Engagement farming to raise ad rev.

Better to block and ignore.

Potato's what - skin?


I can only quote what my secret sauce said, I personally prefer my potato mashed with onion.

Quote:
They lie face down on the table, often masked, bottom lubed and ready to go.

Many have esteemed positions - judges, politicians, senior public servants. After a hard day's work, they only want one thing: to be rogered.

He claims Netanyahu and the IDF aren't committing genocide, which they clearly are.

Someone as ignorant as that has no place running for President.

Seriously - you guys get together in a jerk circle ⭕️ and just believe any sort of Democrat bullshit that comes out of your mouths.

Let’s start with the easy stuff.

Buttplug has Zero Black Voter Support

Buttigieg polled at 0% - yes thats right, 0% Grin - among African American voters in 2020 primaries in South Carolina and Indiana.

Critics, including Julián Castro, blasted his “bad track record with African Americans,” saying he’s toxic to a key Democratic base. Many people say that he’s “radioactive” with Black voters, a dealbreaker for a nominee.

What a dam joke  Roll Eyes

Ok, lets keep going  Roll Eyes

Transportation Secretary Flops.

His handling of the 2023 East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment was a disaster, with Democrats like Nina Turner and Republicans like JD Vance ripping him for a delayed visit and weak response.

He admitted on CNN to screwing it up.

Folks trash him for wasting $80 billion on DEI grants while air traffic control faltered, causing a 2023 FAA outage that grounded flights.

Senator Tom Cotton sneered he “couldn’t organize a one-car funeral.”

Rural broadband? $42 billion spent, zero households connected, per critics. Wtf 😳

“Wall Street Pete” and Elite Vibes

Buttigieg’s 2020 campaign was dogged by “Wall Street Pete” protests for cozying up to billionaire donors. (All the homo’s)

Bernie Sanders hammered his big-money ties, saying he’s in the pocket of elites. His Harvard-Oxford polish and McKinsey background scream “out-of-touch elitist” to working-class voters.

Carpetbagger Accusations

After moving to Michigan, Buttigieg was labeled a “carpetbagger” for eyeing a Senate run, with folks accusing him of using the state as a political stepping stone. His ambition is seen as naked opportunism, hopping from South Bend to D.C. to Michigan for clout.

Paternity Leave Backlash

Buttigieg caught flak for taking paternity leave in 2021 during a supply chain crisis, with conservatives like Tucker Carlson mocking him as AWOL.

Folks claimed he was “mostly offline” for a month, shirking duties while ports clogged and shelves emptied.

Homophobia Hurdle

As the first openly gay candidate, Buttigieg faces raw homophobia.

U.S. too “homophobic” for him to win swing states. In 2020, anti-abortion activist Randall Terry heckled him in Iowa as a “poster boy for homosexuals,” and some Democrats fear his identity could tank turnout among socially conservative voters. No one likes a POO JABBER

Biden’s Baggage

Tied to the unpopular Biden administration, Buttigieg is seen as damaged goods post-2024 loss. Folks argue his loyalty to Biden, calling him a “consequential president,” chains him to a sinking ship, alienating voters craving an outsider.

Debate Aggression Backfired

In 2020 debates, Buttigieg’s sharp attacks on Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar were seen as petty, alienating their supporters. Critics say he’s more about zingers than substance, burning bridges within the party.

South Bend Scandals

Beyond race issues, Buttigieg’s South Bend record includes low minority contracting in city projects, fueling accusations of systemic bias.
His “smart streets” initiative was criticised as gentrification, prioritising downtown over struggling neighbourhoods.

What a loser  Roll Eyes

The Current illegitimate president is the least qualified ever. Trump is certain to become rated as the worst president ever - twice. The only presidential term worse than Trump's term is Trumps other term.
