Republican con man, Ayn Rand fan boy and zombie-eyed granny starver (h/t Charlie Pierce), Paul Ryan, made a lot of important-sounding word-noises about the corrosive state of our Trumpolitics these days come out of his mouth hole today.

And when he very deliberately fragged all of his important-sounding word-noises by dropping this in the middle of them and pulling the pin --

“How many of you find yourself shaking your head at what you see from both sides of the aisle these days?”

-- I knew I could stop even pretending to listen.

There can be no end to political madness in this country until this kind of speech is laughed at every time anyone tries it.
