Somebody’s feeling guilty about his fetish… Or is uncomfortable in his own skin…

The more creeps attack transgenders or gays, the more obvious these people are hiding their “predilections”.

Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you are a nut. In both cases you’re Ben Carson.

In related news, Ben “Uncle Tom” Carson also thinks the pyramids were built by the Old Testament figure Joseph to store grain.

If there is anyone in the present administration whose comments are less worthy of note than Trump’s, it is Ben Carson.

Mmm-kay.

Guess “abnormal” is not derogatory, perhaps just medical(?) since Ben Doofus is a doc… And “big hairy men” muscling their way into the ladies room or a women’s shelter is just a joke or a fantasy?

Geez, if I believed in Heaven and Hell, I would hope there is a special hell for all of these vile, lying “spokespersons” who spew lies to cover up for this foul (mal)administration. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

It’s a sorry state when high ranking American officials
say such hateful things.
I often think that weirdo had
operated on his own head at some point. That would explain
a lot.

Everybody knows that’s true. What’s less known is that the pyramids also featured the world’s first funicular elevators to haul customers back and forth to the pâtisseries, Chez Aseneth, located on the sixth floor at most locations.

He’s more like the Secretary of DUH.

Yep. That was a misleading denial. Carson doesn’t need to use slurs to label people as wrong and disordered for being who they are.

Have people like this ever met transgender people who they knew were transgender? (Of course, if you were transgender, you would have to be an idiot to want to come out to someone like Carson.)

And just why was the practice of radical lobotomizing banned by medical and psychiatric professionals?? Could we petition for a reopening of trials in specialized cases? It might help this witless wonder… you never know. Goddamned Idiot.

Does anyone think the Trump administration’s vetting process would be thorough and appropriate? We are getting the government we deserve, you know. If you think we deserve better, then you’d better get out there and do something instead of sitting on your butt reading and commenting on TPM. Wait…

Sounds to me like a Tinder date gone terribly wrong, and HUD employees will feel the pain for a long time.
