Paul Ryan Deletes Tweet Lauding a $1.50 Benefit From the New Tax Law

He's such a fucking idiot!

Clueless. Absolutely clueless.

Was the damn secretary making a joke or was she just a ridiculous deplorable?

I honestly thought it was an Onion article.

She was serious.

what a fumbling hack. He should go back to working the drive thru.

Hey, $1.50 is almost a pack of Juicy Fruit! That secretary has had a significant uptick in spending power and lifestyle enhancement. Thanks, Paul Ryan!

He actually might not be evil, just stupid.

Dear Lord in Heaven!

Wisconsin voters must have CTE-adjacent from wearing fake cheese on their heads. How else can votes for him be explained or justified?

He must be on the spectrum....he is right?

I hate him... but I want to fuck him

Back to the wiener mobile.

I don’t get the attraction. To me he looks like there was once something attractive under his current exaggerated features, but his face is like the picture of Dorian Gray: the more damage he does to his soul, the uglier he gets.

I think he looks like Dopey the Dwarf from Snow White - he just needs that lame hat on his head.

The only physical appeal I see is 1) not bald and 2) Precious Moments eyes.

Can’t believe that he tweeted that. Think about how STUPID you have to be for that to happen.

It was A DOLLAR FIFTY for crying out loud.

He’s a fucking ugly retard.

Waiting for him to claim it was an assistant who posted that. Should be any minute.

With that bonus we'll be able to get a better apartment!

Sociopath.

Actually, all of them are. Trump, Pence, Ryan, McConnell. Disgusting.

Once the lady pays for her membership, what is she going to do at Costco? If she couldn't afford to put away $1.50 per month before the tax cut, then maybe a store that sells watermelons in bags of 4 might not be a good place to shop at for her.

This is the best that America can do?

Ryan is such a fucking cunt

$1.50 a week? Now you can all remodel you kitchens

Aw c'mon folks!

What's even funnier about this is that the GOP have been all over Nancy Pelosi's "crumbs" remark, claiming that this is the 2018 version of "deplorables." And then bonehead Ryan does something like this, proving Pelosi right.

He's just another tone deaf Randian asshole; an objectivist idiot who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room.

this is the world he lives in. Throw a couple of coins to the poor and give millions to the rich, and you are "doing good."

You don't understand R29. Ryan is rich because he deserves to be. Rich people work harder than poor people. Poor people are poor because that's what they deserve. They don't work as hard as Paul Ryan. The United States is big ole meritocracy.

Poor stupid lady has no idea that she will soon be paying for the $1.5 trillion hole this tax law put in the deficit over a decade.

Enjoy your Costco membership now because she'll be eating at the soup kitchen soon.

He totally deserves that $500,000 the Koch brothers gave him the day after they passed the tax bill.

Ryan could give 333K+ Americans $1.50 with the money that he received from the Koch brothers.

R30. Remember shitbag Ryan is a Christian. He deserves to be richer than sinners AKA poor people.

"Ryan is rich because he deserves to be."

Ryan is rich because he's been sucking at the public teat his entire life. Well, that and being pimped out by the Cock Brothers.

You get a $1.50 refund, but since they removed the ACA mandate, you pay $150 more a month for health insurance.

R36, yes but now I can get a COSTCO membership! Duh!

MSNBC did an interview with this woman last night (on FaceTime) and I was a bit drunk while watching (so forgive my vague description) but she basically said that he must not have read the article because there were negative quotes about the tax cut before and after hers...she didn't quite come out and reject him but she was definitely not PRO Trump/Ryan (at least in the interview)...

Well, it was CBS but here is a link...

Being dumb as shit doesn't preclude being evil. Just look at Trump.

emember John Edwards's $400 haircut? That turned out to be quite a problem for him. It looks like Paul Ryan is about have a similar problem on his hands. According to this astounding article (with pictures) at Talking Points Memo, Ryan -- the leader of the tighten-your-belt, fiscal-austerity crowd -- is in the habit of drinking $350-a-bottle wine, specifically Jayer-Gilles 2004 Echezeaux Grand Cru. In fact, Ryan enjoyed two bottles of this fancy Pinor Noir while dining the other night with a pair of conservative economists at Bistro Bis, the swanky Capitol Hill restaurant favored by lobbyists and other expense-account barons.

JUL 8, 2011 Ryan had the misfortune of sitting at the table next to Susan Feinberg, a Rutgers business professor, who didn't share his nonchalance about calling for draconian budget cuts for the poor and elderly by day and then sipping $350-a-bottle wine by night. Feinberg confronted Ryan after dinner and demanded to know "how he could live with himself." Confronted by TPM, Ryan did not deny the story, but lamely pleaded ignorance about the cost of the wine. And he was rather ungallant to Ms. Feinberg, whom he called "crazy."

If there's any justice in the world, Ryan ought to get at least as much grief for this as Edwards got. And if I were President Obama's adviser, I'd suggest that he add $350 wine to that line about Republicans defending corporate jets and hedge-fund fat cats.

LOLGOP @LOLGOP

Charles, a Koch brother in Wichita, said he was pleasantly surprised that his pay went up $26,923,076 a week... he said [that] will more than cover the cost of buying several more Paul Ryans

That is disgusting, r41.

R41, he won't get as much grief. The media and the party shills refuse to admit it out loud, but Democrats are held to a higher standard. It's an unspoken expectation that Republicans are greedy, selfish, hypocritical fucks, so they are never made to account for that kind of behavior. Dems are supposed to be the "good" ones, so their conduct is always under harsher scrutiny.

[quote] R30: Rich people work harder than poor people. Poor people are poor because that's what they deserve. T

The Pagans in ancient Rome believed that the rich were objectively better than the poor.

Paul Ryan

Because trump can't lick his own balls

I think he looks like Pansy Yokum.

this guy has a permanent L attached to his forehead.

He's is way more dangerous than Trump because he has actual power that he is using to cut down basic rights even further. Down with the general public, all money and power to the rich.

A '$1.50' deleted tweet by House Speaker Paul Ryan just raised his Democratic challenger more than $150,000

How glorious would it be if Ryan didn’t get re-elected?

How glorious would it be if Ryan died in a grease fire?

Paul Ryan became rich the old fashioned way, by marrying into a wealthy family.

Is Ryan planning to run again?

His press secretary is defending this shit

Clueless

Everytime I look at Ryan I see a sociopath...a man who really only cares about himself.

Paul Ryan knows he fucked up and deleted the tweet but his press secretary is still trying to pretending touting 1.50 a week as if it will improve poor workers life isn't embarrassing?

R55, but the responses are amazing.

"Weirder trend: Republicans pretending Paul Ryan didn't accidentally tell the truth about this tax plan with his "wow, a whole $1.50!" tweet."

He just infuriates me. Even more than the rest of that crew.

Ryan needs to F.O.N.D.A.
