roast some explosives!
A lockdown for eternity. Bone-chilling.
Most of our politicians are old and derelicts.. Spike protein must had got him. Good riddance commie.
So in exchange for union vote, their health liability removed from union books
And Republicans said if we voted them in Congress they would repeal Obamacare…we did, they didn’t.
Congress serves themselves at our expense…every time.
repeal Obamacare;
‘Three Republican senators — John McCain, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski — and all Democrats voted against the bill,
dealing a stinging defeat to Republicans and President Donald Trump who made repeal of Obamacare a cornerstone of their campaigns.”
John the traitor McCain. Trump place the shot across the bow when he told America He wasn’t impressed with the Senator.
Thumbs down McStain went personal and corporate money while shafting us.
Trumka & his union thugs partnered with 0bama’s first major foray into Alinsky-styled presidential agitation using social media by backing the Communist Occupy Wall St. mob. OWS became violent AFTER the union thugs showed them how it’s done.
He will now take his proper place at Satan’s supper table with Judas and the rest of the marxist mobleaders
I’m pretty certain there will be no celebration for him at the table of Satan. Hell is eternal punishment not a feast for the evil. These people are now suffering the fate of those who are evil. Satan doesn’t care one bit how they helped him.
Well Jane didn’t say WHAT they were having for supper…….
Where was Obama?
Oh well…..
Good!
I’m a member of IUOE and Teamsters. These Unions have taken an incredible amount heat from it’s members whom are mostly MAGA. The Unions have had to rethink statements on behalf of the Democratic party. Social media gave instant access to the Unions views by members who don’t tow the line. Bidens canceling of Keystone pipeline and Minnesota Democrats involvement in trying to cancel Embridge Line 3 and Polymet mine in northern Minnesota further solidified members walking away from Democrats. Leaders at the local Unions have changed their views. Even saw a IUOE steward with a F-Biden sticker on his hard hat. It used to be near impossible to become a steward unless you voted Democrat. Times are a changin. Times ARE changing.
That is good insight and news.
Sure Pal, but none of you are going to quit the union are you?
Wow Pal, judge much?
President Trump embraced every single American. It was one of the best aspects of the man, IMO.
You’re nuts if you don’t know he had tremendous support from union workers.
Look at all the time he spent in WV and how hard he worked to make sure that industry was given opportunities to flourish. Too bad Xiden is doing everything he can to kill along with all sorts of industries.
China and Russia are laughing all the way to the bank.
You don’t have to throw away the baby with the bathwater, Pal.
President Trump had no problems dealing with organized construction workers now did he?
Oh please tell. Why would i / Should i quit?
I always got a kick out of our chief steward when election time came around.
He wouldn’t directly tell us who to vote for, but he made it very clear how he expected us to vote.
We used to laugh at him and tell him to get lost.
I’ve never voted democrat in my life.
I retired a few years ago and I always wore Trump stickers on my hardhat and I got nothing but thumbs up and a lot of whispers of support from big men who were afraid to voice their opinion or risk getting blackballed. The union leadership, in private, agrees with the MAGA agenda, then put their double pension hats on and spew the AFL-CIO talking points. SICKENING
My answer was I”‘m going to vote for the best man” though nowadays I guess I gotta say the best person,
Feel good story of the day.
Wasn’t it last week we found out Barbara Boxer got mugged? And there was other good news a few days later but I can’t remember what it was.
Kathy Griffin?
Just when I thought the day was a wash.
We will see the “Trumka Effect” play out when China First Joe bails out the automakers for building stupid electric cars that nobody wants.
I think JoBama is sending the electric car production to Mexico.

My Official Trump MAGA hat from his website said Made in California!

As an AFL-CIO member, he won’t be missed.
Did he ever do anything to help you?
Following Union tradition. Trumpka’s body will be stuffed in a 55 gallon barrel and buried in the slab of a new building being constructed.
New concrete being poured out front of my work. I’ll let them know to wait a few.
Gonna need ‘4 Barrels’ for this Monster!
Trumka cut his teeth in the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) union. He took it to the depths of hell so much so that the UMWA is just a shell of its former self, but he made sure he lived like a king. Working in the engineering and management side of the coal mining industry, I never got the pleasure (?) of meeting Trumka; I just knew him by his reputation, and it wasn’t good. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. /s
satan came to collect his dues.

Is there anything of which one can say,
“Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.

No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them.
Can we look forward with Schadenfreude to ChiCom internecine labor power struggles now?
I’ll set out my tear bucket.
May he experience the fullness of his new home.
He can ask McCain to show him around.
See what happens when your dues paying members openly state they don’t want the NotVax(TM).
Still waiting for that NotHeartAttack(TM) to show up at my property line(s).
RIP
Roast In Perpetuity
LOL
Bah bye
Working people have never suffered worse than under his leadership than any time after WWII. When you sell out the people you “represent” for that Faustian deal the devil collects.
Eternal roast, Day 1
One down, many more to go.
Indeed!

Bye Trumka…Godspeed
Let this be the first domino to fall……………..
To his family Richard Trumka’s death is a huge very tragic sad, devastating loss.
To America and the American people Richard Trumka’s death removes one more anti-America and another enemy of the American People. May all America’s enemies end the same very, very soon.
May Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley follow his example and soon.
America should be very glad the head crook of the union’s is gone.
God has never given up his right to determine the number of our days. Trumka lived his numbered days.
I met Mr. Trumka on a couple of occasions. On both occasions he was calling for violence against freedom loving Americans. I hope he died a horribly painful death and he burns in hell for eternity.
did I just put a heart emoji on FB news of this?
Yes, yes I did
Now FakeBook will send your name to Zuckerschifft…watch out!
This week. New term: Pelocided, pronounced Pelo-side-id.
Unions have done for blue collar workers what the GOP has done for conservatives. Well not as bad but the dynamic of a bad agent whose goals are not matched to the client are there. Another similarity is the low info union member who just can’t walk away and watches whole industries die with no prospects left for their children.
Glad I told my son no way in hell are you gonna be a welder.
This is reminiscent of when Bette Davis was told that her arch nemesis, Joan Crawford had passed away. She said, “I was told to only say good things about the dead.
Joan Crawford is dead. Good.”
“Nipped in the bud!”, as my 90 year old father would say.
Where can I go to purchase some crocodile tears. I seem to be all out.
This changes nothing.
Sadly, Trumpka is not leaving a power vacuum behind.
.
He will likely be replaced with someone even more effectively evil.
The left has a deep bench.
Yes they do Merkin Muffley.
And each replacement they send in is so much worse than the guy or gal who is being replaced.
In a related story, his absentee ballot for 2022 is already in the mail. I wonder if Satan is inviting him to sit at the Captain’s table this evening?
Lately it has seemed like these commies were immortal . . . now this news. How old is Fauci???
If only Mitch McConnell and his super-aged ilk could also “be human” and depart the scene . . .
Ironically, the bottom of Trumpka’s Casket or Urn will say ‘Made in China’…..
Heavy on that “Dick” name!
