Donald Trump’s transition team has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Justice Department, paving the way for the team to seek FBI background checks on the president-elect’s appointees.

Yeah this seems meaningless given that Trump in his first term just signed executive orders giving people that didn't pass background checks security clearance(kushner for one) does anyone remember that. that happened! And I'm sure it's going to happen again... 🤬🤬🤬🤬
TTT: Ok FBI go ahead and do a complete background check on our appointees.
FBI: …uh, is there a page limit or something you want us to stop at? Do you want us to do summaries? Because…I mean, there’s going to be a lot. Like, A LOT.
Was it Churchill who stood buck naked as FDR wheeled through the door catching him out of the bath. 'Mr. President, the Prime Minister of England has nothing to hide.'
Trump already signed an executive order in his first term with Jared kushner he doesn't give a crap about passing a background check... This is all smoke and mirrors. It's so infuriating no one brings that up!!
The gallop poll you are quoting has it closer to 40% (38%). But nice try. That means nearly half. It also matters who that 38% is. And that most people who side with that 38% don't know that they are siding with the equivalent of flat earthers. CNN and the others should feel ashamed.
There's a good article from the National Center for Science Education entitled "Just How Many Young-Earth Creationists Are There in the U.S.?" that will give you a detailed overview on the polling on this subject. It's dated Nov 8, 2013. As with many polls, a lot depends on how you ask the question.
Okay so then you are referring to the Pew poll not the Gallop. There have also been polls sense then. I go out of my way to track this data. That said you seem to be missing the over all point. What is the point that I am making?
My guess is that you're trying to attack religious fundamentalists (Christians and Muslims mostly) and/or anti-science folks generally. I'm not a religious person but I thought that the data was off. According to the article that I referenced, the % of 6,000 year believers could be as low as 10%.

His ‘beautiful’ picks so far proved highly embarrassing, and it’s painfully obvious that they weren’t vetted.
🤔

TTT: Ok, if you had to sum-
FBI: Hard NO on all of them.
@cnn.com Are you for democracy or not?
But Still waiting for CNN to confront the fact that nearly half the country believes in a 6,000 year old earth.
