Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson has withdrawn as President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, he said in a statement Thursday morning.
His nomination was hampered by a flurry of allegations about Jackson's professional conduct.
In a statement announcing his withdrawal, Jackson slammed allegations of improper behavior leveled against him as "completely false and fabricated."
"If they had any merit, I would not have been selected, promoted and entrusted to serve in such a sensitive and important role as physician to three presidents over the past 12 years," Jackson said. "Going into this process, I expected tough questions about how to best care for our veterans, but I did not expect to have to dignify baseless and anonymous attacks on my character and integrity."
Jackson said he was motivated to withdraw from consideration because the allegations against him "have become a distraction" for Trump and his agenda.
"Unfortunately, because of how Washington works, these false allegations have become a distraction for this President and the important issue we must be addressing -- how we give the best care to our nation's heroes," Jackson said. "While I will forever be grateful for the trust and confidence President Trump has placed in me by giving me this opportunity, I am regretfully withdrawing my nomination to be Secretary for the Department of Veterans Affairs."
I'm sorry but if these allegations were "completely false and fabricated" Jackson would not pull his name out of consideration for this job.
And the excuse that all of this has become a distraction for the Trump Administration is completely ridiculous because there is a new distraction EVERY SINGLE DAY.
In fact there are so many distractions happening at the same time that they are all fighting for space on cable TV shows.
No, this is just one more example that Donald Trump simply does NOT choose the very best people.
In fact it seems as if he is drawn like a magnet to the most deeply flawed people in the country, and then tries to elevate them to positions of power and prominence.
Far more interesting is Trump's rant on Fox and Friends this AM. Admits that Cohen helped with the "crazy Stormy Daniels" thing. Also admitted that he did stay overnight in Moscow during the Miss Universe/Pee Pee Tape event. It was a total trainwreck. Dr. Jackson's story is yesterday's news.

Best news of the day:
ReplyDeleteAvenatti hinted this morning that the 1.6 million Cohen payout to Playmate for an abortion was because Donald was the daddy.
Oh that Donnie and Ronnie are quite the team. I think Ronnie may have given Donnie some drugs to sleep and wake up along with pain pills. Yep old dotard was really yapping this am. He is in deep trouble and it is not going away. Waiting on Donnie to resign. Rudy must tell him the truth...it aint good, you are in so much trouble and lawsuits that you may never get out of prison. As David Johnston mentioned...we will have to lock him up because he will continue the energize the swamp and harm everyone he can. So we need a muzzle, straight jacket, cage and drugs to silence him for his own safety and ours...the useful idiot and moron is reaching the bottom of the swamp.
DeleteHis Deplorables and Talibangelicals will tie themselves in Gordian knots to still give him a Mulligan. There is NOTHING he could do that would lose him his base.

"The book spans three literary genres:
the epistolary, the apocalyptic, and the prophetic.
It begins with John, on the island of Patmos in the Aegean, addressing a letter to the
"Seven Churches of Asia". He then describes a series of prophetic visions, including figures such as the Whore of Babylon and the Beast, culminating in the Second Coming of Jesus."

DeleteThe little man got swayed into a life of trumpism, drugs, booze, unethical behavior and lies. He needs a VA treatment and behavior health center. And betsy devos spectrum brainwashing healthcare facilities will not do.
ReplyDeleteHe fell into the giant rump hole swamp of deplorable defects. Another career and person lost to trumpism.
Glad he realized it is not normal nor acceptable to work for trump.

Delete"rump is not happy, and is now targeting Montana Senator Jon Tester, who sunk the nomination of Dr. Ronnie “Candy Man” Jackson with a memo that cited sources alleging that Jackson handed out prescription pills without proper examinations, drank on the job, and once wrecked a government car after a Secret Service going away party."
"“I don’t think this nominee was actually qualified for the job,” he said. “Dr. Ronny Jackson was not qualified to run the VA. I think that, in and of itself, deserves him to have withdrawn.”"

ReplyDeleteAttorney Michael Avenatti hints $1.6 million abortion payout was for Trump — not GOP donor https://www.rawstory.com/2018/04/attorney-michael-avenatti-hints-1-6-million-abortion-payout-trump-not-gop-donor/
So that was the paternity comment from stormy. The 1.6 million was to silence the playmate that trump got pregnant and then paid her to abort the child. Wow! trump is one messed up pos. EVERYTHING in his lying miserable life is coming back to haunt him. It wont stop until he gets out of sight and off tweeter. He really should resign, confess and take his personal problems off the radar.

ReplyDelete"Brian Ballard, viewed by some as the lobbyist closest to President Donald Trump, is working for an ally of Syria’s brutal dictator, Bashar al-Assad."
"“We also represent a group of Syrian-American doctors and others who want a Syria free of Assad, which we fully support,” Ballard added. “We’ve lobbied for that and we’ve never lobbied anything but that, and never been asked to, out of fairness to the trading company.”"

It was said that Marlon Brando would hump anything with a hole. I wonder if Trump is the same? After all, he did come from that anything goes era.
ReplyDeleteNow I say this, is because Donald gets giddy when he's around those handsome world leader like Macron and Trudeau.
Poor old Trump. He's just not getting the human touch that he desires and grabbing at the French president's hands was a respite for him since Melania wasn't having none of it.
That's why money has to be paid to touch that dotard. No one wants that.
Stoopid fucking wingnuts arer whining about Obama's guys praising Jackson.
ReplyDeleteWhat they tend to forget or just plain ignore was Obama wasn't a certified fucking pathological lying moron.Obama took care of his body.
Fuck Ron Jackson and the ship he sailed in on. What a self aggrandizing pos.

Wonder if he gets to keep that special scale he has for weighing in other fat pos.
I need that scale...
DeleteMeghan McCain on The View today - she doesn't look good in anything. She should just wear an american flag. Every day.
ReplyDelete"That’s the piece of writing I now regret."
ReplyDelete"Looking back, I don’t wonder how I could have been so wrong about the president’s doctor. What I wonder is how I could have been so confident about him. Why did I mistake my brief glimpses of a man for the full picture of his character? Why was I so convinced my positive impression was correct?
That’s the nature of sycophancy. The “kiss up, kick down” attitude that defines countless horrible bosses, especially in politics"

ReplyDelete"Paul Ryan Gave the House Chaplain a Simple Choice: Resign or Get Fired
“As you have requested, I hereby offer my resignation…”
" A Democratic lawmaker told The Hill that Ryan’s decision may have stemmed from a perception that the chaplain—whose role is strictly nonpartisan—appeared to be more sympathetic toward the Democratic party. Conroy delivered a prayer last year before a House debate about the GOP tax bill in which he urged lawmakers to “guarantee that there are not winners and losers under the new tax laws.” This was perceived by Ryan as being critical of the legislation and reportedly drew the House Speaker’s ire."
