#1 Buttigieg with a statement like that you have proved everyone's point of reference about you and your intellectual capacity, that is You have two parts of brain, 'left' and 'right'. In the left side, there's nothing right. In the right side, there's nothing left.

#2 Harvey Milk had a relationship with a 16 year old (Jack Galen McKinley) while he himself was in his 30s.

What would you say about a politician who was living with and having sex with a high school dropout?

Share this link around anytime you hear Milk's name mentioned: https://books.google.com/books?id=P_2f521UkFIC&lpg=PA38&vq=mckinley&pg=PA30#v=onepage&q&f=false

#3 Utter mediocrity + vaulting ambition. When he was 18, this one wrote a superb award-winning essay praising Bernie Sanders for his refusal to trim or shy away from his political convictions.

Since then Buttigieg has spent his whole adult life scheming how to burnish his resume and advance himself without accomplishing anything meaningful.

"Dwarfish mediocrity," indeed. He embodies our political class's total self-absorption, their constant calculation and complete indifference to the American people.

No public servants -- the phrase sounds ridiculous when applied to these smelly little climbers -- who actually put the American nation first in his thinking would neglect his job to such a degree and permit our country to sink as low as we have on so many fronts.

The Afghan debacle, the border disgrace, the supply chain train wreck, the stagflation facepalm, the COVID follies, the election clownshow, the FBI/DeepState nightmare, the Soros-Zuckerberg sedition and the BigTexh dystopian monster.... All of it on their watch. Unbelievable.

These jokers' record of gross incompetence and self-enrichment takes the prize for Worst Political Class since the days of Fillmore and Buchanan. (Yes, the empty suits whose neglect caused us to drift into a civil war.)

#4 Leaves one to ponder if the 'leave' was sponsored.

But actually true.

#8 Paid Parental Leave Entitlement and Usage

to provide up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave to covered Federal employees in
connection with the birth or placement (for adoption or foster care) of a child

Because they bought 2, does that mean he gets 24 weeks of leave?

Wonder what 'no job' Chas is doing in that little apartment with two screamers.

#10 "...to be eligible for FMLA, employees must have completed at least 12 months of Federal
service as set forth in 5 CFR 630.1201(b)(1)..."

seems to me Buttigieg wasn't eligible for paid leave since he hasn't served 12 months but then again it just a law being broken by a lib, no big deal

#11 Given his level of competence, we’re all probably happier because he isn’t in the job.

#14 Carlson has had 4 children, pretty sure he is aware of bottle feeding you butthead. I'd put money down that Carlson, if he was awakened tonight at 3 am, he could make 2 bottles is less time than these two.

I get two months for a mom, especially if a tough pregnancy, or C-Section. 2 weeks for the Dad, do the heavy lifting, laundry, tend the bedpan while mom weans off the pain medications, comes back into shape.

This, this is the stork showing up with two healthy babies, signing the receipt, and getting on with the routine.

And so whiny too. Mean Jokes, bottles are hard, I have a phone and nobody called, being a gawdammed sissy about the whole cock-up.
