13413048, With all Trump's cabinet drama, Ben moved in silence

I damn near forgot about him these past 4 years. Maybe Trump did too. He was just chilling in the HUD basement collecting checks.

Did he doing anything as HUD secretary? Or was he just there for whenever Trump needed a black face?
13413181, he was getting in on the grift buying a $31,000 office dining table set

with taxpayer money while proposing massive HUD cuts to slash funding for housing assistance programs.

13413219, Personally, i'm not mad at that at all. EVERYTHING is sold at a premium

to Federal government agencies.

EVERYTHING.

There are pretty strict purchasing guidelines that require buying from only authorized vendors. Those authorized vendors typically have high markups. It's been that way and it's that way by design. Unfortunately the media paints a different picture.

The reality is that our tax dollars are effectively working to keep a lot of small/smaller businesses IN business. So I get kinda peeved when they frame it wrong. It's really not as cut and dry as that....

13413049, he was at the same election night party...

13413052, I once called him an idiot for his views on homosexuality

Someone here said he's not an idiot because he's a neurosurgeon.

Being a genius in one area doesn't mean can't be an absolute moron on others, anymore than being a moron in one area doesn't mean you can't be brilliant on others.

Most of these people are incredibly smart in certain ways, but once they hit that wall of personal beliefs, that intelligence goes right out the fucking window, dismissing facts and evidence in favor of personal opinions, feelings, and outright dogma.

The fact that he, or anyone else supports trump at all is a facepalm and a half. But all the partying during COVID, without precautions no less?
13413054, I need video evidence if this guy performing surgery

I have a hard time believing a guy can be this gifted and dumb.
13413178, he thinks wearing a belt buckle will protect you from getting stabbed
