House Republicans moved to reduce Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s salary to $1, as lawmakers debate spending bills ahead of the government funding deadline next week.
The salary cut for Buttigieg was put forth by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and adopted by voice vote as an amendment to the 2024 Transpiration and Housing and Urban Development spending bill.
“Pete Buttigieg doesn’t do his job. It’s all about fake photo ops and taxpayer-funded private jet trip to accept LGBTQ awards for him,” Green posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “I’m happy my amendment passed, but he doesn’t deserve a single penny.”
The underlying bill needs to be approved by the full House and is unlikely to be approved by the Senate.
So them being fake is a given, yet your god is somehow different?
No, that was my point.
God doesn’t exist, the only people who feel the need to wrap their identity around it (or lack of it) are edgelord atheists and fundamentalist Christians.
sure, but don’t equate ‘obsessed edgelords’ with people making simple factual statements online
most atheists don’t think about religion much at all except for when it’s presented to them in the form of people making illogical claims online. at that point it’s fair to offer the contrary opinion so the people passing by the thread can make their judgement as to what is and is not crazy
it is completely reasonable to compare santa and the tooth fairy with god because they are all mythological, which presents the question of why people treat one as sacred and the others as simple stories. it highlights the irrationality of beleiving
Sorry, who exactly do you think are the perpetrators of basing their entire existence on it? The atheists…?? Fuck me, just look at what the religious right are up to in the US and then compare that with the atheists… Delusional
