It's also distracting from THE PIVOT.

This should have been the cherry on top for Trump. Ryan could have put the issue to bed by letting it fail, called a press conference, and called out the Democrats for being overly emotional and trying to pass unconstitutional bills because their emotions are running high, and the Republicans would have looked like the stable, reliable guys today. He would have gone home a winner, instead of having to deal with all this poo poo that was easily avoidable.

Very important to remember: Paul Ryan doesn't give a gently caress about this or winning the news cycle.

What Paul Ryan gives a gently caress about is passing the Ryan Budget as Speaker. The House has not passed a budget this year. He's fighting the HFC on whether to fund it at $1.04T or $1T.

The "Screw The Poor" and the "gently caress The Poor" budgets respectively?

Yep. So much so that he issued "I won't be Speaker unless you agree to this" list of demands and the HFC said "lol no" and then he agreed to be Speaker.

he should have let it go for a couple hours, release a press release about how the dems are acting like children throwing a tantrum for wanting to vote on a bill that already lost in the senate, and then held a vote, and when it failed again then gone on TV and talked about how unserious the Dems are compared to the thinking man's Republican party.

instead, he got the dumbest member of his party screaming RADICAL ISLAM at a bunch of pictures.

Congress needs C-SPAN, so I doubt they'll crack down. If Ryan really wanted to put a stop to this, he'd prohibit members from using their phones on the floor, which is against the rules.

He could also just cut the House WiFi and make them pay the data rates to stream this.

But that runs the risk of only further in flaming this.

Also he's apparently saying now they're going to have another vote in the next hour.

To be fair to the idiot GOP they have gotten pretty used to Democrats rolling over, giving in, and playing by the book like a bunch of losers for a long time. It would be nice if we saw more of this Democratic Party, sans terrible legislation, naturally.
