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….
I personally knew Trumka many years ago when he was first running for the presidency of the UMWA. Since that time this social climber has stepped on and ruined many, many peoples lives on his way to the top of the global elite class. I know it is not what should be said of the dead, but, I have to admit that I despised this Communist POS.
Trumka falls into the category of; if he was an Commie SOB when he was alive then he is still an Commie SOB when he’s dead. In closing, I have to paraphrase a quote attributed to Mark Twain. I will not be attending the funeral, but I sent a nice letter approving of it.
We all have an appointment with death. Meeting that appointment does not change one’s reputation. The unvarnished truth is, if you’re a sorry SOB in life, following death, one is a dead sorry SOB. This applies to everyone.
That’s what the Elites (TPTB) can’t understand. This is natural law and it is a part of our nature. They have done their best to turn our reality upside down. But that only flies for so long. Eventually we all go the way of Trumpka in the end. Hope he’s burning hotter than most. He deserves it all. Lol I love seeing this type of stuff. Good riddance, and no I have no pity for this man. In fact, one day I hope to seek him out.
Yep, and how much good will all his ill-gotten money do him now????
“I know it is not what should be said of the dead…”
That small part is the only thing wrong with your post. Evil people do not deserve to be re-rehabilitated after death, and it does a dis-service to the living that continue to suffer under their policies.
I heard a pastor once say: God does not send sinners to hell. Sinners send themselves there by the choices they make in their lives. We cannot earn Heaven or salvation–we needed a Savior to do that. But we sure can earn for ourselves a spot in hell….
I love Twain/Clemons. He had an estate down the road from my grandparents, in Redding, CT. His estate is called Applegate. Passed it daily to and from school.
went there on a class field trip in the 7th grade
“If I don’t read the newspapers I’m uninformed, if I read the newspapers I’m misinformed”
Twain
IIRC
He doesn’t deserve any respect or condolences. He should have died sooner. Communists are the scum of the earth. I’m a Vietnam Vet I know.
along with a thank you card to “killiary” clinton as payback for his (trumka’s”) support of osama bin obozo??!!
It will be interesting to see if his replacement will stop the union push back against requiring their members to get vaccinated.
I know from a local level that the pushback against the vaccine mandate is VIOLENT. Our leadership got their asses handed to them by even suggesting it. Construction workers may not be very educated, but they are far from stupid. They will do whatever it takes to fight this mandate. This is why when I read that there might have been something other than a heart attack for that fat f*ck, I am not surprised.
There are extremely intelligent people sprinkled throughout all walks of life.
Not every smart person has a degree stuck on their wall.
I have been pleasantly surprised, time and again.
Many of the “degreed” in America are but 1 or 2 generations from farmers -the latter likely smarter than their progeny…
They might not be very “book educated”, but they have more common sense in their little finger than most people – otherwise they have succumbed to the Darwin Awards by falling off of a roof, electrocuting themselves, etc.
Kind of reminiscent of the “Party Politics” that went on when “Uncle Joe” was Retired ” and Nicky was In, I wonder which Commie will now emerge as the “New Enlightened” Leader.
If history is a indicator check out the calls for EMS and extended “Vacations”
“If you’re coming back into the workplace, you have to know what’s around you,” Trumka said in an interview with C-SPAN’s Washington Journal on Tuesday. “First of all, if you come back in and you’re not vaccinated, everybody in that workplace is jeopardized. Second of all, if we don’t know whether you’ve been vaccinated or not, we can’t make the proper accommodations to make sure that you are protected and everybody else is protected.”

Haha!
Sure sounds like he took it. But will seek out a photo op.
People I work with – those 50-60 – who took the jab have aged ten years, are huffing and puffing, and any stress sends them over the top – which exacerbates the whole mess that is now who they are.
The heat and exertion May put undue stress on the most vulnerable right heart chamber.
Trumka got dead. It’s a good day.
What they are probably experiencing is clotting in the capillaries of major organs. Unlike clots that happen in arteries that can knock you out in minutes once formed, capillary clotting is much more subtle. Symptoms take a while to show (weeks, months) and are often attributed to something else.
Capillary clotting causes tissue fibrosis and scarring–resulting in a slow collapse of that organ. So if vaxxd people are experiencing shortness of breath, they could be clotting in the capillaries of the lung. To know for sure, they should request a d-dimer test, which is the only test that can catch capillary clotting anywhere in the body (MRIs and xrays cannot.)
Medicine cannot reverse the fibrosis and scarring once done, but it can try to hinder it from continuing with blood thinners, which bring a whole new set of risks.
The important thing to remember is that organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys do not repair themselves. Once fibrosis or scarring sets in, they can only function at a lesser capacity, as damaged tissue is not replaced or repaired. This may well be what you are seeing in some of the vaxxd…..
Any person who was vaxxd more than one month ago may want to get a d-dimer test to see if they are clotting and it just hasnt manifested the damage yet. Do it on your own dime if you have to. Not trying to panic anyone here who has been vaxxd, but there’s a new reality you may have to deal with. The sooner known, the better prepared ……
Unions are a racket. End. Of. Story.
Should have gone out with high button shoes…..
Cement shoes!
Trumka got fat while he watched China eat the workers lunch.
Sold the rank and file – right down the river.
I imagine that was weighing heavily on his mind as he crossed the river STYX. I wonder if the boatman who rowed him across was a union member?
Heavily???
Well, I suppose, in relative terms…
Guess he won’t make the Vineyard birthday bash?
He has been unavoidably detained but he hopes to meet up with the gang at The Great White Throne gala event.
Just might…
Weekend at Trumka’s?
Adios MFer !
The real question that needs to be asked is “What did he know that was a threat to the current Democrat agenda and elected politicians?”
Everything.
Comment deleted by Admin…
High strung, stressed out, overweight. He was a heart attack just waiting to happen.
Where nature abhors a vacuum, I wonder what piece of sh!t will fill this void.
I bet you he wore a bipap or CPAP gear at night.
Just another POS.
The vaccine adores these types of people…just sayin’.
What do you bet he got the vaccine? A lot of well known men are being reported as just dropping dead for the last three weeks. They never say what they died of!
Some obituaries are more enjoyable than others.
“Richard Trumka, Dead”…what took so long?
My first thought, upon reading the praise of Democommunist leaders, was what would Bidung, Smucky Schemer and Nanny State Pelosi know about doing labor. Second thought, maybe the excitement of totalitarian Democommunism was too much for his heart.
Trumka is dead and as a result, the world is a slightly better place.
It’s strange that so many current leaders world wide and here at home are dropping like flies. It’s almost as if some ancient evil has decided to replace his current crop of GESTAPO KAPO’S with some much more dedicated true believers to finish the destruction of humanity. I got a feelin we ain’t seen nothin yet.
We ain’t seen nothing yet! The father of lies and evil is fulfilling his role as outlined in the Bible. Everyone had better figure out whether they want to stand with the sheep or the goats because the clock is running out and there won’t be any second chances.
I have to say I dislike many of the comments today. Not because your opinions don’t matter, but we at the Treehouse are better than that.
As SD writes, “live your best life.” Relishing in the death of an imperfect person by figuratively spitting on his grave is not what we need now. What we need is God, family, love, and brotherhood.
Richard will not be missed by most here. But it was the system that allowed him to become what so many of us are fighting. Don’t let that same system fill your hearts with hate.
Your first mistake ,your name “Footballfan33”
. Also he became what he was all on his own “But it was the system that allowed him to become what so many of us are fighting”
I’m fairly confident that God doesn’t accept “It was the system, not me” as a good answer when in we stand before Him to give an account of our lives……if God doesn’t accept this answer, why should we?
I choose to hate the sin, not the sinner.
“….we at the Treehouse are better than that…”
Actually–apparently not better than that.
In reality – the Jab Shamer isn’t up to speed on what is politically correct.
People take joy in many ways during a Reset when their number may be up at any moment. Richard’s death simply gave us a free pass to remember today.
Joy can take many forms and have many sources.
When emotions run high people often say things that upon later reflection they regret. I don’t think it reflects so much on the state of their character but more on the righteous indignation that normal people feel after a long period of abuse and accusations and mistreatment and the slander that they have endured for decades.
It was he, that allowed himself.
Period.
I get it but your expecting, albeit politely, a level of integrity for those here, lacking it in your opinion, but excusing it away for a man who literally, knowingly benefitted from the destruction of our country for his own personal benefit and corrupt ideology (if he even had one).
My “system” sentence wasn’t about excusing anything. My point was that in a system as corrupt as unions/communism are, Trumpka’s flaws were actually a feature. My final sentence was basically saying don’t fall for the outrage trap SD has warned us about for the past several years.
The World is a better place with this dirtbag…. and Football…
Dead and Buried !
Hope he packed light, it’s pretty damn hot where that evil SOB is going.
The devil was waiting to greet him with open arms. Devil says to Richard, “what took you so damn long?”
My sentiments exactly. What took you so long you commie POS.
Heartbroken??? ???? DS -1.
He probably got the jab!
OH wow. That’s so sad. Wherever shall we go? Whatever shall we do?
I’m sure he’ll still vote for the Demo/Marxist/Fascist.
Good riddens to bad rubbish
GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH!!!!
I’m confused, was he Arkancided or Breitbarted or a version of both?
It was both…..with a little Seth Richness on the side.
One down…….but we can’t expect the Fascists to do all the heavy lifting.
Kinda like ADE versus AIDs. One brought about by an Fascist gubment, the other brought about by….well you know..human monkeys./s
Aim small, miss small.
Hooray ??
All I wanna know, was he vaccinated?
Don’t forget the UAW got a huge gift during the illegal GM bankruptcy deal
that screwed over the shareholders and killed Saturn & Pontiac.
Joke Biden has been hyping JEEP a lot lately. Wonder why?
Made in china
Must’ve been a circular driveway, so he could remember where home is…
It seems to me that Mr Trumka is one of the conspirators that got off easy. I wouldn’t want to numbered among the thought leaders of this mass murder campaign when the full truth is revealed. There will no place for them to hide.
It means the jab is working!!!
If you got Chuck and Nancy saying nice things about you when die, then your pretty much toast on judgment day.
Satan needed him back urgently at HQ.
Another communist just arrived in Hell. There is, however, lots of room for many more….
THUG
Trumpka sold out his workers to the globalists to enrich himself. He pushed their lies knowing the real plan was to relocate most of America’s factories and manufacturing to China and Mexico. Killing millions of good paying jobs for Americans. Hopefully he receives justice at the Pearly Gates.
He’s Satan’s problem now.
Something nice.
He looks exactly like Stalin. In fact the last name Trumka is also 6 letters exactly like the aforementioned surname. Perhaps Stalin possessed him and cloned him as a second life.
But either way they’re both dead now.
Stress is a killer!
Finally one for the good guys. But there are some far worse than he was and far older. I won’t mourn any of them either.
We’ll NEVER know if his death was a result of the Lab Rat Jab, will we? BUT, let’s all sing…”Look for the UNION LABEL on those Lab Rat jabs”
Life on Earth just got 1 person better.
Roasting in HELL, at last. I bet he ain’t smiling now.
Trumka rose to power in the UMW, after its long-time president, Tony Boyle, was overthrown following his masterminding the assassination of an upstart challenger, Jock Yablonski. The UMW was one of the most (and that’s saying something) corrupt of all American labor organizations. That Trumka rose to power in it tells us all we need to know about Richard Trumka, who was a hypocritical (he made almost $300,000.00 salary and perks, nor counting all the under-the-table compensation), but typical “labor” leader. His communist sympathies, coupled with his personal venality were the perfect combination of traits for success during the Obama years. His leadership of the AFL-CIO (ironic that the organization was dominated by government worker unions, since its industrial base had been deliberately devastated by those who purportedly were working to improve the condition of those industrial workers) facilitated its use by communists and globalists to install political operatives into positions of influence. He was recently called a close friend by pResident Biden, His death will not stymie the plans of those who continue to plan the overthrow of our established order and the installation of a global hegemon to rule (not “govern”) what is left of the USA.
I make it a point to speak only good of the dead.
He’s dead – good.
Hope they didn’t bury him in a sweater, it’s gonna be hot where he’s headed…
No worries, another communist bully will be installed soon.
As usual, union leadership always does more harm to the union membership than good. I know this first hand.
Yea. So?
Covid???????????
Trumka was a Communist through and through. https://keywiki.org/Richard_Trumka
Any guesses who the vote counters will install to replace him?
The first thing that comes to my mind is how is Trumka doing now? The Bible says we will ALL stand before God when we leave this planet and those who do NOT believe in Jesus, like Trumka and the rest of the filthy left, will NOT join Him in His kingdom. So I just wonder how that sell out creep is doing now!
I have a pretty good idea where he is now, I read it in the Bible.
