Questions are swirling about the background of President’s Donald Trump’s pick for Surgeon General and whether she has presented misleading claims about where she was educated.

6. She also has the obligatory cross on her ampleness.

Jesus would be so proud.

4. She sounds just about perfect. I had a

customer a few years ago that came from that school. She was very nice.

This person sounds like someone that will fit right into the clown car.

5. You can't take anything at face value with these people.

With a congenital liar for a boss, how can we expect anything different.

7. Is anybody qualified for anything? Legal?
