Finally, a House Rep who makes perfect sense.
Friday, House Rep Ken Buck is among 26 in the lower chamber to announce plans to step aside, either immediately or at the end of the term—a response, in no small part, to the profound unseriousness of the House that Santos represents “It’s stupid, you know,” as Republican Ken Buck, who announced his upcoming retirement this month, told Punchbowl News. “Impeach that person, censure that person—it’s all political, so members can go raise money and talk tough back home.”
You can bet that MTG and others of her ilk are not among the 26 who've announced their departure, but these nut job MAGA folks are part of the reason they want out. I do not blame them. Thank you Donald Trump, you and your MAGA clan have managed to almost completely destroy the Republican party.
This iteration of the House GOP—a motley collection of extremists, grifters, and vessels of naked ambition—Government dysfunction has taken Government dysfunction to new heights... or rather lows.
