I don’t think this should be a very proud moment for democracy or for the people who staged these stunts."
facepalm¹⁰
Please tell me there’s a viable Democratic alternative in his district?
Hmm I think this is an excellent moment for democracy. And Pauly this sit -in would be easy to end. Vote on gun control!
Paul Ryans recent interest in democracy is encouraging!
Gee, Ryan, why don’t you send home frowny face stickers inside their lunch boxes. That’s what my son’s preschool used to do when he misbehaved in the eyes of the teacher…
And in what fucking job do you get to start your 4th of July vacation 2 weeks ahead of the holiday? Americans get ONE DAY off but not the part-timers with full pay in congress!
'Descending" into chaos? Really? I have four words for you Ryan - Green Eggs and Ham.
Also - yes, Ryan, it was a publicity stunt … and it worked. More like green eggs all over your face.
Ditto! He’s educated?
Ryan warned that the House was “reviewing everything” when it came to potentially taking recourse against Democrats for their sit-in.
Taking recourse against the minority party is not just bad for democracy, it is exquisitely Putinesque.
This is what democracy looks like, you putz.
Go ahead Paul and have John Lewis removed in handcuffs. Every congressional Dem can use the footage in their re-election ads.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You’re kidding me, right?
Poor Paul. His tenure as Speaker certainly hasn’t gone as he expected. I’m sure Boner is laughing his ass off.
Republicans block vote against gun management that 90% of Americans want. That is not a good sign for Democracy.
A “publicity stunt”? I’ll tell you what the publicity stunt is, Mr Speaker.
It’s your more than 60 attempts to repeal the ACA without any viable alternative, without any chance of success. It’s your repeated threats of government shutdown to force ACA repeal. It’s your fear-mongering hysteria when ebola outbreak hit West Africa. It’s your “buy more guns, buy more guns” appeal every time many lives were lost because of mass shooting
“Publicity stunt” is, in a nutshell, everything the GOP does.
"“I’m very worried about the precedent,” Ryan said. “When we see our
democracy descend in this way. It is not a good sign. It is not a good
precedent.”
You mean like a government shutdown ? Oh my bad.
