I bet you didn't know John Kasich is one of those guys that walks up to you in the locker room naked and puts one foot up on the bench you're sitting on while he's talking to you so his junk is in your face.

“so it’s as good a time as any to go back to Janesville and skip leg day WHENEVER HE WANTS.”

Because the real problem he has in Washington is the other congressbros are always on him about doing curls in the squat rack.

Another blurb from me because I was so excited to get a chance to make a weight room joke that I didn’t finish reading before I blew my wad;

Who the fuck is looking for a spokesman for Marijuana and says to themselves, “John Boehner isn’t doing shit lately, hit him up and see if he’s down.”?

More of a gerbil, really, lodged in the NRA’s colon

Why would the Koch Brothers keep supporting him? He can't do anything for them out of office.

I would never work for anyone who required me to read an Ayn Rand novell as a condition of employment.

Some things are just beyond the pale, and Ayn Rand's abilities as a writer is certainly one of them.

The whole thing is pretty much a huge Republican Grift.

Wait. Is that the Janesville in Belarus? I think we still have extradition from Wisconsin, although Scott Walker has been working on nixing it.

Correct me if I am off track here but, what Ryan is announcing his retirement to make sure there are "qualified" Republican candidates registered on time for the cut off not because he is concerned about the mid term as much is he hedging his bets on Trump pulling a Midnight Massacre and forcing even the the Republicans in Congress to push for impeachment.

He might see his shot at President coming up and if not he can try to escape the taint of Trump.

Either way I think the Republicans might be tell Trump not to get rid of Mueller because they know he will probably do it. But if they can get him to fire the people doing the investigation, they might be able to stop the investigation and Trump, put up someone more to their liking, be it Pence or Ryan, and use that as a talking point at midterms.

I think the other issue that has been ignored is that as the probe gets closer to Trump's campaign, the closer it gets to the RNC's campaign finances, which even if not tainted by Russia could have other questionable sources that Mueller could run across and send to the appropriate AG.

Everybody's ready to treat Boehner like a cuddly mascot; but the viciousness of his knee-capping of President Obama was only exceeded by its dishonesty.

How much reefer can you get for a "dime" these days?

I worked (and I worked, I imagine, considerably harder than Paul Fucking Ryan) for 30 years , and retired at less than 1/3 of his pension. But his fan-bois would vociferously(!) agree that scum like me don't deserve what I earned, no doubt.
