Looks like Ryan isn't the only one not happy in his job. A story making the rounds on the web supposedly is an off the record rant of an anonymous GOP Congressman.

Unless this is really Ryan.

Language not suited for children.

I am not, nor have I ever been a republican.
I am a conservative, and we only the GOP as a vehicle because there just aren't enough of us for our own party.

Unlike the DNC and GOP, we have standards and morals!
Most republicans would never meet our standards.

The early leaders at this point appear to be House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Majority Whip Steve Scalise. Who do you like in that race?

That race may be for House Minority Leader, by the way. At last count, 37 current GOP Congressmen are not running for reelection.

Ryan will run for the Presidency when the GOP dumps Trump in 2020.

Wow... this clown is a real 'leader' and real 'man' too. Must hide in the toilet paper aisle of a Safeway to talk to a lunatic and a Seminarian, no less.

While reading on, we will learn what really and truly annoys this gutless and brainless GOP congressman:

... If Nancy Pilosi becomes Speaker, then she will f--k up the cafeteria menu...

The GOP deserves to lose in November, but if so, American patriots and citizens are the ones who will suffer the most.

i'd say there is no chance that Pelosi will become speaker. if she doesn't relinquish her hold the democrats may not take over the house. if she does, they win. she is old and getting pretty senile. her daughter will talk her out of wanting to become speaker again.

some factions of the democratic party are pretty moderate. of course, there are some that are far left and just as bad as far right conservatives. it seems that the American public does not have such a love affair for both conservatives and liberals who have managed to equally destroy the fiber of this country in the name of one-upmanship.

I think most republican finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. Finally, a president that has the country pointed in the right direction. They are jumping out of the swamp and headed home for the 'normal life.' This is Donald Trump's party now, who just happens to be a long time democrat, they are letting the people decide.

Ryan's announcement could further fragment the GOP Congress. As a lame duck, he is going to have even more problems uniting the House GOP members into getting things done.

Speculation is growing that he could be forced out as Speaker this summer. The question then is whether a new Speaker could get anything done, especially when the members go into virtually full time campaign mode, generally from August to November.

Paul Ryan said he plans to remain as speaker and not call an early leadership election, but well-wired Republicans tell Jonathan Swan and me that Ryan may be forced out sooner.

What we're hearing: One source close to leadership told us: "Scuttlebutt is that Paul will have to step down from speakership soon. Members won’t follow a lame duck, he’ll have no leverage to cut deals, and the last thing they need in this environment is 6 months of palace intrigue and everyone stabbing everyone else in the back."

Remember: All paths to being Republican speaker run through the Freedom Caucus. To get the job, McCarthy or Scalise would have to vie to offer them the best deal, which would likely include chairmanships of top committees for Freedom Caucus members.

Pelosi has some kind of facial twitch lately.
Can't stop 9it from twitching.

She should go look at hillary - her face has stopped a few clocks, maybe it would help.
