Is that why Rangel was never prosecuted? Or Maxine Waters?

“Justice is blind. Justice should be blind.”

If this POS thinks justice is blind in DC he’s had his head up his rear for way too long.

I am so glad this sorry #$#% $%%&^* is leaving the house.

Ryan personifies the DC swamp. He is not a Republican or conservative, he is a swamp creature. It will be nice when this POS is gone.

It is the timing Trump objects to.
