Hope it’s true because if the world ends this still won’t have been an entirely bad day.

When Ryan announces this himself I will cheer. In the meantime saying silent prayer than he does.

Turned out to be an empty suit.

Now that he is retiring lets see if he follows other retirees in discovering his spine. ( I am not holding my breath)

He probably wants to monetize his connections in the few remaining months they have some value.

Yeah. “Policy wonk.” Turns out he only ever had one policy, and that was give the rich people everything because I read this book one time.

I seriously doubt that McCarthy would be elected Speaker. While it’s true that Rump seems to like him, he’s really incompetent (which, undoubtedly, Rump likes but the remaining Rethugs might not).

I would say that Scalise is closest to getting elected Speaker.

If it’s true, I do like that he’s holding off on the firm decision long enough to freeze the campaigns of other Republicans for that district.

Yeah, his reputation preceded him and it turned out to be bullshit. The mainstream media fawning all over this mook, and his proposed budget out there for what(?) three, four years for all to see. Louis XIV would have been proud.

I don’t think Paulie is done in politics. My guess is he is trying to get away from Trump’s taint and the impossible task of being speaker for a bunch of nut jobs and will be back after a break to run for another office.

Poor Paulie–that was no job for an invertebrate anyway.
