Paul Ryan inherited a position that he didn't want in the first place because Boehner resigned out of almost nowhere, and as the last Presidential Vice President Candidate, Congressional Republicans rallied together and appointed and voted him in

With Boehner having just resigned, Ryan knew that his dismissal of the position would lead to division in the party with Barack holding the reigns, so he accepted, and as soon as he had an opportunity, he retired completely

His retirement had nothing to do with his Kids. Paul Ryan found an escape from the job he never wanted while there was a Republican in the executive branch

The only thing i really know about Ryan was how much he was talking about Atlas Shrugged..........

Paul Ryan was my representative for my entire adult life save two years when I lived in District 2. He was a Republican who was able to stay popular in a District that should never have been friendly (Racine, Kenosha, the Hispanic side of Milwaukee, Janesville) to him. His platform was almost exclusively entitlement reform, which drew him opposition from both sides of the political aisle

@Beemann Is Tencent bad just because its a china company and china censors a lot. Or because of anything else it does?

I love how the H in Boehner’s name changed the pronunciation completely

Without it he would just be Böner

Which makes sense since as the lead RINO he boned the republicans after the 2010 and 2014 landslides

Cunt

I know a boner family.. i prounounced it w the h and the girl is like "no - its boner" lmao

Lmao

the H doesn't change the pronunciation. the O before the E does

Nah the H makes it go from oooh to argh

Aeehh*

Cause normally you’d have it as an extension of the previous sound I thought

Like Müller is pronounced mew-ler not moo-ler because German/French

Wait

Other way around

It’s supposed to be moo-ler not mew-ler

most people here say Muller...but I knew a girl growing up who pronounced it Mew-ler

Huh

Guess it’s different in good ol US of A

it's a german thing. My paternal Grandmother's Maiden name is the same way, it has an o before the e, but there is no H

O:

Oh okay

I got used to the assumption that “oe” usually meant that it was spelt ö at one point and therefore made that sound

So ue would have been ü etc

@Shadows Tencent isnt just a Chinese company in terms of the nationality of its ownership. IIRC, the government owns controlling shares in Tencent. Major Chinese companies are basically nationalized or publicly traded with government control being mandated

NA governments and corporations spy on me enough. I don't need to add international shit to the mix

Or intercontinental rather

Intercontinental sounds hot

When a standard ballistic missile just doesn't do anything for you anymore

Ikr

Need that payload up my ass daddy

Oh, I figured Tencent was bad because of their practices or something.

Well in practice they are an extension of the govt and also they go out of their way to use what might as well be monopolized profit to buy out western devs, and then you watch the games suddenly shift for the Chinese market

And Patreon account permantly disabled, good riddance to bad rubbish

about to do that right now
