“We just had a ‘drain the swamp’ election,” ??

Someone send Ryan a memo: The, “Drain the swamp” part comes after the election.

Gezuzz..

Just watched “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington” last night (for like the 30th time in my life).

I love that movie.

Trump reminds me of it... except he’s got a LOT more ammo to fight with than Jimmy Stewart did.

We could cut 600 billion. Much of what the federal government does needs to be cut away - like a puss bloated boil.

“We just had a ‘drain the swamp’ election,” Ryan said = = =

while clinging to a log in the swirling maelstrom.

Bwaahaa! Great imagery.

“Trump should tell them he will veto ANYTHING that has an earmark, or is more than one page.”

I’ve got a feeling Trump (or his attorney) will read every word of the bills presented to him. Nothing will be snuck past him. There won’t be any “Just give me a pen.”

How novel this will be!

NEVER forget how Dubya Bush began this whole, "You don't have to read the bill, just sign off and vote on it!" BS with his phony-baloney Patriot Act.

i can just hear ryan: “hey let’s wait on this till they’re not watching.”

sickening.

i’d like them better if wrong-way would just let them steal in broad daylight like the careless looters they really are.

“We just had a ‘drain the swamp’ election,” Ryan said in a private meeting of the House Republican conference, according to CNN. “Let’s not just turn around and bring back earmarks two weeks later.”


Well, at least Ryan knows how to count, and when people are REALLY pissed off.

Who the Hell even proposed this crap in the first place?

Ryan surely knows that Trump would have come down hard against this. Ryan didn’t want a fight with Trump over earmarks. He would have lost...again.

.... Republicans seam to think that since they won the election .... it's "Party Time."

...... Someone needs to tell them that .... No .... it is not Party time .... It's time to get to work and accomplish what they promised to do for the American People.

I’m certain this is for public consumption. Watch for whatever the other hand is doing. I don’t trust Ryan one bit.
