GOP Rep. Ken Buck will retire from Congress next week leaving Republicans with a razor-thin majority.

Following the resignation of Kevin McCarthy, Bill Johnson, Ken Buck and the ousting of George Santos, the Republicans will be left with a razor-thin majority of 218-213.

..... Snip.....

House Speaker Mike Johnson was shocked by Ken Buck’s surprise announcement.

“I was surprised by Ken’s announcement. I’m looking forward to talking with him about that,” Speaker Johnson told reporters on Tuesday.

Hey, we have Republicans to spare, right Speaker Johnson?

Johnson is no different from McCarthy.

Yes and I think that is exactly why he did what he did. Absolutely brilliant move if you are a Buck fan and dislike MAGA.

These are short term problems, but the long term issue of Ken Buck is solved. At least this malcontent is gone and will cause no further problems.

Either way, I think Boebert is gone.

I assume that is just your sense of humor.

Yes but shooting the movement in the foot while doing that is asinine.

Another RINO running away because under a President Trump he might actually have to do his job.

It’s 2018 all over again.

On one hand, good riddance. On the other they hope the Dems take the House to stop him. An impeachment a day.

Just watch, with a ONE SEAT HOUSE majority the Dems will hold together and shove their agenda on us with the help of some squishy RINOs.

We get a 5 seat majority and the Repubs are feckless.

I hope Trump brings in a wave of solid representatives.

I think Vermont Lt. was being sarcastic.

I wonder if state governors can impose an executive order to impose term limits for our members in congress. That would be a sure fire way to get legislation on term limits started. The fat cats already there, having made millions somehow serving their country would never vote on it.
This would mean a states solution would be warranted versus what would end up being a convention of states which could threaten 2A.

What is the mystery here? It's obvious that Obama had found 'dirt' on him...thus his voting with the Democrats.

The entire Biden clan has been been the target of blackmail from the start with the threat hanging over their heads.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO OBAMA & Company. It's been his M.O. since running for Community Organizer in Chicago.

>> We really need to pray for these elections. There seems to be a lot of upheaval.

What was it that you said a few weeks ago in a reply to me? Paraphrasing: what we’re seeing here in the natural is an image of the battles taking place in the spiritual domain. Your reply was astute and I find it useful.

And absolutely we need to be in prayer for the elections!

No it’s not funny at all. These people run for office and people vote for them to do a job. If the guy has cancer and he’s dying, it’s an acceptable thing for him to leave early. That’s not the case. He is breaking the agreement and leaving his constituents without representation. He needs to be slapped with a lawsuit PERSONALLY the day he leaves his position as representative. I would say a million dollars per constituent is reasonable.

“He needs to be slapped with a lawsuit PERSONALLY the day he leaves his position as representative.”

GREAT idea! He has failed his constituents and there should be a class action suit.

Compromising media. Photos, video, texts, phone calls. And a golden parachute.

Yeah the guy is battling cancer which is rough. Pray he is able to beat it but the timing of this resignation makes me think it has worsened.
