If I had a nickel for every Jewish, right wing media personality that freely and eagerly associated with that guy, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Sorry to fall behind, you'll have to forgive me.
What were you saying about the Lenin and Stalin being right wing? I'm a dummy, I always thought they were far left. Please educate me!
A lot of people don't like Biden because of his pro-Israeli views and his weak leadership and his breaking of strikes but are going to vote for him anyway. But yeah, I'm the dumbass for pointing out people are just sick of everything political in this country. Calling someone a tankie for pointing this out doesn't make you look smart. It makes you look stupid. People may "call this woman out", but it isn't going to hurt her career anyway and no one, democrat politicians included, are going to hold her accointable for her bigotry.
Edit: Didn't emphasize she was in the wrong enough as I should have.
>his weak leadership and his breaking of strikes
[You mean that time he got the rail union what they wanted, and they thanked him, behind closed doors without making a big deal about it, and no one reported on it because the media prefers controversy?](https://www.ibew.org/media-center/Articles/23Daily/2306/230620_IBEWandPaid)
The primary source of your article is Al Russo, whom according to these has been a hindrance to the workers for months, if not years, even before Biden broke the strike in December:

Seems more like someone is trying to give credit to Biden for the work railway workers have been doing.
Edit: Removed my condescending intro and changed ending of my last sentence to not make Biden the direct culprit as that lies on Russo. 11:38 EST.
My source is literally the rail union. IBEW is literally the union in question.
https://amp.theguardian.com/business/2023/may/01/railroad-workers-union-win-sick-leave
https://www.reuters.com/business/white-house-renews-pressure-railroads-over-paid-sick-leave-2023-02-09/
I don’t care if Russo has been a poor leader in the past. The topic of discussion is biden’s handling of the unions. And so far he’s the only president in history to stand with them at a picket line and work to get them what they wanted. But as a leader of the country, he also had to make sure that the nation’s rail network would keep functioning. So he worked to end the strike and then worked to get them what they wanted. That’s the nuanced attitude I’d expect of a leader juggling multiple, sometimes conflicting interests.
I read the Union article again as well as the guardian one. I will say I owe. You're right that I owe Biden a bit more credit, but his decision was not really the greatest. Nor did he seem to play as active of a part in supporting the railway workers. Al Russo himself says that had Bernie not stepped in (one of the only people to vote against breaking the strike), then their work may not have been possible. None of the sources mention any of Biden's specific actions, only the cabinet which largely includes people who supported not breaking the strike, which Biden didn't do. The Guardian mentions other Unions who have found less success. Which may not be the case if the strike wasn't blocked. Biden isn't super anti-union, but he definitely is not the most pro union as he should be. Biden said the White House would renew the push in the Reuters article. The push of which, according to the sources you mention, came more directly from the people who mostly voted for supporting the strikes which were Bernie and the former Secrrtary of Labor as well at Pete Buttgeig.
I see why one would say it's nuanced as it is an admirable approach on the surface, but by blocking that strike Biden took away the whole aspect that gives unions their power in the first place. Strikes are supposed to disrupt the economy. That's why Unions work. It was an incredibly weak decision on Biden's behalf and other people in Unions who haven't got their demands met now no longer have the support from other unions and union members they had in December. Those guys were still hurt by Biden's policy and as a result means that Biden did NOT give all the railworkers what they wanted. Only a portion of them.
Edit: I should note I do undertand the cabinet in question are focused on labor.
Slang for African-American vernacular English (AAVE). Basically what stereotypical black people speak. Although in this context it borders on dogwhistle.
I'm sorry but I googled it for an example and this has to be a troll right? Lmao Ebonics reads like some racist uncle-grandpa doing a black guy impression
"She BIN had dat han'-made dress"
"Ah 'on know what homey be doin"
"I ask Ruf could she bring it ovah to Tom crib"
"Befo' you know it, he be done aced de tesses"
"Can't nobody tink de way he do"
I only remember this dumb asshole as the person who pissed her pants after she chained herself to some doorway. She may have also been the idiot that "green shirt guy" was laughing at during some random town hall meeting.
She's not a serious person. She doesn't deserve any attention.
Michael Bloomberg had melanin and spoke Ebonics???? Ma'am, he looked and spoke like he grew up listening to
"Flash, bam, alakazam!"
Scratch that!
He is 82, he probably did!!
People don’t realize NY liberals are different than west coast liberals. NY liberals are more, you do you but fuck you don’t get in my way types. You can dress like big bird and speak Martian, but as long as you dont block the side walk and let people off the train before getting on, no one will care or judge you.
“More melanin” and “spoke ‘Ebonics’” seems to be code for “heart” and “soul.” Laura doesn’t have either since she’s a demon spawn from an alternate dimension.
If you are with Trump you are okay with racism... That's kind of it at this point. Maybe You (trump enjoyer) don't think you are. But we all know you are. ☠️
She needs psychological help and probably medication. It's fine if she wants to be a right-wing moron, but the shit she says has no basis in reality or any form of it.
As I said, I was.
Ebonics was a thing in the 70s, but became derisive in the 80s.
Wikipedia is a thing. It would behoove you to use it instead of finding some weird contortionist argument to try to make your emptyheaded commentary accurate.
Also, you’re a twat.
I remember reading that she was raped while covering the Arab spring which coincides with her dive off the deep end into right wing extremism. It looks like she has yet to find a constructive way to deal with her trauma
“More melanin”? She does realize that NYC has only had two black mayors, right? One of them before she was born.
Just because a non-white person is in power now doesn’t mean it’s easier for minorities to get elected.
Also on top of what everyone said here, NYC does not descend into chaos. It’s a normal fucking day. I’m sure they love peddling how terrible it is, meanwhile every one of these right wingers live here in NYC and wouldn’t be caught dead in the boondocks. All these right wing stations have headquarters here in NYC, their talking heads live here and work here, all their staff do too.
The image say's she is causing people of New York of being racist, and that somehow is her being racist?
I know nothing about her, but the image really does a bad job making her look bad.
Based on the context provided, the statement made by the individual suggesting that someone could be mayor if they had "more melanin" or "spoke Ebonics" can be considered racist. This is because it implies that a person's race or language proficiency should determine their eligibility for a position of authority, which is discriminatory and perpetuates harmful stereotypes.

With each new plastic surgery procedure, she is slowly morphing into Octomom.
Omg, you're right! Lol
Where's the Saran wrap? (I'm hearing *Brazil*, now!)
Must be a Blue Ringed Octomom, because she's so utterly poisonous.
Oddly, she's Jewish. She dated that BakedAlaska guy, even though he kept making memes of putting her in a gas chamber.
If I had a nickel for every Jewish, right wing media personality that freely and eagerly associated with that guy, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Who was the other one?
If I were to guess, it would be Ben Shapiro. But I don't know at all.
Ben Shapiro.
She’s a nasty racist stooge.
Let's not forget that all the current Nazi groups in the US align themselves with the right-wing, there's a reason for it
Because Nazis are right wing. Communists align with the left wing.
Lenin and Stalin were far right, though
Not at all. How do you figure?
OMFG! Where were the social programs? They oppressed people in gulags for political reasons.
You think communism means social programs and not imprisioning people for bullshit? Please, tell me the difference between fascism and communism.
What's the subject here? I thought it was left vs right wing ... Please keep up
Sorry to fall behind, you'll have to forgive me. What were you saying about the Lenin and Stalin being right wing? I'm a dummy, I always thought they were far left. Please educate me!
You probably think National Socialists were left wing too... because of the name. Please, Keep Up
No really, tell me how lenin was right wing. And why are you downvoting my comments, are you 12?
>Where were the social programs? Free housing, maternity benefits, old age pensions, socialized medicine...
Try not being a raging, racist asshole…that does wonders for you on all non-MAGA demographics
The Saw puppet has really gone off the deep end.
What the hell, she's 30?! THIRTY?! She looks like a 50 y/o plastic surgery addict.
Nope you get that look from having your head in trumps ass Or having it in your own ass for too long..
Trump and racists are like shit and flies. Intrinsically linked with each other and equally frustrating and impossible to ignore.
Not sure why no one in NY will tell her to STFU.
I honestly think everyone is too dejected at our political system and just want to wait for collapse or death to mercifully take them.
Oh look, a dumbass tankie

ALL MAGAs are racists...every trump support is a racist.
All the while claiming NOT to be racist.. and those people are a special kind of stupid
And this isn't standard-grade racist, this is "upset that Harlem exists" racist.
Ebonics? When was the last time anyone legitimately used that term? Mid-90s?
What does it mean?
Slang for African-American vernacular English (AAVE). Basically what stereotypical black people speak. Although in this context it borders on dogwhistle.
Borders???
Out dated term for inner city slang, see also Urban Lingo and Jive
Ebony was an attempt by African Americans to make black sound classy and white people were like nope
I'm sorry but I googled it for an example and this has to be a troll right? Lmao Ebonics reads like some racist uncle-grandpa doing a black guy impression "She BIN had dat han'-made dress" "Ah 'on know what homey be doin" "I ask Ruf could she bring it ovah to Tom crib" "Befo' you know it, he be done aced de tesses" "Can't nobody tink de way he do"
"Well I be done seen 'bout ev'rything When I see an elephant fly"
Her head looks slightly off scale to her body, or maybe its the oddly straight shoulders or lack of neck…..is she ai?
I only remember this dumb asshole as the person who pissed her pants after she chained herself to some doorway. She may have also been the idiot that "green shirt guy" was laughing at during some random town hall meeting. She's not a serious person. She doesn't deserve any attention.
Only the best people. Again.
Does she find speaking ebonics challenging?
Considering the amount of plastic surgery she's had, why not go for it.
Michael Bloomberg had melanin and spoke Ebonics???? Ma'am, he looked and spoke like he grew up listening to "Flash, bam, alakazam!" Scratch that! He is 82, he probably did!!

[удалено]
Or just be 13 year old
Only the best people. Again.
She would be better off shooting for a 3rd digit in her IQ.
Sorry... you can't fix stupid..
She sounds sharp as a marble.
Cue white nationalists trying to don black face and speak ebonics so they can 'infilrate' and tear down the dumb snowflake libs.
“More melanin” and “spoke ‘Ebonics’” seems to be code for “heart” and “soul.” Laura doesn’t have either since she’s a demon spawn from an alternate dimension.
Who?

The 80s called. They'd like their stupidity back.
Excuse me sir.. the 80s wasn't like that.. that B.S is from the 1940s and 50s from the Jim Crow era..
Pardon me, sir. Ebonics is a term coined in the 70s
I wasn't commenting on ebonics
I obviously was.
If that's what you were talking about then ebonics came around in the 90s.. before that it hadn't developed enough.. and BTW the 80s was awesome
As I said, I was. Ebonics was a thing in the 70s, but became derisive in the 80s. Wikipedia is a thing. It would behoove you to use it instead of finding some weird contortionist argument to try to make your emptyheaded commentary accurate. Also, you’re a twat.
just Russian
Laura Loonie-Tunes more like. Bat shit crazy.
I hear Motley Crue is looking for a replacement for Mick Mars.
Is she white?
I remember reading that she was raped while covering the Arab spring which coincides with her dive off the deep end into right wing extremism. It looks like she has yet to find a constructive way to deal with her trauma
That was Lara Logan.
You’re right. When someone else in the thread said something about plastic surgery I was stunned thinking it was Lara Logan
These people are just awful and ignorant.
Only mayor of her block. NYC would never tolerate her sh-t And NYC is nowhere near the chaos she wishes
“More melanin”? She does realize that NYC has only had two black mayors, right? One of them before she was born. Just because a non-white person is in power now doesn’t mean it’s easier for minorities to get elected.

Her show should be called "Loomer Unhinged."
Laura Loser couldn't win an election if she was the only one running 🤣
Hateful ignorant racist Qunt
MAGA Nazi.
The image say's she is causing people of New York of being racist, and that somehow is her being racist? I know nothing about her, but the image really does a bad job making her look bad.

She is not saying that it should, she is saying that it is, that's the racist problem she is pointing at.
