I’ve read and listened to enough of her spew (more fool me) and enough about her to form the opinion that she is mean as a snake (mainly to women) and revels in it. She calls it being tough and no-nonsense - I call it being a thoroughly nasty “rhymes with rich.” I too can’t believe anyone calls this harpy for any kind of advice or counsel.
Yes, she's tough. Sometimes I think she is too tough, but the vast majority of the time, she is spot on.
People almost always know what they should do - they just don't want to do it. She calls them on that.
Perhaps you'd call that sadistic. I don't.
but, I bet this is a fake, and I for one can forgive her for past indescretions.....
