Where’s the gold?
No class
Looks like they got it at Rooms To Go

He needs “Class” like Donnie

Aaron Schock: Gone. Ben Carson: Going, Going, Soon to be Gone! Corruption and hypocrisy alert!

Looks like a Craigslist ad. "Don’t lowball me!! I know what I have!!

noamsane · February 28, 2018, 4:33pm

Oh my! It simply WON’T DO. What do they think we are, some kind of plebians?

Nothin’ quite like a $31000 dining set to display the fecklessness and sense of entitlement these grifters have…

Even Ben Carson’s dining room is putting me to sleep.

Why does the HUD secretary have a dining room?

This is a drop in the bucket compared to the money Ryan Zinke spent on his office and on his vacation trips with Republicans Senators and Reps to Alaska all on the tax payer…illegally as well.

Then we have Trump spending a whopping $ 24 Million just to upgrade the refrigerators and freezers on Air Force I. Those freezers must be coated in gold or something…

Meanwhile the number of Americans who are now starving to death is exploding…especially in several southern red states like Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama. Yup…people are starving to death again in the US thanks to all of the Trump cuts to domestic programs!

Where the hell is he getting this dining set from - a Versaille outlet?

sysprog · February 28, 2018, 4:41pm

Oh please. I could have hooked them up for a couple of thousand and it would have lasted 50 years like the LAST set.

Dear Ben:

You’re welcome!

Funnily enough, I got this image when I googled “gaudy pimped out Italian decor”

I missed something here. Why do they have a “Dining Room” to begin with? What about a standard business meeting room? Or a normal break room? This looks more like a go to grandma’s house for T-day affair. For 31K, you could redo the room, furniture and add a few whiz bang whiteboard toys.

What would Harry Truman say?

clauscph · February 28, 2018, 4:45pm

The new set ? I want to see the new set !

epicurus · February 28, 2018, 4:45pm

He’s really “pulling himself up by his own bootstraps.” Just one more grifter in the Trump “Administration.”

clauscph · February 28, 2018, 4:48pm

How much will “The Ben Carson Wall of Fame” at the HUD cost ?

I remember some pictures from his home in the Guardian

sickneffintired · February 28, 2018, 4:52pm

Especially when you or I could locate with no difficult an equivalent for a whole lot less

mondfledermaus · February 28, 2018, 4:53pm

So it’s Carson, Wilbur Ross at Comerce (got all his aides kicked out), and Kushner… and that’s only the last couple days.

One thing is for sure, Americans have lost the authority to call Latin American countries, corrupt, “banana republics” and the such.

rssrai · February 28, 2018, 4:54pm

Here is a dinning room set for under $5,000. LOL.
