Paul Ryan just found out about GIFs which means we can never use GIFs again

Oh good, happy news! Paul Ryan just found out about GIFs, and he loves them! He calls them "GIFs or GIFFIEs" and thinks they're pretty darn "awesome."

In an interview with Mike Allen of Axios, Ryan, who comes on at 22 minutes and gets GIFFY at 1:03, shared that he just recently learned about GIFs — or, at least, the keyboard integration of GIFs — and he's taken a liking to using them on unsuspecting recipients: "I send GIFs to people who really don’t expect it from me." Power move, Paul.

Realistically, of course, literally anyone is a candidate for not expecting a GIFFY from Paul Ryan. Is it ever standard for one's relationship with the Speaker of the House to involve GIFs of Stifler giving a thumbs up? Don't answer that.
