Ooh, Lyin' Ryan wanted to scold Dump all the time...

From the Vanity Fair article about the new book, "American Carnage":

<snip> Ryan, who tells Alberta that he viewed his retirement as an “escape hatch” to get away from Trump, plays up the “adults in the room” myth, suggesting his deference allowed him to steer Trump on a better course. “I told myself I gotta have a relationship with this guy to help him get his mind right,” Ryan recalls. “Because, I’m telling you, he didn’t know anything about government…I wanted to scold him all the time. Those of us around him really helped to stop him from making bad decisions. All the time,” Ryan continues. <snip>

Oh, fuck you, Lyin' Ryan, retiring at 48 without a care in the world. You were one of the biggest, most worthless obstructionist assholes during the Obama administration. Take your ridiculous Eddie Munster hairdo and piss off.

Governor Ryan, Senator Ryan, President Ryan. He just doesn't want to get any Trump on his suit.

Didn’t he warn us about being “Steeped in the protocol”? Oh yeah, but how ‘bout those tax cuts for the 1%, huh?

Fuck you Paul Ryan and your Trump isn't a good person act.

You God Damn well knew that Trump was dirty w/Russian money in 2016 and
helped to keep it covered up. This modern day Hitler/con man/mentally ill/racist/
sexist/rapist/child rapist/Putin controlled/treasonous/criminal is now in the White
House in no small part thanx to you.

The New Yorker, "Paul Ryan Keeps It All in the Family" May 17, 2017

In the transcript published by the Post, McCarthy speculates that the Russians hacked the Democratic National Committee’s computers and, in the process, discovered whatever opposition-research materials the Democrats had gathered on Trump.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy said, according to Entous, a superb reporter who heard a tape recording of the colloquy. “Swear to God.”

Dana Rohrabacher is a Republican from California with a peculiar amalgam of views: pro-marijuana, dubious about climate change, pro-torture. For this last position, in 2007, Keith Olbermann awarded him his periodic “Worst Person in the World” award, on his old MSNBC show. Like Trump, Rohrabacher has been highly solicitous of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Last year, Politico ran an article on Rohrabacher called “Putin’s Favorite Congressman.”

In the Post piece, McCarthy’s remark is met with laughter, and Ryan cautions his colleagues, “This is an off the record . . . No leaks! . . . All right?”
