The New Yorker: Paul Ryan Keeps It All in the Family
https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/paul-ryan-keeps-it-family-kevin-mccarthy-russia-trump
Dana Rohrabacher is a Republican from California with a peculiar amalgam of views: pro-marijuana, dubious about climate change, pro-torture. For this last position, in 2007, Keith Olbermann awarded him his periodic Worst Person in the World award, on his old MSNBC show. Like Trump, Rohrabacher has been highly solicitous of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Last year, Politico ran an article on Rohrabacher called Putins Favorite Congressman.
In the Post piece, McCarthys remark is met with laughter, and Ryan cautions his colleagues, This is an off the record . . . No leaks! . . . All right?
And then, amid more laughter, Ryan says, This is how we know were a real family here.
Thats how you know that were tight, Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip, says.
Whats said in the family stays in the family, Ryan concludes.

Lying Ryan's legacy - helped bring down democracy and screwed the USA's citizens.

But, he would have lost to the moustache guy.
Another Repub may not.
Hopefully, the media narrative will be that Ryan has given up on gopchances to hold House and he doesnt want to be minority lead.

(10,278 posts)What complete bullshit. That viper did everything he could to undercut, undermine, and backstab everything Bohener ever attempted while Obama was president.
It wouldn't have been a great deal, but at least Bohener was willing to sit with a democratic president and talk about how to solve problems.
That was until Ryan started in on his tea - party bullshit.
Ryan is speaker today because he orchestrated the stabbing of his own partys ceaser. He's a ratfucker, a dead-eyed viper, and a treason-weasel and my only hope for him is that his lawyer sucks.
His District is only R+5, he almost got booted once in 2008 during the first Obama election. He, like many so called moderate Republicans, is feeling the heat.
