I'll bet Trump picks that quack from Florida, "Dr." Joseph Ladapo for Surgeon General

[PlanetBev]

With his screwy ideas, he’ll fit tight in.

OK, place your bets. Who do you think Trump will pick?

[Turbineguy]

1. This.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. If he were still alive, I'd venture to guess

Dr. Walter Freeman, the infamous surgeon known for wholesale lobotomies, including the aunt of RFK, Jr.

[Ocelot II]

3. It's him or Ronny Jackson, the pill-pushing "doctor" who, as WH physician,

declared Trump to be so incredibly healthy that he could live to be 200 and that he weighed only 230 lbs. OR maybe the Demon Sperm doctor.

7. You know, Ocelot, on second though, I think you're right

I think Ronny Jackson will beat out Ladapo.

8. I doubt Jackson is interested in leaving his safe seat in the house.

Although I'd grab the popcorn for his confirmation hearing. I can't believe he almost ran the agency I'm about to leave (the VA).

4. That name was floated a few weeks ago.

It's probably a pretty safe bet, unfortunately.

5. Id say he wont fill the position

Ratfucker jr will gut the cdc, so the post will go unfilled.

6. Kimberley Guilfoyle for Plastic Surgeon General

9. They've got the people chosen (including him), it's just a matter of who where.

Ladapo might get CDC or something else. This article from Politico is from today and is in line with other news and rumors I've heard.

Big dumpster fire. Glad I'm leaving the practice of medicine in the United States next year.
