Really messed up that a voice of reason is Ben Carson.

“Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience, he’s never run a federal agency,” he went on. “The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency.”

Unlike Trump, who has no such qualms.

Afraid he couldn’t pass the piss test. Thorazine stays in your system longer than THC.

It’s really kind of historic.

“Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience, he’s never run a federal agency,” he went on. “The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency.”

First smart thing the man ever said.

He’s just being coy. He’s holding out for the coveted ambassadorship to Tuvalu.

Yep - that’s the first thing I thought of, too. Ben doesn’t think it’s okay for him to take a government agency job, but is totally fine with Trump leading the nation - cognitive dissonance is strong with this one . . .

Bannon, of course, now attributes this to Carson being shiftless and lazy.

I’m sorry and feel unpatriotic right now, but Williams’ statement made me laugh my ass off.

And yet he ran for POTUS.

You can’t make this shit up…I don’t care how good your shrooms are.

Frankly, we should consider ourselves lucky he turned this down. We’re strapped to the spinning wheel and Trump is basically throwing knives at us while bilndfolded. This one, thankfully, missed. He’ll eventually run out of knives and switch to hand grenades though.

By running to be President at one time? How does that logic work, Ben?

Ben Carson may actually be smart enough to recognize his own limitations in this regard. Besides, there’s a lot more grifting to be done where he can make some real money.

Yup. Lots of book sales and speaking tours coming to a CHURCH (mega, not maga) near you.

Ah, you beat me to it. I shoulda looked first.

Too bad; he would have made a perfect lawn jockey at the White House.
