Ben Carson says conditions for people detained at the border are 'quite nice'

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson said in a soon-to-be-released episode of "Axios on HBO" that the conditions for people who are detained at the Mexico border are "quite nice."

"A lot of the people who have been detained there have been put into 'sprung structures' and tent cities are actually quite nice," Carson told Axios' Jonathan Swan. Axios released a preview of the piece that will air Sunday.

Carson added that the structures had both air conditioning and heating,
but when pressed by the Swan about the facilities,
the famous brain surgeon said that they needed to be built.

(So, these nice places have not yet been built?)

grab a couple of space blankets, find a spot on the floor and spend a couple of weeks and soak it all in. I wouldn't let that man remove a splinter from my finger.

No bedbugs (also no beds), but hot and cold running scorpions.

Trump is a walking crime against humanity. He should go hump a moving blade on an outboard motor.

Can we get George Takei to inspect these "motels" (as Cruella DeVos called them)? He's the only expert I can think of.

EIGHT more months until we can fix this crap.
