1. someone forgot the tax scam.

there should be some good toons coming out about this.

[gademocrat7]

2. What a grifter.

Good riddance.

[democratisphere]

3. Political Grifter.

Making the wealthiest wealthier at the expense of most others and blowing another gigantic hole in the national debt! What a guy!

[Fritz Walter]

4. Ayn Rand would be so proud!

May they roast in Capitalism Hell together!

[TranssexualKaren]

32. Remember...

Ayn Rand used ss when she was old and sick.

[turbinetree]

5. Fucking asshole..................

[pamdb]

6. Eddie Munster

Don't be fooled, I'm betting Ryan will return to run for president in
maybe 2024 or later. He's only 48, he's got a lot of time to destroy
social security (which he benefited from) medicare and medicaid. He'll take the summer off and maybe catch up on his re-reading of Ayn Rand, but he'll be back. Like the flu. He had a taste of it when he ran for VP, I have no doubt that, like the terminator, he'll be back.

[TranssexualKaren]

33. Dont you think

That his name recognition will be a little stale by then?

[niyad]

7. has this scum ever NOT sucked at the public teat?

[ffr]

8. I wonder how much this has to do with the Cohen raid

and direct ties between the RNC and Russia.

The rats are abandoning ship.

[MyOwnPeace]

9. I agree.........

and the list of rats keeps getting longer!

Looking to be an excellent opportunity for Dems!

[TranssexualKaren]

34. Interesting theory...

You mean the money laundering scheme: Russian oligarchs to the NRA to the Republican Party?

[hibbing]

10. Nice one EarlG

He is an evil dbag, see what nutjob they get for their "leader" now.


Peace

[pangaia]

11. Dem reps need to keep pounding

that repubs are to blame. THEY are the cowards, traitors, criminals. THEY must be brought to heel, fired, indicted...and found guilty.

[coeur_de_lion]

12. I think he will run for president

after "taking time off". He likes power too much. He had way too much fun sticking it to the middle class. He will be back.

[alp227]

35. Ask Newt Gingrich how his campaign went.

The last speaker, John Boehner, probably has crashed and burned politically now unless he wants to become a lobbyist.

[coeur_de_lion]

37. In that case I hope he does run

so we can watch him crash and burn.

[vkkv]

13. His HEALTH CARE is also paid for by the public as a part of his pay package..

[JDC]

14. Worst speaker ever. The suit doesn't get more empty

[BobTheSubgenius]

15. More like a case of

Getting Out Of Dodge Before The Shit Hits The Fan.

Too late for that, I'm sure, but he knows another term would be hellishly hard.

[malthaussen]

16. Good.

Subpoena-ing ya later.

[Still In Wisconsin]

17. My bet: Walker loses and Eddie Munster runs for Governor of Wisconsin in four years.

He (like Walker) has never had a real job.

[Gothmog]

18. K&R

19. Prepping for 2020, Paulie?

[calimary]

20. Buh-BYE!

I can’t help but suspect two ego-driven reasons are behind this.
1: he foresees (or his best internal intel forecasts) a GOP bloodbath in November and he doesn’t want to face the humiliation of handing “his” gavel over to a Democrat.
Or
2: he foresees an increasingly realistic prospect of being voted out of his own Congressional seat, because he’s facing an increasingly appealing Democratic challenger (Randy Bryce) in the midterms. And that would be HOWLINGLY humiliating!

I bet the “ghost of Eric Cantor” haunts him every minute of every day. Eric Cantor was a smug, swaggering GOP Congressional leader/Golden Boy too, with all kinds of upwardly-mobile perceptions and public assumptions, until he got primaried out of his seat a few years back. And now Cantor’s in a Wall Street job that pays him a king’s ransom with none of the political jungle warfare or aggravations or other “inconveniences” (like having to work with a certified moron in the White House).

Just my opinion, of course.

26. Rep. Sean Duffy (R) are you paying attention?

Duffy is another right winger that needs to go. Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District deserves far better than this hypocritical excuse of a representative.

The voters are catching on to the right wing con job you and others have gotten away with for way to long.

Supreme Court Justice (elect) Dallet is the proof..... your days are numbered.

[riversedge]

44. Wow. Three Republican incumbents just lost their Solid R rating: Beutler, McMorris Rodgers, & Duffy

Duffy is a lazy teabagger SOB!!

21. Hypocrisy will kill republicans with millennials,

Democrats need to hammer this home in campaigns.

[Julian Englis]

22. I hope Ryan spends his remaining years in federally funded housing run by the Federal Prison Bureau

Fair is fair

[usaf-vet]

23. As an ex-military medic I have seen first hand untimely deaths and mass trauma....

.... so no matter how I would try and cannot bring myself to wish those horrible things on anyone including Paul Ryan. But short of that I hope he dies at a ripe old age and penniless. And that the history books will label him as the person who wanted it all for himself while at the same time denying healthcare, happiness, and financial security to the 99%.

He is one evil bastard. Who should be remembered as one.

[LisaM]

31. Yeah....I just want these guys

To have to depend on the social services they are so happy to cut.

[LW1977]

24. A neme from Tombstone comes to mind..

Well.......................................... Bye.

[C Moon]

25. More money and less stress as a scum bag corporate lobbyist.

[vlyons]

27. What I said this morning, when I heard he was quitting

I said it twice and loud

Yeah! Yeah!

[Ilsa]

28. Are we allowed to use that pic on Twitter? nt

[dalton99a]

29. Perfect summary of Paul Ryan

[eppur_se_muova]

30. "I've done enough. It's time to step aside and let the next Young Guns ruin America's future." nt

[NCjack]

36. Randy "Ironstache" Bryce, who is Paul Ryan's DEM opponent,

scared Ryan out of the race. Send "Ironstache" a campaign donation in recognition removing Ryan from Congress. Thank you, "Ironstache"!!!

[PatrickforO]

38. Exactly.

It beggars the imagination to see how many of these right wingers actually BENEFITED from the stuff they want to take away from the rest of us.

[dae]

39. PoS, good riddance!

[Sparkly]

40. Perfect.

[apkhgp]

41. As Clint Eastwood liked to say in "Dirty Harry" movies...

Marvelous.

And the Right Wing likes to talk about how the Left Wing is screwing over the General Public. Way to go Assholes.

[Cha]

42. little fucker.. you

nailed him, EarlG
