I just love Pete Buttigieg. He has the smartest snark.

Buttigieg on DeSantis video: I'm going to leave aside the strangeness of trying to prove your manhood by putting up a video that splices images of you in between oiled up shirtless body builders.

[FalloutShelter]

1. LOL Brilliant.

Love him.

2. In case you haven't yet seen DeSaster's DeSastrous video:

8. No videos but Cowboys for Trump founder Couy Griffin

…posted photos of himself bare-chested, some with a bobcat vest.

Equally creepy.

34. In Couy's case, I think he's gay

…and hates that he can’t be authentic.

[IronLionZion]

18. Zero libs were owned by his video

[misanthrope]

21. Not just the images Buttigieg referenced

but that music in the DeSantis vid sounds like it would be welcome in a gay dance club.

[maspaha]

23. Ewww

I need to go shower now

[ShazzieB]

29. Talk about tone deaf!

Parts of this video come across more anti DeSantis than pro DeSantis to me. To anyone who's not a dyed in the wool homophobe or transphobe, this just makes him look terrifying and threatening. That music along made me feel like jumping out of my skin.

I don't believe in lizard people, but I can almost believe DeSantis is some sort of reptile. That would explain why he has such a hard time relating to people or predicting how they will react to things. What a loser!

[DavidDvorkin]

3. That's at least partly due to Pete always being the smartest person in the room.

[tblue37]

5. +a brazillion! nt

[Elessar Zappa]

7. Yup.

As they would say in Boston, he’s “wicked smaht!”.

[LoisB]

19. I agree.

[betsuni]

4. I love him and the entire Biden administration.

[CTyankee]

11. I adore him and his husband. They are outstanding human beings.

[Diamond_Dog]

6. Yes Trump is a complete whack job

But I still hear some people say “But his policies were good for America!”

[emulatorloo]

16. Ask them "what policies, and how were the good for America?" That renders them speechless.

[reACTIONary]

20. What policies? Do you mean....

...... Infrastructure Week?

Then laugh.

[allegorical oracle]

9. Can remember him being on a TV appearance when he was still a mayor in Indiana. Told fellow

libs at the time, "watch for this guy... he's an up-and-comer." IMO, he's the full political package.

[NNadir]

12. Me too. A wonderful tremendous guy.

[pandr32]

13. Being woke has advantage.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

15. Secretary Pete is amazing

[Blue Owl]

17. I still love this description of DeSantis:

From GOP political strategist Jeff Timmer:

“It’s like he’s been assembled from the discarded spare parts of Bobby Jindal, Bill deBlasio, Rick Perry, and Scott Walker.”

[SunSeeker]

24. Bill DeBlasio? I don't get that part.

What could DeSantis have in common with DeBlasio, other than the Italian "De" at the start of his surname?

[lame54]

[Cha]

22. That was Good! TY & TS Pete Buttigieg

[SunSeeker]

25. The video also flashes a shot of Brad Pitt clad in a metal helmet from the movie Troy.

I doubt DeSantis got approval for that. Brad Pitt is a progressive. Plus the movie is copyrighted.

[ShazzieB]

30. I hope he gets sued for copyright infringement!

[SunSeeker]

31. Me too. He flashes helmeted Brad Pitt in two different spots in the video.

Does he think he looks like Brad Pitt?!

[ShazzieB]

33. If he does think that, he's seriously delusional!

[mahina]

27. Snark aside I salute the unifying message. Thats where we win.

Also how we start to heal.

[North Shore Chicago]

32. Why is "Boots"

using images of Christian Bales' character Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) in this ad? Patrick Bateman was a psychotic serial killer who was ultra cruel and admittedly insane!

If Boots is comparing himself to Bateman, this is extremely disturbing.


It's the late 1980s. Twenty-seven year old Wall Streeter Patrick Bateman travels among a closed network of the proverbial beautiful people, that closed network in only they able to allow others like themselves in in a feeling of superiority. Patrick has a routinized morning regimen to maintain his appearance of attractiveness and fitness. He, like those in his network, are vain, narcissistic, egomaniacal and competitive, always having to one up everyone else in that presentation of oneself, but he, unlike the others, realizes that, for himself, all of these are masks to hide what is truly underneath, someone/something inhuman in nature. In other words, he is comprised of a shell resembling a human that contains only greed and disgust, greed in wanting what others may have, and disgust for those who do not meet his expectations and for himself in not being the first or the best. That disgust ends up manifesting itself in wanting to rid the world of those people, he not seeing them as people but only of those characteristics he wants to rid.—Huggo
