It appears that the fix is in.

The new Speaker of the House appears to be adopting the procedures of his predecessor.

A meaningless symbolic vote to fool the electorate will be followed by giving Obama and the Democrats whatever they want.

Well Congresscriters need a conservative voting record to run on. Record mind you, not results.

Here is the bill that Ryan will NOT bring to the floor. It utilizes power of the purse; so it is anathema to the scared and spineless.

Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) first proposed his bill, here, last summer. Events in Paris over the weekend on top of news accounts generally of the European invasion by Middle Eastern and African migrants have resulted in increased attention to the measure. Go here for a list of co-sponsors of HR 3314. Is your member on the bill yet?

The Republocrats obviously worry more about some kind of imagined political fallout than their constitutional duty to repel invasions and protect American lives, and preserve our wonderful country.

Apparently even this so-called “Freedom Caucus” and Brat caved into pressure to let Ryan in.

WHERE IS INTEGRITY??? And GUTS??? And a heart for our country and a loathing of political expediency???

Next will be the declaration that the government will NOT be shut down and impeachment is OFF the table.

Leo Hohmann writes "meaningless, show column" about Ryan and refugees.

Does he really think any legislation would actually stop Obama from doing what he wants to do?

This how he and the GOPe do business in the face of Donald Trump’s popularity and the grassroots who demand real concrete and meaningful action.

The speaker is worthless. What needs to happen is a private meeting where he tells obammy to change his mind or he will start the process detailed in the 25th amendment. According to the amendment, Congress can determine who is required to decide the president is unable to discharge his duties.

And then when obammy rejects it... he needs to start that process.

WEll, yeah, Paul Ryan is a meaningless showman in the speaker role.

He will prove to be a disaster. He is not a representative of the people

So Lyin’ Ryan demonstrates once again that his primary profession is prostitution for GOP-E, Wall Street, K Street and to serve as Obozo’s faithful footstool in the Speaker’s Chair. What a surprise!

FGS — what do you folks want? Do you want Ryan to march up to the WH and hog tie Obama, hold his hand and make him sign legislation that he’s planning to veto? Get real.

You castigated Boehner and McConnell for NOT bringing measures to the floor that Obama is pledged to veto, saying “Well at least we would have his opposition on record,” but now you castigate Ryan for doing just the opposite.

Join the real world.

This is what the majority of Ryan’s caucus wants- a ‘show vote’.
He’d have to beat them to get a real vote... not that he wants one.

“...appears to be adopting the procedures of his predecessor.”

Wow! What a shock!

Did anyone at all think the GOPe would actually select anyone different that didn’t belong to the “go along to get along” club?

The “boner” and his ilk made sure that the “Good Ole Boy club” just kept on going like the energizer bunny.

Anyone who votes for any GOPe club member next time should be sent to Syria for an anal examination by a big barbarian.

We will DEMAND Ryan’s resignation .. if, because of his meaningless votes, there is an attack upon America.

And .. I’m getting more ticked off by the minute if this is really Ryan’s attitude.

What does it take to impeach Ryan, I thought this was the Peoples House. Surprised that Hannity let Ryan weasle out from the question; Hannity wants the immigration stopped, Ryan wants a pause. Time for Hannity to shit or get off the pot.
