Taken in isolation, those are pretty solid jabs. But in context, yeah, this is still, "Trump's a shitbag, but I won't do anything about it."

Hopefully Trump will be completely unable to let any of this go and end up putting even more grist in the gears of the GOP agenda.

If Trump hears about this this he'll blow his top. I fully expect his next tweet to be "MEET ME SOMEWHERE."

 

[norm9]

These jokes were obviously passed through the WH for approval. Obviously.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Can't wait for Trump to respond to this

 

[More_Badass]

Alright the Twitter one was pretty good. Some self-awareness by this shit-heel is surprising.

That Twitter one made me think how in 2-3 years time, there’s going to be a section in history textbooks about “President Trump’s unorthodox use of social media and Twitter”, much like how textbooks mention Roosevelt and his use of the radio through fireside chats. Between him being the first POTUS to use social media so brazenly and bans being struck down in part due to Tweets, Twitter is going to be in the history books.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Oh man he really let him have it! Hilarious! Hopefully putting together these zingers didn’t eat too much of his fucking-over-the-filthy-browns-and-poors time! The country won’t disintegrate by itself!

 

[Akuun]

Some of these are pretty funny, but then you realize that he's also the guy letting it happen. So it's kind of like watching someone stream themselves driving a bus while drunk, while posting "lol I'm so drunk but behind the wheel right now lol I'm so crazy #norules" online.

 

[psyfi]

oh they weren't literally roasted alive?

Fuck Ryan, but these are funny jokes.

Can you imagine future generations reading Trump Tweets in history books? Sad!

 

[5taquitos]

Can you imagine future generations reading Trump Tweets in history books?

"History books? Oh you mean those things our grandparents used to read. I just follow @USHistory for my daily lesson!"

 

[TopDreg]

Wow. So, uh, the GOP now has the signal to really blast Trump. I mean, fuck the GOP and all that. But this still feels like a large step forward.

 

[davepoobond]

Now that Paul ryan has shown his sense of humor he can continue to be a joke speaker of the house

 

[jmood88]

It's despicable that he jokes about this shit as he's allowing Trump to do whatever the fuck he wants.

 

[WiiredShawn]

Now we can take comfort in the fact that Republican leaders don't lack self-awareness, like many of their constituents; they just lack integrity.

It's easy to criticize. It's harder to act. Paul Ryan makes that evident.

 

[Plinko]

From a humor perspective, some of those are fantastic.

From a "You know this and are doing nothing about it" perspective, it's depressing.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

On Twitter
"Every morning, I wake up in my office and I scroll through Twitter to see which tweets I'll have to pretend I didn't see later on."

"Joking" that he's part of the problem, so funny.

 

[Strike]

I'd tell him to not quit his day job, but it's not like he's particularly great at that either and he'd probably be replaced with someone worse.

 

[Surfinn]

"Joking" that he's part of the problem, so funny.

Kinda reminds me of the Spicy situation

 

[BajiBoxer]

Needs to quit his job and take up a career in comedy. Please.

 

[HomespunFur]

I mean, he could try doing something about it instead of making jokes.
Of course he won't because his best chance of getting re-elected is to kiss up to Trump.

 

[Staccat0]

Pretty solid roast jokes I guess. Much better than the ones Trump subjected people to.

I’ll always give people a pass for self-depreciation. Doesn’t make me like him, but I’m not clutching my pearls. You can make a winking self-deprecating joke while not actually believing it’s premise is based in reality.

 

[Lo-Volt]

The only problem with all that is, will Donald Trump think he’s “just kidding”?

 

[ReAxion]

surprised the rejected SNL writer who wrote these didn't flat out say "orange buffoon" or "cheeto in chief"

hack shit. paul ryan retire bitch.

Seriously, liberals, stop applauding terrible, regressive people making hacky “roast” jokes just because the target is Trump.

Fuck off Paul Ryan.

 

[Brandon F]

Whomever wrote these jokes for Paul should be the next Speaker of the House!

 

[SuperBanana]

The only problem with all that is, will Donald Trump think he's ”just kidding"?

He doesn't care. He's still salty about jokes from 20 years ago. I guarantee he'll hate Ryan even more now. lmao these are great though.

 

[Game-Biz]

Trump's base hates Ryan more than the average liberal. I mean The_Donald has been wanting him crucified for months. When they hear of this, they're going to fucking explode.

 

[Maintenance]

If he wasn't such a slimy piece of shit actively trying to kill millions of people it would be funnier.

 

[TetraGenesis]

He had really good writers for this. But man, what a weird world to see Paul Ryan of all fucking people roasting Trump (hard).

Nothing makes sense anymore, hahaha.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Other than saying Schumer only hates Trump because he took his top donors.

This was a reference to Trump being a life-long donor to Democratic candidates (That is, until a black man became President and Trump's racism led him to flip parties.)

 

[hydruxo]

Making jokes about Putin always listening while doing nothing about it. Nice.

Paul Ryan is a joke in and of himself tbh.

 

[kadotsu]

Let's make the jokes even funnier with the next election in Wisconsin's 1st.

 

[crisdecuba]

Paul Ryan is too much of a spineless disappointment for me to find this funny. :-/

 

[HStallion]

I didn't realize jellyfish had senses of humor.

He has better taste in comedy writers than he does policy

 

[PeskyToaster]

"Every morning, I wake up in my office and I scroll through Twitter to see which tweets I'll have to pretend I didn't see later on."

A little too real if I'm being honest.

 

[Steel]

Paul Ryan is too much of a spineless disappointment for me to find this funny. :-/

His spinelessness juxtaposed against these comments are actually pretty hilarious. In a sorta "humanity is doomed" kinda way.

 

[Loxley]

"Isn't it funny that this man who still has my full loyalty and support is totally unhinged and unfit to lead the country?"

**badum tish**

Basically.

 

[Surfinn]

"Isn't it funny that this man who still has my full loyalty and support is totally unhinged and unfit to lead the country?"

**badum tish**

Yeah this shit ain't funny

 

[Hubbl3]

Trump about to resign as President to become Speaker of the House

 

[Raven117]

Well, the dude has a sense of humor.

 

[Kensation]

Trump about to make Ryan's life even more of a living hell.

 

[ebullientprism]

"Every morning, I wake up in my office and I scroll through Twitter to see which tweets I'll have to pretend I didn't see later on."

Yeah, he is a piece of shit but that is legit fucking funny.
