A Prescription

Can this man Trump do anything proper and nominate candidates for high office who are qualified?  The number of things for which this Cretan president could and should be impeached are legion, could fill a library and are growing every day.  The stages of my accepting this mentally unfit monstrosity as the president have morphed from maybe he will not be as bad as I thought after all he was once a Democrat to he is as bad as I feared he would be.  In fact, he is worse than I thought.  Trump is not only unfit for the office of president he is a danger to it.

Trump must be removed from office by all legal means necessary and with speed.  Republican Congressional resistance to that means they are complicit in the possible demise of democracy, our nation, the world and even the planet.  He is ignoring the corruption of those he, with the assistance of Congress, has put into positions of cabinet secretarial power who are unqualified for the positions of power they hold.  

Scott Pruitt, EPA secretary, has as Oklahoma Attorney General sued the EPA numerous times, wants to eradicated the office he holds and is undoing pollution regulations that keep our nation and its children safe.  He has cost this nation millions in abuses of power, in unusual and unnecessary expenses for personal office security and travel requirements.  Ryan Zinke, Secretary of the Interior, courts "allegations that Zinke has mixed professional and personal business, dodged campaign finance laws and generally demonstrated dubious ethics that have led watchdog groups to call for investigations for other allegedly illegal conduct such as attending political events while on duty, private plane travel, selling government property under the value of the property."  Ben Carson, HHS secretary has ordered expensive items for his office including a dining room set and hutch worth $31,000, custom-made chairs and blamed his wife for ordering them.  Trump and his cabinet are unnecessarily bilking the taxpayers of millions.

The latest of unvetted nomination of this lazy president is his nomination of the White House doctor for oversight of the VA, a huge job for which Jackson has zero experience and now there is more egregious behavior alleged.  Either other allegations of Dr. Jackson's lack of character and immoral conduct are untrue OR if they are true the fact that he has no experience running a huge organization like the VA will be the least of his problems. The further allegations against him now if true will sink his nomination.  They include his alleged disrespectful relationship with White House medical staff, heavy drinking during office hours as well as -- the worst of all those rumored accusations -- the improper writing of prescription drugs.  If true these egregious accusations would not only deep six his nomination but also leave him, in my opinion, criminally at risk!

A doctor who deals with life and death issues putting patients at risk by bad or illegal behavior is unfathomable and further, to oversee the gargantuan office of the VA for which he has zero experience is intolerable.  In the end it is the president who shows us over and over and over again just how unfit for and dangerous to the presidency and our nation he is.  The committee that oversees the nomination of Dr. Ronny Jackson for VA secretary should deny him the position not write him a prescription for it.

NOT ANYMORE
