There’s been rumors of 30-40 of these douches retiring/resigning in the month of January, so maybe this is just a continuation of the draining of the swamp. Memo to Trump...term limits rock!!!
Every time we get a spate of politicians not seeking re-election, I always wonder if they see an “inevitable” the near future and don’t want to be in office when it happens.
I think that Obama and Hillary did some really awful, really criminal things in Libya.
They played some of the Republicans.
I think the Republicans are getting out of the way so there’s no,
“Well, the Republicans should be in trouble, too!”
When it hits the fan.
Where is that list of members of Congress involved in settlements? The count was 260, wasn't it? And what about others that used office funds, maybe even campaign funds to make settlements? Will that ever see sunshine?
Lots of rats bailing out.
I am not familiar with Rep. Royce but have seen his name in the news on occasion. Unfortunately, nothing in CA politics interests me any more.
There’s always a turnaround, but what is the average, and why are we only reading about Republican’s retiring, or quitting when certainly there are as have always been Democrats retiring, or quitting as well?
IF we are to keep this union intact, and functional under the guidance of the laws created by the founders the Democrats cannot win back the leadership of this nation. It is the job of the Republican party amongst other things to ensure no Democrat rule over this nation ever again. Their interests are not American. Their interests are Democrat Party, their power, their rule.
I would like an election.
Hold the nuts.
Soon there will be no Rep Congressmen from CA. Demography is destiny.
It would be interesting to see a list of possible liberal pickups in the House plus those the GOP thinks it might gain. One seat in NH is always a possible GOP gain for instance.
How the hell does one “weaponize information” in the Information Age?
That’s a bizarre characterization, and one I hop is not the mind-set of our “rulers”.
Alas, I’m convinced that it is.
Some information is so dangerous, so volatile, that it’s mere exposure to “the masses” is a WMD.
fraidy cats.
Seems to me, a lot of the hanger’s on and Deep State pubbies are shagging for the hills! See ya!
They’ll all vote for amnesty as a parting gift.
Something is up, too many stinkers with dirty hands are leaving the swamp before they are found out? Its like the word is out, there is going to be a purge? Riiiiiight!

Most of the ones I've seen listed are actually RINOs, so no loss.
North Orange County, CA and Los Angeles and he’s a 96% ACU conservative? Amazing. Possibly, because he is wired in to international business interests, many subsets to the population with overseas business interests he has looked out for on the Foreign Affairs Committee. On social issues—he’d be slaughtered. Pretty deft politician.
There’s this note from LA Times: “Thirty minutes following his announcement, President Trump formally nominated Royce’s Wife, Marie Royce to be Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs.” Royce is moving into a different realm- willing to bet in lobbying.
He was a corporate guy for Portland Cement.
