Biden Taps Pete Buttigieg for Transportation Secretary

Buttigieg, who mounted a failed bid for the Democratic presidential primary, is set to be nominated as transportation secretary by the man who did win the primary and the general election, President-elect Joe Biden, several news organizations reported Tuesday.

Buttigieg, 38, attracted attention during his 2020 bid for president with his combination of progressivism and pragmatism – his health care plan was called "Medicare for All Who Want It," a move toward a single payer plan without forcing people to give up their private insurance. His hyper-intellectualism contrasted with his "Mayor Pete'' accessibility. He kept his sexual orientation private until 2015, when then-Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which allows people to assert religious beliefs as a legal defense.

As mayor, Buttigieg initiated a program called "Smart Streets," which added bike paths, sidewalks, roundabouts and other infrastructure improvements meant to make downtown more pedestrian-friendly and appealing to new business. He has said the project spurred more than $100 million in direct investment, revitalizing the urban area.

Just what we need, a Red Diaper Baby as the head of a national security agency, DOT. Well, in his case, it will help explain the term “piggybacking” and “hi-balling it down the highway”.

DOT is kind of a blah agency. He knows nothing about highways of course which is over half the budget. FAA has just completed the biggest upgrade in it’s history so that’s done, about all he can do is piss money away on high speed rail and buses and EV stuff. No one could name more than one or two DOT secretaries in history.

Biden’s clown show. What a predictable disaster and it is going to get much worse and nauseating.

Prison. That's funny. That's what we said about the Klinton Krime Kartel 20 years ago.

There is no justice when it comes to corrupt politicians. Repugnants or democRATs.
