The Funniest Tweets About Paul Ryan’s Retirement

Paul Ryan, the GOP’s number one budget boy, is ending his Randian-fueled tenure at the Capitol, leaving a contradictory legacy and a ballooning deficit in his wake. His exit will end a 20-year run in the House, during which he fought nobly for rich people tax cuts and safety net destruction. While he still has some time left before he turns in his gavel, many took to Twitter to offer the House Speaker a wave of much-deserved well wishes months ahead of his exit. Enjoy!
Retirement should provide Paul Ryan with enough time, finally, to come up with the awesome Obamacare replacement he’s been promising since 2010.

Hey @SpeakerRyan, congratulations on retiring at 48. Thanks to the GOP tax bill, the rest of us can retire at checks notes 100 years after we die? pic.twitter.com/7ztJcMshDx

If Paul Ryan did grow a spine, he’d only use it to trip the poor.

Paul Ryan departs on a bathysphere halfway through his plan to build a conservative utopia underwater, leaves us no guidance for what to do about the splicers. That’s not leadership.
