So this is how you govern!

Way to go Joe and Marty!

So, that's how you govern. Bring management and labor together to negotiate an agreement on pay, benefits and working conditions all the while avoiding what would have been a major hit to the U.S. economy and American consumers. Who knew!?!

We all know that the MAGA's wanted to see a strike happen along with the price increases and empty store shelves because chaos and disruption are good things as long as that means they get to stick it to the Democrats and install their corrupt fat assed hero. Too bad President Biden and Labor Secretary Walsh averted the whole disaster and now with 56 days to go yet another cynical wish has gone up in smoke for the MAGA's.

Come on November 8th!

so many 'family and friends' went to the 'dark side' and became MAGAts because of what they read on Fecesbook!

Once you donate you’re virtually bombarded with emails and messages linked to donation sites.

They are much more likely to get what they want with Dems in control of the House and Senate.
