He’s also respectful, level headed, competent and experienced in government. He’d make a phenomenal President, someone I’d happily vote for if I was able to.

He's impressive.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Administration staffers were caught off guard by a painfully awkward situation today as former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg returned to the White House from his maternity leave.

Buttigieg had gone on an extended break after his husband adopted twins in 2021, only returning this morning to find that the entire Biden administration had been replaced and his job given to someone else.

"Wow, was I really gone that long?" a confused Buttigieg reportedly asked upon entering the White House. "I know I asked to have my maternity leave extended a bit, but wow! I didn't think I was away that long. There's a new president? Really?"

Buttigieg was later met by the Trump administration's communications team, which escorted him through the White House while attempting to explain to him that several years had passed while he was on leave.

"A lot has happened," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. "Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race. Kamala took his place. Trump won in a landslide last November, and you've been replaced as Secretary of Transportation by Sean Duffy. Aren't the kids you adopted like four years old now?"

At that point, witnesses said a flustered Buttigieg appeared to take a phone call before claiming that he had suddenly adopted another baby, and he had to go on leave again.

What we known for sure about homophobes like Frank is that they probably "handle" Smiley

gay people when the doors are closed and the lights are out.

Moreover, Pete is so good that all Frank can criticise him for is his sexuality.

Pathetic.

That's an own goal from Frank.

Homophobes should consider a little self-reflection, suggests a new study finding those individuals who are most hostile toward gays and hold strong anti-gay views may themselves have same-sex desires, albeit undercover ones.

No. I just recognise that they are afflicted and many are also actively cultivating their perversion.
It's no 'fear' to recognise abnormality.

Indeed.

We aren't scared of recognising yours.

Again, Pete is so good that all you can criticise him for is his sexuality.
