Ryan on November: "I don't think we're going to lose control"

RYAN ON NOVEMBER’S CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS:
“If we do lose control of either of the two bodies, then you’ll have absolute gridlock. You’ll have gridlock, you’ll have subpoenas, you’ll have just the system shutting down…I don’t think we’re going to lose control, but I think that’s what would happen.”

We the people in order to maintain
a more perfect union we condemn
this corrupt, dysfunctional government
dominated, aided and protected
by the Republican Party who sold
our rule of law, our constitution,
our founding principles of the
Republic.
To the Republican Party we will
not surrender the republic. We
Will vote you out. We will expose
you for what you become, The Trump
Party not the real Republican Party
Of yesterday .

Democrats are lazy and don’t get out and vote. Everyday we are becoming more numb to twitlers antics. He is wearing people down. Russia interference, voter suppression and the media will again fall in line for the rethug rhetoric. The WH Correspondents dinner response has been such a great disappointment. Ms Wolf was correct twitler brings them ratings and money from advertisers why stop that gravy train? Until one is hurt by a twitler supporter they will stay on the twitler train to hell.

So basically what the GOP has done for years?? Cool Paul...you accomplished exactly jack shit during your time as speaker, other than the sloppy, slapped together tax cut...which even you know will eventually be undone. So, congrats, you Ayn Rand sycophant fuck...you lost, you got nothing. Now do us a favor and go fuck yourself.

Russia has had a lot of time to perfect their vote tampering. they've probably figured out ways to launder votes transmitted electronically that will leave no fingerprint. Or maybe it could be found if it were investigated, but we know that would never happen.

Russia isn't going to easily give up this nice gig they got set up here in the US.

The Left are pretty fickle voters and if they think they will win too many may just stay home.
But with a Republican president the GOP richly deserves to see what gridlock is like.
