BLM Leaders Turn On Biden, Express Outrage At Picking Buttigieg For Top Cabinet Post
By Ryan Ledendecker

Former Vice President Joe Biden, who was declared “president-elect” by the Electoral College this week, has spent the past several weeks announcing a slate of Cabinet and other top positions within his incoming White House administration.

One of those selections for the coveted Cabinet position of U.S. Secretary of Transporation is former South Bend, IN Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who made serious gains in the 2020 primaries but ended up dropping out prior to Super Tuesday. He was also the first high-profile candidate to throw the entire weight of his political street credit behind Biden.

Adding to that, Buttigieg went on to make numerous cable news appearances during the campaign to stump for Biden and act as one of his top spokespeople. For that, the small-town mayor was handsomely rewarded.

It will be fun to watch the jackals battling with the hyenas. I see the next four years of Dem disasters as paving the way for a Republican victory in 2024. As long as the *ahem* right candidate is chosen.

I don't know why they have a problem with Buttjigger, I mean he does have experience, being an expert in tunnel boring.

He obviously just ain't black enough!  :rolling:
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

They're upset because Buttegieg has a poor race record as mayor of South Bend.  But then so does every other Democrat politician in America.  Biden chose him because Buttegieg has been very effective in driving South Bend into the ground, and he hopes to repeat that at the federal level.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Biden picked the South Bendover Buttboy to check off a box.  Nuthing to do with picking a qualified person for the job.  It is all optics.  Now as far as BLM being pissed?  They are alsorans.  The JV team of SJW.  Alphabet people trump your blacks and browns in this country. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

QFT It is all done by formula, because these people won't be setting policy, they're just poster children.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well to be fair, South Bend has been in a downward spiral ever since Studebaker folded, but Buttjigger did seem to find the accelerator pedal for the short time he was actually doing his job.
