They think they will be safe from retribution if they go away and be quiet. Sorry folks moose out front should have told you that you're fucked..
No pensions? Just leaving won't make Anons happy. imo
Exactly. They think if they slink away we will forget. Wrong.
Great line :). Thanks for the chuckle
At GITMO:
“First ones here”
If they think they can ignore what they’ve done and retreat into a cushy retirement, while America tries to rebuild from the damage done, I pray justice finds them eventually.
From my home state of Washington:
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee is not running for re-election
Inslee, who was elected to a third term in 2020, said it is time to "pass the torch." May 1, 2023, 11:17 AM PDT
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced Monday that he will not be seeking a fourth term, opening up a governor's race in a deeply Democratic state.
"During a decade of dynamic change, we’ve made Washington a beacon for progress for the nation," the 72-year-old Democrat said in a statement. "I’m ready to pass the torch."

Doesn’t matter Bob Ferguson will be far worse. Washington will need actual military intervention. The election fraud here is fucking insane.
Agree.
I wonder if Eric Swalwell will announce "it is time to pass the gas."
Thank you for including the source link, because near the very bottom it includes the "Historical comparison" which shows we are still below levels in 2012,2018, and 2022.
Ah, didn't read that part. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
My pleasure, I think we get so desperate for absolutely anything that looks like things might be going out way that we ignore that this isn't anything new and around 10% of Congress doesn't seek re-election basically every year.
2018 made it obvious that the GOP was handing the House to the Dems.

I'd like to know what is meant by ► "For the betterment of the country not all will be prosecuted and will do as told." ALL need to be held accountable. Justice needs to be served. Thoughts?
I think pols guilty of money crimes will be spared and exploited in the Plan, as they retreat. Pols that harmed children will not be spared and will face life in prison, capital punishment or suicide.
I can agree with that. There need to be examples made of these evil creatures. I will forgive and pray for them, BUT they need to be held accountable for their crimes.
How many RINOS and how many Demons we talking about?
All of them.
Sounds accurate as whats in the bucket but how many of each Uniparty won't return to office. Are they mostly RINOs or Demons?
It's a start, but 10 times that number would be about right... in other words, most if not all of them. New requirements for Congressional elected office should be 2 terms max, must be American born of American citizens, between the ages of 26 and 54, preferably no lawyers, and be able to pass the test to become a naturalized citizen. If they can't pass that test, they have no business in government.
So how many don’t seek re-election each year? Just so I can see how good of a number this actually is.
Apparently it’s still less than the # of Congress not seeking re election in 2018 & 2022
Sooo… what’s the big deal? I know Q said track resignations. Maybe there weren’t many before Q in 2017?
I hope more will retire
Draining the swamp in action we are watching them swirl the drain outward. The ultimate of MANY many promises President Trump made.
So.. that's how this movie ends. Well... that sucks! I would have hoped public revelations of their treason, Gitmo ship ride followed by mass executions. I guess that reality script is too strong for the taste of the sheeple. They had to make it PG13. Didn't they?!
Laphonza Butler (D-Calif.), you'll recall, was appointed by Gov. Hairdoo to fill the seat vacated by the death of DiFi. 15 months and out. I don't believe she's eligible for a Senate pension. She may have been promised something else.
Submissions. But GITMO Needs To Follow.
Why are they building new detention facilities at Gitmo? I'd like to see a fenced in area with primitave tents so the prisoners can sweat during the day, stay wet when it rains, and have to say on top of spongy wet soil all the time. Sitting in air conditioned cells with three square meals is too good for their treason. Let these traitors feel the pain they caused before they hit the hang mans noose.
It needs to be 400+.
Rinos showing that they have been caught in a trap.
Jeez that is a lot!!! Totally a good sign.
the demons have captured our local big city and now its all leftist and now our long time pub congresscritter has decided not to run....we're looking at a debacle...
Jackie Spier left Congress. Then I saw last week where she is running for a seat on the San Mateo Board of Supervisors. WTF? GO AWAY.
Those are rookie numbers... 10% is all?? Grant Cardone this and 10X it ..lol
Does anyone happen to know how this compares to other election years? And I hate the use of the word "retirement." It's supposed to be a temp job. Work in your profession, go into office for a term or two, leave, go back to your profession. "Career politicians" is an inherently corrupt concept.
That's a good start.
