Discussion: Ryan: Author Of NYT Op-Ed Is 'Living In Dishonesty'

…and Paul Ryan has much personal experience “Living in Dishonesty.” Most of his adult life has been spent trying to live in a “Randian World” that is only a fictional existence.

Holy cow, Paul Ryan actually read something timely?

Heh.

And right on cue the MSM is off on a tangent searching for the name of the cowardly author.

People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones…but since you did Ryan here’s a brick in your windows and spray paint on your front door - caviling, lying, coward and traitor lives here. I looked the other way when America needed a leader.

There’s a waiting list for new members subject to deaths, resignations, or incapacitation of existing members. There was a brief flurry of anticipation when Scalise was shot. (Yes, I’m so out of line.)

The article was a self-exonerating extra-constitutional argument for the status quo.

A true patriot? Not even close.

Keep trying to wash your hands, Pontius Paul. You can never wash off the filth you’ve been using to grime our Democracy.

"If you’re not interested in helping the President, you shouldn’t work for the President.”

Variations on that theme have applied throughout history.

 "If you’re not interested in helping Senator McCarthy, you shouldn’t work for Senator McCarthy.”


" If you’re not interested in helping Hitler, you shouldn’t work for Hitler."

Add your own.

Paul Ryan, remember the U.S. Constitutional oath you took? Who’s being dishonest? Pot, call kettle ASAP!

Paul Ryan clearly has his priorities mixed up. The primary loyalty is supposed to be to the constitution, not the individual. How is a fair minded person in Agent Orange’s supposed to react to actions by the president that are clearly beyond the pale? I don’t know all the details of what harebrained inclinations they might have softened but these folks seem to have their priorities straight: National Interest Over Partisan Interest.

We don’t have to wonder where Ryan’s priorities lie given how he’s enabled Devin Nunes shenanigans for so long. Ryan has clearly violated the constitutional notion of the role co-equal branches serving as checks and balances on each other.

Ryan: let me tell you something - ALL Republican supporters/enablers of Trump are “living in dishonesty”. What happened to love of country and oath to the Constitution? It’s time for both you and Trump to get out of Washington.

Quite encouraging to see the scorn directed at this anon person and that people are on to him/her. There is no residual, ‘true,’ or ‘deep’ GOP that can safely emerge from the rubble of Trumpism. There is no meaningful moral or political distinction between Trump and the Republican party. He is their man, enacting their policies–on immigration, climate, corruption, elections, national security. The GOP does not get to crawl out from the under the wreckage with talk about how they saved the country from their own guy, who they elected and supported and to a very large extent directed. Democrats must unleash the basic narrative, to be repeated at every opportunity, that the Republican party is unfit to govern and is simply not to be trusted with power at any level, not now, not for a long time.

Notice no one is wading too deep into the weeds as to Ryan’s replacement as Speaker.

Oh, right, make it about the staffers’ “dishonesty” and not about the fact that a clearly fucked-in-the-head imbecile has his finger on the nuclear trigger.

I’m sorry, but “living in dishonesty?” I know Ryan isn’t the brightest bulb in the string, and coining a phrase is way too much for him. But this isn’t accepted usage.

Maybe he meant “living in sin”?
