I'm sick to my stomach reading about Obamagate this morning

Now they have an ex-WH doctor, retired Navy some such perversion of morals man, tooting for the Impeached45. And they are pushing this false narrative with as many GOP backing as possible, ignoring the fact the Flynn pleaded guilty.

The Magats will only see the visual of this guy wearing a uniform. The Magats will only hear that Obama started some investigation of Flynn. They don't care what else. And to top it off Joe Rogan, a previous Sanders supporter, says he prefers to vote for Trump instead of Biden because Sanders lost?

What has this world come to?

Edited to fix grammar.

It’s been at least 5 years. To borrow a phrase from Barbara Bush, why would I trouble my beautiful mind over those fucks?

4. Ronny Jackson (aka The Candy Man)

WASHINGTON — Current and former colleagues of Navy Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson have told Senate investigators that Jackson repeatedly drank on duty, has an “explosive” temper and garnered the nickname “candy man” among White House staff because of his prolific prescription practices.

At a Secret Service going away party, investigators reported, Jackson allegedly got drunk and "wrecked a government vehicle."

One nurse said Jackson, President Trump's nominee to be secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, also wrote himself prescriptions, and when caught, he directed his assistant to write them for him instead. He also provided a "large supply" of Percocet, an opioid medication, to a White House staffer, which sent medical staff "into a panic" when they couldn't account for the missing medication.

...

Doctors, physician assistants and nurses alleged Jackson had a pattern of handing out sleeping pills and other medication to help users wake up without taking patient histories. Doctors reported being uncomfortable with his loose prescribing practices, which included dispensing drugs to former White House staff "and, at times, their family members."

His current and former colleagues described multiple instances of Jackson getting drunk on duty. "On at least one occasion, Dr. Jackson could not be reached when needed because he was passed out drunk in his hotel room," the summary says.

hard to master, I know. Some languages, maybe Russian, might say "investigating to Flynn," whereas we say "investigation of Flynn."
