3. The same thing all sane-sounding Republicans have in common

The word "former" in their title. Apparently on their way out the door and headed for the post-office gravy train, they get their spines back.

4. Don't forget Ryan was one of the Con's enablers, and once he got the GOP-drafted tax bill passed

he jumped ship to save his legacy. His speaking out now - out of office - is too little too late. He is as much to blame as the remaining GOP enablers still in office. Ryan is a spineless, self-serving snake like the rest of them.

6. Ryan's positioning himself for 2024

I've said this a number of times. Ryan wants to be president and he left the Trump shit show so he wouldn't be soiled.

He was a radical right-winger in the House and he's a lot smarter than Trump or Cruz or Cotton, etc.

We should watch Ryan's moves carefully.

13. I don't see Ryan making any of the moves consistent with another public campaign

He has become a major mover on corporate boards and is pocketing big pay checks, including as a Fox board member.

He has a young family and I suspect wants weekends with his family and wants to be rich.

Nice that he said something but who is listening? trump base? Q brained congresswoman, whatever her name is? Like I said, if vomit could crawl, it's name would be trump! Now I want to also include, if vomit could crawl, it's name would be the republican party!

The republican party is dead, and gone after fascist trump has taken full control of it now. The rule of law no longer applies to them , and the Constitution is only as good as the people in power in our government want to go by it, and these fascist don't.
