Either Ryan is another useful idiot trying to rehabilitate Trump or he is the stupidest, least self-aware politician who ever lived. He received Social Security benefits when his dad died when Ryan was 16. Does Ryan understand the reference to the “third rail”?

Fuck that “Zombie-eyed Granny starver” (h/t Charles Pierce). Another Ayn Rand acolyte.

the 44th POTUS

I suppose that bloated sack of shit is trying to do a repeat of Grover Cleveland with non-consecutive terms, but as the treasonous scum likes to remind us, he was 45th by most people’s reckoning.

Seems that the ol’ Ayn Rand aficionado has a learning disorder.

Trump probably stopped him because he felt entitled.

If you’re suggesting severed hamstrings and disembowelment then I don’t want to hear anything about it.
BTW, this is the first time I’ve thought of Eddie Munster in years

Ryan is a pseudo-intellectual weenie who should keep his hands far from my future social security and medicare benefits.

During the October deposition, Benjamin N. Dictor, an attorney for the plaintiffs, asked Trump whether any protesters were found to have had tomatoes in their possession during the Cedar Rapids rally. Trump replied that “it worked out that nothing happened.”

Dictor then asked Trump: “Is it your expectation that if your security guards see someone about to throw a tomato that they should knock the crap out of them?”

Trump replied in the affirmative, noting that he expected his security team to use physical force in such cases.

“Yeah, I think that they have to be aggressive in stopping that from happening,” Trump said. “Because if that happens, you can be killed if that happens. … To stop somebody from throwing pineapples, tomatoes, bananas, stuff like that, yeah, it’s dangerous stuff.”

Not sure how that can be possible. Why, just this morning . . .

Never underestimate the sheer physical cowardice of the Rumsfelds, Jeff Clarks, Trumps, etc of this world. They have to project “tough guy” because they are deeply, deeply afraid. All the time.

When Ryan and TFG are in their graves they will be like Limbaugh, remembered for nothing of value, neither of them mourned.

Just reading that first sentence in the WaPo inset immediately brought this to mind, even before I saw you had imbedded the video.

“I didn’t do enough damage,” Ryan said. “I could’ve hurt a lot more people, but couldn’t get it done. And that hurts me.”

It could have escalated to cans of soup, and amid the nightmare world such a holocaust would leave in its aftermath, the living would envy the dead.
