1. not so funny for those who live in low income housing

Huge complicated agency. FEAR, not humor.

2. The humor was a reflection of the incompetence of the incoming

administration. I am sure that being intelligent, we all know the results of such an appointment.

3. Trump's entire administration is definitely a joke

Corrupt, incompetent, or both.

Impeachment hearings galore will be happening in the next couple of years.

4. I doubt that. The Republicans in Congress will back the party line,

even if they loathe Trump and his actions.

5. Trump voters don't give a crap about HUD

actually they want to see the department fail. It is a perfect appointment for Trump. Now Palin at VA for example was never going to happen for the opposite reason (everyone cares how vets are treated).

6. Trump's hiring strategy

Who's the dumbest, most inexperienced
and ineffective guy they can find?

Apparently, Trump hit the trifecta with Ben Carson.

7. Perfect for HUD

They want to kill the agency anyway. No better way than demonstrating it is ineffective by actually being ineffective due to leadership at the top.

10. I think Trump thinks "black equals urban"

and, he promised Carson a cabinet position, so the "black guy" gets the "urban" cabinet position at HUD.

8. I repeat nothing funny about putting an imbecile in charge of the most vulnerable

among us. These folks make from $4Grand-$23Grand a year. Pay 30% income to rent. Many where I live do not own cars. Disabled guy, Dan, 44, with no legs, beautiful red haired Cynthia with MS and now a brain tumor, Vernon, with a tube in his throat for speaking, Eugene the darling little rain man. Wonderful people. NO HUMOR ON THIS END. These folks thrown into the streets is not funny. It makes me cry. Find something else to laugh at.

11. No one is laughing at the people. I repeat that the laugh is that someone like

Ben Carson who professes to have no experience is the appointee. The situation of our fellow Americans is prevalent in all our minds. However, you insist on trying to make it seem that the posters are making fun of the undeserved and those most vulnerable. You are the one who needs to get a grip and stop using the misfortunes of others to create dissension.

9. Trump has to have someone who's not a white male and someone who's loyal not smart or interested
