WELL, OF COURSE IT IS: October Surprise In March/April? Is the invisible hand of the Dark Powers working to install a Democrat House Majority before the November election?

Sharing is Caring!

Fox News reports that Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., chairman of the House select committee on China, is announcing he’s leaving Congress on April 19, which, Elizabeth Elkind points out, will temporarily leave House Republicans with just a one-seat majority.

Causing Chad Pergram to ask: Could the Republicans’ slim House majority slip away before November?

Have RINOs and/or NeverTrumpers decided that, instead of “boldly” voting with the Democrats, they would be more circumspect and just resign? And did they make such decisions interdependently or were they, like Stephen Breyer (and — to be fair — Anthony Kennedy), pressured/blackmailed/bribed into resigning behind closed doors ? (Thanks for the Instalink, Steve…)

This would seem to confirm the suspicious mind of one No Pasarán die-hard, one Damian Bennett, who has given a lot of thought into the matter, gathering the evidence in the process, leading him to pen this in the middle of the month:

Republican To Suddenly Leave Congress March 12, 2024

Ken Buck Torches GOP After Declaring He’s Leaving Congress In Days March 12, 2024
Representative Ken Buck, one of the few Republicans willing to call out his party’s ridiculous efforts to impeach Joe Biden, announced Tuesday that he will leave Congress in less than two weeks. … Buck had announced in November that he would not seek reelection, but he indicated at the time that he would complete his current term.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Noble Cassius departs the arena* because of the woeful civility of politics.

* For the lowest circle of Hell.

“I think this place [Congress] is dysfunctional. Instead of having decorum, instead of operating in a professional manner, this place has just devolved into this bickering and nonsense and not really doing the job for the American people.”

Here’s a certainty, whatever the discomfort of his twisted civic panties, Buck’s resigning removes him from “doing the job for the American people”, at least the American people of Colorado’s 4th district who elected him.

Wait.

Report: 5 More Rinos Could Leave Congress To Give Dems Majority Before 2024 Election March 15, 2024

After Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., made a surprise announcement Tuesday that he will be leaving Congress by the end of next week, the RINO representative said more resignations could be coming down the pipeline. When asked by Axios about receiving criticism from colleagues over his decision to resign, Buck reportedly replied: “I think it’s the next three people that leave that they’re going to be worried about.”

Bucks’ imminent departure leaves the GOP with a two-seat majority in the House. Three more Republicans leaving would, of course, put the Democrats in charge.
