Discussion: Watch Rep. Katie Porter Teach Ben Carson His Own Job

We live in a great country, because here a person of color can be just an idiot as butt-stupid honky Louis Gohmert and still be chosen for a cabinet position.
And please do not sully the noble ideals of affirmative action by saying Carson’s ascension to this post by Trump/GOP is due to that.
This isn’t affirmative action. This is just outright grift and corruption.

Sometimes you just need to response to ridiculousness with ridiculousness.

I feel better now.

I love Katie Porter. While watching her systematically take apart Carson, Dimon, and others, I kept waiting for her to say,

“WHERE ARE MY FUCKING DRAGONS?!”

Gee, I thought I was the only person who ate that for breakfast!

Close.

Katie is a mom to three wonderful children. They live in Irvine, where she is a long-time Cubmaster in her sons’ cub scout pack. Katie is a tenured Professor of Law at University of California Irvine and teaches consumer law.

While also doing this

In 2012, then California Attorney General Kamala Harris appointed Katie to be California’s watchdog against the banks. The banks had promised to pay billions to homeowners they cheated, and Harris appointed Katie to make sure the banks followed through. Katie and her team held the banks’ feet to the fire, securing over $18 billion and helping tens of thousands of families move forward with their lives.

That would have been one way for Carson to ride the storm out.

REO was originally the off-brand of Oldsmobile. REO= Ransom E. Olds, founder. Apologies for the pedantry.

Hmm. I’m rethinking my support for legal marijuana.
