Again, he's almost certainly going to get a job making more money than you'll ever see working as a lobbyist.


Great job completely and utterly missing the point chief.

lolwut? I imagine you're operating under a very different definition of "demonstrably" and, for that matter, "false." Granted, he did fail to accomplish other things -- like the privatization of medicare (which was a bit infeasible in the first place) -- and he's likely hit a wall in those areas so he's done all that he can for now.


Looks like you know about as much about political finance as you do about onions

You've got to let that go. They just don't have red onions in Russia.

So the point was to intentionally mislead and misinform?

Says the guy who both pays virtually no attention to politics yet claims others are politically ignorant. Also, you didn't know that shrimp on pizza was a thing so....

Most likely trump is going to try to quit because presidenting is hard.


It would actually explain a lot of his behavior if he has been trying to get fired this entire time

If he wanted to be impeached, he would've acted as a far-left liberal, considering it's a Republican-controlled House and Senate that's in power.


That isn't a reason to impeach him.

We need actual leadership right now,

It's almost as if the government is composed of hundreds of different elected officials that all have to deliberate for dozens of hours each week on what should be done... I'd even go so far as to say that it's set up like this so that one guy can't make all of the decisions alone!

You act like Republicans care if it's a good reason or not, so long as they don't like the guy in the White house.
A fair number of them were hoping to impeach Obama over Benghazi, even

Imagine if something like that happened under Trump's watch. The media shitstorm would be unprecedented

You mean like this event?

Actually, that's hardly a fair comparison...We knew we had people in Benghazi and a reason for them to be there, since it was an embassy an all. While as in the above case, it was a surprise we even had operations there.
And even then, it only even stayed in the news longer than a day b/c Trump was a dick to one of the widows.

But yeah, keep peddling that bs. If Obama had 1/10th of the scandals surrounding Trump right now, he'd already be impeached.

Excuses. Not to mention, the media mainly went after Clinton because their golden boy Obama was untouchable

More accurately, he is not running for reelection. So quitting, just not immediately.

I didn't agree with the guy on a lot of things, but he was a fairly reasonable man. It seems that's not acceptable in the Republican party anymore. Everyone reasonable is quitting.

https://www.npr.org/2018/04/11/601449190/house-speaker-paul-ryan-will-not-seek-reelection

Also the President is trying to start a trade war with China and a real war with Russia. We need actual leadership right now, so losing Ryan will hurt.


It's an indictment on the entire American political system that anybody views Paul Ryan as a reasonable man.

My first time voting I asked my brother who to vote for... and it was for Paul Ryan.

Years later I felt dumb for that... Go figure even worse people are in power now and Paul Ryan was a potential defense against the attempts to delegitimize elections (it should be way bigger news Trump outright makes up millions of illegal votes). Trump consistently laments the justice department doesn't protect him and go after voices of dissent.

This is really bad. It would be a mistake to invoke Germany. This is our own blend of authoritarian takeover but it isn't too late.

The president has many millions of people that take his word over factual information. That should scare people way more than it is.

Why, thanks for the heads up that you were about to unload excuses for your argument failing.

As for Benghazi, I suppose the fact that the Republican Congress turned down a request for added security prior to the attack is also just an "excuse" to you.

And I've already put in about 10x as much effort talking about Benghazi as you ever will talking about the incident I linked. Bye now.
