Re: Wife Pete Buttigieg, win by Losing?
« Reply #51 on: February 14, 2020, 09:50:33 AM »
Unlike most of the  others, Mayor Pete can 'win' by losing.  He is very young and raised his profile.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/02/14/mayor_pete_just_cant_lose_142398.html

Amy also can win by losing; she could be somebody's VP pick.  Most of the others are done rising by losing:  Bernie, Biden, Warren, Bloomberg come to mind, even if they win the nomination and lose the election.

I partly disagree on Pete.  If / when his star quits begins to fade in this weak field, his moment may have passed.  Like Marco Rubio, he will need to start over and build something real from the ground up.  Pete probably can't do that in Indiana, will need to relocate to be elected like Mitt did.

When the magic with Butti is gone we will see there is no there there.  What was his big stand?  What was he known for?  What were his accomplishments?  Nothin', nothin', nothin'.  He can stand there with his Alfred E Newman smile and say, I'm not Bernie, I'll take us  to single payer without telling you.

2021: 'With us today on Face the Nation is former Presidential contender, winner of the New Hampshire primary Paul Tsongas, er, I mean, second place finisher Pete Buttigieg'.  Whatever.

Wrong with the rifle?:  The picture is dark in the relevant portion, but it almost looks like the mag is in backwards?

As far as I can tell, the mag is OK.

His rear sight is folded down. Not an issue if he had an optic on it. A rifle with no rear sight is about as useless as a tits on a woman to Mayor Pete.

He wasn't on any sort of serious military operation. This was a photo staged for his political career.

I am thankful for his service, but he is highly vulnerable to having a Michael Dukakis-like photo moment in the campaign.

Butti, Warren, Klobby

they all have or will have their thumbs out trying to hitch a ride with Sanders and Bloomberg.

Biden likely to sink and screw up again like he has done for 30 or 35 yrs.

Wife Pete goes out on top
« Reply #62 on: March 02, 2020, 06:20:04 AM »
Bye :evil:

At first I thought this was a strategic play for VP, but wife Pete was about to win exactly zero delegates in the 14 super Tuesday states tomorrow after spending a gazillion dollars and after finishing essentially first in Iowa.  He sold just before his stock dropped to nothing.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-buttigieg-dropped-out/

He is really, really good and smart and dynamic and charismatic...  but he just can't compete with the likes of Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Mike Bloomberg, Liz Warren or Amy Klobuchar.

Pete out leaves Joe Biden as the youngest man running for the Democrat nomination, and Trump the youngest man running for President.

Pistol Pete Buttigieg, corruption in South Bend?
« Reply #69 on: March 03, 2022, 08:41:05 AM »
This of course is under the news radar:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10521059/Pete-Buttigieg-took-250k-donors-awarded-33M-city-contracts-mayor.html

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg’s donors were rewarded with over $33 million in city contracts during his eight years as mayor of South Bend, Indiana, according to a Daily Mail report.

There were 23 companies that donated to Buttigieg’s mayoral political action committee who were later awarded millions in city contracts. Between the companies, their executives, and spouses, $253,750 were donated, resulting in at least $33,280,426 worth of contracts between 2011 and 2019.

Along with monetary contributions to his campaign, the companies gifted Buttigieg alcohol, cigars, and golf trips valued at hundreds of dollars.

Two firms, Abonmarche and Donohue & Associates, received hefty city contracts on the same they donated to Buttigieg.

The Mail reported:

Donohue & Associates president Craig Brunner and his wife Sandra gave $1,000 to the campaign on August 8, 2017, the same day Brunner’s company was awarded a $150,000 job by the city.

Two weeks later on August 22 that year, Abonmarche’s board chairman John Linn gave $2,000 to Mayor Pete’s campaign. The same day, the South Bend BPW approved a $75,700 contract for the company.

Abonmarche executives gave a total $12,870 to Buttigieg’s political funds between 2012 and 2018, and the company won $616,790 in city contracts.

Shockingly, Buttigieg appointed Eric Horvath, a former American Structurepoint executive, as director of South Bend’s Department of Public Works, the entity responsible for granting taxpayer money for construction jobs. Horvath’s appointment to the board came after American Structurepoint co-owner Marlin Knowles donated more than $1,000 to Buttigieg’s campaign in 2011.

The following year, American Structurepoint received a contract for the South Bend Smart Streets Project, which reportedly had a $25 million budget.

Taxpayers Protection Alliance president David Williams called for an investigation into Buttigieg’s political donations and every contract awarded by South Bend’s Department of Public Works.

Pete Buttigieg, quid pro quo?

Yes.  Not quid pro quo in any new sense.  I'm not expecting prosecution, just pointing out a filthy, despicable, unmistakable correlation.  People who pay in get paid out - with a greater than one hundred-fold return.

Don't tell us he's some new kind of politician.  He's a newer face telling the same old false lies using the same old corrupt methods of getting and keeping power.  Like AOC and Omar, he plays the game like the Clinton and Biden crime families, just on a smaller, newbie scale.

The top 100 problems with Pete Buttigieg being a potential President of the United States, leader of the free world, do not include that he's gay.

Less experience than Jimmy Carter.
Failed at his current job.
Never had to make payroll.
Clueless on economics.
Wrong on foreign policy.
Dishonest.  Some things that come to mind.

Being gay is the only plus he brings to the table.  Without that, he would have a one in 330 million chance of being noticed for higher office.

Transp Sec Buttigieg complains of emissions, flies private jets

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pete-buttigieg-flies-taxpayer-funded-private-jets-flight-data-show

Pete Buttigieg often flies on taxpayer-funded private jets, flight data show
Biden Cabinet member has taken at least 18 flights on taxpayer-funded private jets, despite calls to curb carbon emissions
-------------------------------

[But Doug, you can't believe how important his work is, hindering transportation for Americans all over the country.]

I post his lousy hypocrisies because he is a future President wannabe.

I'm sure his business in New Hampshire is of the official government sort.  They wouldn't now how to get around federal government help?

Isn't the fact he needs to travel by private jet a sign of federal transportation failure?  What will he do about it (in his second term), propose private jets for all?

Would a straight man get away with such awful job performance?

Seriously, how could things have gone worse, supply chain, ports, trucking, highways, now aviation.

Not his fault I'm sure (like Bidenflation) but if things went right or got fixed it would be to his credit, right?
