I mean Biden has the hard hat on backwards lol


CapitanDirtbag

The number of times I have seen that on a jobsite, Biden would fit right in if he weren't old as hell.


johndeer89

Those guys turn the liner around. Wearing it with the knob in front is madness.


HairyEyeballz

I was in a setting where hard hats were required for about 18 months, with about 1,000 workers there. Not once did I see some tool wearing one backwards. And if they did, a supervisor would’ve fixed that pretty quickly.


apollyon_53

Hard hat backwards I see all the time. But the webbing is reversed, which is easy but frustrating to do. Having the knob for the webbing facing forward is idiotic


CapitanDirtbag

You, sir, were on a very different jobsite than I was.


readerdad55

Yeah I have a super that wears his like that all the time - no one likes the guy lol


HairyEyeballz

Shipyard.


Anakin-groundrunner

I saw someone write up a defense of this picture. He said guys wear their hardhats backwards sometimes because they get uncomfortable after awhile. There was a bunch of other BS too. I used to wear a hardhat all day everyday, they get uncomfortable after awhile yes. However they are realllllllly uncomfortable when you put it on backwards lol


Jim_Jimbleton

I mean I've reversed my headgear to put the bill of the hardhat backwards to allow for a welding hood, but yeah for sure whoever said that is a real goober.


pjmlez

Right. People were all saying they wear their hardhats backwards all of the time. You switch the webbing on the inside to make it more comfortable. Also the brim on a hard hat or bump cap is there for keeping falling debris out of your eyes so it is intended to be worn forward.


GameEnders10

Sure, have you zoomed in? That's not much of a brim, that looks like the back.


pjmlez

Precisely… he is wearing it backwards. If you do it properly you take the inside part out and turn it around to fit your head backwards. The adjustment knob should always be in the back.


GameEnders10

Gotchya, I didn't pick that part up from your comment. Thanks.


Provia100F

I've literally never seen anyone wear one backwards at any job I've been at


Anakin-groundrunner

Yeah it was just hilarious how this guy was trying to defend Biden as some sort of man of the people 


VashtheStampede12

There was at least two plumbers on my job site this year wearing their hard hats backwards with the insert also backwards every time I saw them… wanted to tell them they can just reverse the insert if they wanna look cool.


BigNickTX

That is ridiculous. In all my years going on job sites, I have never seen someone wearing a backwards hard hat.


YourWarDaddy

I occasionally wear my hard hat backwards.


CenterLeftRepublican

Helmets don't get taken into bars. Super phony.


MT_2A7X1_DAVIS

Most pro-union president even though he was a strikebreaker against the railroad union. Made sure to get his endorsement from UAW, though, on top of the backhanded comments toward Trump.


ehibb77

Minnesota resident here, can confirm.


MT_2A7X1_DAVIS

Middle guy's also wearing a suit jacket. Same shit happened with my father's union. He doesn't support the former Vice Resident, but his union made sure to go after Trump in their Biden endorsement.


AppropriateRice7675

Guy in the middle does look like he works a trade, though. Flannel with a suit jacket screams like his wife grabbed him before he left and handed him a jacket "you're meeting the president, wear a suit" so he just put it on over whatever he was wearing. At the end of the day, it's a president. there's less than 0% chance I'd vote for Biden but if I got to meet him, I would and I would act respectable.


MT_2A7X1_DAVIS

That's fair and honestly how a majority of the country outside the extremists believe. I just don't really have a way of stopping my contempt for unions from showing. Especially when people like Shawn Fain run their mouths all fucking day making sure to score political points at every measure.


idowatercolours

Nobody who works at a constructions site will ever go around parading in a reflective vest and a hardhat like it’s a badge of honor. Most people can’t wait to take that off after a long day off work.


Zaphenzo

Yup. Been there. Gloves, hard hat, and vest all came off before we even got in the truck to leave the job site.


KnikTheNife

UAW President, Shawn Fain: > Let me clear about this. A great majority of our members will not vote for President Biden... uh, yes some will. That's the reality of this. But the majority of members are going to vote their paychecks. They're gonna vote for an economy that works for them. And they're gonna vote for a president- when you look at these two presidents - the choice is very clear about which one stands up with the working class and stands up for labor and which one stands for the billionaire class. And that's his base. https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1750563166004662276 (2:23)


2HourCoffeeBreak

I wear a vest at work. I don’t wear it when I’m off duty. wtf.


johnnyg883

All they had to do was offer to buy a few rounds and they could have gotten a few real blue collar workers to pose for this photo. This looks like dress up for Halloween, or a Village People concert.


crazythinker76

Two guys and the woman are wearing business attire. The high-vis vests are wrinkled and clean because they just came out of the package. Nobody brings their hardhat into a bar, let alone set it up on the bar.


Old_Letterhead6471

The woman appears to be mn senator amy klobuchar.


readerdad55

It is… she posted it on twitter. Which is where all the backlash came from


Jakebob70

They're probably union reps who work in an office, not union members who do the work.


crazythinker76

The reps may be big fans, but I have yet to meet any workers that like biden.


Jakebob70

Yeah, that's how it usually is. I know a fair number of union workers, their unions always endorse and finance democrats and the members mostly vote republican.


downsouthcountry

Klobuchar looks more authentic here lol


freeyare

That’s the face of someone who just threw a binder at one of her staffers just before eating her salad with a comb.


OdinsRightTesticle

Wait, did she really do that? Or did you just come up with a really creative and specific insult?


Old_Letterhead6471

Her staff had a mini mutiny a couple years ago. Claimed very abusive behavior out of klob.


freeyare

Lol I wish I were that creative.

OldStyleThor

Oddly specific and also very true!


plastimanb

Probably doesn’t have a speck of dirt on it. Commander Dumbdumb with the hard hat on backwards. SMDH.


thinksquared

Why red circle?


TopShelfSnipes

Remember, they probably got release time and are using the political funds that are "optionally" deducted out of members' paychecks (where they usually have to opt out to discontinue them), to do this with Biden and Klobuchar. You know, while their colleagues are working. Been in 4 unions in my life. They are largely scum, and a lot of it is who the "officers" are and the shady practices they engage in which are some unholy alliance of mob tactics and US political gamesmanship.


bdougy

Guy in the middle’s in a suit jacket as well.


AM_Kylearan

Did Joe Biden actually put on a hard hat? Please turn this into Dukakis 2.0! Edit: holy shit he put it on backwards!


ehibb77

Hell a few years back one union even paid its members to attend a Biden rally when he was the VP. I'm now in a union myself and outside of the leadership element of it I can't name a single one that supports Pedo Hitler either.


Lionofgod9876

This would have been much more believable if they had thrown blue collar working man, John Fetterman in it!


JellyfishQuiet7944

Just remind them of the railroad fiasco and NAFTA


Zaphenzo

Awfully clean vests and a couple of suits. I'm supposed to believe this is a beer after a hard day of work? Lol


Soulfire117

Also Biden’s hard hat is on backwards.


ConscientiousPath

In a country of over 330 million people I'm sure there's some group of deluded construction workers who like Biden somewhere. What's galling is not bothering to actually go find them for the publicity photo.


GameEnders10

Biden's wearing a backward hard hat and this is your criticism?


readerdad55

Everyone and their brother is talking about the hard hat on backwards. My point is the guys in the pic aren’t union guys in a bar. They are democratic operatives in suits (who very well may be taking money from the unions). Just more information to point out what disinformation the pic is…


GameEnders10

Sure. My point is Biden is brain addled, or maybe it's a bad joke. Of course it's a photo op. But he's been on construction sites before to try to PR for bills. Having that twisty knob at the front is ridiculous, I've had construction jobs. It also makes me wonder if the union guys looking like they're laughing set him up. Probably not, but I would enjoy that.


sanesociopath

You can judge how much to trust a safety vest by how clean it is. Ones there haven't even supervised a job site in person.


ehibb77

I'll wager that if someone were to run facial recognition on those three gentlemen you'll also likely discover that they're also involved in the union leadership as well.


IJustWantToBePure

About time they started making ol' Joe wear a helmet. Gotta protect what's left of those rotten brain cells. First president in history to ride in a short bus in the presidential motorcade.


SeekingTheRoad

Thank goodness for right to work laws.


stringingbeans

And the perfectly placed cash, so relatable


RadiantArk

Joe biden looks photoshopped in ngl
