“The substantiated allegations in the DoDIG investigation of Rear Adm (lower half) Ronny Jackson are not in keeping with the standards the Navy requires of its leaders and, as such, the Secretary of the Navy took administrative action in July 2022,” a Navy spokesperson told CBS News.

    Good enough for Obama in his 8 years in the White House…

    And Biden tapped Bush and Cheney’s old doc to come back.

    You think they were keeping a tight lid on pill bottles back then?

    The issue is the WH doctor is exempt from basically all regulations and can do whatever they want.

    It’s been abused going all the way back to at least JFK, and neither party wants to address the issue. Because they take turns benefitting from it.

    But I’d rather not have geriatrics on meth cocktails running the country.

    We could just get someone middle aged with the energy for the job

      There’s also part of it being that the president might need to be turned on in the middle of the night for some important thing and then turned back off when it’s sorted. This may be part of why presidents age so quickly.

        Good thing we’re running young capable people who can deal with that physical and mental toll…

      This is america. The boomers will never let go until they are dead or dying. Thankfully the vast majority of them have done nothing to take care of their meat suits so they should be checking out sooner than later.

        I’m middle-aged (53) and I’m GenX. FFS, you kids think everyone over 40 is a Boomer. Boomers were my parents.

        Joe Biden isn’t a Boomer, he’s part of the “Lucky Few” generation. Trump is a Boomer.

          Jesus Christ, Biden is so old he isn’t even a fucking Baby Boomer?! Fuck.

          Apparently he’s from the “Silent Generation”. Goddamn.
