“This would be putting an arsonist in charge of the fire department.”

President Trump is expected to nominate Penny Nance, an anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion, and anti-feminist activist, to be the “Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues,” a position created under President Obama.

Since 2010, Nance has led the Concerned Women for America (CWA), a Christian social policy organization that has been listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-LGBTQ hate group. She doesn’t believe that efforts to restrict health coverage for women are part of a “war on women,” but she used that term to describe the Violence Against Women Act. And she claims that legal abortion is worse than the Holocaust.

Planned Parenthood slammed the choice this weekend, with executive vice president Dawn Laguens saying the nomination “would be [like] putting an arsonist in charge of the fire department.” According to Laguens, CWA called the Office of Global Women’s Issues, which Nance would oversee, a “wasteful and unnecessary idea.”

Indeed, Nance seems more concerned about men. In 2015, she infamously took to Fox News to attack the Disney film Frozen (which had already been available on DVD for nearly a year) for framing men only as villains and fools. “We want to raise heroes,” she said. “We want to raise real men who will stick in their families and be great dads and great providers and great husbands” — as if there were no films portraying men as virtuous. She said it was great that films like Frozen empower women, but it shouldn’t come “at the cost of tearing down men.” Nance ended the interview insisting, “We want to encourage masculinity and not villainize masculinity. We’re Concerned Women for America and we’re the women’s group who love men — real men.”............................

7. Remember when the Susan Sarandon types said that Clinton and Trump were interchangeable?

I remain convinced that anyone who said that should voluntarily lock themself in a bunker and never come out again.

[Paladin]

14. I'll never forget it.

And I would be overjoyed if Sarandon never showed her face again.

entertainment!

[niyad]

9. has dolt45* appointed ONE person to ONE office who is actually qualified? does he KNOW such people?

[jmowreader]

27. The closest you're going to get are Rick Perry, Steven Mnuchin and Elaine Chao

As governor of an oil-producing state, Perry knows a lot about oil and Chao was undersecretary of Transportation. Mnuchin you know about.

Trump has people with expertise in various Cabinet fields, but they're not in the right jobs.

Tillerson? He ran the biggest oil company on the planet. Perfect qualification for being Secretary of Energy.
Perry has a degree in Animal Science. Secretary of Agriculture?
Ben Carson is a famous physician. Either HHS or Surgeon General would have been the right job.
Betsy DeVos' money cones from Amway. If she had to be on the Cabinet at all, Commerce would have been the place.

Trump seems to be operating on a "is this person going to piss off enough people?" selection model.

[IronLionZion]

10. Walter White for head of the DEA

Dingos for babysitting

Sharks for lifeguard

[Liberalagogo]

11. Self-loathers will be the death of us all.

They are a cancer upon humanity

[Scalded Nun]

12. He is basically Caligula reborn

He is getting way too much pleasure out of harming this country and its citizens.

Once he's out of the WH they will have to close it off for at least a month just for fumigating.

[vlyons]

13. Does he wake up in the morning and ask, "What can I do to tarnish the Obama legacy even more?

What can I do to really piss off more liberals? How can I hurt more people?

[BigmanPigman]

15. Too bad Phyllis Schafly died recently.

she would have been a great chioce.

[onenote]

17. I'm surprised that stopped him.

[MountCleaners]

41. LOL! When I clicked on this thread, I thought...

...it must be Phyllis Schlafly's corpse! Nothing would surprise me.

[They_Live]

39. She did?

missed it.

[BigmanPigman]

40. Yes, Sept 2016...92 years old.

The really evil ones somehow thrive on venom.

[They_Live]

[MyOwnPeace]

21. BINGO - the TRIFECTA!!!!!!

Betsy DeVos - hates public schools - Secretary of Education
Scott Pruitt - anti-environment crusader - Head Administrator of EPA

and NOW.............................................

[muriel_volestrangler]

22. This is how you troll an entire country

Trump's support is falling so much that he has to kiss the arse of the Dominionists with a gigantic "Fuck You" to women everywhere.

I hope someone tries to get a comment from Ivanka. It's time she had to own up to the vile misogynistic company she keeps, with picks like this.

[truthisfreedom]

23. +1000000

[Ligyron]

24. They work so hard to find the absolute worst candidates for position in gov.

[TeamPooka]

25. Doing what Putin tells him to do: Destroy all American norms and values.

[Botany]

26. Trump is doing Putin's work where the end goal is the destruction of America from within.

We are dealing with the largest international crime syndicate in the history
of the world. A head of the Dept. of Education who knows nothing about
teaching or schools, a head of the Dept. of Energy who doesn't know about
science, a fossil fuels person for the EPA, a Sec. of Commerce who was an
executive for a money laundering bank aka the bank of Cyprus, and so on
and on. All these acts are not by accident.

[FarPoint]

28. I need a shower now...

Ohhh the stench from these White House is unbearable.

[3catwoman3]

29. Flashbacks to James Watt...

...from the Reagan administration.

[SpankMe]

30. Michael Moore for admin of the BATF.

Jane Fonda for SecDef.

Snoop Dog to run DEA.

Pope Francis for Fed Chairman.

Wrong-way Feldman (from Gilligan's Island) as Sec of the Air Force.

Richard Dawkins to head the Office of Faith-based Initiatives.

Who else can we come up with for a new Democratic administration?

[rurallib]

33. I don't know about that, but I always thought the Ayatollah Khomeini would make a great pope

[Pope George Ringo II]

31. The trick is managing expectations

I was expecting Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein. I'm not nearly as disappointed as some here.

[procon]

32. Remember when Bush appointed a veterinarian as Head of the Office of Women's Health?

Why do Republicans hate women so much?

[world wide wally]

34. Everything he does is designed to be antagonistic

He strives for discord in America.

Putin's orders!

[Angry Dragon]

35. she is just anti-women

[Sunlei]

36. Republicans push Hate groups in our government positions. They're responsible for their dotards act

[C Moon]

37. Trump's mocking the position because Obama created it.

I wonder how that foolish Penny Nance feels: she was only put there as a joke.

[SergeStorms]

38. Of course. Who better?

Trump is the biggest asshole on a planet comprised of 60% assholes. KING ASSHOLE, DONALD TRUMP.

The arrogance and stupidity of that man just never ends.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

42. Expected because this is Trump we are talking about here. Everything must be ass backwards with him
