  1. Hopefully they both choke on taco salads.

    That is just B.S. If Rump isn’t receiving intel briefings everyday day then he’s speaking to Ryan even less than that. And besides - why would he anyway? Rump has no intention whatsoever of taking this thing seriously.

    EDIT TO ADD: @josephebacon Can I take a guess? First off are tax cuts for the 1%. Then work on revising the tax code to eliminate most if not all deductions the middle class take.

By the end of 2017 will come restricting voting rights.

  4. Can we just get it over with and declare Trump Tower the new American Capital and Trump our @realemperorTrump? What the hell are we waiting for - decorum?

  5. I guess it’s Ryan’s turn to provide the saliva…
