The # GOPDnDhashtag game sprung up on Twitter over the retiring brace of weeks . Some multitude assign the campaign origins toPatton Oswalt ’s 2015 tweetabout turning 2016 ’s presidential campaigner into D&D quality , but thehashtag itselfis linked to James D’Amato from One Shot Podcast . recently , it ’s been used in response to Republican seek to squeeze Trumpcare through the House of Representatives in less than a month . As House Speaker Paul Ryan ’s bill come up in infamy , making enemy across the aisle and struggling to skirt a tragical CBO scotch , a shitty Dungeons & Dragons game served as the perfect metaphor for the debacle .

However , it was n’t until Ryan sadly addressed his constituents on Friday good afternoon , substantiate they were dropping the bill they ’d reportedly spend at least seven years working on , that things were really taken up a nick . The game became epic , a legendary tale of terrible people playing a game that they did n’t know how to get ahead . No wonder Ryansaid it ’s easierto be the opposition party than to govern . They ’ve forgotten how to work nice with others .

TheGrand Ol’ Magic Partyis still going on Twitter , so it ’s decidedly worth link in on the fun for a bit — especially sinceSUE the T - Rexalready ended her D&D game a little while ago . If anything else , this whole affair goes to show you could always find a promising side to the ugliness of government . Republicans might ’ve give out ( this time ) to take wellness insurance aside from up to 24 - million hoi polloi … but hey , at least they can still cast Benghazi . That trance still work , right-hand ?
GOP : I cast Benghazi . DM : * sigh * She make the rescue stroke . Again . GOP : I cast Benghazi.#GOPDnD
