***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[rolaholic]

This **** is sad, not funny. I've got several coworkers that I'm friendly with who unfortunately think this way. Was just talking to a guy yesterday and he was confidently telling me that he thinks he is different. He worked hard and earned his place here (been here like 30 years). "It's all of these new people that are coming in" that are "lazy" and get all of the assistance that he didn't, and they deserve what is coming to them.

He is convinced that they're only going after "criminals" and that he's safe. I had to remind him about how he told me he was a crack addict for the first few years he was in the US, after crossing illegally, and that he told me he has a DUI on his record and is driving every day on an expired license. Zero awareness for how precarious of a position he is actually in, and that even though he may think that "criminal" means murderers and grapists, everyone who got here "illegally" is within that category to the people calling the shots right now, and they're casting a wide net as soon as they get in any door, whether home or business.

Donald Trump and Tom Homan don't distinguish between someone who came here under asylum from Haiti two years ago or someone who came from El Salvador 30 years ago.

That coworker needs to realize real fast that it's not only 'criminals' at all and move accordingly...

You’re thinking of the NALC (letter carriers) union President, and yep, he sucks. Not sure about cancer, but yeah carriers don’t speak fondly of him. Especially after he recently was tooting his own horn about securing them a 1.3% wage increase for carriers.

I’m APWU and we have a pretty solid union, thankfully. Could be better, but it’s the best in USPS. Without it I wouldn’t work here—management already tries to do what they want knowing we have rights. Couldn’t imagine how it’d be here if we had zero protections. That said, I work in a craft that doesn’t touch mail, so they mostly leave us alone and let us do our thing.

Glad you aren’t in that union, I know he’ll get voted out but the dude just wasted everyone’s time forever. 1.3% raise isn’t even a raise, non union guys get better than that.

At my last job I had to carry around my contract and just show the boss what I would and wouldn’t do.

it could always be better but at least your union is halfway decent.

I was a teamster at a state job and I swear it was the most bum union ever, I know they have a million locals but the one in mn public sector is worthless.

In 2025 a union is huge, might not be perfect but you can at least vote on things to make change.

I’m private sector now IUOE and they are great.

Imagine your great granddaddy came here illegally now you get the boot along with your kids. Wild.

I'm currently a letter carrier and the mail I deliver for some of the MAGA folk on my route is just mind boggling. All elderly too being fed these nasty lies. I deliver stacks almost every other day with a new lie/spin for them to get worked up over.

We work with this dude who worships trump…

So we did what anyone would do and signed him up for all sorts of democrat news letters and everything specifically to embarrass him in front of the mail man because he’s insecure af.

Dude nearly had a breakdown over it. We still kept doing it though.

Also kept putting pro lgbt Kamala stickers all over his work truck. He’d drive for days and not notice them.

I don't have a coworker to clown unfortunately cuz everyone seems to be pretty left leaning, even the older heads in my PO.

I do however love scaring my customers. I got an old lady who chats with me every time i deliver her mail (she be standing RIGHT there by her mailbox...) and I tell her all the evil things I be doing like how i was a groomsman at my gay homie's wedding last weekend or that i got my 4th covid booster. She does this look Every.Dam.Time.

 

[mplsdunk]

for sure losing a door and possibly killing everyone.

dude old people always think everything is a safe place for their ********, then when you say something like that they can't handle it.


my job is like 50/50 but even the dudes voting trump bully tf out of this dude because he's so over the top, I mean the dude was in the army for 20 years, combat vet ptsd out the *** and severe anxiety.

we should let up but nope he's gonna kill us all one day.

the media keeps miscategorizing the OPM email/offer everyone got as a buyouts when it is actually a deferred resignation ie you agree to quit by the start of the next fiscal yeat (Sept 30). It’s clear who is behind it too as Elon seems to have just ctrl c, ctrl v’d the whole thing from the email he sent twitter employees in 2022

I wasn't too big on yelling "stolen election" when the Dems lost, but stuff like this is starting to make me rethink that.

This SHOULD be getting major attention. Every Dem and media outlet that isn't a c-word to Trump SHOULD be talking about/reporting this.

This doesn’t affect me, but: In this ‘honorable discharge’ mindset, I am surprised this has to be decided on by employees by already next Thursday… the question of whether your position would be eliminated anyway sometime in the next year if you don’t take it, has to be on the minds of most.

This is bat**** insane

And WTF at not naming adults that are sabotaging government agencies. MSM is so cooked

Took Nvidia one day to get back half of what they lost on Monday. They may be up by eow. Deepseek all style no substance, market has spoken

No just like Crypto AI is being treated to big to fail. NVidia does have value but not the inflated price we saw

That Ether

The target EVP that ended the DEI program. Wonder what the motive of this is.

I'm really guessing she's just a puppet and was voluntold to end it. But you never know.

My family and I are boycotting target. We’re going to costco and Trader Joe’s more. We’re also cutting back to a single Amazon account between 7 adults to only use for things we need but can’t buy locally. A year ago 5 of us each had their own accounts.

It’s as much out of disgust for the companies as it’s the fact Trump has all of thinking we need to cut back on spending in preparation for a larger **** storm or to cover the bills of our older family members.

 

[Wargames]

I keep saying this but America’s downfall is completely related to a citizen united. At the very least it makes politicians into full time fundaraiser which hinders their ability to govern at worst it has made the system of oligarchs we see now and has completely defanged the Democratic Party.
