President Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs withdrew his name from consideration this week after a number of serious allegations were raised about his stewardship as White House physician, including that he drank on the job.

...

Washington, D.C., has the highest rates of binge and problem drinking in America.

I didn't pay much attention to the Jackson controversy so I didn't know he supposedly drank at work.

So nobody, including the secret service, noticed that the man who would take care of the President Of the United States drank on the job? How dumb would you have to be to believe that?

[dynachrome]

75% of CON-gress does. (my estimate)

[McGavin999]

BTW that was Bush, Obama and Trump. Surely someone would have noticed

[gov_bean_ counter]

So serious that nobody ever reported it to anyone. Not believable.

I didn't know he supposedly drank at work.

Neither, it seems, did anyone else, including three presidents, two of whom were teetotalers.

[Verginius Rufus]

Ambiguous headline.

George Washington was not a heavy drinker compared to most Americans of his time.

Jon Tester is a big fat liar!

Washington, D.C is loaded with lecherous scumbags who have preyed upon young interns and staff members for decades and even have a tax payer's fund to protect them. Is their affliction of drunkenness an excuse for their behavior?

"Jon Tester is a big fat liar!"

Hopefully an unemployed one in January 2019.

***********************************************
“serious allegations”? Yep, as Rush Limbaugh always points out, according to ‘RATS it doesn’t matter if something is true ... it’s the “seriousness of the allegations”.

Wyoming’s ‘RAT Senator Tester is a piece of human excrement for his practice of character assassination against honorable people. He deserves to be thrown out of office in this November’s election.

Tester is a Montana Senator.

Does he need AA?

I live in the beautiful town named Charlevoix, located on northern Lake Michigan in the northwest part of the Mitten. It is the absolute finest fresh-water harbor on the Great Lakes. I am also a certified Marine Mechanic and have been on since 1982. We go boating almost daily in the summer, and frequentlty raft with numerous other boats in secluded bays and parts of Lake Charlevoix. I am proud to say that one of our Town’s Mottos is:”Charlevoix; We are a Drinking Town with a Boating Problem.”

[House Atreides]

You’re right, sorry. The good citizens of Montana will be the ones who need to throw the despicable ‘RAT Tester out of office this November.

Liquor and leadership don’t mix. Proverbs 31.

I didn't pay much attention to the Jackson controversy so I didn't know he supposedly drank at work.

He didn't. John "Back Fence Gossip" Tester committed slander with malice.

Anything that comes out of the mouth of a democrat should be considered a lie until proven otherwise with empirical evidence.

Democrats lie.

Always.

Shamelessly.

To your face.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Does he need AA?

Yes, batteries.

Two of them.

In a taser.

And he should apply it to Tester until the batteries die.

There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
