Ryan shoves his head further up Trump's Posterior: 'It is time for the wall'

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) called for action on President Trump's proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border in a video he tweeted out on Tuesday.

"RT if you agree," he posted on Twitter, along with a video of a border visit he made. "It is time for the wall."


The video shows Speaker Ryan on a visit to the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, where he met with border patrol forces.

"When you see what they're up against, it really gives you even greater respect for what they do. They clearly need more tools and more support to do their jobs effectively," he said.

Just like his failed health care plan, now he's going to promote the wall. This project is stupid for so many reasons that it seems perfect for the Republican Congress's resident genius.

Ryan sure knows how to pick 'em.

Plus, no one wants to immigrate to trump's Amerikkka. Money thrown at a (permeable) wall is money wasted.

Trump's "National Emergency" regarding Opiate usage is going. Not disputing that it's a real problem, of course, but "The Wall" isn't the answer IMHO and I'm afraid that that's going to be their new justification for it.

Today's pro-Russian Republican would say, "Mr Gorbachev, reinforce this wall!"
