#ncsen: When anal orifices roar
Some people just don’t know when it’s time to shut their mouth and go away. Thom Tillis is one of those people.
He likes to tell his friends in the drive-by media that he’s not running for reelection because he’s sick of the ways of Washington. That’s funny.
He was running full-steam ahead for reelection in 2025 — fundraisers and all — until the RNC presented him with polling showing him losing by NINE POINTS to just about everybody.
So, Thommy Boy is now a bitter, angry old man. He’s getting bad haircuts, refusing to shave, and appearing on every anti-GOP network he can to badmouth Donald Trump and his team.
We caught him on a recent Politico podcast where the crap was spraying out of his mouth so fast he looked like some of that farm equipment you see in the fields along the highway.
Of course, he falls all over himself to preface his comments with the fact he was a “partner” at Price Waterhouse Coopers. Here’s what AI tells you a “partner” is at PwC:
In other words, “partners” are business consultants. The movie “Office Space” provides an excellent portrayal of just how useless those people are.
But back to Thom’s performance with Politico.
“[…] I believe Republican, conservative ideas are best for the United States. […] The Republican Party has drifted so far away from limited government, free markets, and federalism. […] ”
Yeah. He said that. I wouldn’t have believed it if the video had not been available.
At one point in the last year, senator Bernie Sanders (Socialist-Vermont) was voting to Thom’s right. Tillis has regularly been one of the most liberal members of the Senate’s GOP caucus.
Back to his General Assembly days. Thom first ran because some of his friends were angry that the conservative incumbent representing the area in the House was not bringing home enough “bacon” to the county. He bragged that he first ran for office because he wanted a bike trail built near his house. In the House as a rookie legislator, he regularly teamed with Democrats to pass alternative energy (solar, wind) mandates. You know, those policies that have forced our power bills so high.
He got to be speaker because his moneyed Charlotte pals forced him into the discussions in smoke-filled backrooms. His time as speaker was marked with harassment of conservative caucus members and efforts to replace them with RINOs.
A good chunk of The Poltiico interview featured Tillis bitching about Kristi Noem. Tillis describes Noem as “incompetent” and “lack[ing] executive insight and experience.” He tells the audience she has no significant large enterprise management experience.
Wellllllllllll — the last time I checked, Noem spent 2019-2025 as governor of the state of South Dakota. *I’d wager that South Dakota’s state government bureaucracy is larger and more complex than the NC House of Representatives AND Thom’s Senate office. But that’s just me.*
Tillis tries to tell viewers that the November elections will be a disaster because Trump employs Noem and Stephen Miller. He’s conveniently omitting the fact that he voted to confirm Noem to her current post. *What does that say about Thommy’s competence and judgement?*
Surprisingly, Tillis goes after Trump. He blasts the president for not backing all incumbents. (I seem to remember Thom recruiting a primary opponent for then-incumbent Republican congressman Madison Cawthorn.)
In Trump’s first term, Tillis went on Tucker Carlson’s Fox show to blast the concept of a wall on the southern border. To this day, he’s in the media blasting ICE’s illegal alien roundups.
Noem is not the first Trump appointee Tillis has caused problems for. He got a lot of drive-by love for working with the Democrats to screw Pete Hegseth‘s confirmation vote.
In The Politico interview, the host asks what Tillis thought about Trump referring to him and his comrade-in-backstabbing Lisa Murkowski as “losers” :
“It thrilled me. It means I’m qualified to be Homeland Security secretary and senior adviser to the president. […]”
You can’t hate this guy enough.
Meanwhile, Trump’s political operation is working overtime to shove Tillis protege (and his preferred successor) Mike Whatley down our throats as Thom’s replacement on Capitol Hill. Go figure.
