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.
This is a running commentary on contemporary social, political and religious issues.
