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.
Then it is a belief. And you can prove negatives, just not grandiose ones. I can prove there is no salt in a solution. But until I prove it, that is a belief and not a given. The fact that the scale is the entirety of Reality makes no difference in the applicable Scientific proof required from the claimant. Negativity or affirmity is irrelevant. A claim which can’t be proven is a belief and nothing more.
Try brushing up on the argument you are attempting to make. Your desperation to argue against a claim you assume I believe has you floundering. There was no positive claim. The negative claim made was made in an attempt to reinforce their weak faith by forcing it upon others. Just because your equally weak faith can’t survive others not agreeing makes the negative claim no less a belief. It remains nothing more than your belief no matter how hard you stamp your feet and demand others must prove you wrong or accept your unsupported claim. Simply not how it works.
Or more precisely a delusion
Nope. That’s simply not how proof works. You can statistically prove something to be unlikely, but you can’t prove without a doubt that something isn’t the case.
No. Not believing in your invisible sky daddy is by definition the opposite of belief. A lack of belief is a kind of belief like no car is a kind of car.
And that’s how much I’m gonna entertain your lunacy. I was about to adress all your other falsehoods, but life’s too short to spend too much of it arguing with religious zealots who think they’re making logical sense.
Your insistence upon arguing against what no one claimed is insurmountable. Perhaps when you’ve got enough faith in your own belief system, you’ll be able to engage with others. Until then go ahead and stamp your feet all you need.
🥱
Aww, so edgy.
