While Paul Ryan was explaining that being a Member of the House does not entail spending much time working on actual reforms in D.C.--like ya'know, "draining the swamp,"--Ryan did come up with an excuse:
"...we’re doing is we’re going back and getting Obama-era regulations and repealing those regulations and sending that bill to the Senate. We’ve done about 15 here in the house — remember the coal one?”
“How many pieces of legislation have been signed by the president into law?” Carlson asked. “Any?”
“These are very good questions,” Ryan said. “We have the Senate now, they have to approve Donald Trump’s cabinet. They have to put 1,200 people through the Senate to populate the Trump government, and Chuck Schumer can burn up to 30 hours per person.”

So, Donald. Pay attention.
Perhaps he needs the BLM treatment from his constituents. Such blatant, self-serving complacency should face some real life consequences, just as Harry Reid did in his gym "accident".
