Paul Ryan the New Sphincter of the House, Cuts Loose and is Full of it.

No surprises,there. Nothing big will happen until after the election.

But when will Congress/President stop using the excuse of gridlock and "we'll wait for the next election" to fail to buckle down, work together, and get something done.

Not trusting the President is no reason to not work. He's the President, and there's nothing you can do about that.

If you won't work with him because you don't trust him, you might as well go home.
Getting along is overrated, wait till someone new is in there because the current occupant cannot be trusted.
At some point you have to stop waiting and get something done now.
 
"Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press, the new Speaker of the House promised Chuck Todd that he would not introduce or advance “comprehensive immigration reform” while Barack Obama remained president. Obama, Ryan said, had been “proven untrustworthy on this issue” by trying “to go around Congress with an Executive Order to rewrite laws unilaterally.” As such, he could not be relied upon. “Presidents,” Ryan noted, “don’t write laws. Congress writes laws.”
Red meat for the Freedom Caucus. These hypothetical laws would have to get out of committee first, let alone, through the Senate and on to the President's desk. The only bills to do so in the last couple of Congresses deal with visas for Iraqis and Afghans, adoptive families, spies at the U.N, and honorary citizenship for the Count of Galvez. I think it's blaming the President for the inability of Congress to do their job. I can understand why he said it given the situation he was pushed into.
 
So newly minted speaker of the house Paul Ryan goes on Meet the Press this morning and says he will not introduce legislation or work with President Obama on Immigration reform because the president cannot be trusted.

Well here's a newsflash dumfuk, try enforcing the current laws on the books, and mandating employers that use illegals need to go to jail and pay heavy fines. Now is that so hard?

Congress writes laws.” Ryan left open the option of a bill tailored specifically toward border security — “if we believe and have consensus on things like border enforcement and interior security,” he suggested, “then that’s fine” — but made it clear repeatedly that anything more substantial would have to wait. When pressed, Ryan acknowledged that he personally has liberal instincts in this area. Nevertheless, he left no wriggle room in his remarks. ”We won’t bring immigration legislation with a president we cannot trust on this issue,” he confirmed."

Always thought enforcing the law fell under the purview of the Executive Branch.

You know, the people in charge of the CIA, FBI, HS, DOJ, etc

So where is the funding that allows the executive to do that?

FBI, CIA, DOJ, HS are underfunded?

Or are they spending the money on unnecessary investigations, etc?
No, that would be House republicans spending money on unnecessary investigations.
