Paul Ryan may be as exciting as watching paint dry, but his policies… well that’s a white rat of a different color.
Everything and anything Speaker Paul Ryan attempts to legislate is cruel, mean-spirited and destructive. He is the one who will make drastic cuts to Medicare and Medicaid to pay for the outrageous only-for-the-very-rich tax bill he, together with our corrupt and unfit president he defends, pushed up the asses of the American people. He is the bastard who delighted in removing healthcare from many millions, without thought or care to the ramifications or deaths it will cause. He is the one who’s been beating the drum about privatizing Social Security. And if he can’t privatize it, he’ll sure as hell cut Social Security unless the Democrats manage, by sheer luck, to win back the Senate and the House in 2018. Nevertheless, the GOP policies he’s mothered through will, perhaps, take decades to undo — severe damage that’s been done to this country and its people.
And let’s not overlook the timing of Paul Ryan’s career plan. First his book. Then, after the 2018 midterm election, he’ll leave his Speakership. And then he’ll run for President. Perhaps not in 2020, but certainly four years later.
And if, by some miracle, the GOP grows a spine and impeachesTrump, or the Cabinet wises up, speaks truth to power and enacts the 25th Amendment, Paul Ryan will be in exactly the position he’s hoping for.
There is not a tiny speck of vanilla in Paul Ryan. He’s a raging, blood thirsty menace who’ll fuck this country in a nanosecond if given the chance.
