“White House consumed by paranoia and mistrust: ‘Everybody actually is out to get everyone else’”

That whole ‘power’ thing is pretty seductive isn’t it Paul?

“Ancient history” sure seems to have a different meaning when applied to Paul Ryan than it does when applied to Hillary Clinton.

My guess is he loses his Presidential succession spot when he becomes Minority leader after the GOP loses the House in 2018. :wink:

Is Speaker Ryan saying that now that he and President Trump have “joined forces”, he no longer has any problem with the President’s “grab them by the pussy” comments?
That seems to be the case.

I gotta say, I’m gobsmacked by just how badly this is going for the GOP. I knew there would be disagreements based on the issues they had when they controlled both Houses under Pres. Obama. They fought the ACA for 8 years; you’d think that there would have been more of a nod towards reality in the event they got the WH.

Nope. If Josh is right about health care being the ultimate area that ends up unravelling them, then Ryan may find himself in a bind when it comes to re election. But even then, Ryan would land on his feet going straight into lobbying. If anything, that would make his life much easier.

Oh look, Ryan and Trump’s bromance. He’s just proudly tied Trump around his neck. It goes pretty well with your suit, Paulie…

That statement was ploy during the campaign by Lyin’ Ryan. I suspect that he quieted down after being richly rewarded for keeping his mouth shut by Putin, Russian intelligence and the Trump Foundation.

So Paul, did Donald grab you by the cheese?

All part of the destruction of the administrative state that Bannon is pushing for worldwide. He wants chaos, and lots of it.

I think that after this debacle, there’s a good chance that Ryan faces a rebellion by the feral trumper wing of the House and they win. Up until now, the so called “Freedom Caucus” has been placated with Ryan giving them lip service. And Ryan has done what he could to keep them in line and keep his position as Speaker. If this goes down as I think it will, they’ll be gunning for a scalp and probably more than willing to take his even if it means they can’t agree on a new Speaker.

Once again, the luckiest man in DC remains John Boner.

Apologies to Ozzy…

Finished with mein Fuhrer 'cause he couldn’t help me with my mind
People think he’s insane because he’s tweeting crap all the time
All day long he thinks of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I’ll lose my mind if I don’t find something to pacify
Can you help me, occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can’t find
I can’t see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
