Hat tip: Steve Sailer. The byline says "Peter Buttigieg is a management consultant in Chicago and a fellow at the Truman National Security Project. Nathaniel Myers is a political analyst in Ethiopia."

No American "vacations" in Somalia. Was being a lobbyist for Somaliland part of Buttigieg's "private sector" experience?

He was never private sector. He has been CIA since high school more than likely.

It's two countries - Somalia and Somaliland. I didn't know that and couldn't explain it now, but I think he went to the one that wasn't a chaotic hell-hole.

It's clear that they weren't tourists. The Truman National Security Project has ties with lobbyists, and Buttigieg may have been involved with them.

Fox News a few nights ago was pronouncing his name as "Boot-A-Judge."

LOL!

Anything except "Butt-Guy'g."

We stayed onlhy a night, but that was plenty of time to write an article for the NYT and pick up a few extra bucks.
Although we know absolutely nothing about Somalia or Somaliland, we felt qualified to write an article which the NYT published because we are members of a reproductive minority.

I would wager that a homosexual “vacationing” in a 3rd world country is largely based on some planned homosexual contact in a “no tell” society. Likely including “younger” males.

That environment existed in the San Francisco bath houses in the 80’s. That had some unintended/bad consequences.

IF Buttgig did have some CIA reason to visit there (entirely possible), you can be sure that getting some strange young tail was up front in his consciousness.

Their “hotel’s” pool bore a remarkable similarity to their hotel’s sewer. But Buttgiggity felt right at home.
