How can you say these things unironically and not resign lmaooooo
The one thing I’ll give 🐀 is that other cabinet members don’t get clowned on enough. Vilsack over egg prices and epa person for rolling over and letting Norfolk southern do the cheaper but more destructive mitigation… god damn America
Greek Transportation Minister Resigns Over Train Crash; 36 Dead
They have more accountability in Greece than :amerikkka: .
Practically EVERY other country does this. People resign in disgrace ALL THE TIME. It's wild! The US is the only place where they can just... shrug at everything. The only resignations are like, people who get caught with a prostitute or whatever
Even then, Matt Gaetz is going on.
In America, Trump’s true legacy is showing that consequences don’t have to happen. Everything about “people won’t stand for this!” Turns out, they will! Especially if you get someone else to say it’s a fake accusation.
Now, to the left, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is the corporatist compromiser without the vision or guts to go as big as he should. To the right, he is the embodiment of elitist abandonment of real Americans, hopped up on his own grandiosity, who thinks more about social engineering than transportation.
It's nice to see the left and right finally coming together in highlighting what a rat fuck Pete really is.
he’s the only winner of the Iowa caucuses and one-time Jimmy Kimmel guest host to take a lower-level Cabinet job.
:data-laughing:
Some of this article seems way too honest from Buttigieg's perspective and I'm curious how closely his interview for this article actually matches up.
He said he failed to anticipate the political fallout from the toxic train derailment
This is so obviously true that it's hard for me to believe he said it.
Buttigieg says what he’d rather be doing is trips like Monday’s: Opening the first new airport terminal in Kansas City since Vice President Spiro Agnew was there for a ribbon cutting ... celebrating the groundbreaking on a record-busting $4 billion electric vehicle battery plant in DeSoto, Kansas, and talking transportation programs with students at the University of Missouri.
Those events are the things Buttigieg thought he was signing up for with the Cabinet job
Did he actually admit that the job was supposed to be as easy as we all had pictured it being? And did he actually express frustration at having some semblance of responsibilities attached to his enormous paycheck? I'm sure this stuff is exactly what's been going through his mind, but it feels way too accurate to have originated from his mouth.
It's weird because other parts of the article (like the entire last section) read like they were written by him directly.
He said he failed to anticipate the political fallout from the toxic train derailment
Yes, it's the political fallout that's bad. Not, you know, the chemical fallout.
