    But according to some resident leftist we don't even need a Secretary of Transportation during a transportation crisis, the department just runs on it's own..................what was he supposed to be doing anyway???.......:wall:

    Shouldn't Biden come out and explain why during a transportation crisis he would approve the Secretary of Transportation going on a hiatus? Not even appointing an acting Secretary? Let's just hold the position open while the country suffers.

    What kind of leadership is that?

    And BTW it's not clear the White House isn't saying. Why not?

    Not sure what your obsession with suckling is…
    But I’m confident a massive dept can function if hes offline here and there

    They have 58000 employees and an experienced deputy director. A temp wasn’t needed.

    I don’t think bossing around unions or any of the other stuff you listed is either. Unless you can show me that in the constitution or something

    Of course is the Department of Transportation works with transportation unions too. Buttigeig was a keynote speaker at the last Teamsters convention...............geeezzz how absurd are you willing to go here?

    Show me what he DID accomplish to solve this crisis while he was MOSTLY OFFLINE.

    So let's get rid of him then since he is not necessary and apparently dead weight.

    Yes, he wasn't doing his job while he played with the baby. Why was he getting paid to do nothing?

    Obsession? What term would you prefer, breastfeeding? He’s obliviously not doing that since it’s impossible.

    Here is an interesting thought, why would Butti put on fake boobs to feed a kid? It would appear he thinks it has a biologically natural feel and possibly offers long term psychological benefits to the kid. Add it all up and he’s unconsciously fighting what evolved in nature. He seems to believe the kid would develop better with a mother around.

    Sounds like Butti isn’t needed, especially since you pointed out the part about the experienced deputy director.

    Looks like the Bidens attempted fix at the LA ports isn't working because the owners of.the cargo aren't asking for a 3rd shift, there's a shortage of trucks, and there's a shortage of drivers.

    All thats changed is.shipping containers are now clogging the streets around the port.

    Also, there was no point man appointed before booty gig went on his chest feeding vacation.

    LET’S GO BRANDON: Los Angeles Port a ‘Ghost Town’ Despite Biden Order to Remain Open on Weekends.

    Tucker: Lower Your Expectations, Folks, This Is "Empty Shelves" Joe Biden’s America.

    The Truman Show Presidency: "the United States government has zero control over the operations at the port. And that makes Biden’s Big Idea to save the Christmas season for retailers and customers alike nothing more than another PR stunt."
    "And shipping companies don’t want to pay the longshoremen overtime."
    With Biden and his front liar Psaki, it's lies, "messaging" and fake outs in the service on concealing incompetence.
    "Biden knew all this, of course. He knew it before he looked into the camera and told the American people he was on top of the situation."

    Biden's a liar, his administration is all lies and incompetence. FJB!

    Buttigeig on his 3rd month of taxpayer paid paternity leave while gridlock snarls ports and more principled Democrats come to their senses on the Dems planned red ink orgy billed as "infrastructure".

    "Gimmicks": Looks like reconciliation is in trouble in the House, too

    [​IMG]
    A Rare Democrat Stands Up For Budget Honesty.​

    These are the young fresh voices of strength and integrity that Democrats need to be moving into leadership, not those old sold out short termer fossils in power now.

    As Schumer seems to make a little progress in the Senate, The House starts slipping from Pelosi's old gnarled fingers. "She can only afford to lose three votes to carry any legislation on a party-line basis."
    Democrats would be a much better Party for America with more folks like this, and more of them in top leadership.

    I have never once gone a day not understanding how he “won” (via the EC — the average American voted against him in all three elections he was a part of).

    When your entire political position is conspiracy and memes it because very easy to just accept anything that satisfies those narratives without question

    And President with just a nano amount of leadership would have taken the chance to ask for his resignation so they could but an industry EXPERT in his place who KNOWS how the system works, who KNOWS what are the problems and bottlenecks, who KNOWS to people out in the field PERONALLY, KNOWS who to call and HOW to get things moving. We don't need social experiments and we had our moment about the the first gay Secretary of Transportation and wonderful it was for the world, now let's get the department back to work fixing the problem!

    Rant off.............
