Tiberius Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 IG report on Jackson is pretty bad. Accusations of being drunk on the job and toxic work environment. WH seems like they are trying to get him to withdraw his acceptance. Why would anyone work for this WH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Did he also visit "pizza" places? Quote The top Democrat on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee on Tuesday detailed the allegations of misconduct against Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, the president’s pick to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, a list that includes drinking on the job and improperly prescribing medications. Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) told NPR that the allegations against Jackson were not made by lawmakers but were instead unearthed by members of the military who work with the Navy doctor. More than 20 military employees have shared the allegations with senators, Tester said. “We were told stories where he was repeatedly drunk while on duty where his main job was to take care of the most powerful man in the world,” Tester said of Jackson, who has served as the presidential physician to Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama. “That’s not acceptable.” Jackson is also accused of handing out prescription sleeping medication on long flights that crossed multiple time zones. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/04/25/ronny-jackson-allegations-550155 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 This is an admission of corruption, right? Don't worry Conservatives, I don't expect an answer The Post reports: Mick Mulvaney, interim head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, told banking executives Tuesday that as a South Carolina congressman he always met with constituents. But he never met with out-of-town lobbyists, he said, unless they gave him campaign money — explaining why the bankers should push their agenda on Capitol Hill. “We had a hierarchy in my office in Congress,” said Mulvaney, who was a leading conservative in the House until President Trump tapped him as his budget director, a job he still holds. “If you were a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didn’t talk to you. If you were a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Ha ha!! Jackson got drunk and wrecked a government vehicle! The guy should have just stayed on the job he had. Impossible not to get smeared with crap if you try and work for Trump. Quote White House physician Ronny L. Jackson, President Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, wrecked a government vehicle after getting drunk at a Secret Service going away party, according to an explosive list of allegations released Wednesday by the Democratic staff of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee. In the two-page summary of interviews conducted by the minority staff, Jackson also stands accused of a “pattern” of handing out medications with no patient history, prescribing medications to himself, and contributing to a hostile work environment with “a constant fear of reprisal.” According to the report: “Jackson was described as ‘the most unethical person I have ever worked with,’ ‘flat-out unethical,’ ‘explosive,’ ‘100 percent bad temper,’ ‘toxic,’ ‘abusive,’ ‘volatile,’ ‘incapable of not losing his temper,’ ‘the worst officer I have ever served with,’ ‘despicable,’ ‘dishonest,’ as having ‘screaming tantrums’ and “screaming fits,’ as someone who would ‘lose his mind over small things,’ ‘vindictive,’ ‘belittling,’ ‘the worse leader I’ve ever worked for.’” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/va-nominee-faces-explosive-new-allegations-of-drinking-wrecking-government-vehicle/2018/04/25/d1a8e0b2-48c4-11e8-8b5a-3b1697adcc2a_story.html?utm_term=.5006e9c998ea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Pay to play! Quote And Republicans certainly haven’t built up credibility in exercising serious oversight. Joe Scarborough: “If you combine what [Mick] Mulvaney said with what’s happening at the EPA, what’s happening across the entire administration, this is a corrupt administration. The president talked about draining the swamp. This administration is the swamp. You can’t find — in recent American political history — another administration that has been as as ethically challenged as this one.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's the Congressional leaders that actually know something about the VA pick a person who knows what they are doing, not a drunken idiot who sucks up to Trump.
