    It is not my assumption that Jackson, based on his professional experience, is not qualified to run the VA but rather was chosen by Drumpf because he likes him. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/ronny-jackson-considering-withdraw-va-nominee
    It is not my assumption that his personal pilot was put on the short list to take over the FAA. It isn't my assumption that the Groper-in-Chief's son-in-law was put in charge of reorganizing the government, ME peace, etc..............https://thinkprogress.org/7-jobs-ja...d/...........because.........well.......Jared is his son-in-law.

    Someone is watching too many political propaganda shows masquerading as news, but it isn't me.

    And you are attacking this guy without a single verifiable claim? THAT is the knee jerk side.

    Jackson has been cleared by all the top agencies, FBI included. Many time, over many years. It's one thing for congress to question his experience for the particular job, they are supposed to do that. The problem here is the left's typical hate attack- a crude, juvenile tactic of ignorance, devoid of character and respect for either people or process. While the delinquents that revel in such behavior take pride in doing so, real adults are ashamed that people we have to call Americans are that pathetic in character.

    But it's no longer a point, he has chosen to withdraw rather than tolerate the dung-flingers trying to make a circus at every opportunity.
    I can't blame him for saying in effect, "I don't need to tolerate this crap", but I also hate to see such a person driven away without fair hearing by trash-talking jackasses.

    Now if you choose to be one of those, that is your choice.

    Republicans, including senior White House advisors and senators, were expressing serious reservations concerning Jackson's qualifications before multiple associates in the military and in government brought numerous allegation of professional misconduct to public attention.

    Hyper-partisan hysteria is singularly misplaced in such a matter in which politics is of negligible significance.

    Trump's impulse nomination had not been given appropriate vetting, and lashing out in a knee-jerk response at the perpetual bête noire "left!" is singularly silly.

    Jackson joins the long line of individuals who have been seriously diminished or destroyed by their being subsumed into trumpery.

    There are over 20 unverified claims, which is why the administration should have vetted him. Then you can either dismiss or verify them.

    I would have liked to see his hearing though, if only to compell him to give us Trump's height and weight under oath.

    No? I think you are watching and knowing it's propaganda and feeding on it anyway. That garbage tells idiots they are smart to believe in it, and they like that more than they like accepting reality.

    So- If you were a person in charge of a vast operation, requiring you to build a team of departments heads-
    Would you choose people you didn't have any experience with, on the basis of somebody elses opinion- or would you look to those whose competence and character you had experience with?

    Would you let the opinion and comments of people like Lee Atwater on some remote forum, dictate what you do to avoid their displeasure?
    OR WOULD YOU TRY TO PUT TOGETHER A TEAM OF PEOPLE THAT YOU WERE CONFIDENT COULD GET THE JOB DONE?

    I guess that would depend. I suspect you would hire anyone who told you what you wanted to hear, regardless of what they had done or accomplished in the past.

    One of the major failures of the left is to assume that any idea or perception they see as valid IS valid, when in fact they have no real experience with it at all.
    Childish. Immature. Ignorant of reality. Total amateur logic demanding that those responsible for results do do the job the stupid way, because that is their way.
    It is also the reason those people are not in the positions they criticize- they are neither qualified nor could cut it.
    If you can't cut it, you aren't qualified to criticize.

    Now you're starting to make some sense. The person selected should be the most qualified for the job, not selected because they 'like' the president. That shouldn't factor in at all. The problem is that trump has such an offensive personality that no one with any type of qualifications will work for him because they're afraid that working for trump will destroy their credibility.

    He wasn't qualified for the job on a professional, and now as it turns out, a personal basis. Deal with it.

    You have to ask yourself how he became an Admiral. He was a Navy Captain until he stood before a microphone and lied to the public about the outstanding health of the president. That was when trump rewarded him for being a good puppet by promoting him to Admiral. Typical trump move.

    So the reports on record from Obama, the FBI on several instances and many others over many years with consistently high praise for Jackson are suddenly not existent-
    and while NONE of these new allegations are older than the nomination, people take them as gospel. The guy isn't someone who hasn't been vetted, just not with the parameters for the office he was nominated for. The congress has every right to handle it. Why not allow them to do their job?
    Because that would not insure he can't get the job. There are people who would do anything, regardless of morality or legality, to make the president's job impossible.
    As is already proven- many of those people are in the political system- FBI, and White House staff included. Such people seem to have no problem with ignoring integrity to do the dirty work. Let them come forward and testify at the congressional hearings- put themselves at risk of perjury, instead of whispering hear-say dirt to reporters for the lefties to inhale like it was cocaine.

    More and more "Americans" are making us ashamed or them. And it isn't Jackson.

    Of course it's not enough.
    Enough is only enough if you have the approval of some jerk on a forum somewhere that likely has no idea how to manage a hot dog stand.
    Why don't you write congress and explain it to them.

    Or better yet, actually start something that requires genuine management and show the world how brilliantly you do the job.

    Obama didn't promote him to WH physician, Ronny already had the job when Obama was elected President. I have no idea of what transpired between them.

    Only in Drumpflandia can an unqualified person of dubious character who never should have been nominated be defended in this way. But such is the way it is when cultists are willing to try to defend every stupid thing Don does no matter how egregious.
