I hope he never brings the vote up. Republicans never stop being stupid.
Me , too. Snake
LOL @ Ryan, the way he looked and sounded during that Congratulation speech about Trump, the guy was totally betad. There is a new Sheriff comin to town, and the Deputy has to .. polish the Sheriff's gun..
Neither, I think.
The stupid GOP earmark gambit had become public.
The media had reported it.
Ryan had to pull the plug. FOR NOW.
If you read the whole story, it's clear this is just a postponement in Ryan's mind.
A good one, don't get me wrong. But Ryan's motives are for the optics only.
We'll doubtless see more of this sort of thing, where Pubbies end up doing the right thing in spite of themselves, as Trump drains the Ryan swamp.
lol. Ryan’s a political animal and probably doesn’t really stand for much.
IF he holds his position, he wont fight Trump.
He would possibly lose what he cares about most..money and power.
Yes, but if they find one worthy area they will find more and more less worthy areas for earmarks.
Notice Ryan didn’t voice his objection to the earmark concept itself.
He just warned that it wouldn’t look good right now to bring back the corrupt practice.
So true.
Still don’t trust him. Not only are my back wounds still fresh, but a couple of knife handles are still sticking out.
Not to worry, Ryan will attach it to a “must pass” bill later in the year.
Because Republicans are at least as corrupt as Democrats.
Machine gunfire to my left and right, stay on the path to survival.
Fear the Lame Duck session. A lot of carp like this is going to be put forward.
Article V’ers take note. No one is coming to DC on a horse. There needs to be limits on what legislation can pass between Election Day and Inauguration Day.
So he says wait until we get closer to Christmas, when people won’t be paying as much attention.
That he had the vote on the docket to come up at all speaks volumes.
Stylish move.
At least one R in DC can read the tea leaves
EXACTLY TRUE !
Watch him, and expect him turn on immigration and TPP
This . . . is nothing.
We’ll see what’s what in 3 months when the debt ceiling raise is required. That’s when he has to be persuasive, because it’s a really easy vote for the Dems. They’ll just say no and the GOP will have to furnish ALL the votes.
And no, don’t say . . . okay don’t raise it. Then you have to find 600B to cut and if you look at the budget you’ll see that doesn’t happen without DoD or Soc Sec.
Trump WILL NOT let them get away with earmarks NO WAY, Trump s going to put through infrastructure spending throughout the country which should be enough bacon for ALL states!!! HOWEVER WE ALL KNOW these earmarks go to their DONORS and Trump WILL NOT approve of this BS!!!!
These IDIOTS do NOT KNOW what they are up against, Trump WILL COME directly to the people and tell us EXACTLY what these ASSHATS are up to LYIN RYAN is a SNAKE and WILL NOT last as SPEAKER, McCarthy is another SNAKE I have my eyes on him also!!!!
Ryan is secretly saying that they should just wait until they think no one is watching, and then they’ll bring back earmarks.
So does this mean we'll just wait a few weeks and sneak it in when we are checking out to go home for Christmas?
