U.S. House Speaker Ryan says it would be 'ridiculous' to work with Obama on immigration
Source: Reuters
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said on Sunday it would be ridiculous to work with President Barack Obama on immigration reform, saying he cannot trust the president on the issue.
"I think it would be a ridiculous notion to try and work on an issue like this with a president we simply cannot trust on this issue," Ryan said in an interview aired on the CBS program "Face the Nation."
"He tried to go it alone, circumventing the legislative process with his executive orders so that is not in the cards. I think if we reach consensus on how best to achieve border and interior enforcement security, I think that's fine," Ryan added.

Then he will be in his office for only three days a week making $223,500 a year
Then to top it all off he hasn't read Article 1 Section 8 Paragraph 11 on this new crap from the last crap on placing American troops on the ground or in the air from the last twit that just got booted out of his job, so that he (Boehnor) can go wherever he is going to go and get over $100,000 drinking his merlot in taxpayer retirement, at least he can't be on the floor of the house passing out bribe money, now he can do it off campus
Maddow got it right
And this right wing hypocrite deflects his responsibilities on immigration and the measure that was passed in the senate over two years ago, and now this twit is going to continue the same crap with new crap, with some more of his Ayn Rand crap

(137 posts)The system works on compromise, it always has and it will never work any other way. Ryan now demonstrates that compromise is not in his lexicon or that of his regrettably rightward spiraling party. Say what you will about Boehner but he tried mightily to achieve compromises and that led to his downfall.
Having said that , and having condemned the GOP for its refusal to do the business of all the people of this nation I must include the Democratic Party failures if I wish to portray a complete picture. We see the GOP winning the battle for the electorate, admittedly through hyperbole, naked appeals to anger and fear and with an unending river of money from the wealthiest of the extremists. We see ever more governors , ever more state houses, ever more members of Congress from the GOP. Those who support the Democrats, their platform and agendas must , if fair minded enough, find these constant loses intolerable and symptomatic. Demanding a change of both leadership and strategies seems the only way to alter this rightward spiral....

(27,826 posts)I agree 100%.
How about demanding a change of leadership starting with getting rid of Debbie Wasserman Schultz as head of the DNC?
Welcome to DU!

(137 posts)As one who is not a registered democrat I cannot demand anything from them. I do believe, however, that it is not so much a problem with individual leadership as it is with a serious conflict of interest. Once known as the "Big Tent", a party which embraced a wide spectrum of views and opinions, we now see a silenced Progressive Caucus, Black Caucus, and a strategy encompassed by a turn rightward, ostensibly to capture the voters left behind as the Republican Party moved even further rightward.
In my opinion, for whatever that is worth, I see both parties in the thrall of corporate money in order to finance ever more expensive elections. I doubt this is accidental. Replacing any individual leader does nothing, again in my opinion, to address the illness itself.

I guess kids learn the meaning of "preemptive strike" a lot sooner than we thought. I know Paul Ryan did.

(18,652 posts)I have husband-wife close relatives who are both R's, the only ones in the family. We seldom speak about politics so we can get along; however, today I broached the subject, asking the wife who she's supporting. She said she's supporting NO ONE! Not even Jebbie, who she knows. She spent a day with him and said, "I just knew after that he wouldn't be a good president. He has no personality." Wow! This from someone who adores Dimson and Chain-ee, both. About Trump, she said he would be a disaster and commented on his deportation policy. "That is not my country, to deport immigrants and break up families." I am really proud of her. Maybe she'll support a Dem this time.

(1,926 posts)Mr. Obama "goes it alone" because your party wants me to hate "illegals". You want me to blame them for all the problems letting the oligarchs steal everything they want causes.
It not the fault of undocumented workers we closed 60,000 factories, and moved manufacturing to China. You know, China, where if you try to unionize, they KILL YOU.
