Was it the same kegs they're accusing Jon Ossoff of drinking from?

Paul Ryan is legitimately a disgusting human being, but then again...the American people voted for this so I don't care

nyet.......sure, Ryan's plan is well-known but Trump ran on the promise to do the opposite.

Ryan is a sociopath, news at 11.

[Cashew]

Ryan is a sociopath, news at 11.

And yet he is somehow considered a respectable moderate when compared to Trump.

mostly he is seen as a MENTALLY SANE  politician, speaking with a soft, soothing voice while pushing millions into poverty.

Paul Ryan is the epitome of the Caviar Conservative - the latte liberal's tax-the-poor to pay-the-rich friend at the swanky Washington bistro.  He's the ultimate Social Darwinist.  And Toxic Trump is the Billionaire Robin Hood in Reverse.

What unbelievable irony.  The Upper East Side businesswoman who spends $25,000 on Manolo Blahniks votes for Hillary and the Walmart-working mom who's about to be kicked off of Obamacare votes for Trump.

This is why I think we're due for a realignment in 8-12 years. The current trends and coalitions in place on either side make little sense in the grand scheme of things.

[ApatheticAustrian]

realignment for sure but it seems like, atm both left-wing economics and suburbanites are trending democratic the same time.....sounds more like increasing contradiction.

How dare they not vote for the Clintons who wanted to privatize Social Security?

I feel like Paul Ryan might seriously be on the autism spectrum.

Then you have no f**king clue what the autism spectrum is.

Well, I'm sure whoever in your family has it will be very happy to know you compared them to Paul Ryan. I know I'm not.

[ApatheticAustrian]

some people -  only a minority - with some kind of autism have problems with "natural" empathy, which doesn't mean at all that they can't understand and/or live the concept.....totally not what is happening here.

i am pretty sure, ryan thinks he is doing god's work and is helping those people AND the nation.

Did I say autism is what made Paul Ryan bad?

No, I'm saying he doesn't have good social instincts. See the quote of him dreaming about this (cutting/capping Medicaid) since he was drinking of out a keg.

He's the Speaker of the House of Representatives, elected by a notoriously unruly party, and has managed to maintain a positive image among Beltway pundits and these days is even seen as the "voice of sanity" within the GOP. You don't get there by having poor social instincts.

Yeah! You get there on promising to take healthcare away from our poorest individuals.
