We far-right, knuckle-dragging, racist-sexist-bigot-homophobes have been wondering all week what to make of Speaker Ryan’s newly sprouted facial fur. The latest theory (maybe not that crazy… who knows anymore?!) is that Obama – being a closet Muslim(?) – can’t really grow a beard in keeping with Islamic tenets as long as he’s president. So Paul Ryan grew one for him. 😀

 
Yes, we laugh to keep from crying over the latest GOP betrayal on the year-end Omnibu$ bill. Here’s John Gray’s analysis (at Conservative Review) of the debacle ~ These 5 Budget Charts Will Ruin Your Christmas ~

For the first time since 2006, Republicans control both the House and the Senate. The nod to conservatives was supposed to result in smaller government and less spending. Instead, the Republican Omnibus bill will usher in the first year (FY2016) of increased spending in decades. After all these years of Democrat control, how did spending actually increase under Republican leadership?

Because they totally abandoned conservative principles ~

… there was no attempt at reducing spending or defunding many of the most important conservative causes, including:
 
• Homeland Security grants to cities that refuse to enforce federal immigration law, locations dubbed “sanctuary cities.”
• The refugee vetting process, particularly with regard to refugees from Syria and Iraq.
• Abortion funding for Planned Parenthood;
• Bureaucratic regulations relating to the Environmental Protection Agencies and the Corps of Engineers “Waters of the United States.”
• Obamacare

 
Sorry America if I just ruined your Christmas. You can thank Congress for that.

 
Especially Paul Ryan. Who is not only a turncoat – he’s yet another ruling class hypocrite: Paul Ryan Builds Border Fence Around His Mansion, Doesn’t Fund Border Fence in Omnibus ~

As Breitbart News’s photographic documentation reveals, Ryan’s home is surrounded by a tall border fence reinforced by equally high bushes— ensuring both privacy and security. Moreover, the fence is manned by an on-duty agent who guards his property’s perimeter. Upon even the slightest appearance of any unusual activity— such as a 5’2″ female taking a photograph of the fence— Ryan’s border agent will deploy into action to ensure the perimeter’s sovereignty.

Here’s my favorite Tweet of the week:
