I remember when he came out saying that he didn’t want to be Speaker because it would take up too much of his “personal time” with his family. I did a quick calculation and figured he was getting about five times more “personal time” than your average line unit PFC and I’ve hated him ever since.
But I’m sure he will have a fine career as a lobbyist and burn the midnight oil to do so.
Don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ Paul.
Why are so many Republicans jumping ship?? ( even the fake ones)

And good riddance…
I sincerely hope the entire Republican party self destructs. Maybe then we can let true conservatives, or preferably libertarians, have a real chance.
Well 26, I’m hoping as you read this that you’re not having your blood pressure checked;
Perhaps Paul Ryan will, as his predecessor seek out “greener” pastures in the lobbyist field?

John A. Boehner,the former Republican speaker of the House whooncesaid he was “unalterably opposed” todecriminalizingmarijuana laws, has joined a board ofdirectorsfor a cannabis companywith an eye on rolling back federal regulations.
The former Ohio congressmanhas been appointed tothe board of advisers ofAcreage Holdings, invokingthe need for veterans to access the drug legally*to explain his change of heart,*Boehner said in a statement Wednesday.

Boehner said his perspective shifted after he saw the plant’s efficacy in helping a close friend deal with debilitating back pain. Marijuana’s potential use as a treatment for veterans helped sway him, too. Plus he’s been studying the problems of the U.S. criminal justice system for years.
So after decades of shoveling money at “The War on Drugs” and I’m sure someone was twisting his arm with some campaign donations to do that, he retires and Oh, what don’tcha know, he switches sides?
Yeah, well I could care one way or the other, the point is Paul is as likely to do something like this as John was.
Good riddance, asscheese. Anybody dumbe enough to get rolled by Patty “Wants To Make Little Terrorist Babies With Osama” bin Murray, the Village Idiot of the Senate (and unfortunately “my” senior senator), is too dumb for any job more complicated than french-fry cook.
Hey now, don’t be insulting some those good fry cooks. 
I know how you feel, she mine too.

Maybe the cuck RINOs are finally beginning to see the writing on the wall? 
I can see John Boehner after three big bong hits sending some poor unpaid intern out in to the night to buy a pack of Black Jack Chewing Gum, a six pack of Yoo-Hoo’s and two cases of Ding Dong’s.
But I guess every retiree deserves a little fun now and then.
Imho here, but I get the feeling that those jumping ship now just don’t like Trump (Ryan never did) , don’t want to be a part of what he’s doing and how he behaves, (let’s face it, even his supporters wish he’d shut up once in awhile), or figure they are going to lose their seat anyway.
Trump’s in for a huge surprise when Pelosi is speaker. And he caused it.
Paul RINO? Good riddance…
Sorry, the Fifteentard minimum-skillers are a Pet Peeve too. As a freelancer, $15/hour is my CHARITY rate–“this is my bare minimum, I’m taking a loss on this but I believe in your cause.” No benefits, no medical, no nothing–not even withholding so I have to write checks to the IRS and the various branches of the State L&I racket by hand. They want the same rates that I get, plus that much again in benefits for less than HALF my skilled-labor productivity, like some high-school or college dweeb is the equal of my networking contacts and clients, building resources and relationships one-by-one over many years that let me do what I do in Historical Research or connect them with someone suitable to help with their project? What the actual throw-some-dumbass-off-the-Space Needle MONGOLIAN GOATF***?! (Pro Tip: You can tell a lot about my feelings by how I word my response. The more syllables in my invective, the more pissed off I am.)
Excuse me. Rant over, I feel better now. I think…
This. Straightaway.
Look at the wall. Read the writing.
Buy low, sell high.
It’s business.
Specifically Ryan can now go home and be the ‘family man’. Come back later and say he opposed Trump but never got on his bad side. Will work across the isle, probably come back with an ‘evolved’ 2A stance.
The others are just variations on that theme. He really hit the jackpot though.
While I agree in princpal, I just wonder how bad are we gunowners are gonna get it in the mean time, with the democrats in control,(very probably after this fall) while this new conservative/libertarian republican party gets it’s act together, and takes back the house/senate… Flintlocks anyone?
Or, you know, the GOP could have just stfu for a change and fell in line like a good bunch repubs and actually done something constructive to further their platform instead of trying to subvert Trump at every turn. But oh wait I forgot their content being the permanent minority and deep down really wanted Hillary to win.

You guys crack me up…
You do understand what is happening here right?
You know what is going to happen this election and what is going to happen in 2020?
I am not sure what is going to happen in 2018 much less 2020.
The country is almost equally divided and it is going to be which side has the larger turnout.
This.
I would guess if you pay close attention to some key events, you’ll see that there are a lot more conservatives than you might think.
Constant liberal slant on ESPN, their numbers tank.
CNN goes full Trump hate 24/7 numbers drop.
Roseanne has a pro Trump show, the numbers go up.
So as much as we may be told that conservatives are in the minority, after all the “Polls” all say so, other ways to track these trends show otherwise.
A lot of this narrative is a boon for Republican fund raising, on the other hand the MSM loves to point out how backwards thinking conservative values are.
As much as the two party system is a rigged game, there are still a lot of conservatives out there.
Tell me what I said isn’t true
