It’s funny watching people defend Paternity Pete like he’s not a cabinet official.
If the Secretary of Transportation can be gone for 2 months in the middle of a crisis, they can be gone permanently and the department shuttered.
“He’s just a regular guy at home with his babies!”

Buuuut the supply chains are on fire and shelves are empty.

“PETE. IS. WITH. HIS. BABIES!”
“Family comes first!”

Yes and my family is running out of things because Pete isn’t doing his job.
No one except the purposefully daft is going after Paternity Pete for taking time.

They’re going after the SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION for not doing his job.

Quit bad faith defending this.
If Pete can’t do the job or is unwilling to put off paternity leave IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRISIS, then maybe he’s not the dude to run this show.
“Well he has undersecretaries to handle things in his absence.”

Cool. How many press conferences have they had on the ports? None?
The bottom line is anyone defending Pete is doing so in bad faith.

He’s the Secretary of Transportation, not the general manager at the Piggy Wiggly.

His job is supposed to pretty important.

And if it’s not, which he seems to think it isn’t, then why are we paying for it?

I give NeverTrump talking heads a lot of grief because of their treatment of President Trump and the Republican base.

But to be fair to them, they had some very legitimate points against Trump.
No, he did not have the temperament to president. He’s quick to anger and mockery. He’s reactionary to any slight or insult. He’s braggadocios, arrogant, and narcissistic.
He has no issue lying or threatening to get his way.
He was a lifelong NY Democrat who didn’t hold conservative values until he started running as a Republican.

Any media story that didn’t reflect upon him well was dismissed as “fake news” and he used people’s anger as a weapon against his opponents.

Loudoun County proves that the War on Women is over and Trans have won.
Seriously, if your take is "Fox made this news which made parents mad which caused threats which made the FBI go after them then Fox complained and it's all Fox's fault",

your take is trash.
I remember when a woman with no proof, no memory, no dates, and no story was held up as a paragon of evidence and #MeToo raged.

Get the fuck outta here with your excuses.

I wonder what the Venn diagram is of NeverTrump and "you're an idiot if you don't get the vaccine" would look like.

I don't know that it's a circle, but I'd think it would be close.
They're the same people that swallowed the "suckers and losers" bit hook, line, and sinker without ever questioning it.

They have a history of questioning the reasons why someone says something, never taking it at face value.
Just a moment ago, I saw a comment about Kyrie.

"He's not giving up his career because he doesn't think he should be told what to do, even though that is what he says. He's really giving it up because ARGLE BARGLE I'M A MIND READER!!"

Nah, bro. You don't know that man.

Every day, I want to do a thread on how NeverTrump/Democrats had realistic concerns about Trump and how he was unqualified.

Every day, I get distracted by the unqualified Democrats in office and the real concerns their policies are creating for average Americans.
Someone may have earnestly voted against Trump by voting Biden.

That hate vote has real world consequences that we can all see every day with our own eyes.
I don't begrudge anyone voting their conscience, no matter how much I disagree with them.

But if we are to face the reality of Trump, we must face the reality of Biden and this incompetent administration.

With as hard in the paint as NeverTrump Republicans are on vaccines, maybe they were just wanting to control women's bodies after all.
I dunno. Judging by how horny Kristol, French, and crew are for "make those idiots get a vaccine because they're too stupid do know better", it's not too far off to think that just maybe their anti-abortion stance wasn't for saving babies but for controlling women.
I mean, look at their gay marriage stance over the years. They were whole-heartedly against it, railing on how it would cause the downfall of society.

Maybe it's not just women, but people that they wanted to control.

On Earth 4, President Trump is under fire for pushing the vaccine. Democrats are very concerned about how much Pfizer has made.
CNN has replaced their COVID cases/death counter with a COVID vaccine side effects cases/death counter.
The economy is coming back but Blue state governors have demanded truckers have the vaccine before crossing state lines.
Healthcare workers are hailed as heroes still, but only those who publicly reject the vaccine.
