I think we’ll have somebody great. Somebody that is
more — look, the admiral is not a politician, which is what I liked. …
Somebody with political capability, yes.”
So many things wrong with that statement. That just what the nation needs to head the VA–their first qualification being that they are politically capable.
A bit OT, but…
Donnie wished his wife a happy birthday early in the call, which prompted the question about what gift he gave her. His response;
“I better not get into that because I may get in trouble," he said. “Maybe I didn’t get her so much. I got her a beautiful card, you know I’m very busy to be running out looking for presents. I got her a beautiful card and some beautiful flowers. And she did a fantastic job with France. The people of France were just spellbound by their great president who just left. Emmanuel.”
Wow. Just. Wow.
I was taking bets as to when the conversation would turn into, It’s all about me" and “I won here” and anything related to Hillary Clinton. 17 months later and he is still obsessed with the woman…
Some of the Teabaggers in the House are doctors, IIRC ? He probably has one of them in mind (He dares not touch the senate, the margin is too small there ).
At this point, the GOP is absolutely, positively, 1000 percent responsible for Trump and his consequences to the country. The man is a moron - every GOP Congressperson knows it. And they’re fine with it. Watching “The Looming Tower” on Hulu made me afraid all over again at what we’ve got in the White House if a real disaster occurs.
We’ll see who the next VA nominee will be very, very soon. And he will be great, believe me. Very soon, maybe in two weeks.
I think Yoho. He’s a cow doctor but hey, it’s still medicine. He’s also a major wingnut twit, quadrupling down on defaulting or whatever lunacy is on offer that day. And you know without bothering to look he comes from a safe district.
ETA I do not seriously think Yoho.
the Sec of Energy knows about animal husbandry (almost like at hospital !) and is policitally experienced, … could be him !
You could probably figure who the next VA nominee is going to be by finding out what worthless piece of shit has most recently kissed his ass.
None of this would have happened if this administration had vetted Jackson thoroughly. Instead this nomination hinged on the glowing bullshit physical the doctor gave trump.
This administration is so inept. This should have been a fairly easy process but they even mucked this up. The guy was not qualified to run the VA but as long as you suck up to trump silly stuff like experience and leadership doesnt matter.
And FOX and Friends (to Republicans) gives this guy a platform to spread this bullshit? If this were Obama they would be questioning his judgement, especially after he’s still defending this pick!
Donald can’t appoint Rudy to every job opening, can he?
Damn that Jon Tester for bringing forward credible allegations before another nimrod fills a cabinet post he’s unqualified for. That aside, I notice that Donnie pays attention to about a fourth of the controversy on any given issue and then takes (what he considers) the salient words and then weaves them into a talking point that doesn’t make sense…and then repeats it a few times to see if it works in his mouth.
The mantle of the problem.
Oh, c’mon, Matt. Have the courage of their convictions.
And the smart-guy glasses! Got to have the look if you want to work for Trumpie, it’s very important.
OT, Hell hath no fury as a Dotard scorned . . .
Please, he’s no Rick Perry.
Rumor has it that he’s been caught at it more than once.
“I saw where this was going,” he said.
Problem is, you didn’t see it coming! That’s a real problem.
Like the “Glowing Bullshit” ha ha ha ha
