âWhen I became speaker, one of the commitments I made to our members and to the American people was to open up this process," Ryan said. âIt means fewer predetermined outcomes.â
I meant this to be open for Republicans, but the Deomcrats are taking advantage of it? Dah!
The too hateful to do nothing do nothing CongressâŚ
House Republicans and âOrderâ, regular or not do not belong in the same sentence errr paragraph err bookâŚfine. Planet
Let me get this rightâŚItâs okay for the GOPers to add poison pills to the bill since they have a majority, but when a democrat throws in an amendment they donât agree with, itâs a major roadblock thrown up by those good for nothing democrats? YeahâŚthatâs what I thought.
Um ⌠okay, letâs see here: âIf the Democrats add an amendment (Poison Pill to the Republicans), then they are hijacking the process. When we (the God-fearing, child-fuckers) add an amendment, weâre following procedure.â
In a nut-shell, that is what Paul Ryan just said. What a jackass!
We have a huge majority in the House, but we canât get anything passed because of those pesky Democrats!
This is beautiful. Speaker Ryan opens up the process and allows more debate because his caucus is sharply divided on many issues. He forgot, however, that the house as a whole is also sharply divided.
Furthermore, democrats have realized that a few sentences in support of queer rights are enough to poison a bill, yet those same sentences are almost certainly considered good policy by a majority of Americans.
Mr. Speaker, might I offer some simple advice? Start from the center. Start with support of a large chunk of Democrats.
Its really not even that. His âregular orderâ makes it impossible for even republicans to get anything passed.
What Ryan is saying here is that he is committed to being the weakest Speaker in the history of the nation, that his party will be unable to pass anything of relevance, and to expect some massive clusterfucks this fall when its time to pass spending bills (which he has already blown through the deadlines on several).
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) conceded Thursday during his weekly press conference that sometimes an open amendments process means that legislation goes down in smoke.
âWhen I became speaker, one of the commitments I made to our members and to the American people was to open up this process," Ryan said. âIt means fewer predetermined outcomes.â
I had to look for it but
Ryan told House Republicans Tuesday that in the future, such amendments will have to be printed ahead of time. Current rules can allow amendments to be written and voted on in real time when spending bills are up for debate.
Itâs a procedural change that could allow the GOP majority to better manage politically problematic votes.
Save yourself some trouble Paul and blame your paymasters for forcing that bill to âflame upâ.
Thanks.
In the course of Republicanâs attempt to sabotage and derail it for their political gain.
point of order Mr. Chairman:
Itâs âup in smokeâ or âdown in flamesâ If youâre going to mix your metaphors do it like a wombat.
âThey were looking to sabotage the appropriations process. ⌠They are trying to stop the appropriations process in its tracks.â
LOL! Coming from the people who added anti-ACA amendments to almost every single piece of budgeting and appropriations legislation for like 6 years, and from the guy who missed all the deadlines for this budgeting season in the first place, thatâs fucking rich.
I think Iâd have to use Gold Bond for Plutocrat Paulyâs deserved pimpslapping, because I wouldnât be able to hold back and heâd need the menthol to soothe the handprints.
âIt means fewer predetermined outcomes.â
LOL. When you agreed to stop trying to muzzle the barking-mad wing of your caucus, you made the outcome entirely predictable: disorder; and an almost-total failure of the House to do its job.
Time to sue the Obama administration again for doing its job. That always seems to make the House GOP feel like they are accomplishing something.
Own your partyâs hatred and bigotry, Eddie Munster!
When I became Speaker the House was dysfunctional. In the short amount of time that I have been in charge I have transformed the House into a legislative body that is characterized by a breakdown of normal or beneficial relationships among its members.
Him and what army?!
