Ben Carson was asked by Senator Warren if he could guarantee whether trump would make money off of HUD or not.

This is a comment from TPM..

"How can any nominee say with a straight face state that he can't guarantee that the President won't be enriched by government money under their management??? This just boggles my mind. Considering that the Trump family currently has an investment with a HUD-financed or subsidized project, it would still be appropriate -- nay, demanded -- that the nominee answer the question with a resounding "no" with the carve out for existing contracts. But absolutely NO NEW BUSINESS WITH THE TRUMPS (or renegotiated or renewed) while Donald is office. To me Carson's non-answer is evidence of an unqualified NO to his appointment."

Evidently carson couldn't say.

Wow - Comrade Casino put skewed little "Satan Horn" quotation marks around the word intelligence to spin it, and thereby twist the screw of DISRESPECT even harder and deeper into all 17 of America's essential Shields: the government Intelligence agencies, including Army Intelligence, CIA, FBI, NSA etc. etc. etc....that are perhaps the most critical line of America's defense.

Why do Republican role model Comrade Casino & his Suspiciously Silent Sidekick, The Pence of Darkness, hate America and America's military veterans and intelligence professionals?
