The latest to cave in meekly to the Donald: Republican Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve never really taken to Mr. Ryan. During Con-a-thon 2012, when he was Spiff Romney&#8217;s vice-presidential candidate, we noted the several times he just flat out lied or was a complete hypocrite. (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?p=2082\" target=\"_blank\">Here<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?p=2103\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?p=2264\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Nothing&#8217;s changed really. For months, he claimed he wasn&#8217;t interested in taking over Speaker of the House for John Boehner and then suddenly &#8230;BOOM&#8230; he&#8217;s Speaker of the House. So I guess this latest development shouldn&#8217;t come as any surprise. Paul Ryan has been boldly stating (or conning) these past several months that he just can&#8217;t support Donald Trump. But after a &#8216;very important&#8217; meeting this past week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/powerpost\/wp\/2016\/06\/02\/paul-ryan-endorses-donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan now endorses Trump<\/a>. What a man of integrity! Why shucky darn&#8230;with guys like Trump and Ryan leading the way, changing their points of view every time the wind blows, America&#8217;s sure to be great again in no time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4760\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4760\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4760 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ryanendorsestrump.jpg\" alt=\"Jug eared Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, shows what a man of integrity he is by supporting someone he can't stand like Donald Trump much to the delight of one of his plutocratic overlords.\" width=\"500\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ryanendorsestrump.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ryanendorsestrump-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4760\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, shows what a man of integrity he is by supporting someone he can&#8217;t stand like Donald Trump much to the delight of one of his plutocratic overlords.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The so called GOP stalwarts, who have so brazenly yelled what a monster Donald Trump is, are falling one by one to the bullying charms of this authoritarian megalomaniac.
