Pete Buttigieg has the highest favorability among Biden's Cabinet

MR. CONGENIALITY — The spotlight on Mayor Pete comes as a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows Buttigieg with the highest name ID (83%) of any member of the Biden administration (aside from Biden and Harris, of course) and a higher net favorability rating (+10) than not only every other Cabinet member, but both Biden (-6) and Harris (-12) as well. The next highest net favorability rating in the cabinet belonged to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen (+8).

ON THE ROAD WITH MAYOR PETE — Amid the swirling speculation that President JOE BIDEN won’t run again in 2024, Democrats have been atwitter for weeks about whether Biden’s Transportation Secretary PETE BUTTIGIEG might mount a campaign. The man, after all, has been front and center in selling the Biden agenda across the nation, and — some suspect — is laying the groundwork for another try for the White House.

Just in time, our Alex Thompson hit the road with the former mayor of South Bend, and found “a man who seems to be in a perpetual hurry.” Thompson notes that since 2010, the 39-year-old has “run for Treasurer of Indiana, Mayor of South Bend, Chair of the Democratic National Committee, and President of the United States,” and is “one of the most media omnipresent and newly-powerful members of Joe Biden’s cabinet.”

Just as he has in interview after interview, Buttigieg batted down speculation about whether another presidential bid is in his future. “[T]his is the least I have had to think about campaigns and elections in about a decade, and that's a very good thing,” he told Alex on Friday while they toured a construction zone of the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.

Chatter about a possible President Pete comes as Biden’s White House has worked like mad to try to tamp down suggestions that Biden won’t run again. Over the weekend, WaPo had a good piece about Biden advisers’ behind-the-scenes assurances that he’ll seek a second term. And on Monday, White House press secretary JEN PSAKI reiterated Biden’s “intention” to run again.

But here’s the problem: Few, if any, Democrats really believe this. The president is 79 — he’s already the Oval Office’s oldest occupant ever — and more than a few voters have real concerns about whether he has the stamina to pull off another campaign. With Republicans on the march in elections nationwide, there’s palpable worry among Dems about who is going to lead the party into the future.

Typically, in these sorts of situations, the VP is seen as the inheritor of the mantle. But many Democrats are concerned that KAMALA HARRIS doesn’t have what it takes to win the White House. Still, all the talk of a possible President Pete has “frustrated some staffers of color who see it as a disrespectful snub,” Alex notes.

Here’s more color from Alex’s story: “While there is no election directly in sight, his initial on-the-ground efforts to promote the infrastructure deal had some resemblance to Buttigieg’s past campaigns. There were lots of news interviews, meet-and-greets with local electeds, die-hard fans in ‘Pete’ shirts carrying copies of his book, a protestor with a homophobic sign (‘Booty-Gay Go Away’), and people having trouble pronouncing his name (‘Butt-Edge-Edge’ instead of ‘Boot-Edge-Edge,’ as the emcee of one event kept pronouncing it). …

“It was all an unusual scene for the usually mundane life of a Transportation secretary. But Buttigieg is not your typical Transportation secretary. He’s the first openly gay cabinet Secretary to be Senate-confirmed and a new parent to two adopted kids who have become social media sensations, sometimes outpacing the president’s posts in terms of engagement.”

Petey has been a bad boy and expect to hear plenty about it soon enough. He has stupidly built this whole virginal pious shtick and it ain't gonna fly the next time he runs. Someone liked to "travel" before they became famous and special friends are talking about it.

I read a first hand account online someone posted, allegedly from someone talking about their "experience" with Pete (who is a bottom). What city they hooked up in (Pete traveled to meet him). When. What they talked about. Etc. They met online (the guys named the site they met on) and it was not a "relationship" site The story even mentions the time between Pete meeting Chazzy and the time Pete met this "special friend). Run Pete Run. It will be hilarious watching Petes Hetero Normative Act devolve into the charade it is.

Not to diminish the risk of such story, but isn't that a risk for every individual running for office nowadays? Those stories could be real or fake but I'm sure they'll become a regular thing in all future campaigns now. You get a story from a real person, maybe a picture or two depicting the candidate, maybe even a 'hidden cam' video (deep fake or not). The person with the story may be a real acquaintance or may never actually have met the candidate. Telling a story is easy, and these days there is always at least some shady outlet that is willing to publish anything.

I wonder how campaign managers prepare for that.

Whether you agree with her handling of the jobs she'd had previously, I don't think you can make the claim that she didn't have the experience for Sec of Transportation. She'd already served in 2 previous administrations at DOT and had other international level positions in finance plus her daddy founded a shipping company. And, I don't discount her husband as a help. But she was certainly more "qualified" for the job than Pete was. She actually handled a labor crisis at some western port during her tenure IIRC when she was Sec of Labor.

it's funny that a lot of people talk about identity politics but that's exactly what's happening in this thread. Insane comments like "he's a log cabin Republican". This has to be based solely off the fact that he has a heteronormative life. He is to the left of almost any elected official right now. The only controversial thing he does said in the last six months is that infrastructure has some racism built into it. It's 100% correct and Republicans hated it. I can't think of a single policy issue where he would agree with the log cabin Republicans. If elected into the Senate he would immediately be one of the most progressive members. But because he is religious and has started a family and is a white male he is lumped in with Republicans.

I know but if the media narrative (created by whites) is that blacks don't like X, then a bunch of whites will not vote for X. So that they can feel like they are in solidarity with the blacks and feel less guilty. Like it's just elite whites manipulating other white people using black people's suffering as a political tool. It doesn't matter what an average black person thinks about a certain politician or policy, these white people only hear the voices of black political authorities like Al Sharpton. And I think black voters themselves are very influenced by these same types of leaders, Biden wouldn't be in office if it weren't for Clyburn in SC.

The "black voters don't like Pete" thing was definitely blown out of proportion. Other than Biden, was there anyone that Black voters were largely behind? They didn't back Klobuchar or Yang either, but no one talked about that. Hell, even Kamala and Corey Booker didn't have huge support in the black community, which no one talked about either. The media was *obsessed* though with Buttigieg's numbers with black voters. And they definitely created a self-fulfilling prophecy where their constantly talking about how black voters didn't like Pete only served to turn off more black voters.

Of course they are, people only do that when they are jealous and worried someone like that could become a powerful leader. Pete checks a lot of boxes that typically win elections. He's very positive, well educated, well spoken, intelligent, quick on his feet, looks straight, religious and served his country. You could pick that apart, but as a whole it's a pretty good package. Especially when you compare to what else is out there like Trump 2024?

I personally think now that he has his hands full with two kids, he's probably not going to run for president anytime soon. He's got a great job for the next 8 years probably. But just based on the hate campaign from Fox and other conservative networks, they seem to think he is. They are acting like jealous ex-girlfriends.

I saw one poll that had Pete at 0% support from the black community and yet 30% of black males were pro Trump? The very guy that actually had power to make their lives miserable?

I really think there is a racist / homophobic thing going on with his haters. All they focus on is the color of his skin. If he was Hispanic and did all the things they claim he did as Mayor, wouldn't hear a singe complaint. Because nothing he did was actually racist. He had to fire the Chief of Police because he broke the law. His job as Chief is law enforcement. Plus I think they hate the fact that he gay and looks like he can fit in with straight guys. They have a stereotype that all gays are flamboyant queens. Guys who are not like that are "fakes" in their minds. That's why they say thing like "I just don't trust him". Basic homophobia without even realizing what they are saying.

I'm actually starting to feel a little bit better about 2024. Simply because things have swung back to the Republicans and they always misread their wins and go over the top. We're going to lose some state houses, governorships, and probably congress next year. But, republicans always overreach.

Which sets us up nicely for 2024. I think Biden should run again. If he doesn't, I would love Pete to run, however I just don't see how they skip over Kamala. Kamala is not popular with black people, but if she can build a narrative that something is being taken from her to give to a white guy, I could see black people rallying around her, even though they don't like her.

First you wanna drag RuPaul into this, (Who last time I checked was not running for public office). Why are you criticizing RuPaul for just living his life? Did he do something to offend you or do you just hate openly gay people who are not basing their PERSONAL life decisions on how those decisions (which don't impact you) make you feel?

And then you want to talk about "the Black community" as if they are a monolith and all think the same way) or as if your ignorant ass even knows anything about Black people. LOL

The DL Klan grannies have the knee jerk reaction of loving anything that is anti-Black, so they may "like" the bullshit you are spewing, but it won't get Pete elected with Black or White people. I get that you are a Pete fan, but he is indeed, unelectable. Being divisive and criticizing Black people won't change that.

Pete has nothing in common with Barack Obama except that he is a Democrat and campaigned for him, and maybe voted for him. If that is all that required, I may as well throw my hat in the ring as the same applies to me.

Pete does not have the gay vote which is why he had to drop out so fast last time. Pete was a 100% left wing media creation.

Pete saturated the MSM and was trying to win popularity based on "hey vote for me because I'm gay." That shtick may work in small town Indiana, but on the big stage people looked a lot closer at his paper thin resume. The wanna be Emperor was wearing no clothes.

The Editor pf the Law Review at law schools used to signify the top student. That practice stopped and Obama was chosen after the days of meritocracy ceased.

This is not a comment on whether the change in how Editor of Law Review is chosen is good or not. It is to show that it doesn't mean what it used to mean.

I think Obama is very smart, but I think his intellectual prowess has been exaggerated for political purposes. I don't think he is what used to be called a true intellectual. More intellectually bent than Michelle for sure but that's not hard to be. But I also think she's smart in a different way.

Rhodes Scholars are picked like being invited to a Debutant Ball. Just like most of those bitches turn out to be evil sluts, so do the Rhodes Scholars. Nothing to see. It's grossly outdated in significance. There's nothing special about them, especially nowadays!

If the Law Review (at Harvard no less) was just a "School Newspaper" or Yearbook Committee (or whatever the fuck your dumb ass thinks it is), then it would not be so desired by so many law students and there would not be so many employers looking for it on resumes. Being a good writer is ESSENTIAL to being a good lawyer. You obviously know NOTHING about the legal career field.

Stick to the knitting circles with all the other old fat out of touch Queens who attempt to pontificate about shit they know nothing about, you're way outta your league here!

And by the way Barack Obama running the "school newspaper" helped propel him to the White House. But unfortunately for you, being a debutante won't get Pete there. 🤪 😂😂😂😂😂

[quote]Definition. A set of procedures designed to eliminate unlawful discrimination among applicants, remedy the results of such prior discrimination, and prevent such discrimination in the future. Applicants may be seeking admission to an educational program or looking for professional employment. . . . It is not unqualified people.

In theory it has always been a wonderful ideal. I'm afraid in practice it is less so. To implement Affirmative Action properly and as intended it takes a lot of work and costs more. Expanding recruiting practices and getting out there to really identify for those qualified applicants in places people aren't used to going, are uncomfortable with or just aren't on their radars.

The process too quickly became all about results in terms of numbers and optics rather than ensuring that standards were not lowered to get those results. So sadly, it is very often unqualified people. Or perhaps, diplomatically put, "less qualified" people.

All these decades and huge sums of money spent worrying about optics rather than truly getting in there and grappling with the underlying causes and reasons for any real deficiencies and why there exists populations of students and people in general who underperform. SMDH.

R346 Says who? And in comparison to what?

You mean people in AA programs are less qualified in comparison to all the White people who FOR GENERATIONS have gotten "hookups" from friends and relatives in power? Because those people are most certainly ALWAYS best qualified right? There are lots of good reasons why nepotism is not a good idea.

Or do you mean those people clamoring to hire (and educate) people who look like them and then turn around and blame those who don't have opportunities handed to them for their inability to advance?

All too often the public swallows GOP Propaganda! What you are spouting is opinion and not facts. There are safeguards in those programs. Wake up already! Stop consuming Fox News lies!

Unfortunately too many people are ready to throw out the baby with the bath water when they fear that the built in systemic advantages of the TRULY UNWORTHY become threatened.

Despite AA, no qualified White person is ever going to be kept from being educated or employed. Stop whining that allowing someone else an opportunity is somehow taking something away from you. It doesn't. Stop buying the hype!

If you really thought that Affirmative Action was a good program that needed more money to be successful, you would advocate for that rather than joining the pitchfork wielding (AKA tiki torch wielding) mob to keep minorities oppressed!

Put your money where your mouth is. Your left-handed compliments to the program while trying to torch the whole thing makes you sound psychotic!

This is irrelevant to a healthy affirmative action program. it's a stupid argument. The whole purpose of such programs is to search for and include in the process qualified persons. That is to make it a meritocracy for all. It is not to perpetuate unfair hiring or admissions practices of the past.

Your type of argument to make it an equal drive to the bottom, is as wrong as nepotism without merit.

I am pointing out the hypocrisy of your argument that:

[Quote]So sadly, it is very often unqualified people. Or perhaps, diplomatically put, "less qualified" people.

Don't try to run and hide from the old, tired, racist Fox News trope that you trotted out there to say that AA is somehow an awful program because heaven forbid one or two people may have gotten an advantage they should not have gotten as opposed to the hundreds of years of White people getting unfair advantages.

OF COURSE, any sane American wants a healthy Affirmative Action Program, but call a spade a spade. No program is perfect, but no program has received more scrutiny (and criticism) than AA. If it was as horrible as Fox News claims it is, there would be no remnants of it left. They've tried their best to abolish it completely.

Your problem is that you are assuming that virtually all people in AA programs are unqualified. That is faulty thinking. You are assuming the program is unhealthy without presenting any proof of that. Essentially, you are talking racist shit out of your ass!

America would be a lot better off if people stopped mouthing the same old tired tropes when they feel "irrationally" threatened by things that don't even impact them.

[quote] Don't try to run and hide from the old, tired, racist Fox News trope that you trotted out there to say that AA is somehow an awful program

Your assumptions are tiresome. I didn't say that at all. Your trope of accusing anyone who sees the flaws in the implementation of the program is tired.

I have always supported affirmative action programs from the very beginning. I have argued that they didn't go far enough. Businesses and schools were too lazy to do the hard work necessary to really get to those who previously weren't reached so that opportunities could be opened for them. They failed in that regard. Instead, they were happy to just take those who had the wherewithal to push themselves forward, arguably those in less in need of affirmative action but rather more in need of anti-discrimination laws and policies - which is a separate issue.

[quote] Your problem is that you are assuming that virtually all people in AA programs are unqualified.

Again, with your ridiculous assumptions. You need to learn to read what is written and not take off into space with your assumptions.

Your mind is set and anyone who raises any nuanced suggestions or issues is in the KKK. I'm sure that will be your next accusation. You will never be part of the solution.

Pete is spending taxpayer dollars going to New Hampshire to campaign---I mean visit......How much money is this guy going to spend traveling to promote himself?....This man is a political prostitute. He is the guy who would sit in the Senate for 40 years if he could just find the open seat he could win. No Joke. That is his entire life goal (besides the Presidency)...I really believe if Oregon had a liberal open Senate seat, Pete would have Chasten and the car packed up so fast to declare his candidacy on the steps of the Portland City Hall. Just wait and see.

It had to be. How else do you get a male and female twin set? That just doesn't happen.

Why is there such a rush for Pete? He is still very young. Getting more experience would be good and add to his gravitas which sadly he seems to be squandering playing Good Housekeeping. Some of these politicians are just too young. More years would harden them and give them the confidence - real confidence based on experience - to stand their ground when they need to fight on issues. It would also make them better politicians who could figure out how to compromise without giving away the ball game. Look at the difference between JFK and Johnson. Johnson's experience and age gave him what he needed to fight real battles. JFK was impotent next to LBJ.

R412 Chasten doesn't give a damn about those student loans. This was a shot across the bow at Biden to try and elevate Pete's profile. Pete thought that Chasten whining about unpaid loans would play into the out of touch old fuddy duddy narrative of Biden promoted by the GOP (and some Dems), but it backfired horribly on them.

With the way Gays threw money at Pete in the 2020 Primaries, Chasten knows that if Pete becomes POTUS that some rich liberal Dem will pay off his loans (if they haven't already). This is not a concern for them.

This cheap shot by Pete just further shows that Pete is just not ready to campaign in the big leagues. I'll never forget how Higgenlooper, Swalwell and Williamson (at 01:40 below) all got in Pete's ass regarding racism in South Bend, Indiana during the 2020 Presidential Debate. Pete had no good answers. Any idiot would have anticipated those questions and had answers as the racial reckoning was taking place all over the world and this SPECIFIC SHOOTING in South Bend was plastered all over the news at that time! 🤦‍♂️

With Pete constantly bungling things among Democratic Party contenders, why would anyone trust him to go up against the GOP machine which plays a lot tougher and would surely wipe the floor with him?

The Pete and Chasten/ Abbott and Costello Routine is an embarrassment!

Pete has name recognition but that won't translate into votes. Pete's team needs to stop this shit. Everyone can see that Pete is not ready for prime time.

Speaking of Chasten's feuds on twitter, during the Democratic primary, a black gay guy (gorgeous too) who was a big Beto supporter tweeted that he'd seen Chasten on a plane flying in first class. Chasten - who must name search himself - immediately attacked the guy, saying he had been in cattle car and claiming he sat in 38A or something. Problem was that was the seat the black guy was actually sitting in. Black guy got mad and immediately stuck up a pic of his ticket showing he was on that flight in 38A. Chasten lied and couldn't admit he'd upgraded to first class? Hell, they spent more than any other Dem candidate on private jets. They were notorious spendthrifts.

The Buttigiegs had troll accounts with names like AvocadoToast4Pete, RomanceWriters4Pete, etc. boosting everything they tweeted during the primary. Lis Smith's brainchild. They immediately started attacking the black guy. Got really nasty and borderline racist.

when pete was confirmed for secretary he had to post a financial disclosure form and there it said that the student debt started in 2009. in 2009, pete was already 27 and graduated while chasten was 19 and just starting college. it’s all chasten’s debt. it matches his story, he started studying at 19 but didn’t finished so a few years later he took more loans to finish his degree. then he got another loan for his masters degree, the dates match chasten. pete was already pushing 30 by then.

Try books and pencils for their students. Most schools are wildly underfunded to the point where many teachers kick in their own money for basic supplies. Teachers in South Bend make nothing close to what they do in a big city like NYC.

The lies about the surrogate are what will bring them down. The GOP liked Pete before because they figured he would be easy to beat. But I'm sure they'll dig around and find the surrogate if he tries to run for President again.

Pete only did 4 years at Harvard - tuition's very expensive but his parents had no doubt put together a sufficient college fund. A Rhodes Scholarship covers 100% of all expenses (tuition, housing, books, etc.). I think even travel expenses are covered.

You don't know that, a lot of people go to those schools who don't come from rich family. Schools don't just hand out money like candy, especially these days a full tuition is more rare than it's ever been. Teachers often help out students who cant afford everything. Not directly with cash, more indirectly like buying them a book for the class or something.

yes he went to 3 schools, it’s true. it’s all on his book. he first started studying nursing and then quit because he failed a semester. then he started studying theatre, he didn’t finished right away because he failed a class and according to chasten, they didn’t let him re take that class right way so like 2 years later, he got his degree. then he found out he was into teaching so went to get his masters degree in education. so yeah 3 schools.

Lots of people go to more than one college, it's considered a good thing by most professionals and educators. You don't get locked into one schools perspective and get a better all around exposure to the world. Most people who seek a Masters get it from a different school. Nothing unusual about that.

So basically you want the very first gay couple in history of getting that high up in a government position to hide their relationship? Pretend to be heteronormative? Stay in the closet? Oh right, dont have to stay in the closet, just never say a word. That's a pretty shitty expectation if you ask me. They are making history believe it or not. It would be a crime to hide it like you want. Lots of straight people still think all gays are basically drag queens like RuPaul or hair dressers. Everyone celebrates straight relationships, families when they bring them into the public eye. Its time gays get equal treatment. To me it sounds like you are uncomfortable with that. Well that's a sign of classic internalized homophobia. Maybe you should look at that first before being so obsessed with someone you never even met.

R544 everything Pete ever did was poll-tested to the nth degree. He no doubt polled how people would react to a gay politician paying a surrogate for photo-op babies. Particularly, after his partner had complained bitterly they could only afford a tacky little apartment in DC. It's the same principle as when they adopted an old dog from the pound: adopt don't shop!

Problem is no adoption agency, however enlightened, is going to magically come up with boy/girl twin newborns who just happen to be farmed out to a gay couple who have never had any other children and have no experience of child-rearing. There are no white babies on the market to adopt. Women who don't want the kids, abort. And adopting black babies after Pete's issues with black people in South Bend would have looked like the ultimate hypocrisy.

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney and his husband adopted 3 older kids out of foster care, 2 of them are black and have disabilities. Adopting kids out of foster care is praiseworthy. Paying a surrogate to reproduce your genes is narcissistic.

i do think pete and chasten adopted the babies but they sure paid a lot of money for them. white healthy twins in closed adoption in a year and a half are extremely rare. they totally used their influence and paid a lot for them. im a pete supporter so i’ve been following for a while and the timeline fits for adoption. he was in nevada doing events and he cancelled abruptly around august 12-13 and 2 business days later, they confirmed they had become parents. that’s the normal timeline for the birth mother signing her maternal rights away. then they disappeared for like 3 weeks, and that’s the normal timeline for the ICPC clearance so they can take the kids out of their birth state. the timeline fits perfectly for adoption. (1/)

by Anonymousreply 561December 30, 2021 1:10 PM

but i’m not naive so i think it’s obvious they paid a lot for them. as you all know, getting white babies is expensive and wanting a closed adoption (chasten said in his wapo profile that in a pre-birth match, the birth mother could chose them but she wouldn’t know their identities so that means they were looking for a closed adoption from the beginning) makes the wait longer. they truly got a combination of the most rare things together. full closed adoption nowadays is around 5% according my researcher, twins for adoption are as rare and on top of that, white babies? it’s like they found an unicorn. if you search adoption agencies you can see in their websites that it all can be done with cash on hand. there’s even extra feeds to get to choose the gender and everything. it’s expensive but still not as expensive as surrogacy. they have money but they aren’t millionaires so they can totally afford an expensive adoption with all the filters they want but not a surrogate. according to their circumstances, it think they may have spent like ~60K but it’s still way cheaper than surrogacy that starts at 100K and only goes up.

it’s funny to me because they try to pretend that they aren’t upper class right now. chasten specially still has the mentality that he’s poor idk it’s so weird because just look at what they have brought for the babies. like i mentioned before, i follow them, i’ve noticed the twins toys and baby things. their things are from the expensive side of baby stuff. they have a baby stroller (uppababy vista) that cost around +1.2K, they have a lovevery play mat that costs like $140 and a babybjorn bouncer that costs around $200. i don’t have children but i’ve googled all those things and all the reviews say that they are the most expensive you can find in baby items. they clearly are investing a lot on their babies (good for the babies because they are clearly living a good life) but like i said before it’s funny because they pretend they can’t afford it lol it’s going to be funny when the twins start school and they go to an expensive private school in dc and they still pretend they can’t afford things lol you know for me it’s also crazy that it seems like pete named the babies himself like with 0 input from chasten. their son was totally named after pete’s dad who was joseph a(nthony) buttigieg and pete’s son is joseph a(ugust) buttigieg, he literally picked the middle name with the same inicial so the baby would be joseph a buttigieg as well. i think chasten chose the middle name but he stole it from mandy moore lol august is also really cute because that’s the month when pete and chasten met and also when the babies were born but it really seems like pete told chasten yeah you can choose the middle name but it needs to start with an a lol penelope also was totally chosen by pete. the last chapter of his favourite book is called penelope. the name of his first book also comes from that book and pete and chasten got married on the date the book is set. it’s really special to him. so idk i found it so weird, obviously maybe they chose the names together but there’s obviously more influence from pete for their kids names.

going back to the surrogate vs adoption thing, i think they are adopted, surrogacy doesn’t make sense in the timeline but i have to admit that i’ve been curious because after the children were born, they have avoided talking about their origins. here’s all the photos of baby penelope available and she’s clearly white with dark hair and thick dark eyebrows. the eyebrows remind me so much of pete and she has so much hair that it may be pete’s mediterranean genes doing the work so that makes me think but i like i say i think they are adopted but it’s true that you can never trust a politician 100% so im 👀. at the end of the day, they are the only ones to know where the kids came from. (4/sorry for the rant lol)

r561, r562, r563, r564 Excellent points.

I agree with everything you said.

There is obviously a Russian bot starting all these anti-Pete threads, and a group of people paid per post to respond.

How else does this nothing burger get to 600 posts.

R563 is English your basic language? What you wrote is practically unreadable.

Pete and Chasten are throwing a New Year's party tomorrow that simply everyone in Washington is talking about!

But if Chasten doesn't get home from the baths in time, who is going to do the cooking?

R563 = They are playing poor because they want government freebies like their student loans paid off. I still believe Chazzy is on the Buttigieg Campaign Payroll. and probably the SuperPac payroll....

"Republicans hunt for a scandal."

Basically a nothing burger R570. Pete is doing everything so well they cant find anything bad about him as much as they wish they could. That's what your article says if you bother to read it.

I don't get all this obsession over Pete's babies. How many people in Congress have this much attention on their children. If you want to talk real scandal and not fake made up stuff like the Troll here is trying and failing to do with Pete, look at GOP Rep. Gaetz and his very handsome Cuban fuck buddy, uh I mean son. Which he sort of but not really adopted. But kept him a secret for years.

R573 Yeah, chasten has a cute rodent pet.

R573 Chasten would only be "lucky" if Pete gets to the White House, which doesn't seem likely anytime soon.

Pete is the lucky one. Chasten is younger and probably has the better dick. He definitely has a larger more fuckable ass! Chasten would also be much more interesting to talk to (imagine having to regularly listen to a Pete word salad). But most importantly Chasten seems to really care about him.

And for all you guys ripping Chasten a new one, remember he wasn't the one who asked for this limelight. It's his rodent husband seeking fame by continuing to try to insert himself into gov't positions for which he knows he's not qualified.

There is only ONE TROLL that is ripping Chasten a new one on this thread. He has conversations with himself with his sock puppet accounts.

R563, these two do not seem mature enough to raise children. I know there are a lot of immature people out there with babies but this is beyond weird and juvenile.

This really turns me off to him and his judgment.

So it was Pete who pushed Chasten to write his memoir? He's as much of a fame whore as Pete.

by Anonymousreply 578January 2, 2022 5:08 AM

True Story = Pete and Chasten spent their book money NOT paying back student loans. They want YOU to pay back their school loans. Also Chastens book---which I read---was like a 9th grader wrote it. Chasten was only a teacher for a few months and never went back. Lazy slob.

Why are these Trolls SO OBSESSED with someones BABIES? Just get laid already, no one cares but you.

R583 Because P&T bought those babies for cold hard cash but keep on lying about it. It’s a scandal actually….

Who cares. BORRRING!!!!!

It's actually none of your business R584. They are entitled to a certain amount of privacy when it comes to their children. You seem to not get that.

by Anonymousreply 586January 2, 2022 8:52 AM

I never vote for someone based on how many kids they have or where they came from. Only an unhinged nutjob would fixate on that.

by Anonymousreply 587January 2, 2022 8:53 AM

R586 Not when they parade those babies around as seen in R580 for marketing. Integrity and accountability are qualities I actually value in politicians, Trumpie.

by Anonymousreply 588January 2, 2022 9:00 AM

They are as most parents allows to take their kids out of the house once and a while, share photos. Everyone with kids does that. They are not "parading them around" you stupid nitwit. There would be hundreds of photos if that were the case, not a hand full you keep posting here trying to make something out of it.

I have seen more photos of babies from straight couples on FB than you can ever imagine, many of them post EVERY FUCKING DAY! That's what you call parading babies in public.
