More good news from the country’s incoming clown car: Donald’s transition team has almost no relationship with science, and leans heavily on crazy fake studies to justify their anti-gay bigotry. So, this should be a fun four years.
For example, they’ve got Ken Blackwell advising the transition team on domestic policy — he’s a senior fellow at the Family Research Council, an organization notorious for making up facts and publishing junk science. There’s also Key Cole James, who is in charge of the team’s budget — they’re a former vice president of the FRC. Betsy DeVos (education) and Ken Klukowski (constitutional rights) have also been tied up with the FRC.
Various other figures have spoken at FRC events, including Reince Preibus and Mike Pompeo. And let’s not forget Mike Pence, who used his power in congress to encourage the jailing and execution of queers in other countries.
And what’s so bad about the FRC, you might ask? Well, for years now, they’ve been manipulating phony studies and fabricating results to make it look like gays die young and molest kids. Among their tactics is citing groups like The American College of Pediatricians, which sounds legitimate but is actually just a little club started by a couple of friends so that they could spout artificial data while sounding like actual researchers.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
So now these people are going to be crawling all over the White House, inserting their phony facts into actual government policy.
Deep breaths, everyone; deep breaths.

“THE SKY IS FALLING!!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!!”
This is from the same people who wrote two days ago:
“We supported the most qualified person for President in modern history. She was not a flawed candidate; she was a strong and noble candidate. She fought tirelessly for all Americans and never once let us down.”
She was not a flawed candidate? Yes, you are right, she was perfection. I like your attitude and outlook, it bodes well for the GOP.
Oh! And congrats on Nancy Pelosi today – another loser. How many more House seats are you going to lose under San Fran Nan?
Now if you could pick Rep. Keith Ellison as the new DNC Chair! His ties to radical Islam always go over well in the heartland. The heartland that you just lost.
You. Have. Learned. Nothing.

More bullshit from bigots.

@Alistair Wiseman: But Alistair, what do you think about Delta Airlines banning you for life? 🙂

@Alistair Wiseman: We have learned a lot Alistair, but mostly about idiots who spout really really stupid shit like you. What exactly makes you think a rant about what you imagine people felt about Hillary (who was in fact an experienced accomplished politician, and who =was never indicted for any of the bull the right spenmt millions and millions of our money trying to pin on her)is an intelligent or reasonable response to FACTS about the people Trump is turning to to form his policy? Are you really that dull? Do you really not know the difference between your conjecture and actual facts about the beliefs of people: verifiable through their actual words and actions?
People are laughing at you, and your foolishness is about the only amusing thing about what the future holds for women, lgbt people, the environment civil rights….
But go ahead, live in your little dream world while your idol appoints only insiders to his posts and shows he ain’t draining any swamp, but looking to be king toad. Bert his asshole doesn’t taste as good when you lick it these days.

@dwes09: That should say “BET his asshole doesn’t taste as good when you lick it these days”. But thinking about it, now that Trump’s true nature and intentions come clear to those too foolish to realize them before, perhaps he is even more eager to lick it.

Quick! Look, someone is burning a flag! Ignore all this stuff over here.
What was that quote? “I’d rather support the person burning the flag while wrapped in the Constitution than the person burning the Constitution while wrapped in a flag”?

@Alistair Wiseman: Keith Ellison doesn’t have ties to salafi jihadism; also your rant didn’t address the actual point of the article and that is: it’s true that Trump doesn’t seem to be anti-gay but he sure has placed a lot of anti-gay bigots in sensitive positions.

@dwes09: It’s a mystery what Alistair LIKES about Trump & co., if anything, because he never says. I assume he actually likes all that Republican anti-gay stuff!

@dwes09: But I wish Pelosi had lost to Tim Ryan – or retired to the spa for some more facelifts.

Alistair’s hanging out at his temple today, so do not expect a comment from him until after he’s done worshiping the Angel Moroni.
