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….
Another Vax victim to report on VAERS
I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep tonight. /s
(1) I’m a retired Union hardhat..
(2) My grandma said if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all.
(3)
(4)
Well said.
Rest In Peace (RIP),,,no. GFR!!! Way overdue for any God fearing American. This POS was as vile as they come.
Covid-19?
My guess?
He was tazered trying to crash the big 60 party, claiming he had paid plenty to be in attendance.
The shock to his system at being treated so unceremoniously caused the heart attack . . .
Were the Asian American civil rights leaders at the White House today blaming white supremacy for the violence being perpetrated by Black Americans against Asian Americans?
Andy Cuomo, part of the Ozark Mafia, is in big trouble. Now Trumka, big time O ally, “dies”.
Arkancide?
This fat bastard was so despised by the rank and file, frankly, the first thing I thought when I heard he took a dirt nap, was to he got capped by a member.
If he did, it would set a good example for the rest of these sorry SOB’s. They have ruled like tyrants. Tyrants become fearful when their carcass is on the line. I’d like to see several hung upside down like Mussolini. Let them live in fear. They become the hunted.
Didn’t he come out in support for Trump?
hahahahaha
Good News, Another Communist bites the dust!
You are correct MickJT.
The tragedy is, that historically the Labor Unions were essential in keeping communism out of the US. Some historians say that is the primary reason.
In fact, between the 1920’s and the 1970’s (especially in the 50’s), several labor leaders were actually working as informants with the FBI to report commies in their ranks. They were patriotic Americans who really did want better working conditions for their members, and many if not most, were also veterans who loved the USA.
Unions gave the workers a voice without destroying the US free market economy at that time.
The union leadership have pissed all over that history over the last few decades.
[Full disclosure – I detest Labor Unions, for some things that took place in my youth. But the truth is the truth.]
I thought so…
True. I ran across this awhile back and found it fascinating,.
The rest of the story…
STAKE IN WAR ON REDS
CHURCH AND LABOR HAVE COMMON BOND, PASTORS SAY.
Communism Grows Only Where Living Conditions Are Bad, a Union Representative Points Out.
The church and the labor movement have a common interest in fighting communism, Thomas L. Wands, international representative of the Boilermakers union, said yesterday in a Labor Sunday program of the Men’s Bible class at the Ivanhoe Masonic Temple. About 500 persons attended.
Communism flourishes only where the necessities of life are denied, Wands said. He said it is the task of labor to provide for material well-being as it is the work of the church to care for spiritual things.
“We must work together,” he said, “mindful that we have a common enemy in Godless communism. Freedom is not expendable. We all have a job to do in working for the retention of our Democratic way of life.”
The invocation was given by the Rev. John C. Friedl, director of the Institute of Social Order at Rockhurst college. He attended the meeting although he had to return to St. Mary’s hospital where he has been under observation.
Some pastors used Labor day themes in sermons. Dr. W. Ross Edwards, at the Swope Park Baptist church, said Jesus taught the need to adopt proper attitudes toward self, to apply the Golden Rule, and to place things in a proper perspective.
“The greatest weapon against any false doctrine is the practice of the principles of Jesus,” Dr. Edwards said. “Communism cannot win where Christ truly is followed.”
Another pastor who assailed communism, the Rev. O. W. Stanbrough of the First Regular Baptist church, 2425 Van Brunt boulevard, said communism is a religion and not a political belief.
“Communism is the religion of the atheist,” Mr. Stanbrough said. “The threat of communism hangs over the United States like a dark cloud. There is no escape except through Christ.”

The only thing worshipped one a Masonic Temple is Baphomet/Satan.
Just to be clear.
If he would have just worn the mask none of this would have happened.
Where is the “/sarc” tag…askin’ for a friend!!
Well done sarcasm does not require a tag….
and that was well done.
That’s what I was thinking.
If you can’t see the sarc there we need to take away your internet papers, now that citizens have papers for everything illegals don’t.
maybe it was the lack of social distancing?
It’s impossible for an extremely FAT man to social distance. He walks into an auditorium, everyone else has to leave!
Mr. StraightLine asks the crowd: ‘How fat was he?’
When he sat around the union hall, he sat AROUND the union hall.
All the assembled news panels and news actors will be solemn and full of great thoughts and remembrance of this ant-American criminal aka swamp rat. They’ll speak glowingly of the great work he has done for the American worker..spit. Nobody could launder money like Dick.
They never once asked: “Hey Dick! How is the American worker helped by allowing an invasion of our southern border by illiterate 3rd worlders? …and Dick as a follow up, how did it help the American worker when B-B-B-Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline and exploration of new oil reserves within our own country, while driving energy prices up and inflation? …and do you regret your support for B-B-B-Biden?”
Sorry for his family.
and all those factories and machine shops are humming away, the workers are happy and satisfied with all their benefits and buying power. Oh wait, that’s in Beijing , never mind.
Touche’ …ha
Good one Tom S.!
May he rest in hell. He deserves it.
All I can say is, too bad it didn’t take longer, and be more painful.
Every guy I worked with, in the field, as a union tradesman, called this guy a worthless fat f*ck. He was a titan of his own interest and sold out labor on day one. When Pelosi praises you, you can believe that he was human garbage. Good riddance.
Usually things happen in threes… I’m waiting, could name dozens..
If I not he could have been on the Titanic with a couple others I won’t mention.
Sic semper tyrannis.
Trumpka was just one more thread in corruption of the Left and Democrats. He will be replaced by someone just as bad. Truth and then some.
Eternal rest grant unto him, Oh Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May the soul of your faithful departed, and all the faithful departed, Rest In Peace.
Jesus, for the sake of the great and abiding love you have for each of us, and the grief and anguish the loss of every soul causes you, I pray for the repose of the soul of Richard, and for his family in the time of their loss. May we all be called by this occasion to remember your love and sacrifice, and cling to your Divine Mercy.
You are a MUCH better person than I am. I lived under his influence in the Labor movement and he was EVIL and a sellout. Complete piece of garbage. He treated us as collateral damage and sold us out. He sold out our Nation. His family lived off the theft from stolen union dues. He deserves no mercy, no rest, and as for his family, they should apologize to the tens of thousands of hard working union members whom he sold down the river. May he rot in Hell.
Same here.
I deserve no mercy and no rest. But I hope to get it one day.
Read you here for a few years now.
If I get to vote when it’s your time you get a limo ride to heaven.
I doubt you will screw over hundreds of thousands of hard working people who believe that you are busy fighting to protect their rights as they sacrifice their body in an effort to bring home a paycheck to their family, while the entire time they are being used as bargaining chips for self enrichment. Evil men deserve no quarter, no sympathy. As I said, you are much better person than I.
Same here.
There but for the Grace of God go I.
“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:20
Managerie;
So many times you have told us, in your own words, who you are. Thank You for being you.
Menagerie. Hope and rituals do not avail anything. Only Jesus does.
To recoup Biblical teaching:
1 All human beings are totally depraved (some more than others)
2 Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty due our depravity/sins
3 We must repent and receive him as our savior
4 Repenting and receiving Jesus is the only way any soul may enter Heaven
5 Whoever does not repent and receive Jesus as Savior will face God’s judgment at the Great White Throne and be thrown into Hell.
Time to open the Bible and read it. It explains God’s plan of Salvation in detail and much more.
Thanks Menagerie, I will wish no ill will on anyone myself.
True words. I do not want anyone to go to Hell.
I do not want to go to Hell.
Jesus will come to JUDGE the living and the dead at the end of time.
Many many people have been hurt by Richard Trumpka’s selfishness and his lies.
He knows that now.
Hopefully he had contrition before he died.
Planet Earth is so very special because the Blessed Sacrament resides here..
Whether we believe that or not, does not make that fact any less true.
More folks should think about that.
May all who die today Rest In Peace.
…and may he rot forever. Amen.
Menagerie- Thank you for reminding us that first and foremost we are all made in God’s image. Ours is not to judge.
Your statement has the same ring as Nancy Pelosi saying that the MS13 members all have “the spark of Divinity” within them. This is part of the reason that the Rats run slipshod over us. I am not, and don’t want to be a martyr. We have faculties so that we CAN judge. We know what is right and what is wrong. We can see evil clearly. Pretending that we are not qualified to judge evil is absurd and frankly naïve.
I hear hell is looking for a labor chief.
Bad for Democrats, good for America. Funny how frequently that description applies to news stories.
Trumka, SEIU and Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck was so out in front with all this stuff… I heard of Soros for the first time on his show… He went off the rails (may be back now) too bad…
I’ve always thought Beck was bi-polar. The bi-polar in their early manic phases can be incredibly productive, creative, even genius. However that phases deepens in many to pure crazy.
Clearly not written in the book of life. Hope he spends eternity burning in the lake o’ fire. Of course they are just going to replace him with somebody worse so it’s no time to rejoice.
Globalists = Traitors to their Country and Countrymen.
Globalists would give up their own neighbors jobs/education/future and wave at them with a smile.
They worship themselves and don’t deserve the fellowship of their neighbors whom they betray.
Damn the Cynics
Full Winning Attitude Ahead!
: )
More like a titan of bowel movement.
Enjoy the lake of fire Richard! You earned it!
I was taught not to say anything about anyone if I couldn’t say something nice. I’m not very good at it.
Who gets his Swiss bank accounts?
Permanent social distancing – 6 feet under.
Cold. Excuse the pun.
I’m not sure how the AFL-CIO elects their President, but hopefully the unions will select someone who actually cares about them and their jobs.
The Keystone pipeline workers need to lead the charge and get n everyone’s face. Maybe align with some Teamsters to add pressure.
Are you saying you expect that election to be free and fair? Doubtful.
The union you refer to is the United Association of Piping Trades. They benefited immensely under President Trump and throw him under the bus without hesitation. In 08, they were the first labor union to endorse Obama, and one of the first thing their champion did was kill the pipelines. The wife of one of the UA’s leadership was on Obama’s staff….
These people are waiting for the highest bidder. They could give a sh*t less about the membership.
Is it true that he got the vax a few hours before he died?
Whoa…..is it time to start up the dead pool?
Like the proverbial frog in the warming pot, we’ve been thoroughly stewed in Corporatism, and we’re cooked.
Corporatism is an unholy alliance between the big corporations, big government and big unions. They work co-operatively for their mutual benefit, and only their benefit. Not the little people, certainly not the country.
Trumka and other union leaders only think about the benefit of their union, and feel self-righteous about doing so. The teacher’s unions, right now, still want to keep the schools closed, while the teachers continue to be paid. We now have a lost generation of children, academically and emotionally, thanks to this endless lockdown. The teacher’s unions are, at best, indifferent.
Many union leaders (auto workers?) cannot deliver the votes of their own members, because the rank and file have recognized that the union leadership’s indifference to the little guy includes them; that schism may be one of the weaknesses that saves us from the corporatist scourge.
Corporatism, aka Fascism.
Fascism like the one currently on display under Biden’s administration…It was Rockefeller that invited the elite to join the government in a Pubic-Private Partnership in 1972 in one of the many offshoots of the Triliteral Commission…it’ the marxist democrats helping the private sector completely strip workers, citizens, taxpayers of all their rights with censorship, not at the hand of the government, mandates, not a the hand of the government, green passes, not at the hand of the government, no all these requirements are being implemented by the Private sector on behalf of the government in return the government makes laws that favor these businesses. The pattern goes further and further until full fledged communism and technocracy rule the roost…
Who replaces him?
Meh. Are we supposed to care?
Worked and spoke with with too many of Trumka’s union members during the 2016 campaign. No one, no one, is mourning this as a loss.
Will never repeat the stories as I gave my word, but guaranteed Satan is having a big time in the old town tonight.
Trump Won.
sundance has all the pieces for a Picture Card Board Game…
Everyone gets dealt a hand that includes these fecal faced traitors.
The goal of the game is to rid your hand of them…
I wonder if the Clinton’s were still pissed at him.
He deserves a very warm room in the basement and I hope the heat is blaring.
Likely in hell.
Keep those prayers a coming.
Trumpka is replaced by Liz Shuler until a new election is conducted.
International Brotherhood of Electical Workers, the same Union that fronts for most of US Big Tech labor.
Young, Union Activist, key Union going Forward vs future of US economy, demo-fascist, 1st FEMALE Leader wthin AFL-CEO leadership.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Shuler
And they say no news is good news:-)
He was nothing more than a thug and his rise to power was accomplished with the help of the mafia turning every international union in to a Communist, top down Totalitarian style of dictatorship only global marxists, Marxist Democrats, and Karl would applaud…may God have mercy on his soul…
I know, right? It’s that whole “there is no honor among thieves” thing on the cosmic level. The Leftwing jackals always betray and murder each other, Satan seems to enjoy duping his most devoted minions.
Trumpka knew what he was doing. Now he pays.
They’ll have to send his fat ass to a rendering plant to get cremated.
Tonight he sups with Ted Kennedy, Ruth Bader-Ginsberg, Hitler and Stalin.
They’re having decayed rat covered in dog feces.
Was Trumpka ever a passenger on the Lolita Express?
I doubt it, those people weren’t into beastiality.
GREAT NEWS!!! This rats ass has been aligned with every left wing outfit since he stopped wearing diapers… Whatever circle of hell he’s working in tonight I hope it’s an eternity of pain and sorrow for the damage he’s done to our Country and it’s workers… Also, nice Karma for his major role in The Big Steal back in November… Drinking champagne to celebrate his well earned demise…
Well……Bye.
My mini violin is in the shop for repairs.
A dirty Communist DEAD!!!
Heartbroken…..
RIP Richard …..you will be missed ?????
Breitbarted by Heart Attack…. Nuff Said.
Nah.. more like the Lord working in mysterious ways.
Probably and ironically the jab. Just saying.
Hmmm… apparently he didn’t get the memo.
Funny Name “Trumka” , I wonder if it is short for Trumna, appropriate!
Just lost my senior neighbor, around the same age as Trumpka, to pericarditis, blood clots, and pneumonia. He was hospitalized for 10 days, came home for a few days, and back to the ICU on a ventilator where he died shortly thereafter. He had the mRNA jab a few months ago.
The gene-serum that they call a “vaccine.” It’s not a vaccine. It’s an experimental genetic compound derived in part from the bodies of aborted human infants.
A dollar to a donut says you’re right.
obama really loves himself don’t he. such a Narcissist, he needs to realize he’s just not loved as those who were fooled in 2007, many have lost that thrill over him. He needs to pay attention.
