I haven’t written much politically on here lately because in the Era of Trump it makes no real sense. Every day is a minimum of three rabbit holes and another dose of Trump fatigue.
So—today GOP Speaker of the House Paul Ryan told us he’s calling it quits and going back home to Wisconsin to be with his family. Whatever.
I think it’s always noble to put family over other things, but I doubt this was the only consideration. The main consideration I would think is that he discovered what previous GOP House Speaker John Boehner already knew. Which is…the modern Republican Party has become a rogue party in which even if one Democrat didn’t exist on the face of the Earth it would not be able to govern itself with any sense of unity or coherence.
This is what Paul Ryan came to realize. He realized he was missing time away from his children to in essence babysit a group of people who got their tax break and won’t be able to come to any terms of agreement on much of anything else.
So why embarrass yourself further and miss time away from your teenage children?
I’m sure Fox News Network will this spin this entirely different. But it is what it is.
Today’s three rabbitholes in case you need clarification… 1 Paul Ryan to step down, 2 Trump tells Putin he’s sending missiles to Syria, and 3 Trump seriously considering firing Mueller.
This is reality show Freak Down America. This is what America has become and no one more than Paul Ryan knows it.
Go home, Speaker Ryan and pray history will be forgiving.
For me…to get thru the rest of the week. This sustains me for some reason.
