The White House is burning and THIS COWARD is AWOL.

[Stinky The Clown]

What will it take, Ryan? Part of YOUR JOB is to protect against this shit. The president is FUCKING NUTS.

[gademocrat7]

1. With you, Stinky.

[RKP5637]

2. Ryan has never been too apt in the mental stability department either IMO. n/t

[maddiemom]

23. Most OVERATED political figure of the century, so far.

[LovingA2andMI]

29. And a Ayn Ryan Useless....

Tool! Donating to Randy Bryce and hope he beats the socks of Paul Ryan.

[njhoneybadger]

3. That coward is in a corner somewhere curled up in the fetal position clutching Atlas Shrugged

[dchill]

4. He is NOT THERE to do his job.

He's there to UNDO it.

[Upthevibe]

11. Bingo! The Republican way: Dismantle Government. It's sickening. n/t

[dchill]

12. Objectivist idealism. Thanks, Ayn.

[Beartracks]

48. #1. Suck at government. #2. Claim government doesn't work.

Kinda like...

#1. Suck at science. #2. Claim science is stupid.

5. Grand Weasel Ryan

[YessirAtsaFact]

15. Grand Imperial Weasel Ryan, if you please

[Angry Dragon]

31. better

[RKP5637]

6. How the US fell captive to this cast of characters is gut wrenching, to say the least.

What is worse, are those loyal to these destructors.

[ProudLib72]

7. Is it just me or does Ryan always look like a scolded puppy?

I think he must have learned to make that face as a child when he got caught stealing cookies and candy on a daily basis.

[dchill]

13. Oh. I thought he looked like a cud.

[ProudLib72]

14. Like what a cow chews?

If we are going there, why not just a cow pie?

[dchill]

16. Because the cud is so reusable?

[calimary]

30. Yeah. Something like that, for certain.

Notice how often we see him with his face tilted down, so he kinda looks up at you with rather large open eyes? And you see a fair amount of whites at the bottom of each iris? One of those "aw shucks" or "who, innocent little MEEEEEE?" looks. Somebody. long ago, maybe his grandma or some auntie, must have made a comment along the lines of - "don't you look at me with those big blue eyes!" A comment which would have accompanied his having just been caught for doing something naughty.

I can't help but suspect that. He's flashed that look way too often as an adult. Seems to be instinctive.

The same way trump usually stands looking straight ahead with his head tilted up so his chin sticks out. That body language can tell you things that they don't want you to know about them. In trump's case, it's a bully posture.

I once worked with a younger colleague who was turning out to be a really ruthless schemer for such a newcomer. When I first met this person, I couldn't help notice that same stance. WAY confident and almost in-yer-face, with the head tilted so the chin stuck out. I felt like I was being challenged - it was quite tangible, aggressive. I couldn't help the feeling that this newbie had decided I was in the way and needing to be knocked off. There later came a situation in which I'd really scored big. Unavoidably so. Ran into same individual who, when I passed, struck a radically different pose: chin tilted down, looking up at me through the eyebrows. The stance was definitely NOT in-yer-face. Decidedly much more meek, even submissive.

Watch the body language. It can tell you a lot.

[maddiemom]

37. Trump sticks his chin(s) out to hide the double chins/wattles.

The bags under his eyes get worse all the time. He literally does look like "death warmed over." It's amazing that he manages to hang on, considering his lifestyle. Pence should be another involved with any Trump chicanery as well; but it only gets worse from there. If we can last another eight months or so, we should make some major changes, and get rid of the electoral college (doesn't deserve caps). Trump's actions are no surprise to anyone who's casually paid attention over the years. He didn't just spring up from The Apprentice, except maybe for his deplorables. He's EXACTLY the excuse for the electoral college existing,and it, ideally, wouldn't have even had to override the popular vote.

[debsy]

33. I'm going with Eddie Munster, rather than the puppy. Puppies are too cute...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Munster#/media/File:Eddie_Munster.JPG

[FiveGoodMen]

44. Except when he passes a draconian health care bill

BOY, did he look happy about that!

[bdamomma]

8. You lay down with dogs

you get fleas. You don't hear shit from McConnell either. WTF, they want to see this ass take down the country, Russia has infiltrated our power plants and communications? I mean aren't we better than this??

We are seeing the dismantling of our country, we can't wait for November.

[Atticus]

9. There's a lot less to him than meets the eye. nt

[nolabear]

10. Pleeeeeeze let me last long enough to read the history

that will come out of this. Because this, right here, is some shit.

[Heartstrings]

17. Hope he's in Janesville, WI on 3-25

When students will march from Madison to his office in Janesville....it's being called The 50 Mile March....

He'll hide somewhere I'm pretty sure....that's what heartless, soulless cowards and assholes do best.

[czarjak]

18. Thinks cheating is winning...

Jesus doesn’t like that, Pauly, look it up.

[Blue_true]

19. I have worked with people like that before.

They say all the right things about honor and integrity. But let the shit hits the fan, their spines turn to jelly. Paul Ryan is one of them.

[Enoki33]

20. Ryan is much much worse than being AWOL. He has systematically

enabled dotard. Paul Ryan is part of the conspiracy. He engineered the betrayal of the House investigation.

[drmeow]

39. Exactly

He poured the gasoline and gave Trump the strip to strike the match!

[Still In Wisconsin]

21. Ryan's a worm. He's always been a worm.

He's never had a spine, or stood on principle, ever.

[blue-wave]

22. Time to clean the house

send a few bucks (only if you can) to this guy. https://www.randybryceforcongress.com/



He's gonna give (Ayn) Rand lovin' Ryan a run the likes Ryan has never seen. It's time to take this house seat too!!

[NoMoreRepugs]

24. That is a face for punching.

[errant boy]

25. AWOL and

A-HOLE!

[C Moon]

26. I think Putin set these slime bags up, and they are afraid to stand up for their own country now.

I'll never forget the way Ryan was 100% against Trump, then (from out of nowhere), Ryan, with a scared look on his face, announced he was standing behind Trump. It was very strange.

[llmart]

34. Maybe he got the call from Carmine too!

[democratisphere]

27. Why isn't Ryan giggling and teeheeing now?!

Jackass!

[Hassler]

28. Run against Lyin rAyn and his smug mug and you'll win in a landslide.

[JDC]

32. He's always been a coward.

[NastyRiffraff]

35. Paul Ryan isn't interested in protecting the country

Not even a little bit. His only interest is protecting himself and his political career. He'll do anything, lie about anything, debase himself to anyone, to protect that.

[VOX]

36. Never trust a guy with no forehead who thinks a Costco membership is a dealmaker.

Especially a no-forehead guy like Paul Ryan. He's got two settings: destroy humanity or do nothing.

[Bettie]

38. As if he'd even think of stopping it

he's got a lot of money coming in and he likes the chaos, he and Yertl live for this stuff.

I mean, they get to destroy peons' lives AND watch some idiot make a fool of himself every day while telling Dems to suck it because they currently hold all the cards.

Not for long though. Not much longer.

[LiberalLovinLug]

40. He still feels he can milk this longer

Got his tax bill. But there is indications that their is another even more draconian tax bill in the works. Cuts to social services, judicial appointments, destroying net neutrality etc. And he can do a lot more damage if all the headlines are on the Orange Buffoon. He'll keep going until he literally cannot.


I predict the day after Trump is indicted....then again maybe not until he is actually found guilty.....Ryan will come before the cameras wide-eyed and blurb out something like "I had no idea! Who could have foreseen this? Of course if we had known the extent of this we would have impeached him by now!"

[onecent]

41. You'll NEVER BE A PRESIDENT, so let's get rid of the Russians....

and you too......

[Achilleaze]

42. Shame. Will not take a stand for the USA

Puts the freaking KGOP tax cuts for the rich over the safety and well-being of the USA.

TOTAL TOADY FINK OUT, RYAN.

You fail at American citizenship. You fail at doing your job.

[eShirl]

43. The zombie-eyed granny starver.

(per Charles Pierce)

[Az_lefty]

45. Guys like Ryan have no concept of leadership or responsibility

[kentuck]

46. He and all Republicans had a choice.

They could choose to stay with Trump and and keep their base secure. Or they could choose to distance themselves from Trump and get out of politics, so as not to face the wrath of the Trump base.

[Blue Owl]

47. Burnin' down the house
