Paul Ryan looked sad. He cast his eyes down, and blinked sorrowfully. He wanted to do something for the DREAMer kids -- people who were brought to the US as tiny babies, and have known no other country. Here is what Paul Ryan said: “At the heart of this issue are young people who came to this country through no fault of their own, and for many of them it’s the only country they know. Their status is one of many immigration issues, such as border security and interior enforcement, which Congress has failed to adequately address over the years. It is my hope that the House and Senate, with the president’s leadership, will be able to find consensus on a permanent legislative solution that includes ensuring that those who have done nothing wrong can still contribute as a valued part of this great country."
You seem to have an uncanny connectedness with the Republican mindset. Normally, that'd be grounds for some serious side-eye, but the cut of your jib, I like it.
I think the only reason that line gives me even the slightest twinge of sympathy for ZEGS is because I remember the original short story, and my reactions are colored by the reaction I had to it.
Here is how Paul Ryan voted on the DREAM Act, which would have given kids work permits and freedom from the threat of deportation to young adults with a perfect attendance record of NO ATTENDANCE IN JAIL, when Nancy Pelosi passed it in the House of Representatives in 2010, and when the Senate failed by five votes to break a Republican filibuster: It was ‘no.’
Also among the nos, the Blue Dogs, including my rep back then, the useless Zach Space (D-OH).
When I was in school, I was taught that America was a representational democracy. We elect people to represent our interests in Congress. Why do the Republicans need to "get" something in return for representing the interests of their constituents? Overwhelming interests, I might add.
It's CEO leadership. The boss says what he wants done, and the underlings make it happen, and the boss takes credit for all the hard work that went into getting it done.

But at least the thing passed the House!
Always.

You might even say it's the triumph of the will.

yup
It is my hope that the House and Senate, with the president’s leadership, Yep, stop right there. You HAD a President's leadership, you voted "No".
While we're at it, let's fuck over people fleeing countries we've destabilized.
I thought it was high school without pants.
