Pete Buttigieg Tells ‘Daily Show’ GOP’s Focus on Transgenders Getting in the Way of Transportation Needs

As railroad disasters and breakdowns in the airline industry continue to plague the country under his watch, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (D) took time out of his schedule to appear on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, where he blamed Republican focus on transgenderism for getting in the way of his work.
Pete Buttigieg sat down with Tuesday’s Daily Show host — a comedian named Desi Lydic — to play the blame game amid growing calls for his resignation. During the segment, Lydic falsely accused conservatives of starting culture wars to stall on key issues, to which Buttigieg concurred.
Watch below:
Secy. @PeteButtigieg tells the Daily Show: House Republicans' bill restricting transgender participation in women's sports is "really getting in the way of our ability to" repair bridges & railroads.

“Just the other day, I was testifying in the Appropriations Subcommittee, explaining how our budget was going to help with things like railroad safety, air traffic control, and other transportation needs,” he said. “And we had to take a break so that they could all go and vote on a bill to kick transgender teenagers off of sports teams. That was the priority.”
He added: “So these things are really getting in the way of our ability to get work done. We’re building bridges and they’re literally banning books.”
The show’s studio audience dutifully booed their hatred of Republicans.
Under Buttigieg’s watch, the country’s transportation infrastructure has experienced a string of catastrophes and accidents. The railroad disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, has rendered the town a toxic disaster site, while subsequent rail accidents have poisoned other towns, including in Montana and North Dakota.
Staff shortages in the aviation sector have led to a number of runway near misses as well as a spike in flight delays in New York and Washington, D.C.
As Breitbart News reported, a recent Rasmussen Reports survey found aa majority of likely voters want Buttigieg to resign for how he handled the East Palestine disaster. The survey found 51 percent, said he should resign, followed by 36 percent who said he should not and 13 percent who remain unsure.


Gay little butt thumper thinks everybody is as ignorant as he is!

Zeiss LRP S3 4-25x50mm OR Nightforce NX8 4-32x50mm F1

For paid learning, self training, some ELR, some local competitions of the PRS, Steel Challenge, and general gun-Fu variety, which of the two would you choose in FFP, Mil-Mil? It'll be going on a Tikka T3x Tac A1 in 6.5cm.

The Zeiss would have their sole Mil reticle option the MRi-16. The NF would be the Mil-XT.

The one thing that is of note is the Zeiss is very new and we just can't know its long term reliability, durability, and general ruggedness- but it's an appealing scope just like NF.

SBR Build

I'm looking to build my first SBR in the near(ish) future, to celebrate my upcoming US Citizenship (current permanent resident).

The goals are to have a fun and quality SBR. Not trying to clone anything, not trying to build for some SHTF scenario. Just a quality SBR that will be used for fun, and will be shot 100% suppressed.

I've never built an ar-15 and have no SBR's, so any feedback on my plan is much welcomed. I have not 100% decided on anything, nor have I started to acquire any parts yet, so I can move in any direction with this build upon feedback.

This is what I'm thinking:

- Noveske Gen 1 matched receiver set
- Nefarious Arms 10.5" dimpled barrel
- Geissele 10" super modular Federal rail
- Geissele SSA-E trigger
- Geissele Super Duty LPK
- JP silent capture spring with H2 buffer
- Superlative arms adjustable gas block
- Rearden Arms FHD muzzle device
- CTR stock (already own)
- Magpul MOE-K grip

TBD:
- Charging handle
- BCG

Optic is also TBD - probably something like a T1/T2 Micro. Suppressor will be Able Co Biscuit utilizing Plan B/Rearden system, also have an Omega 300 that could be used with it.

Thoughts on this build? Any issues with comparability for my proposed components?

SOLD Supertrickler A&D fx120i combo

Gen 1 supertrickler and ADfx120i scale. Not reloading very much and its just sitting here. Works perfect. Zero issues. Not splitting them up. Have no need for the scale without the ST and vice versa.

$1300 shipped insured

Venmo only. PP suspended my account for “selling firearms and ammunition”
