So Trump is giving Admiral Ronny Jackson, MD

[TNNurse]

the job of VA Secretary. I guess it pays to lie about Trump's physical condition.

1. It's amazing how many people are willing to prostitute themselves

for a job in this administration - especially since just about everybody who works for Trump ends up worse off on account of it. All you have to do is say that a guy who is obviously pushing 300 lbs. weighs only 239, 1 lb. less than the obesity threshold, and *Bingo* you've got a cabinet position.

2. There was some talk about a Fox & Friends weekend guy getting it

Hegseth I think. Read about it a few weeks ago.

3. His doctor?

[TNNurse]

4. Yep, you know the one who gave him a physical and lied through his teeth about the results.

[Gothmog]

5. Yep

[spanone]

6. quid pro quo?

[malaise]

7. for 235 pounds of lies

[Ilsa]

8. And IQ45 has a BMI of 29.99999. But he's not obese! nt

[malaise]

9. This administration is a 100% KAKISTOCRACY

Period!

[kentuck]

10. I hope he is competent... Veterans don't take kindly being screwed.

The VA is a huge bureaucracy.

[madinmaryland]

11. I am assuming he is a competent doctor (he did give Obama his physicals, IIRC),

but whether that will make him a competent leader of the VA is a whole nother question.

12. Why would President Obama appoint a doctor who lies about medical matters?

Especially appoint him to the position of White House doctor?
