I was watching live & he started off typical Repuke talking point so I turned it down. About a minute later I saw him "going off" so I turned the sound back up- Damn!
This is a how to- He didn't let her interrupt #1. He also tore into her about the puppy / goat murders-and did it well.

(80,659 posts)If I told you what I feel her punishment should be for the puppy & goat murder, I'd be banned...use your imagination.

(114,018 posts)and I totally agree!
There is a special type of hell for a brutal sadist like her and while female myself, I will say that I find it even more offensive that as a woman, she is using this behavior and sociopathy to somehow underscore her "toughness."
Her KARMA is past due, but it will come.

(11,184 posts)And, he is probably aware of the... animosity... that the rethugs have engendered towards themselves.
He is just covering his ass and trying to seem like a 'decent human being', since he will now have to live among them.
But, good on him for the attack.

(2,850 posts)I don't agree with a good part of what Tillis said, but he is at least trying to get to the important public policy points. It seems like good faith on his part, and I hope Dems can build on that. Obviously we all agree that the drug cartels are a problem. And if Tillis has better ideas than Biden/Mayorkas had -- that's a big "if" -- then we should see where we might agree.
BUT ... we can't do anything with people like Bondi, Patel, Noem in charge. Those 3 need to go immediately.

(80,659 posts)Wise presidents, such as Obama and Biden, surrounded themselves with experts in their respective fields.
Convict has surrounded himself with thugs it seems he has pulled out of a sewer. Perhaps old Eps pedo pals?
At any rate, I'm willing to listen to any reasonable ideas, but when the rethugs go off into their self-sanctimonious religious bs or racism, etc., I'm done with them.

Was also surprised by Sen. Cornpone (Kennedy, LA) who started out sounding friendly, the turned on her over her extravagant spending on jets and publicity for herself. He was savage.

(23,098 posts)What she did by shooting her dog and then bragging about it as an example of a hard choice- is almost Hitlerian.
Wednesdays
(22,650 posts)Noem at least gave a "reason" (cough cough) for shooting the puppy. As for the goat, its crime was merely being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

(595 posts)When her book came out, Donald Trump Jr remarked, "How much does your ghost writer have to hate you that they include a story of you killing a dog?"
Kristi Noem's now adult daughter (who was a child when her dog was killed) has never spoken about this. She has a state job that her mother got her and so apparently has been told to STFU.

I don't agree with what he said about the Biden administration, but he is spot-on when it comes to Kristi.
