"Dr." Ronny Jackson at CPAC saying Biden has dementia and will be ousted via the 25th amendment...

CPAC is all about spewing lies and conspiracy theories. He claims Nancy Pelosi created a panel to discuss Biden's mental capacity.

Rep. Ronny Jackson claims *Dems* will look at ousting Biden via the 25th amendment within a year.

"He's not cognitively fit to be our president. Something's going on. I'm not his doctor, I haven't examined him, I'm not calling it dementia... but I'm saying something's not right"

Some have suggested a national license to prevent doctors who lose a license in one state from lying and getting a license in another state.

The only thing they have authority about is their published guidelines on percentage calculations of disability, which are largely accepted as authoritative. It's up to the state medical boards. I think he let his license expire around the time the GAO or whomever report came out, at least in VA and I checked, he's not licensed in Texas.

Not 100% serious, I assume, but still. What a bizarre thing for a doctor to even utter.

President Donald Trump is in “excellent” physical and cognitive health, according to his physician Dr. Ronny Jackson, who shared the results of Trump’s first physical at a press conference Tuesday.

“It is called genetics ... ” Jackson said. “Some people have just great genes. I told the president that if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years, he might live to be 200 years old.”

Trump’s only health concern, according to Jackson, is his weight of 239 pounds. Jackson said the president wants to lose 10 to 15 pounds over the next year, and plans to exercise more.

Nobody is perfect. If he misspeaks or makes mistakes, it is understandable.

Reading Obama's book about time as President and he worked so hard to get his speeches right and was Suma Cum Laude at Harvard. He was always judged but things have gotten even worse since then.

The priorities Biden is focusing on and what he is getting done is AMAZING in an environment of complete chaos and ugly aimed at people doing the work.

stating there must be something wrong with them that requires removal from office.

There is always a new low it seems - some things never change for the these RW abominations.

And a metric has not yet been invented that could measure the hypocrisy of these a-holes.

Every last person that's attending that conference is rotten to the core. As with Dear Leader, the cruelty is the point. They're all just as hateful and cruel as Trump, so it's no surprise that they've pushing this kind of shit for months on end.

the White House physician through the Obama administration. He almost certainly HAD to have some kind of personal relationship with Joe Biden.

What kind of an utter GARBAGE PERSON do you have to be, in order to make public statements about someone you clearly know to be healthy, and I would be willing to bet every cent to my name, treated you with nothing but kindness and respect?

He, and the others on that stage have nothing to offer. So, they sit and carp from the sidelines.

Who purchased the mediocre doctor’s congressional seat for him? Who prefers that his congressional district be represented by someone seemingly only interested in denigrating the current president?

These people are disgusting. I’m gonna go watch some cute kitty videos.
