Tim Kaine, D-Va., was one of the seven Senate Democrats who voted on Saturday to confirm the dog-killing, COVID-denying Kristi Noem to serve as the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Still waiting to hear from Kaine as to why he joined the 59-34, largely Republican majority to confirm Noem as the point person for Donald Trump’s immigrant purge and effort to eliminate FEMA.

He would seem to sorta owe us an explanation, just to get that on the record.
Noem was plucked from South Dakota, where she is a former congresswoman and governor, who rose to whatever level of the rest of us giving a crap when she took a brave stand against forcing her state to observe social distancing and mask mandates during the COVID pandemic.
We also learned more than we wanted to know about her from a poorly-timed autobiography released last year that included an anecdote about her shooting her 14-month-old puppy, Cricket, after deeming the pup “untrainable.”

Sorry if this is too harsh, but there’s a special place in hell for people who would shoot a dog.
But then, that probably qualifies her well to lead the Department of Homeland Security, with Trump unleashing ICE on elementary-school kids, construction and maintenance crews and innocent people who are here because they’ve been granted political asylum, who Trump thinks are escapees from a mental ward, because he’s that frighteningly obtuse.
Trump also talked this week, as he visited disaster zones in North Carolina and Southern California, about his desire to dismantle FEMA, because he can’t imagine a scene of utter devastation that he can’t go out of his way to make worse.
