WTF actually happened to Dr. Ronny Jackson?

The Daily Mail is running an article about how he’s saying President Biden barely made it through his press conference, and he’s not fit to be POTUS. This is the same guy who proclaimed trump* to be a shining specimen of a human who could live far beyond what anyone has, to date.

President Obama sang his praises, as did GW Bush. So, is Jackson just a political chameleon, a bold faced opportunist who has tossed his loyalty in the wrong direction or just another example of everything trump* touches turns to sludge. And I know about his reputation for being a loud mouthed bully. I hate to say it, but based on personal experience, that doesn't surprise me. I don’t have a very high opinion of Navy medicine. I knew and worked with LOTS of great dentists but I never had a really good experience with a Navy doc. (I’m going to include the link to the article, should anyone be interested in reading it. I got about 2 sentences in and shut the page.)

(CNN)The Department of Defense inspector general has issued a scathing review of Rep. Ronny Jackson during his time serving as the top White House physician, concluding that he made "sexual and denigrating" comments about a female subordinate, violated the policy for drinking alcohol while on a presidential trip and took prescription-strength sleeping medication that prompted concerns from his colleagues about his ability to provide proper care.

You don’t suddenly become like this. My guess is that he’s been an asshole for decades and was simply better at hiding it before.

Their reality quite literally depends on Biden being completely senile and incompetent. This is why they are absolutely convinced that nobody voted for him and the election was stolen. If this isn’t true, the whole fantasy would come crashing down.

The really weird thing is that these people often seem completely normal and competent as long as they aren’t talking about Trump-related things. Once they start, you realize they are completely loony tunes.

They are cultists.
