If you can figure out how to wrap your head around one little tiny iota of the Trump Presidency, starting with the fact that we have a President Trump, then please pass the instructions along to me because every time it hits me that Donald Trump is president it feels like I’m being hit with a piano somebody dropped out the window over my head.

Yes, yes. I’m sure that as Mrs. Johnson was on her way to greet the casket of the love of her life, the father of her two children and her unborn child, a man she’s known since she was six years old, the overwhelming thought in her mind was, “What can I find to use to complain about the president?” Naturally, that was what was going through her mind. Makes all the sense in the world.

BENadryl’s so quick to answer questions about DotardDon but not so when discussing the cuts he’s making to HUD.

And writer. I just finished his autobiography covering the years after he retired from surgery:

Actually what we’re looking hard for is any indication of your competence and qualification. We’ll let you know if we find some.

Wow. I’d like to see his whole Q & A session. What a clueless dotard - “chowderhead” is way too weak a characterization. How was this not national news? He’s the emptiest of empty suits. OK, that’s maybe better than the really competently evil guys like Pruit. Here’s more:
And following brain dead testimony from Carson on YouTube.

I’m not so sure that his fame isn’t based on self-treatment … and I don’t think it was a success.

Gawd, he’s dumber than shit. Is it remotely possible that he didn’t even separate conjoined twins, but that someone in the operating room did and he managed to take credit for it somehow? Or that he sliced into someone’s brain and caused a bigger lesion, and the person couldn’t sue because their brain no longer was able to understand what happened? I can’t believe this man is a brain surgeon. I. Just. Can’t.

I’m reminded of the famous sportswriter Jimmy Cannon who said Joe Louis was “a credit to his race—the human race.” It’s the mirror image of that idea—if you have to disparage a grieving widow just to please your lying boss, you’re profoundly betraying your own humanity.

That shit Carson was babbling in that hearing was breathtaking in its obtuseness.

Seems I remember a time in US history when black people were accused of just looking for something to complain about.

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson on Wednesday said some people “were just looking for something to complain about” in
President Donald Trump’s remarks to the widow of a U.S. soldier killed
in Niger earlier in October.
…\Dr Carson…are we to just let trump slide when he screws up? Do we give him a pass every time? What if, God very much forbid, you wife had been murdered and you were on your way to her funeral and you got a call from trump.
trump: Ben, heard the wife was shot the other day. Too bad that. In the head, yeah? Southside Chicago sucks ya know?
You: Don, this isn’t a good time right now… Mkay?
trump: Waddya mean…“not a good time”? This call is hard on me… y’know? C’mon Ben you’re my diversity guy and we got us a photo op comin’ up today. In an hour as a matter of fact.
“CLICK!!”
trump: well I think that went rather well (aside to gen Kelly) …don’t you? I mean I was respectful an’ all…

I am wondering if there’s even one person trump has appointed that is self aware.

Oddly the team that did the separation of those twins numbered something like 50. I think they included the janitors as well You cannot get that many hands in a surgical site. You just cannot. I think there was something about the anatomy of the twins that saved the day and made it easier to accomplish. Carson certainly was not alone in the operating room.

Seriously I’ve read two things more than once: a) that he’s something of a grandstander and not the surgical superstar he presents himself as and b) that he’s got some sort of neurological problem of his own going on. There’s someone who posts here, who I forget, who said they met years ago and Carson was nothing like he is now. Dementia may be a hallmark of this administration as much as corruption.
Believe me, this will make you laugh or cry, but will also give you joy, re: Ben Carson
