In the wake of the news that House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) will not seek reelection in November, Sen. John Thune (R-SD) reflected on the speaker’s turbulent relationship with President Donald Trump.
“That’s been a little bit of a difficult marriage from the beginning,” Thune, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer Wednesday morning. “They’re very different in terms of temperament and character, but he is somebody who I think recognized that President Trump presented an opportunity to get some things on the agenda done and, frankly, they have been.
“I think it’s been very productive in this first year of President Trump’s presidency working with Speaker Ryan and our leadership on Capitol Hill and I think there’s a real record of accomplishment,” he continued.
Thune added that Ryan’s retirement is a “loss to the institution,” but predicts that he will be back on the scene seeking national office before too long.

Let’s hope Ryan goes back home and only makes goat cheese!
And yet…and YET. He voted with the CheetoFucker 100% of the time. I’ll say that again…NOT ONE SINGLE FUCKING VOTE against enabling Trump. So this false-flag sympathy stuff you’re gonna start hearing 7/24 to redeem the worst speaker in US history is all just more BS from the right.
As I understand it, pretty much every Trump marriage turns out to be difficult.
Why, oh why am I covered with all these fleas from that dog I slept with?
He continually enabled the worst president in our history’s election, corruption, and destruction of our norms and policies. That’s quite a legacy, there, Johnnie.
Who was sore and bleeding? Did Trump move on Paul too heavily and take him furniture shopping? Did he tell him he was as pretty and smart as Iwanka?
