Looks like there’s still a use for this:

He actually wants to do more on his way out and I’m not even a little surprised. I hope on the way out the door hits him in the ass so hard he vomits up a hard cover edition of Atlas Shrugged.

Also, no offense JM, but that puppet GIF is one of the creepiest things I’ve seen in a bit.

In reply to Draxiar.

Sure, there’s that, but Paul Ryan’s office once promoted the story of a woman who received a pay raise of just $1.50 as if it were a big deal.

I think that’s something you only do if you’re a dumbass aristocrat.

“Republicans apparently believe they’ve done average Americans a huge favor”
I would argue that this their attempt at smoke and mirror distraction of soft bribery to cover the massive amount of money given to rich people and corporations.

In reply to muselet. Wouldn't it be nice if they just once, for the sake of "and now, for something completely different", made a policy decision based on the what would be good for the country. Just to mix it up a little.

Paul Ryan wants another few billions of dollars added to the national debt—the size of which he is, naturally, alarmed and dismayed by—so his reputation as an economic ignoramus can get a final buff and polish (without which buffing and polishing, he might not get a sinecure at a Righty think tank). This places Mitch McConnell in the uncomfortable position of needing either to kill a round of tax cuts or to make R campaign consultants find a defamation of Ds other than “tax-and-spend.”

Small wonder the Founding Fathers distrusted and disapproved of “factions”—political parties, in modern parlance.
