Pierce: Now Paul Ryan Is Casually Throwing Around the Word 'Cleanse'

WASHINGTON—You may have missed it, but two of the government’s most influential eunuchs came out in public on Tuesday. They sang their songs in a lovely soprano voice. There was hardly a dollop of spittle left to lick when they were done. First up was Speaker Paul Ryan, the zombie-eyed granny starver from the state of Wisconsin who had a bit of a meltdown at his daily press conference when the subject of the president*’s attempt to demolish the FBI came up. From The Hill:

“Let it all out, get it all out there. Cleanse the organization,” Ryan said, according to Fox. “I think we should disclose all this stuff. It’s the best disinfectant. Accountability, transparency — for the sake of the reputation of our institutions,” he added. Ryan reportedly made the remarks at a largely off-the-record session with anchors and reporters ahead of President Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday night. Ryan went on the record to address the release of the House Intelligence Committee memo.


"Cleanse”? Is he out of his mind? Does he have any idea what that word means in the history of the last century? And “cleanse” the FBI of what, precisely? Agents who know the truth about the corrupt old man who has Ryan’s balls on the mantelpiece at Mar-A-Lago? Agents who can draw into sharp relief all the damage that Ryan is willing to force the republic to endure so his donor class can suck up even more the nation’s wealth? You can put Paul Ryan’s essential patriotism in a shotglass and have more than enough room for the whiskey. He’s the biggest fake in the history of the Congress, and that’s saying something.

Russia has bought and paid for the entire corrupt party. They need to be overthrown immediately. Have you ever seen such a ridiculously lying bastard as speaker? He makes John Boehner look saintly!
