  1. From the article:

    ” President Donald Trump’s demolition of the White House is rubbing Pete Buttigieg wrong, but not for the same reasons as Hillary Clinton and other left-wing politicians.

    The Biden transportation secretary and former Indiana mayor said he is peeved at the timing of the East Wing’s destruction—to make way for a “literally gilded” ballroom—more than anything, as millions of everyday Americans are just learning their healthcare costs are spiking.

    “My focus right now isn’t about historic preservation,” he told CNN. “It’s about what’s going on in people’s lives.”

    He continued, “What’s most wrong about what President Trump is doing to the White House grounds is—it shows that his focus is on building a bigger venue for fancy dinners, when, because of his actual policies, Americans are opening those letters and finding out this week that they’re not going to be able to afford their healthcare next year.” “

  2. “Eviscerates” is typical Daily Beast hyperbole, but Buttigieg does make a good, if slightly obvious, point.

  3. I don’t think future presidents will complain when they no longer have to hold state dinners with world leaders in a tent.

  4. “Mild mannered” is a nice way of saying “milquetoast”.

  5. >“How in the world could you be focused on building a new ballroom—literally gilded ballroom—for fancy parties for your rich friends, at the exact moment when working Americans, actually disproportionately working Americans, who voted for you, are getting screwed by your healthcare policy, and you don’t seem to be interested in helping them,” Buttigieg said.

  6. I don’t care. We need people on his side of the aisle to find their god damn spines and stand up to him

  7. Make politics boring again. We’re trying to administrer a government, not make neighbors hate neighbors. Maga is fucking cancer.

  8. Sadly buutigieg is out as a champion for me. There are many up and coming people who are better reps.

  9. “Mild-mannered” because he’s intelligent and respectful of other people’s opinions

  11. Pete always gets his point out clearly. I like Pete

  12. It shows he’s building a ballroom for bigger dinners, when many Americans aren’t going to be able to afford to eat ANY dinner starting Nov. 1st.

  13. Please go away. Anyone associated with Biden or Kamala cannot run for president. And we should vote out all Democrats in Congress and start over from scratch. 

  14. Just did a fact check on this. He speaks English, Arabic, French Italian,
    Maltese, Norwegian and Spanish.

  16. “Eviscerates”. Words don’t mean anything anymore, do they?

  17. The bunker and ballroom are where DJT and his Proud Boi MAGA goons will make their last stand. No dictator has ever allowed himself to be voted from office, and soon enough the majority of Americans will have had a gutfull of fascism under Putin’s puppet. This is all just preparations for his Alamo.

  18. I’ve been saying it really feels like the first estate partying away while the third estate can’t afford bread.

  19. Mild mannered?

    Admit it, this is his secret identity.

    He really is

    SUPERGAYMAN.

    (Love the guy, one of the best ppl ever to happen to American politics. Just have to get those idiots to vote for him as president)

  20. Corporate Democrat EVISCERATES and DESTROYS Republican using co opted democratic socialist language which he never gave two shits about in 2020

  21. New rule: Until these people are ACTUALLY eviscerated, headlines are no longer allowed to use shitty cliche hyperbole.

  22. Trump’s gilded ghost of Versailles rises while MAGA voters tally insulin bills—Buttigieg nails the elite disconnect, turning shutdown suffering into spotlight fodder for donor dances.

  23. I always loved Pete.

    Bearded Pete is fuckin fierce. Go get em Pete.

  24. Pete Buttigieg is basically a conservative if we didn’t live in a reality where the bar to be “liberal” is “don’t be an actual Nazi.” We need to stop allowing the corporate Democrats to shift the Overton window on us by parading guys like him in front of the media.
