The Freedom Caucus is the worst sub-group in Congress in maybe 150 years.

and let's not forget the freedom caucus is the re-named tea baggers! They started this whole downward spiral in 2010, and will not quit until we are the third world country they envision!

and blame the GOP who controls everything and is responsible for what happens.

I do think we're going to shutdown.

in his Home State,he no doubt sees the end of his Congressional Career and his hope of the Presidency in 2028 disappearing in front of him.

So sad!

and it sure as hell ain't working

except for the purpose of placing blame! The worst of it is that the morons who are trumpanzees, believe it and there's no way to open their eyes!

“We don’t need any Democrats in the House,” boasted senior appropriator Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.). Okay then you can't have it both ways and blame them if it fails.

I hope they eat him alive.

Paul Ryan is a disgrace.

Sucks to be you!

We should loudly tell everyone we are done with them. Scream how they negotiated repeatedly in bad faith with the last straw being the meeting/ambush last week with Trump. Sounds like that may have even been a red line for Graham who is vowing to oppose any house backed short term plan, but we shall see. I am skeptical he can ever defy the trumpen-fuhrer.

Every Democratic statement, press conference etc should start by reminding the people and reporters that the Democratic party has no power.

The tea-party will happily shut down government for a year. They do not care.

Make Ryan scrap the 'little-boy molester rule' that has made house republicans so unable to rule.

It is a no win for him. And for those who say we have to compromise to save DACA and CHIP. Go spend time(if you can stand to) on the base websites for the Tea Party nuts. They hate DACA and CHIP with a passion. The republicans and the president will never agree to save DACA or CHIP. For heaven sake, they killed it. We are going to see thousands of young people deported this spring, summer and fall.

Then we will have a chance to turn the tables.

You think Trump is acting like a fascist now? Wait until and equal branch of government is controlled by the opposing party and starts having real, on air hearings and investigations. That is why so many republicans are retiring. Not because they do not want to be in the minority. But because they know what those hearings will look like and lead too.

is dead on arrival in the Senate. Unless he deals with the Dems, he's just passing a shit sandwich to McConnell that will never pass the Senate. This "blame the Dems" crap won't fly. They own the government right now, but can't control their own caucus, thus can't govern. My heart bleeds for the wankers.

First thing that occurred to me when i read this headline.

Although Paul Ryan's more like a boil on the ass of humanity than a pimple on it's face. . . .
