Another one GONE - GOP Rep. Ken Buck to leave Congress at end of next week

He had stated he would not run again but seems he is just going to step down early.

Republican Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado, a hardline conservative who has clashed with his own party at times, announced on Tuesday that he will leave Congress at the end of next week. Buck’s decision to step down before the end of his term will trim Republicans’ slim edge to 218 seats over 213 for Democrats, with three vacancies. With that breakdown, Republicans could only afford to lose two votes to pass legislation on a party-line vote.

This guy voted against impeaching Mayorkas. He voted against removing Cheney. Has stated he was not going to back Trumps re-election run. He has flipped flopped a lot.

Why are so many Republicans leaving when the majority is so slim. The DNC has already made sure to get rid of people like Santos while others who did worse still vote. The RINOs could not even stand to finish their terms. It is disgraceful what they are doing. They are elected officials.

“Everywhere I go in Colorado, Dana, I hear that people are not happy with Trump and they’re not happy with (President Joe) Biden,” Buck said. “I am going to find the right organization to join and I’m going to start working on that issue. We have to have better candidates up and down the ballot.”

This though, as stated, makes a very slim majority for anything to vote on in the House especially with the RINOs still there.

Bring back Santos and keep him in place as long as Menendez is there.

Because they see the writing on the wall. Trump is going to win and left of center Republicans / RINOS will find themselves in a weakened position.

Many of those leaving office have made clear why they're doing so. The Party is no longer the one they originally joined. They were elected to get work done but with each passing year it feels more and more like people are coming to Washington to relive their high school years.

Trumpism has poisoned the Party and the more moderate members want out. Last night's purge of RNC staffers surely sent a clear message that things were going to get worse before anything started changing for the better.

That would require him to win an election and that's certainly not going to happen at this point.

I really don't think extremism is going to win.

People are waking up.

What have politicians ever done for you except make more laws, raise taxes, and fight against the Constitution.



Moderate republicans? lol

Anyone siding with the left is now anti-American.

How many elections do you think the GOP will win by distancing themselves from a large chunk of their base? How many Independents do you think they'll pick up by calling Moderates anti-American?

If you're siding with anti-American policies, then you're calling yourselves anti-American.

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race

Keep ticking those boxes , Left and Right are two sides of the same coin calling anyone who doesn't agree with your political view "anti-American" is little different from what the Putin dictatorship does in Russia , you are on a slippery slope.

He’s a loser RINO so good riddance. Colorado was my home state for 20+ years and it’s gone to 💩with all the loser lefty’s that have infiltrated it. I moved from CA to CO to get away from leftist whackos, then go figure there was a migration of Californians moving there and I sadly watched in real time as the democrats turned it into a 💩hole with their policies. People like Buck are a big part of the problem. I wouldn’t live there now even though it’s the most beautiful state in the lower 48 IMO.

Here is the latest poll from 538 -- it's starting to change.

The weak of faith are weeding themselves I see....

People have got to stop calling them RINOS because republicans in government are just as bad.

Its uniparty VS MAGA and if you support any one in the Uniparty you are for the empire not the resistance

I wonder what they do in Russia and not the west.

Arrest journalist? well no we do that too.

Arrest political opponents? Well dang we do that too.

Arrest and jail supporters of political opponents? I think we do that to .

I wonder if they arrest people for using the wrong pronoun? Or heckling at speeches?

I bet they make their firemen report for reeducation for booing politicians. Wait that was us to

Great! Let Trump supporters get elected like the old Tea Party. 😃
