Amateur hour: Pete Buttigieg's inexperience exposed as supply chain breaks down
The Hill ^ | 10/13/2021 | JOE CONCHA

Posted on 10/13/2021 6:29:55 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Three years ago, the only people who’d ever heard of Pete Buttigieg were likely to be residents of South Bend, Ind., the town of 103,000 people where he served as mayor.

South Bend is home to Notre Dame University. It has a bus station with a fleet of 60 buses, a small train station and a small regional airport. So, who better for Team Biden to nominate as secretary of the Department of Transportation, which employs more than 58,000 employees – more than half the population of South Bend – and has a budget of $87 billion?

This is what you get when you put someone into a top position because they are gay and a mayor of a POS town in Indiana.

Incompetence? I doubt it. More like intentional. If he was hired to actually RUN the DOT, it’d be incompetence.

Democrats believe sexuality is a criteria for leadership. They are bombastic, dishonorable fools.

"Ships wait off the California coast, unable to unload their cargo."

The cargo ship drops anchor in unfamiliar holding location and punctures oil pipeline, causing oil spill off the California coast.

Haven't figured out whether the supply distribution breakdown is due to complete incompetence, or whether it is by design, to bring petroleum energy industry to its knees. Or maybe both.

Hey, remember, he was running to be president. These people all thought anyone could run a country, especially the voters. They thought the election was a personality contest. The morons have almost destroyed this country while clutching their pearls and whining about the “insurrection”.

The media give ButtPlug pass after pass - just as they do Biden.

It’s not “really” a town. It’s a blue city where the bleeding heart morons voted for this idiot because he’s an ass muncher. Nothing else. Just to prove they’re leftards with an agenda to fag up everything.

True enough. Since he’s a homosexual, he’s a member of a grievance group, and criticism of him is verboten due to his membership in said grievance group. That’s how it goes.

Having once lived in South Bend, I can attest that it is one of the most segregated small cities I’ve ever seen.

Democrats don’t care about qualifications. Diversity is their strength! Skin color and sexual orientation are all that matter. He would never have gotten that gig if he wasn’t gay.

“Remember when President Trump was President and things worked”?

That’s right.

And remember when President Trump saw a problem and fixed it?

DJT would not have allowed this BS to get out of hand.

It’s not incompetence. This is the plan, and it’s working just fine.

He was a horse crap mayor, and dementia Joe put him in a much more important federal position.
Why? Because he’s a homosexual.
That’s it folks.
He’s would fail at running a Dunkin Donuts shop, but because he is a homosexual he is in a position to screw up Americas transportation system.
