"President" Ryan Takes Over

This weekend Trump gave a speech at a rally. He read that lady and the snake poem again whereas the lady nurses a half frozen snake back to health and the snake bites her. Asked why, the snake said "You knew I was a snake."
The poem was being applied to a sneaky Muslim terrorist. While Trump read that, me dino was in my Easy Boy saying, "Apply that to Paul Ryan! Paul Ryan! Don't you know what you have for mess-siss-siss-ssing around with Paul Ryan?"
But no-o. Trump has stated Ryan's doing a wonderful job. Evidently, Trump has been getting bit while not knowing it.
The article in the link bears that out. What is NOT funded according to Daniel Horowitz's analysis of the Continuing Resolution to fund the government for the rest of the Fiscal Year?
The border wall.
What is being funded?
Sanctuary cites.
The refugee program gets $3.1 billion, the same as it did under Obama.
Green energy programs you'd think Trump would eliminate receives a modest increase.
Click the link to read the rest.
You'd have thought the Evil Hag had won the election. Horowitz writes "this is the way it always goes with President Ryan. Ryan's budget brinkmanship strategy is to wait until the government is about to run out of spending authority, then demand that conservatives cave in on the Democrats' priorities."
Me dino is thinking that if Trump really wants to drain the swamp, first demand Ryan resign as Speaker and publicly identify and fully expose all the RINOs who help Ryan play his deceptive political games.
Trump needs to drain his own home swamp first.

    t's too late. The RINO camp is securely ensconced in the Trump administration, all the phony "conservatives" who want to jump on Arabs who have oil and coincidentally are Israel's neighbors. My guess is, the bankers control the Democrats enough, to put Hillary on the ticket, and she was easy enough to blow out of the water. a) Stop her vote fraud racket; b) Let America know how rotten and corrupt she is. IT was not necessary to put the child trafficking out there, the Satanism, sex abuse, nor even narcotics trafficking. These are all things the ruling elite keep to themselves so the less we know about it, the better (for them). Peter Townsend put it like this: "A dead dog would have done better at the polls."

    The Supreme Court has been saved, at least for now, and Evil Hag wanted open borders.
    The future looked downright dangerous because I thought she would win. So I armed myself to the teeth.

    Markets are reacting to this...

    We may be on the cusp of another recession. Keep doing the same thing over and over and guess what happens... Either way - I still give thanks every day that Hitlery isn't in there.

    I can't get over a stomach turning memory of O telling Son of Boehmer "Thank you for making government work" for acting like a RINO replacement water boy.
    Even though I can't remember the Dem legislation the RINOs helped push through.
    Someone else be Speaker. PLEASE!

    The tough part about Congressional Leadership is they are ultimately subject to the voters in their home districts. Ryan hails from Wisconsin, a state that went red for the first time in a generation. Voting red (for the first time) doesn't mean that they are not blue-leaning at home, and probably are. Ryan is in a tough spot to keep his seat and I think he's a decent man at heart.

    The reality is, the Republicans need a Speaker from a safer district. John McClintock would be a good - excellent orator, solid conservative, from California but never has a capable challenger and his district is about 70% registered Republican (and high-income / highly conservative).

    I'm sure there are others - from Texas, etc. point being, it needs to be someone from a solidly conservative district with no threats at home for being their own person.

    That reminds me of a cartoon I saw maybe 10 years ago.
    Set in the Middle East, a modern war wipes out all one Israeli and one Muslim and both are armed fighters.
    The Muslim disarms and opens his arms.
    The Israeli decides the make peace in the same manner.
    They rush over to each other.
    They embrace.
    They both blow up.

    I heard a different version of that "snake" thing a few years back: A scorpion was tryin to get a turtle to give him a ride on his back across the river Jordon. "C'mon," says the scorpion, "if i were to sting you, I'd drown." So the turtle agreed and let the scorpion on his back and began to swim. Half way across the scorpion stung him. The turtle asked, with his dying gasp, "Why did you sting me? Now we'll both die!" And the scorpion replied, "What can I say? Its the Middle East."

    "Take the test to find out if you would rather be in NYC or WV."
    I think the whole thing exists only in the minds of people trying to get votes, viewers, clicks, etc.

    Can't say for sure, CG. He's an acquaintance, not a close friend. He did get away from NY, but I've also seen him act as a self centered, condescending asshole for no apparent reason.

    In the minority of what? I'd take a conservative Farmer Denim Overalls over a lib Mr. Suit at any time, any place.
    Maybe I shoulda added "lib" to "spiffy sophisticated" instead of just mentioning snowflake offspring.
    Guess I was thinking the apple does not fall far from the tree.

    When I was in Cumberland, KY a few weeks ago, everyone I met was very nice. The women call everyone "baby doll" or "sweetie", not in a weird way but just nice. If they hated me, called me names, or spat in my food, they gave no outward sign of it. I think you're in the minority.

    We have the occasional name-calling jerk here too, sometimes in a suit sometimes in clothes from Farm and Fleet.

    I have lived in several places. Texas and WV are two that have a lot in common-places to have great friends if you are genuine and to get your ass kicked if you ain't. Take the test to find out if you would rather be in NYC or WV.

    "He moved to rural WV and is very impressed with the natives' abilities to be gentile, productive, and to think rationally."
    "The metropolitan areas that support [crazy bad policies]."
    Was this guy an exception to your rule that urban area contain people who are supporting bad policies and dragging everyone down? Or did he reform after moving to WV? Or is he still dragging down WV making his neighbors wish he'd go back to NYC?

    The GOP knew Obama would, of course, reject the Obamacare repeal bill they sent to him.
    They didn't think Trump would win and fully expected, for the consumption of their constituents, to play this same "this is why you need to reelect me" con game with a President $hillary.
    A President Trump messed up their sneaky RINO charade.

    Trump may want to try to drain the swamp, he also will keep the plug in his hand so he controls the flow. Much like Obama, you just had to look and listen to know what Trumps course would be. And in a totally unrelated issue...my healthcare premium just went up $40 a month,(to $500) with a $6000 deductible - but by all means, let` s not submit the repeal bill that was sent to Obama 6 times....and Heaven forbid the president ask for it. We get what we allow.

    Actually, I was too kind. I meant to type RINO, Republican in NAME ONLY - not in policies. I apologize to the poor zoo animal for the typo!

    When I first heard before I ever read RINO, I spelled it "Rhino" in a post (not in The Gulch), thinking it must mean a rhinoceros not ever measuring up to the stature of a GOP elephant.
    Then I learned it was an acronym for Republican In Name Only.
    At that point I was all like, "Uh, oh, okay."

    Well, I did not vote for that bull in a china shop's perfection.
    I just didn't want the Evil Hag to win and tilt the SCOTUS away from Constitutional law for perhaps permanently.
