If he went quietly into the night I would lose what little respect I...
Oh wait. I never had any respect for Paul Ryan. Fuck that nerd.
May you live in interesting times.
They precisely defended him on the grounds that his lack of experience wouldn't be a hindrance, and in fact was a positive (for reasons you mentioned, along with him being anti-establishment), and are now using it as a limitation for which he cannot be blamed.
You can't make this up.
Ryan doesn't even qualify as a nerd. I'd kill somebody to have an actual nerd in his place. A nerd might understand math, logic, economics, and many other things that Ryan is clueless on.
Paul Ryan is an Ayn Rand fetishist that masquerades as a "policy wonk" and a "budget expert" in a party of idiots and anti-intellectualists. He's Rand Paul with a little more spit and polish and less social libertarianism.
I thought Trump's response to his failure to get Obamacare repealed was already bad enough. After all, he stated his intention to stand by and watch Americans' health care explode while telling them to blame Democrats. That's pretty nuts. But here we go, deeper to a new low of cowardice. Can't wait to see the next round of approval ratings.
Anyone who hasn't watched the judge Jeanine video holy shit you must watch it.
The over the top theatrics and delivery is probably the only way they can try and manipulate their audience into keeping Trump support alive.
Reminds me of news reports from dystopian sci fi, or North Korea.
edit: Watching again, she looks drunk, but nails her script. Such a weird video.

Mine are smaller, so no problem at all on my end!
And further proof of cowardice is when he's met with any world leaders.
I don't support Trump. I didn't even vote for the man. But that doesn't stop me from supporting or agreeing with some of his policies and actions.

Yup.
That's not exactly true.
He is a complete moron that has no idea what he's doing and listens to evil assholes because they're the only people that support him due to the chaos he created.
That doesn't make him any better, but let's set the record straight.
Seriously?Look at the crap he did long before running for president.
I dont get why pretend like he does not want this stuff.
What? He was sued by the feds in his first business venture because he refused to rent apartments to black people. He took out a full page newspaper ad calling for the death of four young black men who weren't actually the perpetrators of a rape. He's spent his whole life since scamming poor people at every opportunity and leaving them to pick up the pieces because he knows they will have no other choice while he can just continue to skate along on his father's fortune. He's been scum his entire life.

No. Trump is a terrible human being AND a moron.
These seem to be the same people who vote for the candidates who run on the "Government is the problem" platform. Just think about that: They're basically interviewing these people, asking why they'd be a good fit for the job, and the answer is "The job is harmful and so is the franchise and it needs to be eliminated". And somehow, that gets you elected.
Also, I love how the job was too important to give to somebody with years and years of policy experience, and now it's "How's he supposed to be expected to be on his game 64 days in?" Shit, I wish I got that kinda leeway at my job.
Haha the best! "I can't do my job because I don't know shit about my job"
Fuck, every other person in his position would've been shreddeed multiple times by now.

Beat EviLore at pool.
Let them fight. This honestly is amazing.
Fuck me, now we're rewriting history to make Cheeto look like a man who's being taken advantaged of?
He has always been a piece of shit who believes every dumb thing that comes out of his mouth. He has always been racist, sexist, xenophobic, and loves taking advantage of poor and uneducated people to make a quick buck. He's also a terrible businessmen and negotatior, and has terrible taste in interior design.
Oh yeah, and he eats his steaks well done with ketchup.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This is 100% on Trump. Don't try to fool us with your turn it up to 11 voice Jeanine. You are the same person who blamed EVERYTHING on Obama and now you want to change the course just because your beloved pussy grabbing orange turd is failing.
Eat a Dick.

Let's not do this to ourselves again. Please.

listen to the mad man
Note: Paul Ryan didn't want to be Speaker of the house, wasn't the first choice, and only reluctantly agreed after the Freedom Caucus said they'd behave a little bit. Acting like Ryan is a sinister actor hell-bent on sabotaging the Republican Party couldn't be further from the truth -- he's a dedicated Republican who took one from the team by stepping in when the freedom caucus tossed Boehner, and whatever the fuck happened with McCarthy that he cancelled taking the job 5 minutes before the press conference announced him. And let it be noted that he also obediently ran as VP for Mitt Romney, a losing candidate no one thought would win.
So, yes, by all means toss him and get Speaker Steve Scalise or whoever the hell is dumb enough to take the worst fucking job on earth. Joe the Plumber? Does the speaker have to be a member of the house? Probably not, rules are dumb and nothing is true.

God, just thinking about the fucking nincompoops they have further down the list:
- Pat McHenry: Absolute zero, no charisma or leadership at all
- Kevin McCarthy: Was selected to be speaker after Boehner, quit the job five minutes before the press conference announcing him as speaker. Presumably someone has a video tape of him getting a gay abortion or supporting gun control or something.
- Jason Chaffetz: Literally looks like a baby wearing an adult's suit
- Kevin Brady: Surely too moderate if Paul Ryan is too moderate
- Justin Amash: Doesn't get along with Trump, is about 20 years too young
- Mark Walker: Is a friend of Trump's and is a hard-right idiot, but also got elected in 2014 so probably hasn't figured out how to vote yet, let alone how to be the speaker
- Pete Sessions: Big Trump fan, also famously said the Republican Party was like the Taliban, in a good way.
So how is it not Steve Scalise? Who, by the way, is an odious Trumpite and unrepentant moron who got famous talking about how he agreed with David Duke on the issues but had a better chance of winning (and do you really want a Louisianan, knowing that the whole state is filled with people who have fridges full of dead bodies and bribe money?)

Amazing.
Their entire party is filled with political opportunists who pretend to be in lock-step behind common principles but who will eat each other when push comes to shove.
I love it!

This is something someone with Russian ties would say... I'm on to you komrad.
He doesn't but he still has the confidence of most of the right of the party who voted him in and until there's a sizable turn by their constituents they're not going to risk angering their core voting blocks.

Begging people via Twitter to watch a crazy lady on Fox News make excuses for your failure of a first major legislation is truly the essence of a successful presidency!

Does anyone have enough votes to become speaker on the Republican side? Are we going to multiple ballots for the first time since the 20s? We also need to realize there is a real possibility the next speaker may become the next president.
It makes perfect sense for Trump to do this. Any politician would do this tbh. He can't seem like the problem here, his whole Spiel to his delusional fan base is being the trade master, the guy who gets things done. Throwing Ryan under the bus would be perfect for him and for Bannon's little chess game.

Such a thing has never been done before now, because no president has been so successful before now.
