US POLITICS DEMOCRATS ON THE OFFENCE MeidasTouch: Dems Score EARLY WIN in Senate that SHOCKS MAGA Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11RrUoy179E Peter Burgess COMMENTARY Democratic Congress members Adam chiff from California and Andy Kim from New Jersey have just been sworn in early ... something I did not know was possible ... but very good for these two Democrats! I don't know whether Trump will achieve anything good that is of substance, but I am scared that he might generate a very damaging level of chaos. While Trump 'won' the election this past November, around half the voters voted against Trump. It is also apparent that many of the people who voted for Trump are already having second thoughts ... as well they should. Many of the people who voted for Trump are already realizing that there will be nothing of substance for them ... and that Trump is nothing more than a very effective 'bullsht artist' with absolutely no substance backing anything up! Trump can do damage. Trump will probably do substantial damage! Peter Burgess*

just filed clure on the nominations of Lauren mcfarren and Joshua dyberg to be members of The National Labor Relations Board 7:01 the nlrb Lauren mcferrin's term expires December 16th and people have been saying Schumer we need to protect the nlrb protect him get mcfarren and get Joshua idleberg new terms Republicans are freaking out about that they want to gut the nlrb heck Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos two three weeks ago they were in court before their favorite judges at the fifth Circuit Court of Appeals telling their judges the nlrb shouldn't exist now here's the thing folks that I've been talking about when all of some of these union leaders and union workers are supporting Donald Trump trump and Elon Musk and Bezos and the billionaires they want to destroy your union they want to gut the nlrb which is where you go one if there is disputes over the existence of your union the very rights of the Union are are adjudicated before the National Labor Relations Board and individual 8:01 claims go before the National Labor Relations Board also it is a forum for union workers how could you not support this and Elon Musk is trying to gut this and get rid of it Charlie Kirk one of Donald Trump's uh top influencers and um one of Trump's most kind of powerful AIDS right now uh Char Charlie Kirk goes Chuck Schumer is trying to Ram through Dem activist Lauren mcfarren for another term chairing the National Labor Relations Board a very big deal if successful we will have a Dem chair of the nlrb for the first two years of Trump's presidency we need every GOP Senator to show up and block her by the way this Elon Musk propaganda anti- nlrb propaganda is just Next Level get all these people saying call your Senator to vote against sworn enemy of Elon musk's Free Speech right because Elon musk's so pity me they're trying to shut down my free speech right by me trying to stop unions from forming this 9:00 it's pity me the $500 billion doll person pity me one of the issues is though and I'm glad Chuck Schumer is moving quick right now I mean I'm glad the Democrats are making the Right Moves get Andy Kim get uh Adam Schiff get them in right now it's so important let them gain seniority let them get ready for these confirmation hearings I love that and I love that Schumer's pushing um to make sure thems control the nlrb but I agree with this comment right here I think when Trump gets in he's going to fire mcfarren he's going to fire dyberg it's going to be uh there's going to be litigation over his right to do it Democrats are going to say he doesn't have the right to do it he's going to say that he can do whatever he wants with these positions that they're at his discretion it'll go to the Supreme Court and I think ultimately unfortunately the Supreme Court will probably let Donald Trump fire these people but but put them on record let Donald Trump have to fire 10:02 them and then I'll make some videos for all the labor people and say look he's firing the most PR labor people F around then you find out Adam Schiff posted the following statement I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve all Californians as their next United States Senator my family came to the Golden State when I was just a child in the hope of finding a strong economy safe neighborhoods and good schools and we found all that we could hope for in those respects today our state faces very high cost of living and incomes that have simply not kept pace in the Senate I will do everything I can to bring people together to tackle our housing crisis to create an economy that works for everyone and bring down the rising cost from Health Care to child care I will be a tireless advocate for Californians in every part of the state and work across the aisle to deliver on day one California is the creative Hub of the world with tremendous resources 11:00 brilliant creative hardworking people at the same time I will not shrink away from my duty to defend our democracy and will vigorously protect the rights and freedoms of the American people and the people of California I recognize that I stand on the shoulders of giants former Senator Diane Feinstein leaves behind an
