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.

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.

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.

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.

[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?

Buttigieg and His Failures
« Reply #97 on: May 31, 2024, 10:47:12 AM »
Oh Doug … you’ll be pleased to know Petey mentions the “Inflation Reduction Act” while explaining his failure to get EV charging stations installed:


Another Bumpy Ride for Buttigieg
If you think it’s hard to find EV charging stations, try explaining the government’s attempt to build them.

By James Freeman

Some people think that Bidenomics simply means too much government spending resulting in too much inflation and too much federal debt. But what’s becoming more apparent is just how little Americans have been getting in return for all that consumer and taxpayer pain. To take just one category of senseless spending, this column doesn’t believe that government should subsidize infrastructure for the electric-vehicle industry. But even those who do ought to concede that the sluggish and expensive pace of this project makes it a boondoggle for the ages.
Last September this column noted the travelling travails of Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg as they tried to model politically correct voyaging via electric vehicles. A problem they shared was the difficulty of finding efficient and reliable charging stations.

This still seems to be a problem, and now it’s becoming an especially embarrassing one for Mr. Buttigieg, given how long he’s been talking about his plans to do something about it.  If electric vehicles ran on press releases, keynote addresses, memoranda and media availabilities, we’d all be driving them by now.

Even before taking office, Mr. Buttigieg tweeted in December 2020:

To meet the climate crisis, we must put millions of new electric vehicles on America’s roads. It’s time to build public charging infrastructure powered by clean energy and make it available in all parts of this country.

On the very first full day of the Biden administration, Jan. 21, 2021, Mr. Buttigieg talked about charging stations at his Senate confirmation hearing. He quickly assumed office and began issuing a voluminous record of statements on the topic. “We plan to explore best practices on how to help incentivize the installation of electric charging stations,” his department announced in a joint statement with Transport Canada in February 2021.

Impressive proclamations and pronouncements continued all year, culminating in a December 2021 crescendo with a press release issued by his department that said:

Two Cabinet Secretaries to Establish Joint Office to Support National Network of 500,000 Electric Vehicle Chargers

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg today signed a memorandum of understanding to create a Joint Office of Energy and Transportation to support the deployment of $7.5 billion from the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to build out a national electric vehicle charging network that can build public confidence, with a focus on filling gaps in rural, disadvantaged, and hard-to-reach locations…

“Transportation is responsible for the most greenhouse gas emissions of any sector in our economy – so it can and must be a big part of the solution to the climate crisis,” said Secretary Buttigieg. “With this announcement by DOT and DOE, we are taking a big step forward on climate by helping make the benefits of EVs more accessible for all Americans.” 

So how big a step was it? Sunday on the CBS program “Face the Nation,” Margaret Brennan decided to explore the results of Mr. Buttigieg’s oft-discussed policy. Ms. Brennan noted the Biden plan for most new cars sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2032 and also Donald Trump’s reaction to it:

MARGARET BRENNAN: … Listen to what he said in New Jersey recently…

DONALD TRUMP (R), FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT AND 2024 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Do you notice, he’s trying to save the electrical vehicle but not the gas powered, which is the vehicle that everybody wants.
They’re going crazy with the electric car, costing us a fortune. We’re spending hundreds of billions of dollars subsidizing a car that nobody wants and nobody’s ever going to buy.

Ms. Brennan then noted that sales of electric vehicles remain a small fraction of total U.S. auto sales and asked “why aren’t we seeing it move more quickly.” Here’s the reaction from the transportation secretary, according to the CBS transcript:

SECRETARY PETE BUTTIGIEG: Well, this is really important. Every single year more Americans buy EVs than the year prior. There are two things that I think are needed for that to happen even more quickly. One is the price, which is why the Inflation Reduction Act acted to cut the price of an electric vehicle. The second is making sure we have the charging network we need across America.

But I want to talk about the bigger point here, and I take this very personally because I grew up in the industrial Midwest literally in the shadow of broken down factories from car companies that did not survive into the turn of the century because they didn’t keep up with the times.

Perhaps there’s a reason Mr. Buttigieg wanted to move on to “the bigger point.” To her credit, Ms. Brennan decided to return to his little point about the lack of charging stations. Here’s more of the transcript:

MARGARET BRENNAN: … And let me ask you about a portion of this that I think does fall under your portfolio, and that’s the charging stations you mentioned. The Federal Highway Administration says only seven or eight charging stations have been produced with a $7.5 billion investment that taxpayers made back in 2021.
Why isn’t that happening more quickly?

SECRETARY PETE BUTTIGIEG: So, the president’s goal is to have half a million chargers up by the end of this decade. Now, in order to do a charger, it’s more than just plunking a small device into the ground. There’s utility work and this is also really a new category of federal investment. But we’ve been working with each of the 50 states. Every one of them is getting formula dollars to do this work, engaging them in the first handful –

MARGARET BRENNAN: Seven or eight, though?

SECRETARY PETE BUTTIGIEG: Again, by 2030, 500,000 chargers. And the very first handful of chargers are now already being physically built. But again, that’s the absolute very, very beginning stages of the construction to come.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Right.

Even the professional and courteous Ms. Brennan struggled to stifle a chuckle when Mr. Buttigieg attempted to explain away the minute production from his large federal program. But who can blame her?

One must either laugh or cry watching government officials spend so much of our money as they emote about e-cars while suffering high-speed collisions with reality. Camila Domonoske reported last fall for National Public Radio:
When Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm set out on a four-day electric-vehicle road trip this summer, she knew charging might be a challenge. But she probably didn’t expect anyone to call the cops.

Life on the road can get complicated when one is chasing an e-dream and seeking favorable media attention. Ms. Domonoske reported what happened when the Granholm caravan of electric vehicles attempted to recharge near Augusta, Ga.:

Her advance team realized there weren’t going to be enough plugs to go around. One of the station’s four chargers was broken, and others were occupied. So an Energy Department staffer tried parking a nonelectric vehicle by one of those working chargers to reserve a spot for the approaching secretary of energy.

That did not go down well: a regular gas-powered car blocking the only free spot for a charger?
In fact, a family that was boxed out — on a sweltering day, with a baby in the vehicle — was so upset they decided to get the authorities involved: They called the police.

Is there anyone to call to stop reckless and unproductive federal spending? The outlays from the 2021 infrastructure law are just one part of the larger Biden spending frenzy, which is failing even on its own terms of deploying noneconomic monuments to climate concern.
Ending such waste is a job that voters may have to do for themselves.
