Discussion: Ryan: We Didn't Learn Anything New From Comey Hearing

Trying to find the right onomatopoeia for the sound of suction-to-adhesion. Because today - between this statement “clearing” Trump, and his fawning over how Trump’s pitching on the Hill will close the deal on DonTCare - I think Ryan, sometimes reluctant to embrace Trump, has just gotten glued - and glued the whole damn GOP in the House to Trump. The sound of moving from reluctant acquiescence to whole-hearted embrace.

When Trump meets his political demise - Ryan and much of the House GOP will be shuffled out of the door (electorally) as well.

Unless he already knew all about it
In that case he is at the very least an enabler

Exactly. I think that the series of ‘coincidences’ that Schiff brilliantly set out yesterday should be an open and shut case, for political purposes–and he didn’t even mention the most politically incriminating fact, which is the inexplicable and uniquely consistent Trump policy to undermine NATO and the EU and to promote the interests of Russia at the expense of the interests of the USA.

But even Schiff undermined himself by suggesting that it could all be a coincidence.

I’m not suggesting that Ds should go into a kind of futile hyperbolic rage about this stuff–although it becomes increasingly apparent that hyperbole seems to work with the masses and should not be dismissed as a rhetorical strategy. I’m suggesting that the narrow idea of ‘evidence’ has to be abandoned and that a political language has to be adopted that actually reflects reality.

Best part of this relationship is that Dump’s tiny fingers fit perfectly into Lyin’s ear canals so all Lyin has to do is shout “la la la la la” so he doesn’t hear a thing.

Oh, I know one thing we learned, Saint Pauli Boy: we learned you are in a river in Egypt.
And a little OT, but here’s a GOP representative from Michigan who has about as much smarts as Ryan. I do not think he is long for this political world:

Oh, and you left out that Dump’s team - at least Flynn, Sessions, and Kushner - were meeting with the Russians.

au contraire Rep Ryan - We did learn Trump’s team was being investigated by the FBI for illegally colluding with the Russians to throw our national election. That sounds like espionage and treason to me and jail time for Trump’s colluders and if Trump is as dirty as we suspect, impeachment for the Orange Narcissist…

Yes, Mr. Ryan, please strap yourself ever tighter to the anchor of the Trump Carnival Cruise as its 37% approval rating sinks even further after the Russia hearing revelations, especially after confirmation that he undoubtedly did slander and libel Barack Obama with unsubstantiated allegations of illegal wiretapping. Give me your address, Paul. I’ll send you a few extra rolls of duct tape.

Did you see David Jolly’s moment on CNN, where he called out Trump for being intellectually too limited for the job? This might be a watershed moment. Whether Trump is mentally ill or not, or whether he has some early dementia, is difficult to determine and makes people shy way; on the other hand, he really is obviously a moron. This might be a good theme for the coming months.

Forgive me for being vindictive - something I absolutely shine at, BTW! - but I REALLY hope that smug despicable motherfucker Jared Kushner and his talking blow-up sex doll wife Ivankadonk (“The Junk In America’s Trunk!”) get crushed by this. This prick constantly makes a big deal of his devout religiosity and adherence to his Jewish faith (like his phony Friday night Shabbat crap, when rabbis say there is no reason that he can’t be part of any weekend White House decision making) while excusing anti-Semites and racists in the Trump administration, especially Bannon. Fuck you, Jared, you concentration camp kapo motherfucker.

I can see Paul Ryan in about a week: “Russia? What’s Russia? There’s a country called Russia? I thought it was just a salad dressing. And what’s a Trump? There’s someone called a ‘Trump’ in the White House? I thought that was just a term used in bridge and pinochle games.”

There is a lower place in Hell for the aiders and abettors in this drama and Eddie is the first to enter into it. Real palpable moral degenerate thy name is Ryan.
Who is this royal “We” you speak of Kemosabe? And fuck you and the horse you rode into town on.

Well, factually speaking, Ryan didn’t learn anything “new”; all this is old news to him and his inner circle of crooks and liars.
