WHO CARES? The guy did absolutely everything he could to block reasonable gun control to protect other people's kids, and take away healthcare from other people's kids, & redistribute money to the rich at the expense of the poor & middle class? Even monsters love their own kids.

He is also in danger of losing an election, and the House will almost certainly turn blue in November costing him his position as speaker. This spending time with family is THE hackneyed lie that politicians use when they know their time is up. But, you know, great reporting.

you are, by far, the meanest golden retriever I've ever met. On Twitter or elsewhere.
-
Not mean - please tell me a single thing I said that is wrong. I sincerely believe it's far meaner to do pr work for people who use their power in self-serving or exploitive ways than to call out that pr work for what it is. AND I didn't even mention enabling Trump.
-
Did you read the story or nah.

Yes, here is my summary/analysis: "Paul Ryan, who was only serving b/c we forced him to, will leave congress to spend time w/ his kids b/c he lost his own father as a teen." The only challenge to this public relations nonsense is the idea that his district now Leans GOP.
-
Have seen so much, "Paul Ryan is a good man and better than the current brand of Trumpy Republican," when in reality he is a polite man (there's a big difference) who enabled and protected Trump every step of the way and advanced policies that demonstrate zero empathy. Not good.
-
Last thing: His policies are usually in his own financial interest, or the interest of his campaign. And, the credit he gets as a policy wonk is completely undeserved. Again, polite and handsome do not = good and doing free pr for such people helps nothing.

it always strikes me as interesting to see a man who supports legislation that is hurtful to so many poor kids bemoan his own.

Yet time and time again, the allure of power overcame the urge to be closer to the family....Until now.

We don't doubt that he may love his own kids. What we don't like is he hates the rest of America's kids...Especially the most vulnerable and the most needy. FWIW.

Quite honestly I am guessing that the majority of the American public doesn't care what or who Paul Ryan misses. He's tucking tail, as expected, after helping to create & preserve one of the biggest dumpster fires the US has ever seen.

I hope his kids grow up to be billionaires so they don't suffer the tax/national debt/health care problems the rest of us will as a result of Ryan's political deeds.

I never did either —like being away from from family- but we figured out and I did my job- Family as an excuse- not good he took the job and is failing in his responsibilities-
