There’s a message behind Buttigieg’s lack of qualifications

Pete Buttigieg is completely unqualified for Transportation secretary – but many of Biden’s appointments are unqualified, and there’s a message there.

Pete Buttigieg is only the latest in a list of unqualified cabinet appointments Biden has been making. It’s one thing to reward loyalty; it’s another thing to hand cabinet positions to useless people. But that’s really the point – that they’re useless. Biden’s is a Potemkin presidency. Neither he nor his cabinet members will wield power. Obama and the Deep State are the ones in charge.

Drew Holden put together a series of tweets matching the drive-by media’s love affair with Pete Buttigieg as Transportation secretary versus it’s snarling hostility to Betsy DeVos’s appointment as Education secretary. While DeVos had long been interested in education reform, Buttigieg’s relationship to transportation is that he thinks airports are romantic and likes to play a board game about trains.

I understand that these two individuals are different, with different qualifications for different jobs.

But @washingtonpost, you’ve gotta recognize that when one nom gets a glowing write up of airport romance, and the other gets pilloried, that you’re sending a message, right? pic.twitter.com/8XRGMCoMS3

There’s also an interesting difference in the way that a lack of qualifications play into the matter for the coverage of these two.

For DeVos, it was a big deal to @NPR.

For Buttigieg? Well, haven’t you heard he loves trains and proposed in an airport terminal! pic.twitter.com/iYeLnSaSRn

You can see the rest of the thread here. I just want to stop with that issue of qualifications.

Is this an advertisement to invest in petroleum jelly ?

There isn't enough Vaseline to ease how hard the U.S. will be getting screwed if Biden is seated as President.

BiteMe and Heels Up are just two members.

I wouldn't even call them members. Hidey and Ho are to the deep state what Claudius was to the Praetorian Guard.

You made some good points. Personally I think Biden won’t be there long and Harris can get her identity politics trophy as first black woman “present”. Both are unqualified and will be run bu the people who ran the election fraud. The appointments are being made to unqualified people who will be run by leftists behind the scenes too. They would not want an appointment who might have enough capability that they might try to do something on their own.

You don’t need to be qualified if you have at least one victimhood status. All you need to do is announce that you are a member of a government-certified victim group and you’re in.

The Ultimate trump card is to be female, gay, trans, m*slim, Spanish-speaking, melanin-enhanced with a gluten allergy. You can be anything you want!

It is classical marxism. You are either oppressed or you are an oppressor. The Biden administration is trying to be a conglomeration of oppressed groups. The capable are the oppressors who will be taxed and subjugated to bring equality to the oppressed. The incapable will be in power, the capable will quit. The reason marxism/communism always fails.

Beijing Joe is hoping that having a bunch of dunces around him will make him look smart. Besides, BUTTPLUG placates the sodomites.
