The epitome of the "Fuck you, I got mine" Republican mentality.

Gets 500k from the Koch brothers after the horrible tax cut. And now he goes off to the 7 figure land of lobbyist/advisor land. That amongst all the other shit he's done.

Hope he gets fucked in the after Congress life.

Don't want to sound like a dick, but be prepared for the GOP to nominate someone even worse for that seat who goes on to beat Iron Stache Guy.

It’s late in the game. That could happen, but I think that guy was gonna beat Paul Ryan (as apparently does Ryan himself) and anyone now is behind and the ‘stasche guy will have actually more name recognition now. That’s a weird turn of events.

Yeah, the motive for this has to be cashing in on lobbying or the paid speeches circuit, right? After all he's done to destroy the social safety net and benefit the rich, Ryan will make millions from the usual private sector suspects.

Outside of that though, he's a pretty good dude. He spent (and continues to do so) the bulk of his career fighting for the poor.

Paul Ryan’s career ends in abject failure

If Nancy Pelosi never gets her hands on the speaker’s gavel again, she’ll always have the fact that the 111th Congress was one of the most productive of all time.

Ryan’s brief speakership, by contrast, did not amount to much. The dream of Social Security privatization that launched his policy relevance is dead. The Medicare privatization plan that relaunched his policy relevance is also dead. His reputation as a deficit hawk has been exposed as a sham. He didn’t repeal the Affordable Care Act, and he didn’t undo the Obama administration’s financial regulations. The year isn’t over yet, but Congress has basically abandoned hope of doing anything else.

What he got was a tax cut, the thing that every Republican majority gets.

And since that’s what his donors wanted in the end, that’s probably the important thing. But it is worth saying that the tax cut ultimately came together because Republicans abandoned Ryan’s vision of a high-minded tax reform and his dumb talking point about filing taxes on a postcard. At the end of the day, they slapped together an old-fashioned deficit-financed tax cut for the rich that throws quarters at the middle class in hopes of disguising the $10 bills handed out to the rich. Flimflam and phaseout gimmicks, rather than reform and loophole closing, make it work.

I was going to dig up the Charlie Pierce thread, but since "the zombie-eyed granny starver from the state of Wisconsin" got his own thread, I'll just toss up the link.
As a longtime connoisseur of Ryan’s public fakery, I may never decide what about him I find the most nauseating—the retrograde policies that he gussies up as concern for the poor and downtrodden, or the wet-eyed phony sincerity with which he sells them.

That's truly a clincher for "worst human being" in the category. But as "worst for the country's people," Pence wins.

Sarah Palin though... like some fever dream that you try to forget.

Was awesome watching Joe Biden dance on Paul Ryan's head in that Veep debate back in 2012.

And pretty amazing he trotted out the 'spend more time with my family' canard. C'mon...no one falls for that one anymore.

Yeah, bullshit. He's already lining up massive travel to raise money for the usual right wing causes. He's not gonna be "at home" any more than he was when in Congress. It's part of his act.

This thread is a perfect example between the reasonable left and the unreasonable right now. I mentioned Edwards, and collectively here everyone was like “oh yeah. Forgot about him. Fuck that guy.”

Swap out “dying of cancer” with “breastfeeding your newborn son” and that’s what President Fredo did. And there are a sizable enough percentage of the right who are still defending him. God, fuck them all.

The "be with my family" thing is a massive lie to cover up he was going to lose his election and is saving face and lining up his next run for office. Fuck. Him.

it's not mutually exclusive to dislike him for all of the reasons listed in this thread and also believe that he may actually believe among many other things that he does want to spend time with his family

I have serious doubts about the priority of the reason, of course, but I can see him believing it and as a human being have a bare level of empathy for it, even if politicians are delusional and it looks like the house is going blue in November

Anyhoo, this family talk reminds me of what he said when he was being considered for the Speakership:

https://www.c-span.org/video/?328879-1/ ... peakership

Fast forward to 1:52.

"I cannot and I will not give up my family time."

As a military dude, I rolled my eyes. Must be fucking nice to just demand that. So, he's used that line as cover for his long con bullshit. I'm with TB and Mister D on this one. Fuck that guy.
