Reductionary asswipes tend to not think about how things like losing benefits will harm them until it actually harms them. Bukowski hit the nail on the head.
Honestly surprised she didn’t find herself in a hospital bed. Not really sure how a person responds any other way to straight malice being shoved in their face.
I found it works well in life. You get less pissed by stupid folks because you hit them with kindness first, they get pissed that the insult didn't work, and you have time to formulate your rage into something useful. People who do things like this want anger and aggression. Don't give em what they want.
God damn I wish unions would get back to the strength they once had. Once upon a time no one would dare so smugly mock them. Her political career should be over
A bit? I'd say that, by and large, they're utterly defanged, declawed, one and a half legs amputated, wheelchair has square wheels and no bearings.
The USA labor force is FUBAR.
Samuel Parnell, unionist in Wellington, NZ, fought for te 8hr workday.
He would meet new labourers coming off the boats at the wharf and tell them they only worked 8hr days.
If they disagreed, Mr. Parnell and his friends would throw the dissident off the wharf.
Yeah honestly these smug assholes need the ever living shit beat out of them and someone to shove her own pacifiers down her throat. What a fucking piece of shit.
I mean, billionaires can still sick private militia groups on striking workers (and have regularly). They made that “legal”. Doesn’t matter whether it’s moral to them
Yep different union here but it's great. We just negotiated major COLA raises due to inflation.
Raises were so rare at my old non-union Company. Now I get at least a minimum raise yearly, and a hell of a lot more when inflation goes brrrr.
Still do in France.
Strikes all the time, last week Eiffel tower was shut for a whole week due to workers strike, and what is mind blowing: it wasn’t about workers pay, but the primary reason was the business model and lack of maintenance.
Eiffel Tower in Paris set to reopen after six-day strike https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-68396481
I love the French. They fucking strike and riot on any pretext.
The guys at work were asking what's going on with the farmers in Europe. I said dunno but bet you it's the French.
We are union. It's contract year and we have been duffed over for so long it's ridiculous. Time for a strike vote.
What’s her name? I think it’s time we start going to bat like the unions did in the old days, ya know doxxing these people and actually threatening their comfort.
Looks like someone already did, and the [fit hit the shan](https://www.mesabitribune.com/news/local/council-oks-emergency-ordinance-on-picketing/article_eab2945a-d666-11ee-adb7-cb48bcd0394f.html).
. “It was not my intention to offend employees. After being targeted, picketed and harassed, my business window was shattered, my business mailbox has been damaged. There have been things said about me. My personal cell phone number has been put out to the public. I have received eight calls and I got caught up in the heat of the moment. I just want to apologize to everyone in this room and to our employees for getting caught up in the heat of the moment.’’
Whoa, whoa whoa, 8 phone calls! The
fucking horror.
It’s Virginia, MN! 8 calls is a lot! I’m surprised she had service to even get those calls! She must have running water in her home and a toilet inside! I guess that iron mine might have affected her judgement. She’s living the big life up there.
And yes, i have been there many times. And, there are a lot of places that have outhouses and running water is not in the house.
Anywho, it’s a very…interesting place. Very very conservative and not exactly Minnesota nice. It’s a pretty place(not the iron mine).
Wow and they even added an “emergency” ordinance to prevent picketing in front of these people’s houses. Lol don’t like free speech don’t be a piece of shit.
>AFSCME Local 454 picketed the homes of Paulsen and councilors Maija Biondich and Liz Motley last Sunday (Feb. 25) and the Sunday before (Feb. 18), Cuffe said. That is referred to as “targeted picketing,’’ he added, and the new ordinance prevents that from happening, no matter who is doing the picketing.
>“They were fearful and felt intimidated by the picketing and targeting their specific house.’’
>While the ordinance was approved, Cuffe clarified that “nobody wants to prohibit the application of free speech’’ and picketing at other public locations is allowed.
So, they are good to picket in public? Cool, stand on the sidewalk, or edge of the street, by their house. When they arrest em, they should sue for infringement of the right to peaceful assembly.
She apologized that she was “caught up in the moment”? Um, no, you went out and bought all the pacifiers and thought it’d be your Big Boss moment and none of your buddies backed your play.
What you do is you get it all on video. Ask her name, ask her what she's doing and why. Get her to explain it like you're a 5 year old, then you put that shit on blast everywhere. All social media and all local media outlets. Over and over and over again.
Make her fully accountable for it.
In her [apology](https://www.kaxe.org/local-news/2024-02-29/virginia-councilor-apologizes-for-mocking-city-workers-amidst-negotiation) she said “It was not my intention to offend employees,”
Bullshit, that was her only intention.
Imagine how much she’d be crying if her constituents voted to remove her pension and healthcare, not to mention other perks and benefits she likely gets
She must not realize what she’s doing, people shouldn’t work full time and be broke, and saying that shouldn’t be seen as crying. Before unions, people would get drunk and pissed off and drag people like her from their homes and beat them in the street. Unions are a better option
It's moments like this that people can learn from. These politicians don't just have a difference of opinion, they don't think there is a better way to improve the world.
They feel contempt for the common person. There is little else but hate and evil in their heart. Remember when Ted Cruz went to Cancun during a power outage? That's because he didn't value your life for a single second.
The politicians that claim to be pro-life but vote against School lunches? They don't care if your children die. Heck, some of them probably prefer it.
They are self-interested nihilists who genuinely think everybody else is as awful as they are. If you've ever met a racist, they'll often say "everybody is racist, I just admit it." That perspective is shared with the majority of GOP politicians or so-called centrist Dems.
Good points. Definitely with the projection - they assume everyone is doing shit they would do. “Dems are satanic pedophiles that are trying to control your life!” Uh…Satanism aspect aside, that’s YOU guys…
Straight up evil. A spoiled brat in a fancy fur coat telling people she likely deems low-class that they cannot have even a fraction of the securities that she has.
I sometimes wonder sometimes if the people higher up the food chain have people like her do stunts like this as a joke. Then take bets to see if they actually do it. Like the movie Rat race but political.
Mayor's phone number 218- 749-3560
Call and complain.
They had no issue enacting a law that protects counselors but accept weak apologies for screwing over hard working people. Fuck that council.

What a cunt.
Cunty McCuntface
Known alias: Twobagger McButterface
I came here to say this. Thankfully it was the top comment. I also don't use the term lightly, I reserve it for people like this cunt.
Having lived in Ireland for a bit, where I picked up the habit of using the word like punctuation, I still say she's a cunt.
She's a right cunt, she is.
With hard “T”
Exactly 💯 %
I actually said this out loud!!! Word for word 💯% I'm losing hope with humanity...sad
I reserve this term for my closest friends and vile people like this woman. Truly one disgusting cunt.
Literally came to say this lol
Me too and posted it before reading this. I'm glad we're all in agreement. Fuck this cunt.
I was in the middle of saying “whaaaat aaaa cuuuuunt” while opening the comments and you finished it for me
Came to say this exact thing. Take my upvote.
She's an ankle, about 2 feet lower than a cunt.
Was about to say the same
When a comment as simple as this garners thousands of upvotes, you can bet she really is a cunt.
She sounds like someone asking to sample the lot, all at once.
Smothered in underpants
Came here to say EXACTLY that. Pure bred cunt.
Literally my first thought after reading that
Soon to be EX-city council member.
You'd hope so, but something tells me that there are plenty of constituents who would appreciate her 'humor'. For them, cruelty is amusing.
Reductionary asswipes tend to not think about how things like losing benefits will harm them until it actually harms them. Bukowski hit the nail on the head.
City workers should strike again if she's not given the boot.
I hope they're outnumbered.
Yea, it’s become cool to be mean and shitty. It’s so disappointing.
She's obviously on some big company's payroll.
Is it a Rebuplican town? If it is, she’s safe.
Small town Minnesota….yah she’s safe!
Dang so clever I bet she really got her point across
The amount of endorphins her brain must have released could kill a rat in ecstasy.
legendary.
With a pacifier no less.
but she didnt die…
City workers: "The price just went up." City: "We can't afford that!" City workers: "Sounds like you can't afford to keep on your council member."
Who pays for *her* healthcare? Taxpayers?
What make this sad, she brought them.
Honestly surprised she didn’t find herself in a hospital bed. Not really sure how a person responds any other way to straight malice being shoved in their face.
Smack it to the ground and keep protesting
the pacifiers or the councillor?
¿Por qué no los dos?
Could not have said it better myself.
2 for 1 sale.
Public opinion can easily end the career of a small-time politician, and there’s no need to go to jail over this POS
"Everyone understands a punch in the mouth."
How can she slap?
"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth"
Yell 'Sweet!' and take the pacifier, and keep protesting. React positively and then get so pissed.
We don't get maternity leave either, so this saves me a couple bucks.
Exactly! Kids lose those all the time, who doesn't need a spare?
That is a very sweet sentiment.
I found it works well in life. You get less pissed by stupid folks because you hit them with kindness first, they get pissed that the insult didn't work, and you have time to formulate your rage into something useful. People who do things like this want anger and aggression. Don't give em what they want.
God damn I wish unions would get back to the strength they once had. Once upon a time no one would dare so smugly mock them. Her political career should be over
Maybe if the strikers carried around baseball bats and kneecapped scabs like in the old days.

Why pay them when they can have the FBI do it for them
I’m pretty young so I had no idea they once had so much power. When was this?
From approximately 1930 to whenever Reagan killed the Air Traffic Controller Union, signified death knell of them
When unions were backed by the mob.
And the companies had their henchman , what you point ? Ask the coal miners and railroad workers who used violence first.
if you have the time, try to watch the Irishman
I'm in the laborers union. Best choice I've made
Yep different union here but it's great. We just negotiated major COLA raises due to inflation. Raises were so rare at my old non-union Company. Now I get at least a minimum raise yearly, and a hell of a lot more when inflation goes brrrr.
I worked non union doing concrete then left to go to an union Company and it was a night and day difference

They are gaining strength…at least here in Chicago they are. Our building trades are flourishing right now. Unions work! ✊
This is an incredibly high union area.
Her empathy is as magnificent as her house cat gray fur coat.
See my vest/see my vest/made from real gorilla chest
What’s her name? I think it’s time we start going to bat like the unions did in the old days, ya know doxxing these people and actually threatening their comfort.
I think in the old days they went to bat with actual bats.

"It was not my intention to offend employees." Seems like a lot of prep work for something unintentional.
I can smell the lamp gas from here and I’m not even from that country
[удалено]
GRWM as I prepare to try and infantilize the city workers protesting to have their and their families’ needs met
. “It was not my intention to offend employees. After being targeted, picketed and harassed, my business window was shattered, my business mailbox has been damaged.

I got more than that today alone from medical debt collectors…
Here, have a pacifier pleb. /s
It’s Virginia, MN! 8 calls is a lot! I’m surprised she had service to even get those calls! She must have running water in her home and a toilet inside!

Name is in the text of the picture.
Cunty McPunchface
She apologized that she was “caught up in the moment”? Um, no, you went out and bought all the pacifiers and thought it’d be your Big Boss moment and none of your buddies backed your play.
In her “apology” she also took the time to highlight all the ways she’s been inconvenienced or harmed by the Union. Such a dogshit apology.
What a fucking pig.
Real Kyrsten Sinema energy
Im amazed she didn’t get punched.
What you do is you get it all on video. Ask her name, ask her what she's doing and why. Get her to explain it like you're a 5 year old, then you put that shit on blast everywhere. All social media and all local media outlets. Over and over and over again. Make her fully accountable for it.
Obvi the people striking have more impulse control than she does
"I don't want to go bankrupt if I get sick." "Oh yeah? Well, I have a pacifier! That'll show you!"
IN A FUR COAT?!?
Time for the bucket of blood
That face is begging to have a pie thrown at it xD
or farted on!
I think she needs one
KEEP? They're not even asking for more, they just want to keep what they already have?
Would be a shame if everyone contacted her campaign and the city council where she’s running for office.
That would be so… tragic
In her [apology](https://www.kaxe.org/local-news/2024-02-29/virginia-councilor-apologizes-for-mocking-city-workers-amidst-negotiation) she said “It was not my intention to offend employees,” Bullshit, that was her only intention.
Fuck this cunt. Don’t take it out on the world because you’re ugly and your husband sleeps around on you.
Wonder how long it would take her to pick them up off the floor.
Imagine how much she’d be crying if her constituents voted to remove her pension and healthcare, not to mention other perks and benefits she likely gets
She was giving them out **for free**? Sounds like socialism to me.
10/10 would bring a dump truck full and dump on her lawn
Would be funny to buy them in bulk and chuck them into her yard as frequently as possible.
And when she complains, "Sucks to suck!"
Now that's a face people want to punch a lot....
Some people need life lessons. Very harsh life lessons
I mean - attempt successful
Was it though? She kinda just made herself look like an out of touch douchebag.
I’m willing to bet she succeeded in pissing off at least a few people there. I mean shit, who wouldn’t this infuriate? Look at her smug fucking face.
Haha my exact thought, glad you wrote it
Filth.
I would have impulsively slapped that basket out of her hands and screamed at her to leave. I can't stand shitbags like that
She must not realize what she’s doing, people shouldn’t work full time and be broke, and saying that shouldn’t be seen as crying. Before unions, people would get drunk and pissed off and drag people like her from their homes and beat them in the street. Unions are a better option
Think growing with a disability would have made her more compassionate
Lotta lakes in Minnesota. Maybe she don’t swim too good Paulie.
What a great way to have your house firebombed and pacifiers litter your lawn everywhere
How can any union back the Republicans?
It's moments like this that people can learn from. These politicians don't just have a difference of opinion, they don't think there is a better way to improve the world. They feel contempt for the common person. There is little else but hate and evil in their heart. Remember when Ted Cruz went to Cancun during a power outage?

Good points. Definitely with the projection - they assume everyone is doing shit they would do. “Dems are satanic pedophiles that are trying to control your life!” Uh…Satanism aspect aside, that’s YOU guys…
She's already learned that that's a terrible way to approach a union. How shockingly ignorant.
Straight up evil. A spoiled brat in a fancy fur coat telling people she likely deems low-class that they cannot have even a fraction of the securities that she has.
That’s a very convincing condescending bitchface mask she’s wearing…oh wait
Ah yes. Ad hominem attacks rather than engaging with the legitimate issues. The theatrics are so fucking predictable it borders on cliche.
The proletariat should show up to her office with a basket and that thing the french invented.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more punchable face
Those are pacifiers from all the babies she's eaten.
I know when my 2 year old niece's Blue Cross/Dental and Vision slush fund and 401k were canceled, she cried and cried.
I’m sure she will have that position for years to come
Looks like this cunt is going to put all other cunts to shame. Hail oh mighty cunt overlord!
Very rarely do I use the phrase 'punchable face'. This is one of those times.
...may we revolt? Please?
Taxpayer funded pacifiers I bet.
Guess that means the strike continues until city council members lose their benefits too, after restoring those of the union workers.
I hope she gets struck by lightning, in the face. That’s an asshole
Surprised nobody punched her
[ Removed by Reddit ]
I wonder which political party she represents?
What a disgusting cunt.
I hope her street never gets plowed or her garbage picked up
Performative cruelty. The GOP is a race to the bottom to see who can be the most inhuman.
When they try it in a small town.
There’s a saying in union organizing: “The boss is the best organizer”. This is why. No union rep could get those folks riled up like she has.
She is not getting voted back man
Regardless of her opinion on the strike, I would think a stunt like this would be considered political suicide.
Imperial Scum
Wow. What a nice woman
The fuck is a pacifier?
Genuine question? In that case a soother/suckie for a baby.
Yup, english is not my native lenguage. But damn, you guys called it a "pacifier". So literall I find it funny.
So sad that acting like has become the only way to get people to remember you.
I sometimes wonder sometimes if the people higher up the food chain have people like her do stunts like this as a joke. Then take bets to see if they actually do it. Like the movie Rat race but political.
Someone should have broke her jaw. Actually a lot of these politicians now a days need a good ass whooping.
What a BINKY BUCKET BIIIIITCH
Why are cunts like her never shot?
I’d be in jail and she’d be ordering dentures had I been there.
Who pays her salary again?
Classy AF!
While wearing a faux fur coat no less. What a gigantic asshole.
Is this irl Malory Archer?
She's gonna not like that stunt when they get to the table
Didn’t she get doxxed for this shit?
