Paul Ryan: Voters won't be impressed by 'yes-men and flatterers flocking to Mar-a-Lago'

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) took several jabs at former President Trump during an address at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Thursday, lamenting that voters "will not be impressed by the sight of yes-men and flatterers flocking to Mar-a-Lago."

Ryan also referred to the end of Trump's presidency as "dishonorable and disgraceful"

"Even worse, it was horrifying to see a presidency come to such a dishonorable and disgraceful end," Ryan said, adding that the 2020 elections had left Republicans "powerless" in Washington.

Two things need to happen.

1) Fox must be informed people will not watch a minute of their network, even for the favorites like Tucker, as long as Ryan has any involvement with their network.

2) Fox might also be informed people are writing to their advertisers to inform them they will not buy any of their products as long as they advertise anywhere Ryan is involved.

The last time the Republicans called looking for money, I asked the gal which Republican Party she was calling for. After a few seconds she asked what I meant by that? Then I asked, “You’re not from the Bush, Cheney, Paul Ryan party are you? She then says “Oh no” and I said “Bullshit” and hung up.
I haven’t heard from them since, approximately 2 months ago.

Yes, I’m so impressed by people trekking to whatever sewer Paul Ryan lives in to get his blessing.

P*ss off, Ryan.

Republican people in WI are not impressed with Ryan flocking to Never Trumpers and spouting Democrat talking points.

“1) Fox must be informed people will not watch a minute of their network, even for the favorites like Tucker, as long as Ryan has any involvement with their network.”

The best way to “inform” Fox is not to give them ratings. Simply don’t ever turn it on. However, Fox is slowly gaining back its audience just like the NFL. Fox did what it wanted to and assumed over time people would come back. Their strategy is working. The boycott is not.

Voters are even less impressed by Republicans eager to cooperate with Democrats rather than keep campaign promises.

Trump was in many ways an FDR Democrat but he at least fought back against the McGovernite and Worse Democrats rather than endlessly utter platitudes about statesmanship, bipartisanship and globalism.

Does he mean the November 2020 blizzard of Democratic ballot box stuffing, miscounting and spineless acceptance of it by the Republicans was "dishonorable and disgraceful"? Nope, he's insulting those who question it.

Ryan, what we are not impressed with is you, and your RINO ilk. Pound sand, traitor.

What the hell is wrong with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, inviting worms to speak.

He’s right about yes men.

But it applies all around.

From the man who lost the House, helped to loose the Senate and destroyed Faux News.
Sure sounds like someone from the DNC to me.

“Republican people in WI are not impressed with Ryan flocking to Never Trumpers and spouting Democrat talking points.”

The events of the past 5 years have proven most GOP politician don’t care what the voters think. They serve special interests when in office. When out of office they work for special interests at salaries many time what they earned while in office. Many of them never return to their home state, preferring the lifestyle inside the beltway.

Paul Ryan cares only about the cash flowing into his bank account. If the people of Wisconsin hate his guts it is of no consequence to him. He prefers rubbing shoulders with the rich and powerful, and eating crumbs off their tables, to serving the average citizen. He is a whore who has sold out to the highest bidder.

He doesn't get it either.

While I think there were some Trump voters who thought Jan. 6 was wonderful, a lot thought it was just stupid at the very least. Myself and most of the folks I know are in the latter group.

But we all unanimously agree that it has been wildly overblown, and that the Democrats use of street mobs last year constituted a much greater threat to democracy than what happened on the 6th. And just about every Democrat has either been completely silent about those riots, or actually endorsed them. That's not even mentioning the Democrats' refusal to accept the results of the 2016 election, and their weaponizing of the legal system to try to overturn that election for the entire Trump Presidency.

Myopic people like Ryan apparently are unable to see the forest for the trees. They barely bat an eye at what the Democrats did for the last four years, but are wildly outraged about one day. Had Jan. 6 happened in a vacuum, I might have been outraged as well. But it didn't happen in a vacuum, and based on everything else that happened the last 4 years, I won't give any of them the satisfaction of criticizing it. They deserved that riot because of their tolerance of riots when they were being fomented by the left.

Screw them, and screw any Republican out there virtue-signaling about January 6. That's just one drop of payback for the left's 4 year campaign against democracy.
