Support NeoGAF

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Next up, go all Saddam Hussein and start rounding up everyone who you think didn't do their job well; everyone to blame except for your stupid orange ass, right?

 

[Armaros]

I'm sure Bannon would love the job.

While technically possible, never going to happen, only house majority members can vote for speaker.

 

[Tranqueris]

If they remove Ryan they will never find a replacement.

Your time is now Kevin McCarthy! Aka the guy who had to drop out of the Speaker race last time because he was stupid enough to admit that the Benghazi hearings were meant to screw with Hillary's numbers.

While technically possible, never going to happen, only house majority members can vote for speaker.

Bannon: "Oh yeah? You're gonna vote for me or else! Man I definitely nailed this whole negotiating thing, I'm totally gonna be king some day."

 

[geomon]

can Paul Ryan just refuse to step down? That would be some gangster shit. Go out swingin'!

why am i rooting for paul ryan

Cause it effectively sticks it to Trump. It's just schadenfreude.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

A list of R's; Yuck

 

[Robdraggoo]

can Paul Ryan just refuse to step down? That would be some gangster shit. Go out swingin'!

why am i rooting for paul ryan

Becuase trump is so horrible we have sympathy for someone like Paul Ryan.

What a world

 

[Yekshemesh]

Who the fuck do they want? They were barely able to get Ryan to take the job.

No one, Trump doesn't have the support in his own party to oust Ryan. I guarantee the rank and file Republicans blame this on Trump more than Ryan. He's just trying to save face as much as possible. Absolute clown, everyone is a fault except him.

 

[metalslimer]

What the fuck at the absolving of Trump? Sell him a bill of goods? So he didn't read it?

 

[Phased]

I mean people have been saying he was gonna use this as ammo against Ryan from the start so it's no surprise.

What will be interesting is to see if he can actually pull it off. Trump so far has demonstrated quite well how little power a President actually has beyond photo ops.

 

[Shamrock7r]

I dare say judge Jeanine is a bigger crazed nut than even Hannity

 

[Volimar]

John Boehner was a real piece of shit, but at least he was smart enough to get out when the getting was good.

 

[StopMakingSense]

While technically possible, never going to happen, only house majority members can vote for speaker.

Speaker is elected by the full House.

 

[old manatee]

I heard that Paul Ryan will be choosing Judge Judy to be his surrogate.

 

[Thug Waffle]

i'm just watching the video now... and holy shit this is a fucking satire come to life.

"I want to be CLEAR that this is NOT on President Trump..."

 

[TheCochese]

Here I thought that a Trump loss would ruin the Republican party. Turns out a win is doing an even better job.

 

[Blader]

Ryan is obviously too spineless to fight back, so I assume he will indeed step down asap.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Speaker is elected by the full House.

Danny, Uncle Joey, Uncle Jesse, DJ, Stephanie, and somehow Michelle gets two votes.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I dare say judge Jeanine is a bigger crazed nut than even Hannity

That is what I thought. The level of kissing ass is just surreal to watch a news anchor give someone.

 

[dskillzhtown]

So now Ryan will flip on Trump?

This is crazy. This is the freaking country being run like a reality show.

 

[Magus1234]

Ryan needs to come out and tell Donald he needs to step down.

 

[Do Better]

Who would Trump possibly want as the replacement? Is there a popular enough ass kisser in the House to get the votes needed?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Ryan needs to come out and tell Donald he needs to step down.

Can't Paul start up impeachment? I'd be careful if I was Trump.

 

[giga]

What a time to be alive.

Paul Ryan can literally whip enough votes to start your impeachment, dems included.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

This is glorious. GOP House is a big fat mess - and the country is better for it.

Ryan staying in is like a wounded duck. It also likely further damages further political aspirations of his. If he steps down, nobody is going to want to inherit this mess - because they know it would ruin them even more. And he'd still be damaged anyway.

Bohener has to be on cloud nine right about now for noping out of the speakership. GOP is full of batshit insane politicians that will go for nothing less than watching the country burn. There aren't enough GOP moderates that at least want to govern to get stuff done.

And they've shown little indication that they are capable of working with Democrats. Partly I'm sure because many of those proposals will be even too liberal for them.

And Trump? He's going to get shit for this anyway.

 

[Torokil]

Making way for Speaker of House Steve King.

 

[UrokeJoe]

So now Ryan will flip on Trump?

This is crazy. This is the freaking country being run like a reality show.

It's pretty sad.

 

[Arksy]

Pardon my ignorance, but who the fuck is Judge Jeanine?

Edit: Say she's a commentator, is she a member of Trump's team? Why on earth would he say to watch her at 9pm? He knew what would be said. This is absurd.

 

[DrForester]

So, I seem to remember Ryan being reluctant to take the Speaker's role years ago. Was that considered legit, or theatrics? Is he the type of guy to go like Boehner and just say "fuck it" and leave?

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

They've had seven years to come up with something even remotely passable.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Ryan needs to come out and tell Donald he needs to step down.

Tomorrow on MTP, I'm sure..😏

 

[RPGCrazied]

Pardon my ignorance, but who the fuck is Judge Jeanine?

Fox News. That should be enough.

 

[BeforeU]

Ryan needs to come out and tell Donald he needs to step down.

[Hazmat]

"Paul Ryan calls for independent special prosecutor to investigate Trump's Russia ties."

 

[ThaiGrocer]

Pardon my ignorance, but who the fuck is Judge Jeanine?

Look into her eyes but not too long.

 

[Slime]

Who would Trump possibly want as the replacement? Is there a popular enough ass kisser in the House to get the votes needed?

Nunes?

 

[Armaros]

It was real, remember the heir-apparent first dropped because HE also didn't want it and
Ryan was the next obvious choice being a rising star and former VP running mate. house Republicans spent time persuading him to do it for the party.

 

[Fat4all]

No one expected a businessman to completely understand the nuances, the complicated ins and outs of Washington and its legislative process.

 

[Arksy]

He's not a businessman any more, he's the fucking president. What a shit show.

 

[Do Better]

Nunes?

That got a real life chuckle out of me.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I think it was legit. If he goes, the GOP House goes further into disarray.

Would he step away? Not sure, though. But I'm sure he knows he's fucked no matter what he does. Along with the rest of the GOP - including Trump.

 

[Slayven]

So now Ryan will flip on Trump?

Ryan won't flip on trump publically, but in the back rooms......

So, I seem to remember Ryan being reluctant to take the Speaker's role years ago. Was that considered legit, or theatrics? Is he the type of guy to go like Boehner and just say "fuck it" and leave?

The first guy had to step down because he said they were hounding Clintion for the hell of it

 

[Xe4]

Too much of a coward to say it directly. Figures.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Paul Ryan isn't just going to walk away. The man still has his keg party dreams of screwing over poor people, and you don't just let that go.

He swore an oath.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

I was about to post this as well.

 

[DOWN]

Trump spoke to Brannon, Bannon spoke to Jeanine and thus she can say she didn't speak to trump

 

[Aselith]

"I want to be clear," she concluded. "This is not on President Trump. No one expected a businessman to completely understand the nuances, the complicated ins and outs of Washington and its legislative process. How would he know which individuals upon whom he would be able to rely?"

That's what he was elected to do, idiot

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

It won't happen but the thought of Ryan striking back at Donald is just too amazing.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

"I want to be clear," she concluded. "This is not on President Trump. No one expected a businessman to completely understand the nuances, the complicated ins and outs of Washington and its legislative process. How would he know which individuals upon whom he would be able to rely?"

Why the fuck are you a president then if you lack the understanding of the nuances of Washington and the legislative process?

If this was Obama or anyone else, they would be howling over why he doesn't know the nuances.

 

[Vestal]

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT..

THEY HAVE BOTH HOUSES AND THE WH, YET THEY CAN"T DO SHIT!!


GLORIOUS!!!!

 

[Autodidact]

What a time to be alive.

Paul Ryan can literally whip enough votes to start your impeachment, dems included.

Uh-huh. Impeachment requires only a simple-majority vote in the House. Nancy Pelosi would make damn sure every Democrat would vote for it. They'd only need to get twenty-some-odd Republicans on board.

Of course, I say "twenty-some-odd" as thought it would be easy. Simple, maybe, but not easy... unless he keeps fucking around with his own party.
