Yet again, Trump does his very best to submarine his own campaign. AND IT STILL DOESNâT WORK! Poor schlub is going to get the nomination no matter how hard he tries to derail himself.

Thereâs no reason to believe a word from this sick man. I wish the media would stop quoting him. Heâs mad as a hatter. Trump too. They deserve each other. They should be sharing a padded cell.

Liar.
Looks like somebody got an angry call from theDrumpf, or more likely one of his minions - heâs not important enough for a direct audience anymore.
I am curious to know just what he thinks âquid pro quoâ meansâŚ

Ben Carson is just like Trump: âI didnât say what you quoted me as saying!â

Carson is an expert of educationâŚoi vey. He thinks Trump University is the new Harvard.
Trumps promised to make him Secretary of EducationâŚto close public schools and cut property taxes for Donaldâs real estate empire. Carson gets the job and he gets to boost his investments in for-profit internet Universities like Trump U.
He is right. It was not a âQuid Pro Quoâ it was an outright JOB OFFER.
You endorse me, I make you Surgeon General of the US.

Ben Carson probably thinks âquid pro quoâ is a seafood-and-pasta dish at The Olive Garden.

âFirst of all, we did not discuss any quid pro quo. There seems to be a great desire by many people to try and make it seem that way,ââŚ
âGod damn media. They just cannot be trusted to not report every stupid and crazy thing someone says just because he is running to gain control of nuke codes and the worldâs most powerful military âorganizationâ.â
âCarson on Wednesday said that the two âdid not discuss any quid pro quoâ.â
Neither of us get Latin. Nor have either of us ever spoken three successive words in which two of them have contained the letter âqâ though we both have spoken frequently of the queers."

I suspect you are right.
Normally one expects physicians to have a certain working knowledge of Latin â emphasis on ânormallyâ. In this, as in many other things, Benny has proved us wrong in our assumptions.

Ben, you yourself said you were offered a job by Trump. And you then endorsed him. That is what âQuid Pro Quoâ means!
I wanna know who thought handing this man a scalpel was a damned good idea. Iâm not snarking. Iâm serious. This man is demented and cannot see the reality in front of his face. I spent my career around medical and research paeople and this guy should have been hounded out of medical practice long ago. It would be safer for everybody.
One more thingâŚCarson claims to have been the 1st to separate conjoined twins. He is not. That was 1st done in America in the 1950âs. The real 1st attempt was in Europe in the 1600âs but it failed. âGifted handsâ is a misnomer.

After this I hafta dip my laptop in bleach⌠but here goes⌠from Redstate of all places:
âŚ
Dr. Ben Carson appeared on video today for Newsmax TV
and made more than one ⌠letâs say âstartlingâ admission. Not the kind
of thing one usually spills the beans about, Iâd say. Here is the first
excerpt.
DR. BEN CARSON: I do believe, and
certainly in my discussions with Donald Trump, he does love America and
he does want to be successful. And, he will surround himself with very
good people.
NEWSMAXâS STEVE MALZBERG: And will one of them be Dr. Ben Carson?
Carson: I will be doing things as well, yeah.
Malzberg: In the administration.
Carson: Certainly in an advisory capacity.
Malzberg: Thatâs been determined? Youâve, when you sat down with him that was discussed?
Carson: Yes.
âŚ
By your own words Dr Ben, by your own words.

He got a call from Trump lawyers and probably his own. Thus the use of the phrase âquid pro quoâ . He thinks he is parsing the conversation now by saying that phrase, which my lawyers keep repeating to me, wasnât actually used. We donât use phrases like that talking to each other. So its all good.

Remember, Repubs donât get nuance. Or that the words quid pro quo do not have to be said out loud in order for there to be a quid pro quo situation.
They also donât seem to worry about perception of wrong doing.

Yes, thatâs my Lizzy (Australian Cattle Dog). She is a good girl, but typical ACD somewhat overwired!
Unfortunately, she only has bed privileges when my husband is out of town, because he thinks itâs awful to let pets in bedâŚafter all, they are ANIMALS. Although he sort of tolerates the cat⌠I grew up with critters having full house and bed privileges, so it makes me a bit sad.

"But we did agree that weâre both extremely interested in saving America â particularly for the next generations,
Particularly! Think of the children!
My wife and I are both on board with full bed privileges for our boy Boomer, though he is an 85 pound Lab and we sleep in a queen bed. It gets dicey when he runs in his sleep dreams scratching the back of whomever his legs face.
I can almost hear the perky music in my head:
âDoing the Carson two-step!â
(Maybe something like The Lambeth Walk. And OMG Iâve already invoked Godwinâs Law.)
@inlabsitrust: Thatâs the line Iâve been asking the Trump supporters around me - would you really trust this guy with the nuclear codes? It leaves them with their jaws hanging open.
