Blaming somebody else for something he was supposed to facilitate.
Who says heâs not Presidential Timber.

Now, donât start whining, Paulie. Whereâs that Real American sticktoitiveness? Rome wasnât destroyed in a day.
I can not remember a Speaker of the House who so frequently sounded as if we a passive observer of the political process and not sitting in one of the most powerful political offices in the country. Weak, Paul, weak.
Nice observation; goes along with Trump, who doesnât seem to think he has to lift one of those tiny fingers to get his way. Also, this Ryan piece makes me think that McConnellâs on a death watch ⌠which really isnât fair. Getting cretinous Neil Gorsuch on the Court was a far bigger accomplishment than Paulie will ever claim.
I agree he is an extremely weak Speaker. But the observation I am taking away from this is he is once again, knifing McConnell in the back,
He of course wonât do it in the over the top, brash way the Trump does, but since the keg party for the House, Ryan has been consistently blaming McConnell for everything. Even when McConnell tried to tell his people that the âskinnyâ repeal was just a mechanism to get to a joint conference with the House, Ryan wasted no time in announcing that the House would pass it as is to avoid such a conference, thus sabotaging McConnellâs efforts.
I suppose it was inevitable. Ryan has to know he is incompetent, and saw the opening that Trump was making for him to blame all of his inadequacies on McConnell. And he took it.
Good call. Makes sense.
Yeah, well Paulie-Boy, itâs pretty frustrating to watch a fraud like you in the Speakerâs chair once occupied by Sam Rayburn and Tip OâNeil.
Itâs frustrating to watch a Speaker of the House as weak and dishonest as Ryan, but Iâve learned to live with it.
@daveyjones64 The Trump-Cornyn-Moore-Ryan Non-Aggression Pact is a strange thing, and when it ends it will get ugly/uglier.
Maybe itâs because your âbillsâ are so stupid and not well thought out PaulyâŚjust sayinâ.
The speaker said that the Senate is hamstrung by its need to confirm Trumpâs nominees and by its filibusters, which Ryan has advocated eliminating.
Dude, you canât even control your own House, so why not shut your pie hole? Good luck with the next debt ceiling vote.
If Wienermobile Boy had paid attention in Poli Sci 101, heâd have learned that the Senate exists as the cooling saucer for the cups of hot piss he serves up.
Gosh he saw nothing wrong with McConnell torpedoing bill after bill Nancy passed through the House from 2009-2010.
Love watching them throw each other under the bus. MAGA! We win!
Oh, that pesky little fucking Constitution, eh, Little Munster?
In a certain perspective, it almost looks like Ryan is merely trying to limp along and deflect as much personal responsibility as possible until 2018, when he expects to lose the Speaker position to Pelosi. And leave the House in as big of a mess as he possibly can.
But has Ryan admitted Ayn Rand is dead?
From cnn.com:
" A day after Congressâ last-ditch attempt to repeal Obamacare failed, Trump said he may soon sign an executive order on health care that would affect millions of people.
âIâll probably be signing a very major executive order where people can
go out, cross state lines, do lots of things and buy their own health
care, and that will be probably signed next week,â he told reporters
Wednesday. âItâs being finished now. Itâs going to cover a lot of
territory and a lot of people. Millions of people.â "
âŚ
I call that âExecutive over-reachâ.
WellâŚdidnât the repubs do that exact same thing to Obama in a situation like this?
Hmmmm, I have some recollection that this approach was violently opposed by the insurance companies (but may be wrong, so correct me if I am)âŚ
It was also tried and failed miserably.
