Ben Carson tapped for Housing and Urban Development

Posted by | December 5, 2016 06:52 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

Ben Carson’s qualifications are that he lives in a house.

“Ben Carson has a brilliant mind and is passionate about strengthening communities and families within those communities,” Trump said in a statement released Monday. “We have talked at length about my urban renewal agenda and our message of economic revival, very much including our inner cities.”

The famed retired neurosurgeon is an unorthodox pick to lead the agency which oversees affordable housing programs and enforces fair housing legislation.

In fact, a top Carson aide, Armstrong Williams, told The Hill last month that the former GOP presidential hopeful wasn’t interested in a Cabinet position because, “Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience, he’s never run a federal agency. The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency.”

    Oh yeah, he’s just great. He’ll fall asleep at any meeting..or put others to sleep. Like other Republicans he’ll just make things worse.

      “He’ll fall asleep at any meeting”

      We definitely can’t have people falling asleep at important meetings!

        that wasn’t a meeting. and tRump doesn’t want the job because he’s a dumb ass who can’t comprehend complex subjects. like, skipping out on all of two daily briefings.

        aside from the fact that carson believes that the pyramids were built to store grain, i think it’s very fair to say he’s too stupid to hold any serious positions where people lives are at stake.

        Just a little different don’t ya think?

          i haven’t been there in over a year. took a long time to wash off the slime.

        • Robert M. Snyder December 5th, 2016 at 22:26

          I don’t get it. I just looked at a couple of their articles. I saw a lot of anti-Trump comments.

    Dr. Carson said he had seen photographs and videos of him campaigning for the Republican nomination but called them “the work of an evil person who is really good at PhotoShop and whatnot.”

    He said he did not know who would create such an elaborate hoax to convince him that he had run for President “when I clearly did not,”

      He would know about molesting.

    • StoneyCurtisll December 5th, 2016 at 17:00

      That sounds like Donald Trump describing himself..

  4. jybarz December 5th, 2016 at 09:47

    It’s truly unbelievable that sleepyhead is a doctor.
    Why he wants housing and not health?
    Anyhow, I don’t give a fck who Maggot Tramp wants to surround himself…they’re all Deplorables!

    Has there ever been a time in our nation’s history when so many unqualified people were picked to run big departments?

  6. maggiemoo December 5th, 2016 at 10:42

    The never alert or lucid fool who only became a candidate to push his book will now be a cabinet member. Only in trump’s America.
    It has been said tRump only likes to be around dummies because he needs to be the smartest. That sets the bar for consideration very, very low.

    These senate confirmation hearings are going to be hilarious.

  8. labman57 December 5th, 2016 at 15:34

    So previously Carson declined to serve as Secretary of HHS, claiming that he lacked the necessary experience … which obviously means he’s completely qualified for the HUD position.
    Got it.

    It’s like a bad dream that keeps getting worse.

    • StoneyCurtisll December 5th, 2016 at 16:45

      Ain’t that the truth…

    • Obewon December 5th, 2016 at 23:13

      HUD to be renamed ‘Housing and Urban Coal Energy Development.’ This is just like that movie we lived through from noon on January 20th, 2001 to 1/20/2009. ‘Tis the doom of people that we forget.’ It’s as if Ben played Token on South Park.

    All of the low income families/individuals, that have housing vouchers, WATCH OUT. You could become homeless, with this jackass in charge. And for the ones that voted four him, you are going to get what you deserve.

    The first of Trump’s appointees that the left isn’t calling white supremacist

    • bpollen December 5th, 2016 at 17:56

      Thank you for that rousing rendition of “O, Troll o’ me O.”

      • StoneyCurtisll December 5th, 2016 at 19:57

        “This user is blocked”…
        Is a beautiful thing…

        • bpollen December 5th, 2016 at 20:01

          It should say “This user is a blockhead”…

  12. StoneyCurtisll December 5th, 2016 at 19:55

    Key words…
    ‘Ben Carson tapped’…..
    End comment
