House Speaker Paul Ryan is not seeking re-election and will retire from Congress after this year, the Wisconsin Republican announced Wednesday.
“You realize something when you take this job,” Ryan told reporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday morning. “It’s a big job with a lot riding on you … but you also know this is not a job that does not last forever. … You realize you hold the office for just a small part of our history.

He’s a snake. After Trump won the nomination he made no secret of the fact that he didn’t support Trump. After Trump won, Ryan was kissing up singing Trump’s praises.

Pretty typical in the world of politicians. On both sides. That’s why people say never trust a politician. 🙂
