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.
Again, I reject your “things can’t be better or worse than the bad they already are” argument. It is awful without Gabbard. It is worse with Gabbard.
Actually, and I know this because I’ve read the New Testament, Christ said nothing about queer people whatsoever.
Who he did condemn was divorced people.
Even Paul, who did condemn queer people, spent more time condemning women as a whole. And Paul was not the Christian god incarnate.
If you wish to include the Old Testament, there are so many things I could give you examples of that people do today on the regular that it talks about being worthy of death much more often than being queer. Leviticus spends far more time on what you should and shouldn’t eat than the two short lines about men having sex with each other. By the way- sex with a woman where you pull out before you finish? Also worthy of death.
The Bible is quite an interesting, if quite flawed, series of books. I suggest you read it since your understanding of Christianity is clearly quite poor and you become far more informed about the last 2000 years if you understand why people in the West were motivated by said quite flawed books to do the things they did.
