“So I saw a political ad, where Mayor Pete, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, going on and on and on and on and on, about how parents in America are struggling to explain President Trump to their children. And then I happen to see this — now, what are you shaking your head at in there? You think — natural conclusion — so he says Trump causes problems for parents, what about that? If you’re not watching on the DittoCam, what it is, a picture of Mayor Pete kissing his husband — which he does frequently.”
The problem for Rush and his ilk (aside from being the walking dead) is that in Iowa and New Hampshire, Pete killed it with older people – who you would think would be as homophobic as expected. Unfortunately for the 'phobes out there (and some of the younger “woke queers”), Pete is EXACTLY the kind of wholesome cisgender white gay that genuinely appeals to people without being threatening in any way. Even kissing his husband doesn’t come off as gross as Al & Tipper. And Chasten is to Pete the way Michelle was to Barack.
No, sorry, I’m not voting for Biden (in the primary anyway). He disqualified himself by running the same poor campaign he ran the last two times, which many of us here predicted he would do, the minute he entered the race.
He’s too old, too slow, and too out of touch with the current political scene in this country. He capped it off in that recent town hall meeting by calling a voter a “Lying dog-faced pony soldier.” Which he apparently thought was funny, but it’s just one more indication of how he’s living in a different era than the rest of us in his head, and it’s time to move on.
If Joe delivers a winning hand in the 3 NV congressional districts that touch LV, he will have proven that IA/NH are just bizarre anomalies full of entitled, self-interested voters who get disproportionate attention from politicians, and are unrepresentative of the nation as a whole.
If Pete made it as far as a debate against Trump, it would be lovely to see him shut down this kind of “Who is the Manliest Man here?” crap with a comparison of his military experience with “Ol Bonespurs” standing next to him.
And then run some ads with a photo of Pete holding his rifle and wearing fatigues in Afghanistan, along with that photo of Trump golfing with his fat ass hanging out. Quien es mas macho?
Or, issue a declaration that all awards made by trump be renamed “the trump medal” - it would cut down on the whining because trumpers would like the name while the majority of people worldwide will realize exactly what those awards are worth.
I was trying to figure out if the next President could honor Lt.Col.Vindman for balance in the history books. But as far as I can tell, the Medal of Freedom can only be awarded to civilians, and the military equivalent Medal of Honor has a restriction that it has to be valor in combat.
Then again, one of the qualifications reads “While engaged in action against an enemy of the United States” which certainly applies to Trump.
