Paul Ryan is Not that much Better than Trump

Last edited Sat Apr 28, 2018, 06:35 AM - Edit history (1)

maybe a couple years ago i would have said even with all of Ryan's negatives he is far better than Trump just because Trump is such a low class shitty person. you think of many of the worst people you know and trump is far worse than that.

but after seeing Paul Ryan's actions and his protection of scum of Nunes and the Sexual Abusers like Farenthold and his propping up of Trump it's not just a matter of having a difference with him on issues. he really is close to being as bad as Trump is.

the firing of the Chaplain because the Chaplain doesn't prop up right wing trash says it all. if the Chaplain had protected sexual abusers, was a bigot, stole money, Ryan would not have fired him.

Paul Ryan may still not be as bad as Trump overall but i will say Ryan is probably a bigger coward than Trump.

Ryan is just a smaller infinity of evil

It's just that difficult to make a comparison.

His family gazing at him devotedly as he rinsed an already clean pan in a kitchen where nothing was being cooked for a dining hall where no one was present. It was one hell of a lesson in 'charity' for his children to absorb.

Trump is chaotic, a whirlwind of crap. He lashes out when someone attacks his ego (which covers most everything in his world), but I doubt he has the intellectual capacity to plan very far ahead. He's reactive.

Ryan is a planner and literally everything he plans will cause harm to others.

One of the worst human beings on the face of the earth. Who really deserves to be beaten to a pulp.
