Turtler says:

Ah yes, if it isn’t the Ernst Roehm wannabe. The Fascist F@got who only pauses in giving sane and moral homosexuals, bisexuals, and others a bad name when they proceed to give the entire damn human species a bad name.

Though you are still nowhere near as competent, brave, or charismatic as Roehm. Who while a monstrous human being and a depraved economic idiot at least was willing to get into the thick of combat and present his beliefs honestly rather than going to heckle online.

Anyway, let’s dissect this.

“VG’s routinely writes about Pete Buttigieg. Want to know why? Because they’re utterly terrified that he will kick the shit out of any MAGA conservative when he runs for president in the future. “

This is what we call fantasizing. Interpreting reality to be as you wish it to be rather than what it actually is, particularly when it allows you to vicariously live through your idols. It is a problem across the political spectrum but for some reason it is particularly evident on the left, as Mindy Kaling attests.

I’ll let you in on a secret. You are MOSTLY wrong. And not just overall but on that specific charge.

I will admit there is a sliver of truth in that there is fear about what damage Buttigieg could do, especially as a photogenic and politically correct politician with a slavishly positive media. But most of that worry has less to do with Buttigieg and more with the overweening tendencies of bias, corruption, and vote tampering at play; as shown by Arizona.

The real reason VicGals talked about Buttigieg so often is much simpler but nowhere near as flattering. Namely that he is *a freaking Weak Target.* When you get past the carefully cultivated media persona and positive publicity to actually look at what a miserable failure he has been, In South Bend, in Transportation, and as a whole, it becomes clear that Buttigieg is nowhere near that good. We’re he a heterosexual democrat we probably never would have heard of him, and he certainly would not have reached the lofty heights he has.

And in politics, much of the focus comes from identifying the other side’s weak links and remorselessly pounding them. Which is what we are doing here. On some level you know this because you endlessly blather at the straw man wind mill of “the Fucking Genius” you identify with Trump precisely because you think it is a negative for conservatives, so don’t play dumb. You’re stupid enough as it is in reality.

Buttigieg’s record is a net negative, far more so than Trump’s. which is why the VicGals talk about it. He is an easy target for the entire Biden Administration, because his incompetence, callousness, and venality speak not just about himself but also the state of America and your fellow Leftists.

And again, on some level you know this, instinctively enough if not consciously, because you IMMEDIATELY deflect and try to blame this on… Trump Budget Cuts to the EPA and allege that this merely “makes” Buttigieg look incompetent.

“Buttigieg has no problem appearing on Fox to support the work he’s doing or the work of the Biden Administration. The Fox “spin doctor” usually walks away looking like a complete fool because of the moronic question or inability to respond to something Buttigieg said. “

We are obviously watching very different shows, because Buttigieg’s actual conduct during interviews and debates is a major weakness. As underlined by his craven, clueless callousness and irrelevant blather about it white construction workers. Like Justin Trudeau, he exceeds best at being seen and looking photogenic while networking politically, not being some grand intellectual or even charismatic Titan who can push things forward in public directly.

“The smear campaign by VG is beyond apparent. “

Ah yes. How dare Victory Girls condemn the clueless, callous, manifestly incompetent fool as clueless, callous, and manifestly incompetent.

I man it isn’t like he just oversaw one of the great man made disasters in US history. And I live in Ohio for the record.

“Here’s how I know that …”

Claims facts not in evidence: that you know something.

“Back to beating the drum of “hypocrisy.” “

His is rich considering you are an artist in hypocrisy. As we should expect from someone who thrives on attacking their opponents, largely to compensate for fundamental weakness when pinned down and forced to undergo scrutiny.

“Where was VG when one of the largest passenger death train derailment happened under Elaine Chow (I won’t bother to use the racist reference by TFG … the F*$king Genius)? “

I realize you’re a fucking idiot and arguing in bad faith, but let us underline.

A passenger train crash in and of itself is tragic, especially if it could have been foreseeably prevented (something you say nothing about). But once it happens it can hardly be undone and there is relatively little to fix beyond cleaning up the site, rescuing who can be rescued, returning the remains of those who cannot, and taking stock.

But when a train crash LOOSES DANGEROUS CHEMICALS AT THE CONFLUENCE OF MAJOR RIVERS AND THE SUPPOSED CLEANUP RESULTS IN FREAKING PHOSGENE GAS FOR MILES AROUND, *that’s significantly more concerning.* Especially since such trains are meant to be handled at least as carefully as passenger cars if not moreso, precisely (if paradoxically) because these things being wrecked will pose a greater threat to life, limb, wellbeing, and environment than a train of passengers. Sounds cold but it is true.

East Palestine wouldn’t have had to be evacuated if it wasn’t true.

In any case, this is a lazy, dumb, and weak case of whataboutism. L

“One can easily search Department of Transportation databases on railroad accidents and you can see for any three year time span accidents sorted by a variety of reasons. “

And accidents are a fact of life. But not all accidents are created equal. I know even you are capable of grasping this Kevin, so stop lying.

“Where are the MAGA crowds when showing up to support the DEQ’s ability to limit what railroads are hauling through our neighborhoods or where they’re building transfer stations for chemicals?”

Because firstly you’re a fucking idiot and a hypocrite, and secondly because “limit what railroads are hauling through out neighborhoods” is a fundamentally subpar solution for day to day economic life COMPARED TO MAKING THE MOST DANGEROUS CARGOS AS SAFE TO TRANSIT AS POSSIBLE.

Blinding understanding from the freaking mid 19th century. But it doesn’t let you try and deflect from Mayor Pete.

Also, how telling is it that in response to an avoidable tragedy largely caused by leftist government screwups, your logic is to…. Give the government more power agitated largely by leftists, so it can screw up in new and Greater ways.

“It’s all a smoke screen to lay the ground work to make Buttigieg out to look incompetent. “

Firstly: that’s not what smokescreens are.

Secondly: Buttigieg doesn’t merely look incompetent. He is incompetent. A cursory look at South Bend or this shows it.

Thirdly: your post is a weak smokescreen to try and deflect from the incredibly obvious. Buttigieg is a weak link in terms of actual competence, and this incident in particular shows it.

“Here’s a better way to show how incompetent he is … stack his academic and career accomplishments against those of TFG (the F*$king Genius) and then step back to ponder who has the more impressive track record. Not gonna happen.”

I would gladly do so, and might if I anm bothered. Unfortunately for you, TFG defeats Buttigieg hands down. Which is why you and your fellow screwups rarely bother to discuss the finer points of Buttigieg’s actual record.

Oh also, “academic accomplishments.” Not gonna be a focus, precisely because academic accomplishments are not a direct tie to career accomplishments. Compare Woodrow Wilson to Ike (who I am honestly not that fond of but was not an utter disaster as Wilson was).
