Pete Buttigieg confirmation hearing slated for Thursday!

Go, Pete.

Chasten will be in the front row, wearing a stylish pink pants suit.

For the people who love to push the narrative that Pete Buttigieg is hated by the black people of South Bend, he was invited and spoke virtually at the 35th annual MLK Day of Celebration in South Bend today even though he hasn't been mayor for over a year.

Finally, my chance to bring back the pillbox hat!

Mr. Buttigieg do you, in fact, enjoy taking it up the butt?

(La Senatrice swoons and someone calls for smelling salts.)

Chasten is so excited tonight, he’s going to felch for Pete.

There will be floats.

I wonder if the Capitol riots made Pete and Chasten rethink their housing situation in DC? I would have expected them to want a house, but a more secure condo might might be a better decision. I wonder if the Transportation Department has a security detail for the secretary?

OK. It's only fair that we host a welcome reception here for Secretary Buttigieg and his spouse. Alcohol has always bee cheaper in the District, and we can get gallons for a song. ow as far as the catering menu I have no idea. What do people from Indiana eat?

I feel very strongly that we ought to have champagne, and that we ought to NOT have Ritz crackers. My own feeling is that we help Pete and Chas acclimate themselves to the a rea by serving crab salad and other fish from Cheasepeake Bay. But I'm not really sure. Your input is deeply desired...

You Pete fanatics are slipping, today is Peter's 39th birthday, only reason I know is the Victory Fund sent me a fund raising email and a link to sign a birthday card.

And I’m pleased to join everyone in wishing a Happy Birthday to @DollyParton!

"Now Mayor Buttigieg, what is your preferred anal lubricant?"

Pete's hearing will start at 10AM eastern time on C-Span tomorrow.

Even our first Gentleman of Transportation Rats his hair!

Ted Cruz is questioning Pete right now and being his usual asshole self.

I would love to see Pete verbally flay Ted Cruz.

[quote] I would love to see Pete verbally flay Ted Cruz.

I would also but that doesn't fit into Biden's theme of working across the isle, right now. I am sure there will be more opportunities for Pete to make Cruz look like the asshole he is after Pete is confirmed.

Pete looks cute.

Little Homosexual Transportation Secretary.

Poor Chasten is really balding in front.

Oooh there's a hot young aide to one of the Senators chatting up Pete now after the hearing. Chasten Gurl you better man watch out!!!

It will be on again at 9PM tonight on CSpan1 and and again at 2AM tomorrow.

Pete's opening statement on YouTube

Oh Pete - you do us proud

When is the full Senate vote?

His first act as Secretary of Transportation: He will legalize butt-fucking on interstate buses!

He's always so impressive. Love this guy. He does look like he isn't sleeping though. Is he stressed about this new job?

He doesn’t have experience but he’ll be fine.

[quote]He doesn’t have experience but he’ll be fine.

Everyone bitches about Pete having no experience yet nobody said shit about the fat pig who was the last president having no experience.🙄

At least Pete is intelligent and educated.

Pete needs to trade up from Chasten, who is too common.

Chasten is compliant that is what matters.

It was nice to see him and Chasten double-bagging it with their face masks yesterday. I guess that carries over from early on in their relationship.

GOP Senator Jon Tester

Love Pete. Chasten must be lubing up right as we speak!

The questioning and Pete's answers were very interesting. Transportation is the heart of our economy.

Good.

Pete will be interviewed by Lawrence O'Donnell tonight. On Friday he will be interviewed on The View.

Pretty awesome that positive feedback's coming from R senators, but prob Cruz & Hawley will vote against confirmation

Why is he torturing himself by going on The (Old Cunt) View?

I think Cruz needs a good dick up his ass so he won’t be so miserable all the time.

Cruz needs something stuck in him alright. But not a cock.

Because I am Pete's #1 fan, I watched that entire hearing. And all of you bitches who are constantly going on about his lack of experience, should have listened to Pete slay on just about every question he was asked. For someone who doesn't have any experience, those Senators were pretty damned impressed with his responses. And Chasten was so cute sitting in back, supporting his man. Pete deserves everything!!!

I admired the way Pete dealt with Cruz. I would not be able to maintain my composure if I were being questioned by that piece of dogshit.

Cruz would eat Trump’s shit no matter how much Trump makes fun of him or his family. These MAGAts are mentally ill.

Does Ted masturbate every night to a picture of Dump?

[quote] I think Cruz needs a good dick up his ass so he won’t be so miserable all the time.

Why waste a good one?

Give him gym’s or something

Do you think Pete and chasten rim?

[quote] Does Ted masturbate every night to a picture of Dump?

If you had a wife that looked like teds does, you'd probably do the same thing

Did Amy and Pete have a knife fight in the alley afterward?

Cue the retards who believe that Buttigieg will be the Dem presidential nominee for 2024 AND that he win it!

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...

Cue the sad sack of shit at R51 whose advances Pete rejected years ago.

Seek therapy, hun.

How do you know that Pete is a top? Did he wear a hanky in his pocket during the campaign?

[quote]Cue the sad sack of shit at [R51] whose advances Pete rejected years ago. Seek therapy, hun.

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...

Why do you laugh? Pete isn't bad looking.

Will he be asked to Lip Sync for His Life, before a final confirmation vote?

What did idiot Cruz ask him?

Ohh if he gets this all you haterz will need to shut it about his thin resume.

Article on Politico's website this afternoon:

Pete Buttigieg, displaying the political acumen that fueled his surge from mayoral obscurity to political stardom, sailed through a Senate hearing Thursday that was every bit an audition for a potential future presidential turn as it was for his impending role as Transportation secretary.

Buttigieg’s maiden outing in the Senate can be seen as the kickoff to a potential future run at the presidency, which will play out in the background of virtually everything he does as a member of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet. And though most Americans would view DOT as a sleepy agency, it will enjoy a higher profile under Biden, who has promised to elevate climate concerns among every arm of government.

R34: Nobody else pointed out, Jon Tester is NOT a Republican/GOP, though I know he kind of looks like a Republican. He's the Democratic (senior) Senator from Montana.

He's really very impressive and it's been great to see him progress in every way. I like what I've seen of Ossoff but he's from money and already a multi-millionaire with a flimsy resume. It's really inspiring to see Pete's financial disclosures and see him go from earing 37,000 to the major to having one of the lowest net worths running for presidency to building up his wealth with book deals. He's one of those guys who really deserves every success and break he's had and I think he'll be great in this role. Pelosi was talking about the importance of infrastructure and stressed the nightmare they had with Trump over infrastructure bills that he would support and then throw fits in the office when she went to negotiate. Infrastructure is top of her agenda, top of Biden's agenda and Pete is getting a great opportunity here.

I almost don't want him to be President. Almost. I think it can be a waste of great talent which can be used to greater effect elsewhere. I think Obama could have maybe done more outside the WH too but it's the show pony role and Pete would has all the signs of being heading in that direction. And thankfully he's a good egg and not economically a Right-center Right shit like some other openly gay leaders.

Pete doesn't do the butt-fuck thing. He's into oral. (So you can stop all your anal sex references/jokes.

God Bless Pete who has become a Personal Jesus for the Gay Community. He has all the goods to climb all the way to the top - the White House!

Personal Jesus for the Gay Community?

No thanks. I've had quite enough of cults of personality after the last 4 years.

R50 they seem to be over that and are friends now. Klobuchar even said she hoped at some point to hang out with Pete and his husband with her husband

you can see the whole thing here.

I miss watching Mayor Pete on my tv screen. Now he is one Gay with major potential to be president.

Twitter made a big deal about Amy's book being called Antitrust to Pete's trust. I had no idea they were ever feuding because they are similar enough in every way to be mom/son and I assumed they'd gravitate towards each other. Chasten had Doug and Kamala on his vlog after the primary and he and Doug had really become very close, I wonder if Kamala will be cooking for the boys at the VP residence.

His confirmation hearing was 5 days ago. Why hasn't he been confirmed yet? Other cabinet posts have already been confirmed. What's the holdup?

Is the GOP trying to screw with the homo?

Fran Lebowitz says no to Buttigieg (when threads collide).

The Transportation Committee hasn't even held a vote yet, after they vote then the whole Senate will need to vote. No dates have been set for either of those votes.

The Senate committee approved his nomination today by a vote of 21-3. Cruz, Blackburn, and Rick Scott were the naysayers. I'm surprised Hawley didn't join them.

Liebowitz was commenting on Pete's presidential run, and I couldn't care less what she thinks about him, especially since she couldn't get elected dog catcher anywhere.

I assume the full Senate vote will happen in the next few days. They need to confirm the Homeland Security head Mayorkas first IMO, now that his nomination was approved by the committee in spite of Hawley's attempt at obstruction.

Peter's Public Financial Disclosure Report

No surprise that homophobe Marsha Blackburn voted against him

[quote]Is the GOP trying to screw with the homo?

Well certainly some of them secretly want to screw the homo (or any homo).

Hawley and Blackburn are homophobic cunts.

Liebowitz is a self-entitled idiot.

I felt dirty looking at Pete's financial disclosures, but I couldn't help myself.

Fniancial report was interesting. He doesn't have much.

Anyone watching the confirmation vote? Looks like an overwhelmingly bi-partisan vote.
