Pete Buttigieg has been away from his desk at the Department of Transportation for two months and no one noticed until this week. He’s been home on paternity leave since the birth of his twins. Normally, we might just shrug our shoulders and say who cares? These are not normal times, though, and there is a transportation crisis going on that has to be handled. The supply chain is facing severe disruption and cargo ships are backed up trying to get their goods unloaded in American ports, especially in California. Where’s Pete?
Politico had a piece about Pete going missing, having only now realized it, too, apparently. The liberal site dragged

Why indeed? He failed as a mayor so Joey rewarded him in accordance with the Peter Principle.

Paternity leave of two months is absurd.

Why is Joe Biden still called "The President?" $400,000.00 a year for sometimes showing up a couple of hours a day to give an angry, condescending speech, sleeping on the job much of the time and being rushed back to Delaware every weekend to receive his meds cocktails. Not to mention the fact that the American people did not elect him.

Because he fills diversity squares and is so incompetent he isn't a threat to Biden. "See? We're inclusive. Here's our fairy."

He still has his job because if they firedhim over job performance, they would have to fire the entire Biden administration. In the current WH, style is more valued than substance.

It's obvious he was just used to check a box. Probably was told 'we'll tell you what to do.'

Buttguy only got the DOT job because Old Demented figured he was intimately acquainted with South Bend's bus terminal, or its lavatory at least. Otherwise there was nothing that qualified him for such a high level Federal position.

An executive order suspending California EPA restrictions for the trucking industry would be a yuuuuuge step in ending this supply chain fiasco created by the left. However we all know the left never makes mistakes let alone admits to them.

I suppose I don't mind parental leave (paid is another question), but a simple issue presents itself:
Did this baby need TWO men lolling around the house with him all day, sticking a bottle in his mouth for a cute photo shoot? Couldn't Buttigeg's amour have stayed with the kid, allowing Buttigeg to work for his pay and our country? Isn't that how "hardworking American parents" (rhapsodized about by rich Democrats who knew nothing of them) handle these things every day of their lives?
I ask: What "important" job does Buttigeg's co-parent have, that he couldn't have stayed home with the baby (and the inevitable maid) himself? I doubt whether the co-parent's gig involves administering a national supply chain that has collapsed, threatening 350 million Americans with a cold, hungry winter . . .
The fact that Buttigeg isn't publicly humiliated and fired is a disgrace to our country.

Because the shadow people that run biden and the government in general don't want anyone competent in ANY job. As long as they are devout leftists that will do nothing most of the time, and occasionally follow orders to destroy the things that made America function well, it is all good with our true rulers.

She asks some great questions - why wasn't his leave publicly announced in August and why wasn't the #2 person put in charge during his absence?

In today's woke society being gay and black or perhaps both you are a protected species above all others. Butterplug can't be fired and Joe Biden is clueless about things surrounding him. We as a nation are in a pickle with a pretend pervert fraud leader, homosexuals, transgender, racist blacks all leading us like a pack of lunatic nitwits.

Makes you wonder what he would have done if he had been elected president. Turn things over to Kamala for two months?

Hermit Crab (#17) nailed it.
Butt-plug has the job because he is the most incompetent screaming Leftist poster-'boy' that they could find for that position.
Just like that ugly worthless guy-pretending-to-be-a-woman that is now a 'Four Star Admiral' in the Health service.
The Communists running the HairSniffer administration have filled each position in the entire Administrative roster with the person they could find that is the most destructive to the US in that facet of the operation of the Federal government.
Disagre?
Name ONE person that is doing a good job, by traditional American performance standards!
For that matter, name ONE facet of operation of the Federal government that is NOT a Flaming Dumpster of Pig Feces!
