Paul Ryan Is Out

Post by Ibanez »

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story ... ton-216103
pirits were high inside the House chamber on Thursday, November 16, when, in the early afternoon, the gavel fell and a measure to rewrite the American tax code passed on a partisan tally of 227 to 205. As the deciding votes were cast—recorded in green on the black digital scoreboard suspended above the floor—the speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, threw his head back and slammed his hands together. Soon he was engulfed in a sea of dark suits, every Republican lawmaker wanting to slap him on the shoulder and be a part of his moment.

I wonder who the new minority whip will be after he leaves?

Speaker of the House
Keeper of the Zoo
Ready to relieve em of a tax or two
POrk in the bill, makin' up the weight
Pulling fast ones on the constituents that can't see straight
Everybody loves a congressman
Everybody's bosom friend
I do whatever pleases
Donors! won't I bleed 'em in the end?

Speaker of the house? Isn't worth my spit!
Legislator, philosopher and lifelong shit!
Cunning little brain, regular Voltaire
Thinks he's quite a Speaker, but there's not much there
What a cruel trick of nature, landed us with such a louse
God knows how we've lasted living with this Speaker in the house!

Everybody raise a glass
Raise it up the Speaker's arse
Everybody raise a glass to the Speaker of the House!

I don’t think Ryan ever really wanted that job in the first place.

My biggest thought on Ryan is that he showed he has no integrity when he did not unambiguously declare that Trump is unacceptable.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
