It shows his amusement and embarrassment at the same time.

It's sort of like he is happy that the GOP is able to exploit the American people but he's also embarrassed at the fact Trump and McConnell have the power they wield.

I'm no fan of Paul Ryan but the pictures interesting

I'm coming to the conclusion that corporate America wants rid of our democracy. Democracy is for the little guy, protects the little guy. Reagan started the big lie about government being the problem.

Our courts are being packed with fascists,
Our public education is being dumbed down,
Our public agencies that are supposed to protect us are being led by corporatists,
Our regulations to protect us are being gutted,
Our environment is being destroyed,
Our politicians are bought off, money in politics is unlimited from people like Sheldon Adelson,
Our elections are being rigged,
Our districts are being gerrymandered,
Putin, Bibi, and MBS control our foreign policy because they bought off Trump,
Corporate America controls our minds by controlling the narrative in the M$M.
Republicans joined forces with corporate America to destroy our democracy.

We all need to be very scared. We all need to be very angry. We all need to get out and vote, to win back the Senate, to win back the presidency like our way of life depends on it. If we lose in 2020.....you fill in the blank.
