Not gonna spoil it, but The Onion REALLY hitting the last sentence out of the park, as usual 😄❤️
Was not dissappointed.
Hey, you all gave it your best shot, but it looks like it’s a little harder than you thought to run a candidate who won’t be a national fucking disgrace, doesn’t it?” >
It's unfortunate that this rings true to many cities.
At least Buttigieg is now Secretary of Transportation and frequent FOX NEWS harasser. He did pretty well from some boy from Indiana.
I wouldn't really praise a McKinsey ghoul, especially one that took multiple trips to Iraq and Afghanistan for them.
So you have actual evidence that he did something wrong?
Yes, working for McKinsey.
So you admit that you have no evidence and that you’re just mad
Do you have any idea what McKinsey has done? Anyone who chooses to work for them with their history has questionable ethics at best.
Do you have any evidence to back up your claims against Pete Buttigieg, or are you just gonna keep deflecting?
Are you being obtuse? I can't make my complaints with Buttigieg any clearer. McKinsey is the epitome of what is wrong with our system. They spawned Enron, and were a major contributor to the 2008 financial crash due to their mortgage bundling manipulations, as well as more. Both of these were well known before he went to work for them. As I said anyone willing to work for them has at least questionable ethics.
So, you’re admitting that you made false accusations and have zero evidence to back them up.
Got it.
I didn't make anything up. Blue MAGA is infuriating.
If you call failing upwards "doing well", sure.
He's pretty good at cleverly pointing out the obvious about fascists, but actually governing, whether as mayor or secretary of transportation? Not so much.
What do you wish he did that he hasn't?
Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂
This is a low bar I know, but Mr. Buttigieg did waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Sen. McConnell's wife Ms. Chao as Secretary of Transportation.
Considering the current state of the world I think being very clear and clever at pointing out obvious fascism is probably something we need more of.
Agreed. Which is why he should be a pundit of some sort.
Not the head of a regulatory agency that has failed to regulate before disaster resulted on numerous occasions under his watch.
I don’t particularly call anything he’s done “failing”— esp his current job.
Btw, you should check him out kicking ass on Fox News. It’s hilarious. I don’t know why they keep having him on to keep embarrassing their hosts like that….
Eric Adams proved to be an asshole when he said he plans on retiring in the Golan Heights.
