Why Pete B. Prefers Diapers

Pete Buttigieg may be politically driven, but in his new job as Secretary of Transportation he seems as effective as a speed bump on the road to relieving the supply chain hang-up at our Southern California ports. His clueless inaction suggests that he was tapped for that cabinet post because his seven-month tour of duty in Afghanistan included occasionally driving other personnel in a Toyota Land Cruiser outside “the wire” of his camp and along the clogged streets of Kabul.

Like other Joe Biden cabinet appointees, such as Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Buttigieg appears to be struggling in his new role, though all three men boast impressive academic credentials.

While he was at Harvard and Oxford, Buttigieg vehemently opposed the war in Afghanistan, but later adopted a pro-war stance that at the time was embraced by most progressives. Following his conversion, he joined the U.S. Navy Reserve.

Two years into his first term as mayor of South Bend – and during the worst scandal of his administration -- Pete was called to active duty and deployed to Afghanistan, leaving the control of the city temporarily in other hands. Benefitting politically from his military service, he was elected to a second mayoral term.

Mayor Pete’s tenure was plagued by racially-related problems. And in terms of safety, one report in 2019 put South Bend in the 31st percentile, meaning that 69% of American cities were considered safer.

I thought the headline referred to diapers for himself, but I didn’t want to think any further about the anatomical abuse that would cause such a need.

Hey Pete, you can give the child raising to your wife - Dr I meant husband - and get to work, since YOUR WIFE - SORRY HUSBAND - isn't working...

Or you could resign!! 🤓

Butthead didn’t “drive” anyone - he has never had a drivers license. In South Bend he rode his bike or was driven by his staff.

Most of Judas Joe’s appointees are empty suits taking up wasted space who get nothing done.

He is just another liberal token. A gay, “husband”. That is the only way he was “elected” mayor and the only reason appointed further.

A token. A marker. In this case, for obvious liberal worthlessness.
