 Buck to retire next week, narrowing House GOP majority
by Mychael Schnell - 03/12/24 2:09 PM ET


Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) will retire from Congress next week, he announced on Tuesday, a move that will narrow the House GOP’s razor-thin majority even further.

Buck — who has become known for breaking from his party on a number of issues, especially the topic of election denialism — announced last year that he would depart the House at the end of his current term, but expedited that timeline on Tuesday.

“It has been an honor to serve the people of Colorado’s 4th District in Congress for the past 9 years. I want to thank them for their support and encouragement throughout the years. Today, I am announcing that I will depart Congress at the end of next week. I look forward to staying involved in our political process, as well as spending more time in Colorado with my family,” he wrote in a statement.

A) CO Rep Ken Buck resigning at the end of next week

Buck had already announced he wan’t running for another term.

His resignation will squeeze the GOP majority more.

It will be 431 members with 218 Republicans and 213 Democrsts.

B) It’s about the math. The GOP will only be able to lose two votes of their own on any given issue. That’s the margin now because tie votes fail.

You have a certain bloc of Republicans who have been open about their desire to remove from the party anyone who isn't aligned with them, and also thought it would be a good idea to throw the House into chaos.

These resignations may be an unintended consequence of their actions (though I have my doubts) but they were entirely predictable.

If Dems get House, keep Senate and White House, they'll abuse the Budget Reconciliation Process and Executive Orders to bypass Congressional debate.  They will impose their will on to the American people, like they did 2009-2011 and 2021-2023.

Never though that Ken Buck would end up being such a quitter, especially after he was the original "Drain the Swamp" guy.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Maybe he just decided that the House GOP is so fractured it wasn't going to accomplish anything anyway.

No Loss!!!

He was often voting with the Democommies any ways.

What this will do is force the disjointed Republicans to fall in line if they ever hope to pass ANYTHING. 

But with the weak Republicans repeatedly demonstrating they cannot accomplish much, I am not hopeful they will keep the House, and despite the apparent polling showing they have a shot at the Senate and the presidency, I do not hold my breath for either to take place.  If you believe as I do that our national elections are fixed, it is not likely the Democommies will give up power without a fight, including an illegal fixing of whatever number of elections necessary to retain power.

When George Soros owns the company that tabulates the vote, it is not difficult for me to imagine a few ones and zeroes being altered to FIX AN ELECTION.  Not hard at all.

No, these resignations are the last gasp of a dying Establishment Loyalist wing in the Pub party. If the person resigning cared about the principals the Pub party claims to have that person would stay until the next election. Instead that person leaves early because it is more important to him to hurt the Pub party than to fight for the principals the Pub party claims to believe in.

The only principle the GOP has is to shine Donald Trump's shoes as he picks their pockets.

They are worshipping a false idol who will be their ruin.

Treason?

Does he even know what treason is—and if so, what in this situation would even remotely qualify this as treason??? There is no foreign power involved.

Perhaps he was threatened/blackmailed. That's usually a sure way to get a quick resignation out of someone. Or at least get them to fall in line.
