    What should be the goal of Housing and Urban Development?

    (a) to develop housing in urban areas

    (b) to figure out what EPMD meant by “I’m Housin’” and do that

    (c) to lecture people in speeches so dull and cookie-cutter Breitbart barely covers it

    (d) Sshh, he’s napping

    Yeah, sure, he will probably fuck over the greater Houston area, and next month Florida too. But my head is still swimming at how wrong he is about how the brain/memory works. You absolutely can not stimulate the brain and recite 60 pages of a book. And he is a world famous brain surgeon. What. The. Fuck.

    Leave it to Trump to appoint a brain surgeon who doesn’t know how the brain works to run a branch of government that he knows even less about. I feel sick.

      Surgeons are mechanics, not mechanical engineers - understanding of the underlying systems is a plus but not necessarily essential. And like both their knowledge doesn’t necessarily carry over to anything else

      I literally did not read another word of this article after that bit about the memory. I was too distracted and confused.

      After this presidency is over, I am going to see about hiring Ben to stick some wires in my hippo campus to erase everything political from my brain starting from around Summer 2015 and replace it with Harry Potter.

    “You take somebody with the wrong mind-set, you can give them everything in the world [and] they’ll work their way right back down to the bottom,” Carson said.

    Like how a person could inherit millions and a real estate business then have multiple failed and bankrupted ventures eventually claiming to be poorer than a homeless man because they’re in “such extreme debt.”

    How Petrified Should We Be for Hurricane Victims Now That Ben Carson Is the Head of HUD?

    Given the current administration’s desire not to govern/sabotage government/show complete incompetence, the presence of Ben Carson doesn’t mean shit.

    It was going to be Carson or some other stupid choice like Betsy DeVos.

    Whatever staff survive at HUD should be sheltering-in-place until the new administration, because they won’t be allowed to do their jobs.

    I’m always surprised when I, as a below average everything kinda guy, reads a quote from an acclaimed brain surgeon that is beyond stupid and clearly points to a lack of intelligence by the brain surgeon!

    He certainly is in the right administration to be such a dummy.

    Honestly, I wouldn’t worry too much. HUD has been a fucked up, corrupt shithole disaster since the 1970s.

    IMHO, they are the worst of all the agencies, and you know what that means.
