Summary
Donald Trump’s transition team has bypassed standard FBI background checks for key cabinet nominees, relying instead on private investigators, as reported by CNN.
This breaks decades-old norms meant to vet candidates for criminal history and conflicts of interest.
Controversial appointees include Matt Gaetz (attorney general), Tulsi Gabbard (director of national intelligence), and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (health secretary), all facing scrutiny for past investigations, pro-Russian views, or personal admissions.
Critics argue Trump seeks to undermine traditional vetting, with potential security risks tied to bypassing these checks.
Not to defend those nutjobs but ‘religion’ (aka cults that reached critical mass) are far more dangerous, whether Catholicism or mainstream US Protestantism.
Not at all true. These are cultists who would happily march queer people into gas chambers and don’t make a secret about it.
This is a Nazi cult. This is super fucking dangerous.
Dude there are certainly more Americans that would happily march queer people into gas chambers and don’t make a secret about it while being Christian.
There already are “conversion” camps run by Christians for queer children. They are horrendous.
Were hatred against queer people not normalized by Christianity her cult would be unable to use her to persecute them.
Also, some Christian denominations are not troubled by someone being a Nazi.
Okay? And plenty of Christians are not like that at all. And I say that as a life-long atheist.
This is like saying the KKK isn’t extra dangerous because lots of non-Klan members are just as racist.
You’re really missing the point here.
Also, you don’t have to tell me about conversion therapy camps. We’re getting my daughter out of this country specifically because Trump selects people in dangerous bigoted cults to be in his cabinet.
But sure, she’s not dangerous at all. Not compared to 10 out of 10 Christians, all of whom hate queer people, including the Christians who are themselves queer.
