Would have been better if they had turned republican to keep their high-paying jobs and the opportunity for insider trading and become as rich as Nancy Pee.

No reason to stay. They’ve probably made millions of dollars on insider trading. If Republicans take the House then they’ll be on the bottom rungs of the ladder. As Steve Miller says ‘take the money and run’.

Two More House Democrats Announce They Won’t Seek Reelection This Year

Now make that three House Democrats ...

MSNBCNNABCBS reports Biden in speech today stated: I-I-I-I-I-I, um, I'm, announcing I won't seek reelection this year, 1921, to the House. Um, let me correct that, I won't seek reelection this year, 1922, to the House. They're telling me in my earpiece that I wasn't supposed to say that out loud, hehehe. [Cricket sounds] Not a joke, not a joke, folks. [Weirdly leans forward over the podium and whispers] Now I'd like to, um, walk away as soon as finish reading this teleprompter speech. [Switches back to normal voice] But I'll do something different instead. I'm going to walk toward you, reporters, shake your hands, get to know you folks. Uh sorry, now my earpiece is telling me that's not what I'm supposed to do. I probably shouldn't have said that out loud either, hehehe. [More cricket sounds] So as my husband Jill says, let me change that, as Whoopi Goldberg says, my husband Jill is a fantastic doctor, an amazing doctor, and that President Harris should make her the Surgeon General. I'm married to him and I almost didn't realize he's the Surgeon General, hehehe. [Cricket sounds again] Ok, that's all. [Whispers again] Wear the mask. Do it. [Normal volume again] Now they're telling me it's time to wrap up and walk out. [Shuffles toward the reporters and extends his hand to greet them. Security quickly whisks him away. Biden asks security ...] Why are you escorting me out? I'm about to read a speech from that teleprompter. Where's Doctor Jill? Where's President Harris? ......

“They’ll just be replaced by another Leftist.”

- And no doubt they will be replaced with someone left of left. This is the crazy trend in the Democrat party...

Maybe, but don’t interpret this news to mean they’ll be looking for actual honest employment.

Not necessarily. Especially in a wave year for Republicans like 2022.

Which is good, IMHO. The crazier more AOC, Omar, etc they are, the more they turn folks off.

Folks either won’t vote or they’ll hold their nose and vote for the Republican.

They’re all Dems from Blue States. Unless there are any that could be considered ‘Purple’. It’s Democrat all the way.

The Left is unhinged. The wealthy ones are unaffected by most of this stuff. The young ones can’t see past their craft beer.

Agreed. Richard Pombo held Mnnerny’s seat for 14 years until mc unseated him. To be sure that district’s not gotten any more conservative since 2007 but it’s not impossible in a wave year

Dems from blue states lose. And they lose quite often. They just got clobbered in Virginia.

It would be more encouraging if it weren’t for the fact that when a democrat leaves, they are usually replaced with someone far worse, far more left and *progressive* (aka communist).

Which is why Trump supporters should find Donald Dem DINOSAUR to run in ‘Rat primaries.

Did they lose in Alexandria, Fairfax, and Loudon. The rest of state showed up for Youngkin. I get it.

But a Republican is not going to win Jackie Spier’s seat.

Jackie Spier is not the only Dem retiring. There are lots of them. With even more retiring every month.

Everyone wants to talk about all the Dems retiring, not running. Pundits talking about the blowout coming in 2022. Blah blah blah

What states have completely banned, Mail In Voting and Drop Boxes?

The original draft of the most recent voter law in Georgia did that. State government leadership had that language removed prior to bringing the bill to a vote. A vote they win every day.

The same state leadership fought an audit and eventually won. Now some of those people want investigations and to ban mail in voting and harvesting.

My point of all of that…….let’s not get too cocky and think next year is going to be a cakewalk.

We'll take back the house. The only question is, will they do anything for the MAGA movement or any other conservative initiatives.

Forgot to add one thing……

What variant of COVID will we be on?

Will it be the variant that is so deadly that merely walking to your mailbox will result in instant death? And because of that, every vote will end mailed in or harvested

Nothing like counting your chickens before they croak:

“Nobody wants to run as a House Democrat because their majority is doomed.” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Mike Berg said in a statement reacting to Langevin’s announcement.
