    Yah that’s how they got the port open 24/7….even with mayor Pete having time with his new babies. Imagine that!

    Butte is home breast feeding his kid, so it was probably Trump hold overs doing what you just said couldn’t be done.

    This has been all over the news, the msm, cnn, etc.

    Of course, had you not been so bigoted and closed minded against Breitbart and clicked on the link you would have seen a video of Tapper interviewing Butti on CNN

    So then you explain what the Secretary of Transportation can do, I mean even it it's a recommendation? I'm pretty sure from listening to your elected moron idea's and reassurances that he might be pretty receptive to them right about now ;)

    As for titty boy, I'm sure his job does involve some of the the issue's mentioned in this thread :roll:

    They were probably there when the babies were born, and that’s the type of beds hospitals have.

    Indoors with no masks. Are they trying to murder those babies?

    I’m confident he was able to make recommendations while on leave since he was still working in some capacity.

    So the issue you are complaining about is because we are no longer in recession?

    Or is it you all think breastfeeding is a national issue?

    It's the Truman Show Presidency. It's all staged and faked for "messaging" their term for how they will carefully package the lies.

    [​IMG]

    "Vacationing Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's paternity-leave-with-no-end-in-sight. On Monday, he begins the third month of his absence with pay because he and his mate adopted twins."

    "The adoption was a photo op, posed on a hospital bed, instead of looking at their new children, they gazed into one another's eyes, the babies are props."

    "The ports are clogged and cargo ships are backed up because we cannot unload them quick enough. This leads to empty shelves because America foolishly outsourced manufacturing to slaves in Red China and sweatshops elsewhere."
    "We are paying him. We actually need him. And he is on an endless paternity leave."

    The question asked is, why are they photographed in a hospital bed.
    My answer, the babies are still in the hospiatal.

    So, an opinion blog proves what? Except that person has an opinion.

    I was going to agree with you, that this was terribly irresponsible, until I read @The Mello Guy 's post #2, which quotes from later in the article, which says that he had stayed involved in major decisions, was mostly just off-line for 4 weeks, and has been ramping up since then. This sort of thing-- misrepresenting your links-- can really destroy a person's credibility. Though perhaps it just shows a lack of interpretive discrimination, on your part; that is, as soon as you'd read, "paternity leave," your mind may have made come to its verdict, and been unaffected by anything else, essentially closed off to any new information, to at all modify your initial assumptions. I have experienced this sort of single-mindedness of perspective, from you, in other threads.

    All that said, I don't know how much Secretary Buttigeig can do, in either of these situations. Hopefully, he can at least find ways to ease the supply-line problems but, with a global supply-chain, that is easier said than done. As far as the infrastructure negotiations in Congress, I don't see that he has the ability to help move things; but, again, he should be doing whatever is possible (perhaps finding ways to cut costs of some items?). I don't suppose your article goes into what he could be doing? But I'll look at it, anyway, eventually.

    With our national supply chain rapidly snarling in the biggest supply chain disaster in the lifetimes of most Americans and the Transportation secretary awol and starting his 3rd month of paternity leave, Res ipsa loquitur – The thing itself speaks.

    AWOL as America's shelves empty.​

    No. Everything ddms do is staged and carefully scripted.

    Right down to Bidens fake white house movie set.

    So a pic of babies and parents in a hospital bed is the supply chain problem in USA. LOL. Are we supposed to take you serious?

    The only impact I’ve felt from this goods shortage is not having a new PS5 and last mont Taco Bell ran out of breakfast stuff

    Pete Buttigieg after 6 months on the job has been on a 2 month vacation with his newly adopted twins.
    Pete says: "The big thing is having a newly personal appreciation for the fact that this is work. It may be time away from a professional role, but it’s very much time on."

    It’s a joke on the absurd term “chest” feeding that Leftists have invented to replace breast feeding. I don’t know if you’re aware but a man can’t feed anything with just a chest. It’s science and stuff. Do you think someone can produce milk without a breast? Then again, it’s hard to call someone with a breast that produces milk after getting pregnant, a man. But Leftists have already gone down the rabbit hole with what we even any anymore.
