You stupid little suck. ‘Confusing’? Honest to God, Ryan, do you ‘stand’ for ANYTHING? EVER?

You mean no one knew what vetting was already being done?

This executive order was just a PR stunt.

What a load of utter balderdash! He should be embarrassed by his attempt to defend this. Sally Yates was on solid ground. Those 7 nations? how were they selected? It looks arbitrary and capricious to everyone; they weren’t selected on the basis of any historic source for terrorists, that’s for sure. And then to block green card holders, visa holders and refugees? the very people who have been thoroughly vetted? this is an embarrassment to the country, and it might actually be a source of danger to us and our armed forces, as our vital Islamic allies lose faith in us.

You don’t need a weatherman to know which way Trump blows

Would someone please get Lyin’ Ryan on a spine implant list?

Same thing you flayed Obama for when Obamacare came out. What a hypocritical pipsqueak.

My sincere wish is that when the Trump regime goes down in flames–as it will, sooner rather than later–that Ryan’s ongoing cheerleading for its immoral policies will destroy his future political career.

Confusing? How about illegal, immoral, and unAmerican?

Oh that was sealed long ago when he was elected Speaker and forced to be a leader in a dysfunctional party. All he’s doing at this rate is pleading, saying “C’mon guys, I need him to stick around long enough so I can create a capitalist utopia. PLEEEEEEEEEASE???”

There’s something seriously wrong with Stephen Miller.
Watching him during an EO signing in the Oval, I’m convinced he had an absence seizure (petit mal) as he stood behind and to the left of Trump.

I like this reasoning. Let’s apply it more. For example, I agree with Trump that cybersecurity is important, especially in power distribution.
Let’s take all power plants off line for a few days and do some checking.
Better safe than sorry!.
Oh, and don’t give any notice, because then the terrorists win!

@mantan Not a “petit mort”, or orgasm?

Now we know what Lyin’ Ryan really is!

Of course he defended the travel ban. Ryan and Trump have the same values and view of the world. Ryan is an intellectual and ideological brother of Trump. No one should be surprised that Paul Ryan is gleefully goose stepping with the Trump/Bannon regime.

Bend over a little more, Mr. Ryan. He’s not spineless, he’s just following orders from the top. What could possibly go wrong?

A pause? Caught outside the country unable to return, separated from family for THREE MONTHS is more than a pause.

Also, there are 100,000 German citizens of Iranian descent, some of them with government jobs, who now can’t travel to the U.S.
