Lame Duck Paul Ryan is so worthless, he can’t even humiliate Democrats right. Three House Democrats sponsored a bill to “abolish ICE.” After backlash from their constituents, they suddenly said they would vote against the bill they co-sponsored. This was the perfect opportunity to get communist Democrats on the record supporting abolishing ICE. Yet, little lame duck Paully Munster Ryan decided to pull the bill because Democrats begged him to do so.

Speaker Paul Ryan quashed a rank-and-file effort to force Democrats to take a politically toxic vote to abolish the federal government’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, sources familiar with the matter told POLITICO.
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) last week floated the idea of forcing Democrats to vote on a bill that would eliminate ICE, a proposal backed by the far-left but is unpopular with most voters. Republicans, the thinking went, would win either way: Democrats would either back the bill and watch Republicans use it against them in the midterms. Or a portion of Democrats would oppose it, depressing the liberal base.
