Omaha Steve gets off his sluggish ass and finally reacts

But the problem is, the big guy's reaction to the Supreme Court decision re: labor unions is pretty dull, colorless, without imagination or creativity.

FREE graphic thanks to SCOTUS decision

after which the "free" graphic--I'd supposed they were all "free"--a sticker proclaiming I'M STICKING WITH THE UNION

Just one response at this point.

1. We have a graphic and they have the Supreme Court.
I like the graphic but the practical fact is that Trump, for once in his life, tweeted something truthful.  The Janus decision will hurt public-employee unions and, as Trump said, Democratic coffers.

His first sentence is brutally practical, if somewhat hyperbolic. 50 or 50 million memes won't change the Janus or other USSC decisions. And Kennedy's retirement threatens to change a fence-sitter vote into a constitutionalist vote.

Re the part I bolded, it's interesting how casually JimLane assumes the D Party and unions are two sides of the same coin, financially.

Maybe as a public service for the Good of Humanity, to help out our friend Steve, our colleague GOPCongress can make up something better?

In his sleep, and in a deep coma, I bet he can.

Actually coach, I think AK had their pants down and applied the paddle sternly to their swollen asses in such rapid succession
 that they still haven't grasped all that has happened.

The unions are going to actually have to produce something tangible if they expect to get paid or even more public sector employees (formerly held hostage) will begin to bail.  In the future you are really going to have to "look for the union label".

It is rather like someone put LSD in the punch at a DU social.  They are all over the place not knowing what to do or think.  The whole Ocasio-Cortez Socialist election has totally befuddled 'em.  Maybe the Sandman was right, go Socialist, or should it be "My party right or wrong" as the old school advises?  DU is dividing into factions once again. 

On top of that, Mad Max has been forced to cancel a trip to Birmingham over security concerns.  Oh the horror.  Racism rears its ugly head again or Mad Max opens her pie hole once to many times?  Which could it be?

Hadn't heard about Mad Maxine's new drama queenage:

U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-California, has cancelled a planned trip to Birmingham due to security concerns. She was scheduled to speak Friday at an annual conference for black female politicians, local officials and community leaders.

Waters was supposed to address an audience of black women for the National Organization of Black Elected Legislative (NOBEL) Women's Annual Legislative Conference, which starts today and ends Sunday. But NOBEL President Karen Camper, a state representative from Tennessee, confirmed that Waters was no longer coming because of security reasons. Details about the safety concerns have not been released and it's not known if a specific threat were made.
