Ben Carson Confuses A Housing Term For A Cookie

[3leftsdoo]

Some people come to this forum everyday triggered. And they constantly post sometimes a 100 posts in one day often just personally attacking other posters over non-superfluous bull ****. :lamo

:yt

 

[3leftsdoo]

Attempts to sink him failed because Trump isn’t bothered? Do you read what you write?

They have failed because the Trumpcult doesn’t care their leader is an illiterate buffoon so long as he talks trash about those evil libs.

The OTHER cult is bad.

The OTHER cult's leader is very bad.

OUR cult isn't even a cult!

And OUR cult's leader?

Blessed by G∞d his own self!

Secretary of HUD absolutely should know basic real estate terms.

Prez of the US absolutely should know there are 37 states, not 57!

:mrgreen:

 

[3leftsdoo]

Trumpists and especially fox talk radio when they had a slobbering love affair for Putin. Embracing tyrants to own the libs.

It's not like Obama whispered sweet nothings in a Russian leader's ear or anything.

Or that his cult loved him so much they needed to just get a room already.

 

[3leftsdoo]

Then maybe Dr. Carson is better suited to HHS or CDC, just sayin’!

I cannot imagine Ben Carson with a sharp instrument anywhere near my skull, just sayin’!

Well, he gave up medicine years ago.

But do you have access to information that his error/patient mortality rate was greater than other doctors of his type?

Please share if so!

He probably thought they wanted desert after fried chicken

What difference does it make?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

:mrgreen:

 

[3leftsdoo]

That's great. But that still doesn't make him competent. He can go be adorable elsewhere.

It doesn't make him incompetent.

That 57 states thing though...

 

[upsideguy]

That's the best ya got? Pretty damn weak. Not to mention that this seems to be a summer re-run, as its the only such example on Obama. As the reality is that Obama was pretty damn smart AND well educated. Something we once valued in out leaders.

Meanwhile, we can see your ignorance on display as this suggests you do not know the difference between someone who misspeaks and someone who is just ignorant, nor apparently do those that sanctioned this nonsense with a "like".

It doesn't make him incompetent.

See above.

Because there is currently a culture of anti-elitism, anti-intellectualism, and anti-expertise in this country. There is suspicion of people with background, knowledge, or experience in a field. So we put a brain surgeon in charge of HUD. We think a Manhattan real estate guy knows more than the generals about the military and the scientists about the climate. And we think all doctors are lying about their recommendations about the importance of vaccines.

Hey, what can go wrong? :lamo

A community organizer as prez?

What could go wrong?

 

[3leftsdoo]

Occasional gaffes or malaprops in public speaking are harmless and most times amusing. But there is nothing harmless or amusing about an overt demonstration of complete incompetence by a head of an important federal government department/institution whose misguided or uninformed actions and or decisions could have the potential for adversely affecting the lives of millions of Americans.

Translation:

When somebody in the OTHER cult does it, it's bad.

The GOOD cult and the the GOOD cult's leader are always batter than the BAD cult, and the BAD cult's leader.

SLC, trust me, not one person on this forum expected that you would understand the difference between a gaffe, and ignorance. She gave him the first two letters, and he still didn't know. In the famous words of Hollywood Henderson, you could spot Ben the "C" and "T" and he still couldn't spell "CAT".

Way before Ben’s tenure.

Can Terry Bradshaw spell ‘cat?’ The history of an insult

:lol: At least he can laugh at himself about it!

The mind of a child. Dumbass.

ROFLMAO - careful your bias is showing. Were he a "liberal" you'd be screaming how dumb he was. Speaking of mole hills and mountains.

The thread is idiotic, partisan, and your defense of it is extremely bias.

 

[ettoremathedi]

And this is news WHY? Perhaps the Congresswoman should have first defined her acronyms before using them.

Really? REALLY?

This is like asking the CHIEF police officer about IUDs and him not knowing the acronym

Or asking a CFO about ROI

I swear to god, it's amazing at what lenghts people will go to defend the people they like...

And to those that posted about Obama, be HONEST - Do you think Obama doesn't know how many states there are?

There is a difference between a gaffe and not knowing something. Betsy DeVos has shown, for example, that she doesn't understand the basics to do her job. Time and time again. Not being able to explain what somehting is is not a gaffe.

A gaffe would be Ben carson saying he's responsible for IUD and not HUD. Just a letter gaffe. That's fine.

It amazing the lengths people go to to defend people they like, as well as to attack people they dont. Either way, its pointless. Carson not knowing ROE or AMWI or whatever doesnt mean anything. While hearings are part of his job, its not the important part. How is he actually doing the job?

I'm Nobody! Who are you?

 

[ocean515]

I never could imagine anyone allowing this religious kook to apply a saw to their skull.

Oy vey.

Is it that the left hates Blacks who don't to the line, or is it just the very accomplished ones?

Are we to be so critical that every syllable someone utters is to be used as grounds for destruction?

 

[TU Curmudgeon]

Really wish this was an Onion article. Yet another Trump appointee embarrasses him/herself in a congressional hearing. Congresswoman Porter asked Carson about REO rates, and he replied, “Oreos”. What an embarrassment of an administration.

Watch HUD Secretary Ben Carson confuse Oreo cookie with housing term - POLITICO

See more Carson gaffes from the hearing below.

Why is everyone so down on Mr. Carson?

I mean he lives in a house, doesn't he?

And that house is in an urban area, isn't it?

Doesn't that mean that he has personal experience with "housing" and "urban affairs"?

Don't you want someone who has personal experience with "housing" and "urban affairs" to be in charge of the Department of Housing and Urban Affairs?

So you're saying you belong to a cult? Not really a surprise.

Wonder what black Americans think about that picture? They might not find it all that funny.

Without knowing what REO is, since it's one of the most critical and integral parts of why HUD exists, we can assume he isn't doing his job at all, other than using taxpayer money to buy himself expensive dining room tables and dishwashers.
