Former White House pill mill operator and alleged physician and now Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, former Rear Admiral in the Navy, was quietly demoted to Captain by the Navy in July of 2022 following the Inspector General's investigation into the huge, unregulated prescription drug operation in the Trump White House.

For those not familiar with military traditions and rituals, losing flag rank for an officer, active or retired, is a huge deal.

Well, he only hires the best people, ya know....

>>>A Navy official confirmed that the service took unspecified action against Jackson in the wake of the 2021 inspector general’s report, which found that Jackson berated subordinates in the White House medical unit, “made sexual and denigrating statements” about a female subordinate, consumed alcohol inappropriately with subordinates and consumed the sleep drug Ambien while on duty as the president’s physician. At the time of the report, Jackson was classified by the Navy as a rear admiral (lower half), a one-star admiral that is distinct from the two-star rear admiral position.<<<<

That is a big deal and shows he didn’t follow military rules regarding dispensing the drugs.

Hell of a thing to lose your rank over… very preventable and obviously problematic.

Notable that the Biden Administration didn't see a need to make a big deal out of it, just let the Navy quietly handle their business.

Only costs him about $15k/yr off his retirement benefits; like Michael Flynn he should have been court martialled.

Trump, being Cadet Bone Spur, should never be the Commander in Chief of the armed forces!

However, we were told on here that the Ronny Jackson was a good guy bc the character witness saw him at a political function.

Well, he was physician to the president under Obo from 2013 on. Whatever Trump should have known, Obo should have also.

Maybe the Obama administration wasn’t riddled with drug fiends demanding stuff.

first off -- who cares? some random obama appointee gets reduced in rank? i just can't force myself to care ..

but the more telling point, ANYONE who thinks this sequence of events is "bad" AND thinks that Biden appeared past pudding time did a good job, is overlooking the gross fact that he was more juiced up than lance armstrong ...

hey, wasn't there some other populist president that used hate to sculpt the opinions of his audience, that ALSO liked to be all hopped up ...

hmm, can't recall the last name, ... but adli or something like that for a first name

You can’t juice someone cognitively. Dementia does not work that way. You fall over that apex, you keep going.

By your reasoning a cognitively impaired President Biden is more intelligent, more articulate than Rep Greene.

It matters when the Presidential physician is reduced in rank for illegally handing out pills.

We are indicting doctors across this country for over, illegal prescription of medication Ms that gave rise to the meth epidemic. If you want to read about that.

President Biden has not had the WH appointed doctor, who campaigned on being the WH appoint doctor and an admiral, engage in pill dispensary activity that saw a reduction in rank.

That is the another and real issue. I am going to assume this man has campaigned on being an admiral and WH appointed doctor under President Trump. Those campaign credentials are not worth a warm bucket of spit given these facts. Facts this man did not disclose in campaigning. Does anyone seriously think as a person running as an R for the House in Texas he did not grandstand on being those two things?

And his Congressional bio still claims, a year-and-a-half later, that he's a retired Rear Admiral.

Goggle Ronny Jackson + Borger rodeo.
Typical ass hat.

Yeah watch that video and read the context and tell me who was wrong.

i guess you aren't a gooder of a reader as you say you are -- it SAYS

In December 2019, after 25 years of distinguished service to his country, Dr. Jackson retired from the United States Navy as a Rear Admiral.

It says he retired as, not currently is -

you know, sometimes, i wonder if the interwebs is the right place for you and your "gentle" sensibilities

Why would anyone waste their time defending this guy? Strange behavior. Another loser in Trump’s circle. Big surprise.

When one is retired in rank from rear admiral to captain, it is reasonable to conclude the person did not retire with the previous, higher rank, but the reduced rank.

It's a grift. Just like everything related to trump. That said, the guy must have had something going on if he made admiral rank in the US Navy.

What is worse not making rest admiral, or losing rear admiral because you start pull mill like prescription writing?

I”ll take the guy who maxes out and does not become a personally corrupt.

That said, I have a prejudice against doctors who engage in this behavior.

Personally, he got off light.

It’s just like a former president…

Playing legalistic word games.

Jackson retired as a rear admiral.

He is not a retired rear admiral.

Personally I’d be every bit as much offended by the government types who while preaching the evils of substance abuse are availing themselves of the very system they passed laws against.

Jackson violated his duty and paid the price. Appropriately so.

I suspect this will bite him on the rump come election time.

Where is the shaming of the various folks who misrepresented their needs to the corpsmen who gave them what they wanted under threat to their jobs?

The WH doctor serves at the pleasure of politicians. Obviously Jackson was more worried about keeping politicians happy than either his military command or his medical integrity.

it is reduced in rank, rather than how you phrased "retired" in rank. The rank the person retired at, which even the sarge affirms, was admiral. Should he update his bio? Yep - he retired in 2019, rank was Rear Adm. -- and has we hear from peckerwood county "was quietly demoted to Captain by the Navy in July of 2022" - which is a couple years after the fact.
