        He should never have accepted the job. He didn't want it. He said he didn't want it. But he took it. He should resign.

        this ASSumption that motivated "Dump' advisors to give this guy the job, is indicative of how subtle racism can be. Where Carson is regarded, the racism attached to giving him the HUD gig, is sorta complex. They thought "oh, urban develop... (snap) THATS A JOB FOR A BRUTHA!"

        Hadn't considered that possibility. The explanation that I thought most plausible was that each appointee was carefully selected to be exactly the wrong leader for each department or agency, thereby ensuring their destruction.

        sure....he's not the only buffoon on staff (see: B. DeVos). And I got no problem with black faces in high places. But I do have a problem with black faces in high places, that dont know their ass from a hole in the ground. Melania, could probably run HUD, better than Carson.

        I get that. It's a shame all people don't think that way. Always remember that there was one in the highest place for 8 years... and that guy was pretty awesome.

        Who knew a surgeon without an iota of knowledge regarding HUD outside of building a deck on his house would fail? As a doc, I know my limits

        I honestly thought Trump was joking when he nominated this overly medicated drone. But then there was Perry, Zinke, Ross, et al and realized the nightmare in front of us.

        You just know that Trump only nominated Carson because he assumed that he needed a black guy to head the department with Urban in its name.
