PETE BUTTIGIEG has been MIA.

While U.S. ports faced anchor-to-anchor traffic and Congress nearly melted down over the president’s infrastructure bill in recent weeks, the usually omnipresent Transportation secretary was lying low.

One of the White House’s go-to communicators didn’t appear on TV. He was absent on Capitol Hill during the negotiations over the bill he had been previously helping sell to different members of Congress. Conservative critics tried (unsuccessfully) to get #WheresPete to trend and Fox News ran a story on October 4 with the headline: “Buttigieg quiet on growing port congestion as shipping concerns build ahead of holidays.”

They didn’t previously announce it, but Buttigieg’s office told West Wing Playbook that the secretary has actually been on paid leave since mid-August to spend time with his husband, Chasten, and their two newborn babies.

“For the first four weeks, he was mostly offline except for major agency decisions and matters that could not be delegated,” said a spokesperson for the Department of Transportation. “He has been ramping up activities since then.” As he does that, Buttigieg will “continue to take some time over the coming weeks to support his husband and take care of his new children,” the spokesperson added.


So hey, frick the ports, trucking, interstate commerce, trade, and all that shite. To be fair to him, this has been a disaster for months to where even when he was working he was pure shite at his job, but hey can’t be bothered. Don’t want to comment on the Afghanistan fiasco either because why put focus on myself?

Just when you think this administration can’t get any worse or dumber, they manage to surprise you at every turn. My two babies are more important than every other baby looking for food and diapers. Why bother worrying about the supply line to everyone else when I’ve made it into the Big Club and will be taken care of forever? frick every other parent in this, I get to snooze on my job because I’m better than you.

You got to be shi***** me.

At some point your job is too important for things like personal leave. I used to my own company; the company and my employees came first, above everything else, because their families depended on me for their livelihoods.

I’m starting to think a lot of these fed gov heads just have “no show” jobs… especially the ones who are appointed.

Neither of them have vaginas so I am not sure why they need time off from work.

People on Twitter are rightfully pointing out that perhaps more egregious than his absence is the fact that the media didn't notice the key administration official was missing even during a crisis on his turf.

And they're brining up Stelter's "Where is Melania" wall to wall coverage when she went missing for like 5 days.

He’s recovering from the episiotomy after they removed the baby from his arse.

Here’s the thing: this has been a crisis for a while. I’ve been bitching about this since April and it was my very first question when the lockdowns were announced. Now it’s become too big to ignore. So Pete has been fricking this up since the start. This whole administration is a fricking clown show. Even people who hated Trump have to acknowledge his cabinet was nowhere near the clown show this is.

Yeah, Stelter is just an evil and all around disgusting human being in pretty much every way you can imagine. Look at this face and tell me he doesn’t regularly rape and eat kids? He looks like the Pale Man from Pan’s Labyrinth after he just finished cannibalizing a dozen kids:

his husband, Chasten

If that's his given name, his parents basically wanted him to suck on dick at some point.

I wonder if this will follow Pete into his future presidential races.

We never had that much time off for any of our kids. Combined.

I’m guessing that someone in DC wanted him to be out of the way so they stuck him with a problem they knew was coming and figured he was too incompetent to predict.


Mission accomplished.

The media knew. They chose not to say would be my bet.
