Today's installment of "We're Doomed, We're Doomed!" comes via The New York Times regarding the nomination of Dr. Ben Carson to head up the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Big-city mayors and housing experts are nervous about the idea of a billionaire real estate developer in the White House. Now President-elect Donald J. Trump has picked Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon with no housing experience, as his nominee for secretary of Housing and Urban Development and high anxiety has set in.
As The Timess Mid-Atlantic bureau chief, I have spent a lot of time in Baltimore, Cleveland and Philadelphia, which are all run by Democrats. In those cities, and many others across the country, housing concerns are deeply intertwined with other poverty-related issues, including racial tensions with the police.
So they're worried about the real estate guy AND the guy who has no housing experience.

So, apparently chuckee schmuckee and pee-lousy don't think that this "boy" knows enough to run HUD. If the roles were reversed and say, hildabeast picked, oh, van jones to run HUD and McConnel and Ryan called him out. Well, that would be racis' to the nth degree. In this case.....meh.

I really enjoy watching marshmallow major journalists sinking into the mire of irrelevance.

One of my black employees grew up in public housing in the South Bronx. He was thrilled to hear that Carson is now in charge of HUD! He told me all about the nightmares of living in the projects. No heat, no running water or toilets, there was even an incident where an 82 year old grandmother had to keep a bucket to go to the bathroom in because the super wouldn't fix her toilet. The city of New York did nothing except try to evict her and throw her in an institution and they killed her in the process.
Another incident, this 29 year old grandmother got thrown out of the window because she wouldn't loan her 15 year old daughter money for crack.
I could go on. I am just so glad He's in charge. He needs to clean things up and drain the swamp!

Fake outrage and concern from the Fake News Media.
Just out of curiousity, who is the current HUD Secretary and what has he or she done to improve the lives of those living in the inner cities, NYTwit?

And yet, they raised no concerns when the current HUD secretary, Julian Castro - who’s mother co-founded La Raza - was appointed.
He is a Harvard lawyer who became mayor of San Antonio at age 26. So, lots of life experience there....

The
Slimes will fret about everything Trump does, doesn't do, will do, will not do, should have done, and should not have done.
Diaper dispensers for NYT crybabies will be a necessary feature in their restrooms.

Personally, because of his obvious qualifications, I’d rather see him as Secretary of HHS.
Regardless of that, I believe he’d tackle any job to reform this government to the best of his abilities.

My boss is a flaming Liberal. I know where she stands, but I have never engaged her in any sort of political discussion. I smile and nod when she talks about her views. She’s the boss.
I think Nov 8 shell-shocked her. She’s been very quiet (but obviously unhappy). She just has avoided politics for the past few weeks.
Until today. Today she was furious. Carson?? That guy?? To HUD?? What a terrible thing!!!!!
I almost called her a racist. But I just smiled. She’s the boss.

He’s a neurosurgeon. I’m pretty sure he has adequate reasoning skills to do this job.
