Paul Ryan. Who Dat?
One of my favorite blogs is Joe. My. God. because it’s smart, factually correct, and the comments are good. It’s targeted to the LGBT community and the language gets a little raw, but it’s always funny, or so filled with rage that it lets you release some of own own.
My friend Kary is a native Texan, who used to be a theater producer but is now living on the coast of Spain with his very handsome husband Jimmy and you bitches can eat your heart out, gives me a heads up when he sees something at Joe’s that he knows will bring me an overload of “well, ain’t that prissy?”
And so it goes today. Paul Ryan climbs on a mountaintop and attempts to nail himself to the cross. Ryan explains that he retired “to get away from Trump.”
“We’ve gotten so numbed by it all,” Ryan says. “Not in government, but where we live our lives, we have a responsibility to try and rebuild. Don’t call a woman a ‘horse face.’ Don’t cheat on your wife. Don’t cheat on anything. Be a good person. Set a good example.”
“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.”
Here’s a preening pipsqueak’s take on what is a “good person.” Cancelling people’s heath insurance and supporting enough tax cuts to cause a $1.1 trillion deficit does not make you a choir boy.
Thanks to Kary for the heads up.
I’ll bet it’s because of the excerpt from that book that came out about the 48 hours of Republican Party panic between the Access Hollywood video and the debate. It names names.
1JoeMyGod used to be a must read for me, but a couple years ago I noticed it went from posting a mix of gay culture things (Eurovision, interesting blogs, viral videos) to basically just being a site that posts anti-gay press releases and right wing tweets/headlines all day every day. I get that it’s good to know what the other side is thinking/doing, but it just felt like Joe turned it too much into an anti-gay curating site.
I hope it’s since changed, but it just got too depressing to me and I had to give it up.
2Poor Paul Ryan. The bone spurs in his spine flared up which left him no choice other than a deferment from further government service. Fortunately for him, he has great health care for the rest of his life, even when his conscience acts up with the weather, any weather, hot, cold, sun, rain…
3Oh Rick, so well said!
4Ryan was one of the few people that could have reigned in Dotard 45 early on by using oversight and warnings.
Now it’s down to threats and attacks…
5if it’s all the same to you guys, could he just fall off that mountaintop? yeah, I know, someone’s going to have to clean up the mess, and I am sorry about that, but really, it’s the only way to be sure.
6Ryan has a persistent case of cognitive dissonance.
He appears to believe that you can be both a devoted follower of Ayn Rand’s Objectivism, and a faithful practicing Catholic. Or even just a good person.
He is wrong.
7June, 2018: Seth Rogan told a story on Stephen Colbert’s show about the time he was in Washington DC as a mental health advocate when two teenagers asked him for a photo. Then the kids said, “Our dad wants a photo, too,” and Rogan looks up and their dad is Paul Ryan. Seth Rogan:”I look over and his kids are standing right there expectantly, clearly fans of mine, and I said, ‘No way, man!'”
“Furthermore, I hate what you’re doing to the country at this moment and I’m counting the days until you no longer have one iota of the power that you currently have,” Rogen said.
Maybe Ryan started to worry that his evil politics might make his kids unpopular? And this is his way of making it up to them?
But I’m sure Paul Ryan’s kids are dicks all on their own.
