In case you're wondering, the man that helped Hulkamania destroy Gawker Media, Peter Thiel is openly gay, after the now defunct Gawker Media outed him in 2007. Peter Thiel will work with, OMG, the homophobic bigot himself, Vice President Elect Mike Pence :o

Tech mogul Peter Thiel has joined President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team, the campaign said in a release Friday.

Two sources told Bloomberg that the PayPal co-founder’s responsibilities will include vetting presidential appointments and helping to decide which campaign proposals Trump should prioritize.

Thiel was an outspoken supporter of Trump throughout the campaign and spoke on his behalf at the Republican National Convention in July.

On Friday, the Trump campaign released the full lineup of his reshaped transition team, led by Vice President-elect Mike Pence.

How could this be? I thought Donald Trump is a homophobe?! Isn't Pence going to try to convert him straight? Maybe they're plotting to kill him.

Good, a republican law maker can finally have the convenience of getting some in his office instead of having to sneak out to a public restroom. What did i tell you guys, things just keep looking up. Lulz.

Seriously though with the stigma removed from the party people are going to be much happier.

@FireEmblem_Man: I would have welcomed his role even though he is a rich dude, but that was until Trump appointed anti gay Bannon and Priebus. Now i question the special interests of hiring Thiel. Not one hire have i liked from Trump. Extremely disappointing for someone who was suppose to drain the swamp, yet seems to have filled it back up and opened gator season.

Well I'm sure Pence has some plans for kinky electro shock treatments when the guy isn't looking.

Peter Thiel is against news sites and reporting. Perfect person to eliminate free expression in the US.

No, he was only against Gawker media, which was the most dishonest media source of the internet! So nothing was lost when Gawker went bankrupt.

I think you are giving way too much credit to Gawker by calling them journalists.

How do you personally feel about homosexuals? Do you respect their rights and do the votes you cast represent that? Most politicians will go which ever way the wind blows and don't really give a damn. They will work with whoever they think will benefit them. I'm sure Pence wants nothing but a strictly professional relationship with him.

Gawker editors aren't even journalist, they were the lowest form of TMZ in the web, cared little about journalistic integrity.

My girlfriend is homosexual so I guess you could say I'm biased LOL

I agree that Pence is just doing his job - honestly doesn't strike me as a guy who's been lying in wait to strike down gay rights.

Peter Thiel helped the victim of revenge porn sue the company distributing it after they ignored a judge's order to take it down. Do you commonly equate revenge porn and news/reporting..? They are different things.

Yes, this is the account I go on after I have a few to drink. All the vocal Trump haters actually just love Trump. Sort of like how all vocal homophobes actually want shlong. Always works that way.

I want to see Milo Yannapoulis as press secretary, that would be highly entertaining.

Wolf Blitzer : What is President Trump's position on Iran?

Milo : I imagine his position is doggystyle, I mean I've taken more Persian schlong than the Kardashians, it's about time they reciprocated by bending over.

Bullshit.

Trump has been hiring those closest to him and those that risked aiding him during his presidential bid. They saw an opportunity to ally themselves with a shallow and narcissistic man, now they are being put in positions of extreme import.

For instance that fool Myron Ebell who is going to be the head of the EPA. An unqualified ideologue who is in a position to inflict great harm on this country and our planet.
