Trump To Replace VA Secretary David Shulkin

[NoleATL]

No idea if the White House physician, Navy Adm. Ronny L. Jackson has any experience running large organizations to know whether he's a good pick or not. Perhaps just being an Admiral gives you that experience?

Apparently we now know what the going rate is to tell the country the president is super healthy.

Shulkin did a bunch of sketchy stuff, but he did have the appropriate background. The Secretary really needs experience running large hospital systems. Shinseki was a great example that this isn’t a learn on the job position.

Why can't this country save a few bucks and just let Jared do it.

What are the odds that Trump still weighs 239 lbs next physical? Unless DonnyBoy can find another physician to lie for him.

It especially great timing since he made upper-half last week, which will really juice his pension. How lucky for him.

So what kind of conduct did they find on one of the best people?

The continuing question is did Trump bother to check Jackson out before, or after he threw his name into the ring? When a guy like Jerry Moran openly expresses reservations the rumors must be hot. Incompetence, or even a general lack of understanding of the job have not been too high of a hurdle for Republicans to pass through other Trump nominees.

Damn, I was waiting for his confirmation hearings to see what he said, under oath, to questions about if he fudged the numbers on the Presidents height and weight.

Or if he was drunk at the press conference

6'3 and 239 all day long.

How much drinking is "too much" drinking on the job?

Thank you,... I was about to ask that question.

It’s a fine line.

Anything past pissing your pants, and unable to work the elevator to get to the parking garage is too much.

Trump said today, “If I were him I’d drop out”.
Let that sink in for a few minutes.

You would think it would make Trump question the decision making process of the person who nominated him.

The decision maker was perfect. The candidate wasn’t very good.
Jackson looked the part on TV, and he flattered the boss. For that he was nominated to run the second biggest agency in the US government.

I just did.

Ended up doing one of those facepalms where you rub your eyes with your thumb and index finger. I had stop when the aforementioned digits began to push toward the back of my eye sockets and into my brain.

Holy crap!! Watching Maddow tonight, there are a lot of reports of Jackson being drunk while on duty. Jon Tester was on NPR reciting some of the stories.
It isn’t about Trump nominating him anymore, how was he on the job still? This goes back to the Obama Administration.
