Lax vetting on Trump nominees begins to frustrate senators

WASHINGTON — As President Donald Trump's pick to lead Veterans Affairs skids to a halt, senators from both parties are voicing frustration that the White House is skipping crucial vetting of nominees and leaving lawmakers to clean up the mess.

That sentiment was evident Tuesday on Capitol Hill after senators delayed hearings for White House physician Ronny Jackson, Trump's surprise pick to head the VA. Jackson is facing questions about improper workplace behavior, and even Trump himself acknowledged that there were concerns about his nominee's experience.

"The White House still seems to be feeling its way on the nomination process," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, "and does not fully appreciate how important it is to do a thorough vetting and FBI background check on nominees."

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., said that while lawmakers want to be "deferential as much as we can" to the president's preferences for his Cabinet, "it would be nice to know some of the issues that come up after the fact before the fact."

8. "The White House still seems to be feeling its way . . ."

Thank you, Sen. Collins. When your miserable political career is at last over, perhaps you can go to work for that credit card company with the Captain Obvious character.

It's been 15 goddam months, and the White House can't help but shit on the carpet again and again. Why doesn't the congressional leadership start holding some hearings on why the White House can't do its job competently? This is a national disgrace and embarrassment. The popular media were all about chance meetings on airport tarmacs or tan suits; why can't they tell the American people that the White House is currently occupied by a bunch of inept stumblebums?
