On Tuesday, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) released a 30-second ad to promote a bill that would fully fund the Trump administration’s request to build a wall. It was no ordinary ad.

In several shots set to highly synthesized, electronic dance music, Ryan can be seen touring the border with a thumbs up sign on a helicopter, traveling on a boat, and riding a horse alongside members of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency.

“I had the opportunity to travel down to Texas to go to the Rio Grande Valley and spend time with our Border Patrol,” Ryan said in the video, against the bizarre backdrop of upbeat techno music. “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. That’s why we’re going to get this done this week.”

3. OFFS

Another meaningless photo-op like washing out already-cleaned pots.



His fucking state is right near an unprotected border. He and the entire GOP can pay for the wall out of their salaries and investments. It should be more than enough.

4. I dedicated my life to earning a living, raising a family and paying my taxes

Paul has dedicated his to TAKING from me what I have earned, my Medicare and Social Security.
I am tired of worrying that he and the GOP will take it.

I am getting angry.

5. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Lying Ryan. Bizarre and disgusting.

6. Some of my fondest memories are of camping on the Rio Grande

Swimming across the river and back, riding horses to a restaurant in Mexico. Never saw anyone who cared, much less authorities. It's already the most militarized peacetime border in history, for crissakes...

7. Simply odd! It's a vanity video, to share with us images of Ryan riding a horsie. Hot damn.

Is there nothing Ryan can't do?

He should show himself working with the House Republicans to prepare their version of an honorable American Health solution for citizens, just like the ones all the developed countries have.

Regarding his silly "weight lifting" photos, does he really imagine anyone sane could stand to see someone so simple minded he thinks he looks "cute" mugging, trying to look cute, or whatever? He looks like a middle aged, a strangely narcissistic tool who looks like Popeye when he thinks he's at his most adorable best.

8. No teeth?

I would be more impressed with him if he actually MET with his constituents. He accepts no calls, or visits. COWARD. He might be in trouble if Wis. eliminates gerrymandering. His constituents have FINALLY caught onto how little he actually does for them. as opposed to what he does for himself.

12. That's it...I am making my Floyd The Wall protest sign for a future march in San Diego.

I got the idea last night with the help of another DUer. It'll be like my home made Floyd bumper sticker with the fake Prez's big, ugly, orange face coming thought he white bricks in a wall and say "Hey you White House charade you are"

13. Isn't Mexico going to pay for the wall?

15. I'm a little surprised they didn't use Tejano music.

Because that's how tone deaf they can be.

16. every time his name is mentioned, someone needs to post those Screech at the gym pics

[SergeStorms]

17. Is that legal?

Can he use Federal employees for his partisan bullshit crusade to get Donnie McAsswipe's stupid wall built? It seems to me they should remain neutral in this, not prostitute themselves for Lyin' Ryan's political aggrandizement.

18. What the holy hell was that?
