I have never met a man, unless he was gay or that was part of his profession that made decisions regarding this nature.

Once again the "party of personal responsibility" shows us that have no idea what personal responsibility actually is. Like most Republican "values", their words are shallow and their actions telling.

Then to throw his wife under the bus? Can one be any more despicable?

The man is more boring than cornbread. Does he look like an extravagant spender?

Does anybody have a picture of this table? I mean, I don't mind spending a few bucks and I've seen tables well over $31k but I have rather high expectations if I'm busting out that kind of dough.

-edit-

She needed to look for a sale. This sucker is over $10k off

Please consider him for any replacement/upgrade you are considering in Dr. Carson's chosen field! :mrgreen:


I am certain there is a donor list, think about getting in the queue.

Is that a CPA term, "busting out?"

The Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital had a dubious Medical career?

What a disgraceful comment. I bet you wouldn't say that about a white doctor.

Every time a new president gets elected the first thing I see on TV Specials is the president's wife changing the drapes in the white house and redecorating. The president has zero say in this matter.

Trump picked the gold drapes.
 
Come to think of it, how pissed off would you be if someone left a coffee cup on your $31k dining room table?

Again its no shock to me you misinterpret the problem to obediently post "nothingburger". And its no shock you try to pretend marriage is something out of a 60s sitcom. its not about the cost and its not about who picked out the furniture. the point is we were told by HUD that bennie and the wife had nothing to do with it. from cardinal's link

"Mrs. Carson and the secretary had no awareness that the table was being purchased," said HUD spokesman Raffi Williams at the time. Added a HUD official: "The secretary did not order a new table. The table was ordered by the career staffers in charge of the building."

But then we learn

"An August email from a career administration staffer, with the subject line 'Secretary's dining room set needed,' to Carson's assistant refers to 'printouts of the furniture the Secretary and Mrs. Carson picked out.'"

Carson's lies are not a nothingburger. and fyi, I recently picked out my dining room set. My wife had this uncomfortable and small set (only seated two). I saw one at Costco that was more comfortable, larger and seated four. it was just fabulous.

Ben Carson outside of his profession which he "seems" to be very well respected in and good for him is very odd person and seemingly a moron when it comes to everyday stuff and things outside his field..

Most doctors are very odd. They live in a bubble.

...the proof is in the dining room table. It seems everyone on Trump's team thinks the US Treasury is their personal bank account.

I blame Trump for putting this guy in that position when he stated that he had no background in the field.

Trump's MO has been Typical for GOP presidents. You put a polluter in charge of the environment, a moron in charge of education, an elitist whackadoodle in charge of HUD, etc., etc., with the common denominator being a hatred of government and a love of money. Did Trump's daughter have any credentials for being a top Whitehouse advisor? Did any of them have a clue? I don't think that was a qualification for the job. Being a good, faithful bootlick is the top qualification for this administration.

Trump's ego is so big, only a team of sycophants can appease him. His presidency is kleptomania turned into a bad street performance, as the organ grinder monkey humps your wife and steals your wallet but, at the end, genuflects and pretends to pray and the crowd goes "awww".

It’s part of the new regimes policies:

Deny and if that doesn’t work then lie. And of course the final tactic; Fake News, a media conspiracy.

It’s always somebody else’s fault so why not blame the wife? Carson’s a brain surgeon so may he turned her into a Stepford wife and she’ll take the heat for him no matter what he claims.
