Pete Buttigieg has brought star power and loads of Twitter followers to the Transportation Department. It's not uncommon for political stars and former White House contenders to land in a presidential Cabinet, but they usually don't call their new home the Transportation Department. Secretary Pete, however, has embraced the role. His new staff, the White House, and some Republicans are giving Buttigieg high marks. Here's how Secretary Buttigieg plans to transform the department.


lol star power

Saying that Pete is anything even remotely resembling cool is prehaps even more of an outageous statement than the WAPO article saying child poverty has been half solved.

If the secretary of transportation is someone that like more than 5% of the country can pick out of the lineup that does probably qualify as star power lol

Chao's entire thing at transportation was to be completely invisible so she could make lots of money for her family.

Unrelated, but there are a whole list of politics jargon that just needs to die:

I'm sure there are others, but you can be sure when you see these words used in the context of politics, someone is loving lying to you.

Joe Manchin's theory of politics is literally a religion. There is no actual real world examples of it working but a lot of people still believe in it because they make lots of money off it.

I'm fine with Wonk because the only people that use it are political journalists who are so dumb they look up to Paul Ryan as a smart guy and John McCain as a nice guy (which is basically all of them). It's so hyper specialized you can tell exactly where someone gets their news if they use it and aren't paid to write for an OPED page.

Probably not the best place to put this, but can anyone give me a run down on Vaush. My ex business partner/best friend was always more the moderate of us and I haven't talked to him in years, stumbled on his twitter and he seems to really like/rt Vaush. However, know very little about him.

he's a streamer/youtuber who has convinced everyone you can bootlick your way to full communism and somehow people believe him despite the fact that this has repeatedly failed over and over for the last couple centuries

his fans are now trying to make themselves the Adults In The Room, not only smarter than everyone else on the left but also further left than them because __________

Online personalities in general are the only thing that can make me go "friggin kids", and only when they're especially annoying, meaning mostly PewDiePie and Vaush
