“Let’s not just turn around and bring back earmarks two weeks later.”

Yeah, wait till the holidays when no one is watching.

[Sam Gamgee]

Now we know who the RINOs clearly are. Yes, drain the swamp, the corrupt from both parties.

[Disestablishmentarian]

>>I want NAMES!<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This should be our motto.

The Congress is full of nameless nonentities that keep getting reelected to do the bidding of their slimy backers—usually globalist corporations, ultimately, but represented by lobbyists.

but 4 weeks will be just fine.

[ConservativeMind]

Then you will remember that any discrepancies with you visa use could ban you from the US for 10 years.

Why isn't this expected for illegals?

[Sequoyah101]

More greedy than stupid bu the two together are a deadly combination.

[GregBo]

It seems Ryan is finally coming around.

max americana :" For now. But he’s a snake. It’s in his nature to turn left."

..............................

A young girl walking along a mountain path to her grandmother's house heard a rustle at her feet. Looking down, she saw a snake, but before she could react, the snake spoke to her.

"I am about to die," he said. "It's too cold for me up here, and I am freezing. There is no food in these mountains, and I am starving. Please put me under your coat and take me with you."

"No," the girl replied. "I know your kind. You are a rattlesnake. And if I pick you up, you will bite me and your bite is poisonous."

"No, no," the snake said. "If you help me, you will be my best friend. I will treat you differently."

She looked at the beautiful markings on the snake and she had to admit he was the most beautiful snake she had ever seen.

Then she said, "I believe you. I will save you. All living things deserve to be treated with kindness."

She then reached over, gently put the snake under her coat and continued toward her grandmother's house.

Within a moment, she felt a sharp pain in her side. The snake had bitten her!

"How could you do this to me?" she cried. "You promised that you would not bite me, and I trusted you! Now I will die."

"You knew what I was when you picked me up," he hissed as he slithered away.

Wait. Please . I am Braveheart!! Ryan did the right thing. Let us commend that. He is young. He is pragmatic. Boehner fed him a line of rat shit and he bit but what if he turns? Not to Trump — but to the best interest of America. If you read my posts ( don’t) you will see me blow torch the bastard. But what if I was wrong? I don’t mind being wrong. I just want to be wrong in the RIGHT SIDE!! Let these guys come home!! Kill the fatted calf!! Get the a best cloak!! God Bless this country and Ryan — Please come to help us, Paul!!

[bankwalker]

Trump and the boys had a little talk with paul ... told him how it’s gonna be ... Paul’s on board now ... prepare for shock and awe in late January ...

[snarkytart]

Ruthless, you are. :)

[rodguy911]

I think he realizes he may have some opposition next time he runs and it won’t be from the dems.

[philman_36]

If he keeps this up he just might earn some respect from flyover country.

[dragnet2]

Decline came in many forms and for decades Middle America were the biggest losers.

[RedCell]

That’s rhetorical, right?

Since I arrived as a grad student in 1960, the country has changed enormously. The rich donor class has succeeded in corrupting almost all career politicians to promote the cheap labor express in the form of 1.3 million mostly low skilled legal immigrants every year, and God only knows how many illegals. The donor class further accentuates their profits by exporting manufacturing jobs to cheaper labor countries.

The corrupted politicians, operating under the cloak of pseudo-conservatism are experts at fooling the vast hard working middle class. But the spring can be stretched only so far and then it breaks. The ordinary working folks have finally seen the man behind the curtain. This more than anything else explains why a blunt talking non-PC is now president-elect.

I am sorry Wendle, I am not ready to trust previous no-Trumpers like Paul Ryan. Talk is cheap, only actual actions will tell more. I hope to be proven wrong about Ryan.

[WENDLE]

ok I understand. It is shakey at best . In Bravehart , the movie, The Irishman comes to camp. I think his name is “Wilson”. He is wild and and a killer. Bravehart accepts him into camp wit a skepticism. Later ,Bravehart is hunting a deer for food. One of the Irish tries to attack Bravehart with a club. . Out of nowhere comes Wilson and kills the attacker. He says “ i’ve got your back “ with a sly laugh. Is that Cruz.?

TRUMP MAGNUS!

If Harry Reid is screaming for it, you know its gotta be poison.

"I am one of the kings of earmarks,"[Harry Reid] the Nevada Democrat, who is retiring at the end of the year, unabashedly told reporters Wednesday. "I think it was a terrible idea, a disservice to America to come up with this stupid idea, stupid idea to stop congressional directed spending – of course we should be doing it."

House Republicans this week are considering a proposal to bring back earmarks during its biannual reconsideration of internal rules. The leadership in both parties tend to support the practices because it gives them leverage over rank-and-file members and help persuade them to vote for certain bills.

But fiscal conservatives and ethics groups oppose the practice after several high-profile corruption scandals and allegations of self-dealing involving the practice several years ago.

Reid calls himself 'one of the kings of earmarks' ^

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes it is (a good move). I have to thank Congressman Ryan for this.
