REPORT: Republican Lawmakers Laugh In Paul Ryan's Face For Trusting Harry Reid
Breitbart ^ | 23 Dec 2015 | Michelle Fields

Republican lawmakers reportedly laughed at House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) after he told them he had been given a promise from Senate Democratic Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV).

Lawmakers were amused at Ryan's naiveté for thinking that Reid is someone their party can trust. "I know, I know," Ryan replied with a smile, according to The Hill. Reid and Ryan just finished working together to help pass a $1 trillion dollar spending bill, which many argue contained far more liberal policies than conservative ones. Reid has promised Ryan that he will return to regular order in the New Year. According to the Hill, Republicans on Capitol Hill aren't buying it.

They feel they've been burned one too many times by Reid, who repeatedly filibustered House-passed appropriations bills this year and has a reputation for launching broadsides against the GOP from the Senate floor. And they're not so sure the Nevada Democrat will allow bills to move through the Senate Appropriations Committee to the floor, where after they are approved they could be merged with House-passed legislation.

"I personally don't trust Harry Reid as far as I could throw him," quipped Rep. John Carter (R-TX), chairman of the Committee on Appropriations' Subcommittee on Homeland Security.

"I'm extraordinarily skeptical," added Ryan's Wisconsin colleague, GOP Rep. Reid Ribble (R-WI).

"I don't want to be pessimistic, but Harry's a tough character to deal with and he'll find some way to stop virtually anything that he doesn't completely support, which is most of what we care about," said House Small Business Committee Chairman Steve Chabot (R-Ohio). Still, he added, "I wouldn't discourage Paul from trying."

Can trust? Paul Ryan is Speak of the House and he trusts Harry Reid? I believe now we have the stupidest Speaker of the House of all time.

The story of Aaron Jastrow: a governing committee member of Theresienstadt who was invited to ride in a comfortable rail car with the rest of the governing committee as they were sent to Birkenau. Jastrow ended up that way because of his stupidity for cooperating with the Nazis.

Paul Ryan is stupid on that level.

The Republican Party was built upon the idea of murdering Americans for opposing the Almighty Power of Government.

The Democrat party has now been commissioned with the same of murdering the souls of the uninformed for garnering largess.

This nation will die a quiet death, we can only pray.

Ya gotta give it to Reid and Pelosi. They are in the minority, but run both houses of Congress.

0bama must have some good Shiite on the Republican members of both houses.

The same ‘lawmakers’ that felt it was a good idea to hire him in the first place?
