House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) on Sunday said the House will pass a short-term spending bill to keep the government funded through the first week of February if the Senate manages to pass it.

“We’ve agreed that we would accept that in the House,” Ryan said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “And so we will see sometime today whether or not they have the votes for that.”

Asked whether he plans to run for reelection in 2018, Ryan said, “I’m not going to share my thinking with you before I even talk to my wife.”

“I have no plans of going anywhere anytime soon,” he added.

  1. Why would Ryan want to go anywhere?
    Where else can he get a job ,other then a weatherman, that pays well, has benefits,cannot be fired,can be wrong 95% of the time and still have one hell of an retirement?

  2. I am so glad the Dems aren’t giving the likes of Ryan and McConnell an inch – let those fuckers stew in the excrement they alone made.

    As if he could get any other kind of budget passed.

    Is that what they’re calling the Koch brothers these days?

    Snark aside, I can believe his wife doesn’t know, but the Koch’s damn sure do.

    It’s just the Republican way. The media has to learn to phrase these questions with that in mind.
