(CNN)President-elect Joe Biden will nominate Pete Buttigieg to be his transportation secretary, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN, elevating the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to a top post in the federal government.
Buttigieg would be the first Senate-confirmed LGBTQ Cabinet secretary should his nomination make it through the chamber.
The choice -- which represents the first time the President-elect has called on one of his former Democratic presidential opponents to join his administration as a Cabinet secretary -- vaults a candidate Biden spoke glowingly of after the primary into a top job in his incoming administration and could earn Buttigieg what many Democrats believe is needed experience should he run for president again.
The role of transportation secretary is expected to play a central role in Biden's push for a bipartisan infrastructure package.

He got the job because he's the "first [x] to be appointed to [y] office" and for no other reason, just like most of Biden's appointments thus far.

Who needs meritocracy or even qualified nepotism when you can have tokenism? The Obama years are back, baby!
 
Buttgag is a massive faggot and a literal FBI/George Soros plant but his stance on China is based.

"presidential candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg sees the trade tensions as bigger than just tariffs.

“I actually think China presents more of a challenge than any of my fellow Democrats do,” Buttigieg said at The New Yorker Festival. “It’s because I look at what’s happening there and what I see is the use of technology for the perfection of dictatorship.

“But, that doesn’t mean that the president’s approach makes any sense,” he said. “Because it’s not a strategy. He’s just poking the guy to see what will happen. Moreover, he’s essentially reduced the U.S-China relationship to the question of who’s selling more dishwashers.”"
 
Hmm...

I guess the American version of the Ed Miliband eating a bacon sandwich picture IS funnier...
 
don't you people have a hugbox PM to run off to in order to hide from the mean stickers?

Whatever happened to cabinet picks being chosen because they were qualified for the position?

When you get to a certain level of government it's more about how well you can wheel and deal and the connections you have. You hire people to actually be knowledgeable in whatever field.

That said, Buttigieg isn't a terrible person to appoint if one of your goals is passing a large bipartisan transportation bill.
 
Wasn't he supposed to be his "Gun Control Czar" or am I thinking of some other faggot? If so, guess Old Joe knows that he can't rock the boat too hard on the gun control issue so there's that.
 
It's better than him being the ambassador to China I guess.

How do I say his last name again? This is a serious question.
 
Maybe with a glow-in-the-dark at the head of Transportation, we won't be able to see them in the road and run them over with our cars anymore.
