I just figured I’d put that out there, because this is a guy who on the one hand laments the toxic tone of politics yet repeatedly enabled Trump and basically was terrified of being primaried a la Eric Kantor.
Please, just do us a favor and shut the hell up and be a lobbyist and Fox News contributor.
He better be careful, Trump will grab him
Well, man I spewed tea everywhere! Funny.
That’s OK, I’ll get Mexico to pay for a new keyboard. Believe me.
You’re not wrong, of course, but what specifically made you think of this today? Did he say something to remind you? Got a link?
I’d assume it was not going ahead with the vote on the continuing resolution to fund the government.
Well, at least he was careful to use multisyllable words so Trump wouldn’t understand him.
Not the word I’d have chosen, but I agree with the sentiment.
Paul Ryan is retiring from Congress. He’s not terrified that he’ll be primaried, he’s terrified that he won’t land some cushy gig as a lobbyist or at a conservative think tank, or something. Pure self interest.
I’d call him a despicable piece of shit, but that would be insulting to honest excrement everywhere.
I liked when someone changed the wiki page for “Invertebrates” to include Paul Ryan.
The modern Republican Party: “Ask not how you can improve your country, ask how your country can improve you.”
I think you’re mixing up cause and effect here. He chose to retire from Congress to avoid being challenged in the 2018 Republican primary election.
…AND once that was decided, went out with his final act being caving to Trump and the FC, instead of standing on his alleged principles … in order to insure a profitable future in K Street or the Punditsphere. And to keep from being sent off being called nasty names. Which I’m sure Donald WILL very soon anyway.
This.
Yep, that’s why I called Puss Ryan a Pussy.
But the joke’s on me: he’s gonna get rich lobbying for “job creators” who are going to fuck me out of even getting a sniff of retirement.
A pussy!?
I’m particularly pleased that all political blogs, from the extreme right to the extreme left, have come together to call Ryan a mendacious, spineless, greasy little worm.
Man, NOBODY likes the guy. Unity!
Maybe he’s got a future in food-testing. Because Paul Ryan will swallow anything. (And keep it down.)
I think by far the best summary of the topic of Paul Ryan is this tweet that parodied a real tweet by him. (More on Ryan’s original tweet and the response here.)
