Discussion: Paul Ryan: Trump's '2nd Amendment' Line Sounds Like A 'Joke Gone Bad'

“I’ve been a little busy today. I heard about this Second Amendment quote. It sounds like just a joke gone bad. I hope he clears it up very quickly. You should never joke about something like that,” Ryan said at a press conference after winning his Republican primary. “I didn’t actually hear the comments, I only heard about those comments.”

Alice: “Ralph Kramden, did you hear what Donald Trump said about Clinton and Second Amendment advocates?”
Ralph: “Humanah-humanah-humanah!”

So, Mr. Speaker, if Hillary Clinton said that the only way to deal with Donald Trump was to resort to Second Amendment solutions, you and all your Republican colleagues just be laughing it off as a joke, right? Fox News would just shrug their shoulders, right?

Republicans are all fucking disingenuous pieces of shit.

I actually agree that it was meant as a tasteless joke, but guess what–it doesn’t matter. The president doesn’t get to make stupid, tasteless jokes about killing, maiming, torturing people. If, god-forbid, Donny Douchebag, were to get elected, off-handed comments like that could cause an international crisis if directed at the wrong person. Keep digging Mr. Ryan.

Cowardly little basta is lyin ryan…Wonder how he would feel if that ‘joke’ was leveled against him? Gutless would be hiding under the bed screaming for the secret service to jail the thug drumpf.

Much in the same way that a pogrom is a joke gone bad.

BTW, Trump is insisting that it wasn’t a joke, that it was an exhortation to Second Amendment advocates to vote.
Back to you, Rep. Ryan.

Yes, we expect our leaders to make jokes about people taking guns and shooting a sitting president over policy differences.

Jeebus. Ryan once again proves there’s nothing Trump can do to end his support.

The Cold-Eyed Granny Starver would bail on Trump in a second if Donald declared that Social Security should never be privatized. That would be bad. Threatening assassination is no big deal.

I try to make jokes all the time. Over the years, I’ve gotten pretty good at using my brain to filter out jokes that don’t work or are really inappropriate. I think most people develop those filters as they get older. (My filter was not so good as a teenager, and that became a problem at times, which is why that filter improved.). It is like Trump doesn’t have any filter at all. Whatever thought enters into his stream of consciousness is spewed out of his word hole. Just imagine what he will do in a one on one presidential debate with Clinton…
