I'm sure there's a sweetheart high paying job waiting out there in corporate world as a 'thank you' to the congressional piece of shit.

At the thought of the GOP accomplishing his goals of screwing us out of SS and Medicare, and destroying health care for the rest of us.

The "Balanced Budget Amendment" comes up for a vote in the House.

I just can't be nice any longer.

He wants to be clear of any impeachment activities in the House because I believe that he will attempt to pick up some of Trump's base when Trump is gone.

I don't think Trump will last til 2020. If Trump is still around - he will be primaried. It will be interesting to see who of the Repugs will wind up in the 2020 clown car. For sure, however, Ryan will be in it.

The primary legislation of interest to his benefactors was the tax give away to billionaires and their corporations. After that was accomplished, his job was done because by removing trillions in revenue from the treasury -

1.) This guarantees the death of things funded by that lost revenue like Medicaid, food assistance, education assistance, housing assistance, disaster assistance, infrastructure
2.) Puts pressure on eliminating Social Security and its offshoots like Medicare
3.) Becomes a death knell for the ACA

A salesman who KNOWS he's peddling a crap product doesn't stick around after he's made the sale. He's spent a career preaching his Ayn Rand bullshit, probably never expecting that anyone would be dumb enough to buy it. Now that it's been put in motion, he needs to get out before his voters see what a disaster it will be.

Also, I think he realizes that he's in it up to his eyeballs in the Russian meddling and that it's only a matter of time before Mueller turns his attention to him and McConnell.
