[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's succession planning. They cant put all their eggs in the Kamala Harris basket. She didn't fare well at all in the last primary.  I'm a swing voter who currently identifies as republican, and I prefer to get to know my options. Pete seems to spend a lot of time in the public, after his eternal parental leave anyway. [/quote]

4 weeks of parental leave is “eternal”? Europeans are given 4 weeks of [i]vacation[/i] let alone doing something as important as parenting. What motivates people like you to be cheerleaders for corporations to make us their slaves? Isn’t life for living and spending time with family and not just working at a job?[/quote]

Four weeks? Someone's got amnesia. The man was gone for 3 months while the ports backed up and even worse he didn't appoint an Acting Secretary because he knew it would look bad to have someone else serving in the role longer than he'd actually been appointed.

You are wrong. Your video doesn’t mention the length of Buttigieg‘s leave.

Buttigieg was on leave for 4 weeks. Here is my source (Fortune):

[i]U.S. transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg came back to work last week, [b]after taking four weeks off[/b] to be with his newly adopted twin babies, Penelope Rose and Joseph August. This was a major news story and political talking point for many days.[/i]

This is why it is a national security issue to fight against misinformation.[/quote]

Oh my god, give it a rest. The administration says he was 'taking four weeks off' but in reality he was gone for 3 months. His children were prematurely born in AUGUST. They were in the ICU from that time until until winter when the second twin was released from the hospital in November and Pete was not paying attention at all to the crisis at the ports.

The fact that they acted like he was working at all while checking on a surrogate and then hospitalized babies is a total lie. Would you paying attention to your job when your premies are born in a pandemic, unvaccinated, hospitalized out of state, and in an ICU to boot?

No.[/quote]

Thank you to the PP for a reality check.  Look, Pete is way over publicized.  It has zero to do with his job performance.  [/quote]
