“You know what, Jesus? You know better than I do.”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake. No, you’re not one of us. You’re one of them.”

>Carson is more likely than the other crazies [to] say “you know better than I do” to the [experts]...

Except for one little detail. He’s the one that defends the HUD budget to Congress, a Congress that will be looking for large cuts. So he’ll be go-along, get-along and HUD will be eviscerated, with his support, so no back-lash on Congress.

This whole thread is making me laugh out loud

On the other hand, he DID cut a man just to watch him die. When he was 14!

“The Crown.” You’ve said it ALL.

Clearly Ben Carson is an accomplished medical professional, but that means nothing when it comes to housing and urban development. Being intelligent and well-studied in one area doesn’t mean one is intelligent and well-studied in everything.

Yep that’s exactly what I’m doing and enjoying myself! Cheers!

The problem is, he still keeps people like Armstrong Williams around him, who is somehow even more batshit crazy than he is.

Maybe? A smart person to me is one that not only has expansive knowledge but also intellectual curiosity coupled with self awareness. You have to know what you don’t know.

He’s a great technician and can memorize facts to pass exams. Agree to disagree but I’m going to think you’re an idiot if you think the world is 6,000 years old.

I think Carson is the perfect mild-mannered know-nothing frontman for what will be an unprecedented pillaging of HUD. Armstrong Williams, as conniving a con man that currently exists in DC, has his hands all over this, and he and Trump’s buddies will rob HUD blind, and when they finally get caught, Carson will take…

... Carson is a clueless moron, he seems to recognize that fact, and his lack of qualifications...

I mean, have you watched Madam Secretary? If so, then yes!

Left out “Must praise Donald Dump whenever possible no matter how insane it sounds” and “Must not threaten Donad Dump’s public perception of being the Great Leader.”

I read this as “at some point, have FELLATED Donald Trump.”

Ambassador to France, my friend. You can aim higher in Trump’s Fuckistan.

He has no expertise in housing policy, but he did spend part of his childhood in public housing...”

It seems the only qualifications to be considered for a Donald Trump cabinet is the nominee “must have done something somewhere else at some point. And also, Goldman Sachs.”
