You're gonna want to slap me Duchess, but I still think Paul Ryan is a decent man. He's always struck me as such, though I disagree with his priorities and proposed policies on most counts.
Boy did Ryan do some dancing in this morning's press conference though. He's not gonna rush through a new Obamacare replacement plan because it's too important an issue and it takes time to get things right? Come on Paul, you're the one who imposed short deadlines and pushed the Republican House Reps to suck it up and support the really shitty bill. Moonwalking.
Ryan has one hell of a tough job. I always picture Boehner drinking whiskey and smiling in relief that his ass no longer occupies the Speaker's seat.
Ryan needs to replace Nunez as chair of the House Intelligence Committee; Nunez has seriously compromised his perceived objectivity in terms of the Russian interference investigation and it looks even worse considering he was part of the Trump transition team (compounded by Nunez's weird public statements).
However, if Ryan does that, he gets off sides with the White House again and it would look like the Dems got their way. I think Ryan will regret not sidelining Nunez anyway; it's the right thing to do.
So, having failed in torching Obamacare, the White House is reportedly busy looking at undoing Obama's major environmental protection initiatives, domestic and global. I fear that they'll have a much easier time getting the science-denying and progress-hating Republicans to unite on this one, but I really hope not.
