“It will not be my intention to do anything that will benefit any American” — Ben Carson, with an all-time great gaffe.

[herding cats]

1. Haha!

Oops! Doncha just hate when the truth slips out like that?

[Else You Are Mad]

2. The truth always comes out eventually...

My guess is that people that live in subsidized housing will have to move into a Trump/Kushner property to receive the subsidy so the money is funneled into their own pockets.

7. Trump Hovels

[SharonAnn]

17. Exactly. And HHS will have to pay licensing for the brand!

[Lindsay]

3. That is classic.

Thanks for sharing.

[underpants]

4. Damn, I fell asleep half way through his quote

I think he did too.

[packman]

5. Well, one honest person in the Trump team

waiting for the second (not holding my breath)

[tclambert]

6. That does leave an opening for benefiting Russians.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Are the tRumps American or Russian? Have they taken out Russian citizenship? Birth certificates?

(meant to reply to tclambert above)

[Motown_Johnny]

9. Now Russians.......That is a different story. n/t

[barbtries]

10. oh, i want to see the video!

11. Ben usually does tell the truth...he said he wasn't qualified.

He said he had no administrative experience, so DT should pick someone else. He once said, during the election, but after he had signed on to be a sycophant for DT, something like, you couldn't tell DT's policies from the things he said.

[calimary]

21. Welcome to DU, Alice11111!

My problem with him has been - you usually can't tell if he's even awake or not.

[Alice11111]

22. Thank you. LOL, yeah, Ben sleeps through most stuff

Then, he will wake up and say something stupid or insult his party. He is benign compared to most of them.

[TrollBuster9090]

12. Well, at least he guaranteed that HUD money will only be used to construct

...triangular shaped grain storage bins in Chicago.

[DFW]

13. That should be on a plaque on the door to his office.

*If the Kochs weren't Americans, I would have said it should be on the door to the Oval Office after Trump takes the oath.

[IronLionZion]

14. Video

[Cha]

15. Did he ever realize what he said? What a question from

Warren, btw.

Do Cabinet members usually get asked if their agency's money will go to benefit the incoming potus or their family?

Good grief! Or just the scammers like trumpee?

[Eleanors38]

16. Heh-Heh! Now, I have to take a piss!

[bucolic_frolic]

18. Oh the pee parties we will be having over the next 4 years

non-stop jawdropping guffaws and hilarious exhilaration

if only it all weren't happening

[spanone]

19. shit, he should be president. at least the 'danger' factor would be gone

dumbfuck

[calimary]

20. He was awake?

That's the only impression he's ever left me with. Throughout debate season, whenever his name came up, I found myself immediately wondering - "is he awake yet?"
