President Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs has withdrawn his nomination amid allegations of workplace misconduct and prescription mispractice.

The withdrawal of Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson followed a decision by the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee to indefinitely postpone his confirmation hearing.

Staffers on the committee were looking into charges against Jackson of creating a "hostile work environment" including "excessive drinking on the job [and] improperly dispensing meds.”

Dear God but I despise those two jackasses.

Nothing about this when Jackson served under Bush and Obama, but under Trump, he is awful beyond belief. This is another message to anyone who even thinks about working for Trump in a high level position that they will be attacked relentlessly and destroyed, if possible. This is war and the Administration needs to make sure their are casualties on the #resist side, as well.

The swamp said ‘No”.

Trump needs a bada$$ butt kicker in that job. Someone who’d charge Hell with a bucket of water if it would get superior care for our troops.

And someone who’d tell the swamp and enemedia to go pound sand.

Let us know when that happens.

"excessive drinking on the job

Isn't drinking on the job bad enough?

including "excessive drinking on the job [and] improperly dispensing meds."

Sounds like practically every Navy doctor and Corpsman I know...

[Doofer]

The thing is Trump has to know by now that the Left will go after these nominees big time. He needs to nominate people that are bulletproof. I have to believe he's either a poor judge of character or he's getting really bad advise.

[Truth29]

"Let us know when that happens."

Yes, that is a problem isn't it? There is no fear of Trump domestically. All shots are free shots. There need to be bodies piling up in the East River, figuratively, of course. Trump needs to be feared and he is not.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

What a vile bastard.
