Look, the president kind of left that up to Dr. Jackson to make that determination, Sanders said. At this point as the president said yesterday he is a great man. He hates to see him go through this process. Its part of the reason I think most Americans hate Washington. Washington has become so broken that they focus so much on destroying people they arent even talking about his qualifications to run the V.A.. theyre talking about personal character assassination.
Sanders neglected to note the solid week of commentary questioning Jacksons fitness for the position to lead the VA.
Weve seen it time and time again, she claimed. And I think that we really need to look at the way the process is handled. They did this with Director [Mike] Pompeo. Somebody, who is incredibly qualified, should have been moved forward much quicker and frankly with a lot more bipartisan support. You have one of the most uniquely qualified individuals thats coming in to take on the role of Secretary of State. Somebody who they unanimously supported in previous positions and they play political games.
I think you have to look back at how history has operated in the past, Sanders said. You had votes for people like Sen. John Kerry. When you have people that are voting for John Kerry both Republicans and Democrats yet they question Mike Pompeo there is something broken in the system. That this isnt just about President Trump but it is about political politics of the worst kind.

(7,725 posts)Poor dears. I remember ten times this for President Obama...and it was real, and undeserving. The rw thinks they own this country and can change the rules or denigrate them when it suits them. Ala..the supreme court pick...and nominations.

(15,064 posts)We DO hate how Dr. Ronny is being treated:
We hate that he was offered a job for which he is unqualified.
We hate that he was offered the job without proper vetting.
We hate that he was offered the job because he cultivated a patronage relationship with Trump.
We hate that he kept his last job despite behaving inappropriately/unethically.
And we hate that those qualities are the rule rather than an exception in the Trump administration.

he was giving out, It wasn't Opioids, as if people don't get addicted to Ambien ,as well as get addicted to the other medication he was giving out Provigil.
I work in Addiction - People talk about Opioids all the time - Many of my patients are not only addicted to Opioids. They abuse multiple substances.
I'm sorry, a doctor giving out Ambien and Provigil willy nilly- needs to be looked at.

(82,849 posts)Because I think what most Americans really hate is an administration that can't be bothered to do even the most rudimentary elements of its job in vetting the background of its nominees to find out whether or not those nominees are qualified for the job, or are stinking drunks, or who don't work and play well with others. That's a colossal waste of time and money because your administration is too bone lazy to to any actual work.

(3,268 posts)Kerry, holder of the Silver Star and multiple purple hearts won in combat had books written stating he was unfit for command while Pompeo used stolen valor to enhance his resume and now that he has been exposed all you hear are republican crickets...So Fuck off Fester-face!
