Ben Carson’s HUD: Political loyalty required, no experience necessary

https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...185_story.html

Quote:
The limited experience at the upper reaches of the agency — HUD Secretary Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, has no prior housing, executive or government background — injected confusion into the rollout of policy initiatives and brought delays to even routine functions, according to interviews with 16 current and former career staff members.

“This administration is different, because the people coming in really don’t know housing at all,” said Ron Ashford, who retired as director of HUD’s public-housing supportive-service programs in January after 22 years at the agency. “As a result, they’re pursuing initiatives that aren’t grounded in reality.”

Could be the worst church bus movie ever, but that is such a low bar.

So incredibly out of touch, yet the Whells of the world continue to vote for these dinosaurs.

Cons should never, ever try comedy. They truly suck at it.

California just passed its net neutrality law. The DOJ is already suing

So much for GOP support for states rights... Or consumer protection .

Esquire looks at the David Nune's family farm operation:

Devin Nunes’s Family Farm Is Hiding a Politically Explosive Secret

The not-very-explosive secret is that the family farm is no longer in California's central valley--they sold out in 2006 and moved the dairy operation to Iowa. This secret is kept to protect what has become the really explosive secret: the Nunes farm, like nearly every diary operation in Iowa, depends on undocumented workers. That is, on the dangerous enemies of America that Trump and the Trumpists say they want to deport, one and all.

The hypocrisy of illegal alien demonization laid bare!
