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 Womens 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 doesnt 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 Womens 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 shouldnt come at the cost of tearing down men. Nance ended the interview insisting, We want to encourage masculinity and not villainize masculinity. Were Concerned Women for America and were the womens group who love men real men.............................

(50,601 posts)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.

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.

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.
