1 Like

On CNBC just now, Ryan1 was a real next-level game-changer.
ā€œWeā€™ve got lots of pots on the stove, but we can stick the landing on (tax reform)ā€¦ā€
Hereā€™s what you do Paul:
Carefully avoid the pots
Take the landing,
And Stick it.
Donā€™t stop there.

In other words, ā€œI donā€™t think about that guy at all.ā€

Some party leader Trumpā€™s turned out to be. Canā€™t even hold the attention of his own troops in the legislative branch. Weak! Bad (or sick)!

ā€œI donā€™t really take it as going after me,ā€ Ryan said on CNBC when asked about Trumpā€™s tweets.

Battered Republican Syndromeā„¢.

ā€œHeā€™s a good President, officer! He didnā€™t mean no harm! I got these black eyes when I fell asleep in the driveway, and he done backed over muh head with his pick-up truck! Heā€™s sleepinā€™ it off now, under the trailer, with his best dog, Skeeter.ā€

This is a candidate who is hoping to change the subject by attacking his opponent with attacks that have already been labeled by independent fact checkers as deceitful and untrue.

Heā€™s distorting the truth, heā€™s dividing the country, and heā€™s becoming more bitter and partisan by the day. Frankly, itā€™s kind of sad to see.

Heā€™s deluded himself into thinking that his so-called enemies are these crazy individualists who believe in some dog-eat-dog society when what heā€™s really doing is basically attacking people like entrepreneurs and stacking up a list of scapegoats to blame for his failures.

To my great disappointment, it appears that the politics of division are making a big comeback. Many Americans share my disappointment ā€“ especially those who were filled with great hope a few years ago

What we heard today was not fiscal leadership from our commander-in-chief, what we heard today was a political broadside from our campaigner-in-chief

Weā€™ve gotten kind of used to this sort of verbal tantrums from the president. To me itā€™s a little more petulance than presidential

Itā€™s a terrible record and he is not changing his tune. This was no Bill Clinton presidency, this was not one of those issues when the Republicans took the House in 2010 and he decided to moderate, to move to the middle. No, not this president. He doubled down

It looks like the president wants to move down the class warfare path. Class warfare will simply divide this country more. It will attack job creators, divide people and it doesnā€™t grow the economy

ā€“Paul Ryan on President Obama.

He does indeed have the capacity to criticize the president. For some reason he is choosing not to do so now.

Later on Thursday, Trump offered a $1,000,000 bounty to assassinate Paul Ryan. When reached for comment, Ryan refused to criticize Trump by name, and said he trusts Trump will pass his agenda of tax cuts for the rich even after he dies.

Party over country is Ryanā€™s mantra.

Paul Ryan allows the president to grab his pusillanimity. Heā€™s the Republicansā€™ president. They let him do it.

Well of course he isnā€™t taking it personally.

I suppose ā€œPaul Rā€ could mean Paul Rudd? Ryan is doing his best impression of Sergeant Schultz.

I doubt highly that, even if he did take it personally, anyone would care.

How nice to see that we have so many immature children running our government. Or should I say imbecilic children?

And, for the record, Ryan was wrong then too.

Have to wonder if, in the dead of night when heā€™s awake and unable to fall asleep due to the stress, Ryan doesnā€™t long for the old days when he could beat up the head of State relentlessly without penalty.

I bet Obama is sleeping just fine these days.

@caltg - donā€™t insult children like thatā€¦ :wink:

Trump: ā€œThe agreed upon fee was $1,000,000 but I wonā€™t pay that for your sloppy work. Iā€™ll give you $1,000 right now or you can take me to court.ā€

Of course heā€™s not taking it personally. Heā€™s taking it up the ass, like he always does from Trump.
