October Surprise In March/April? Is the invisible hand of the Dark Powers working to install a Democrat House Majority before the November election?


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 Instalinks, Steve and Sarah…)

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:

It seemed innocuous. Preening anti-Trumper reading the writing on the wall takes a powder.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Noble Cassius departs the arena* because of the woeful civility of politics.

“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.

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.


Special elections for the vacated seats could, of course, maintain a Republican majority -- or not. (Expelling George Santos is looking like another GOP 'genius' move right now.)

So. [Loooooong heavy pause.] With DJT ineluctably ascendant and Biden electorally unsalvageable, what is the Democrats' Plan B? Is the invisible hand of the Dark Powers working to install a Democrat House Majority before the November election? A Democrat House Majority to dead-stop the Biden impeachment, to pass a law 'clarifying' the 14th Amendment barring DJT from the November ballot -- among other 'democracy' saving measures (e.g., warrantless monitoring of your phone, your bank account, your email, your browser history)? You tell me. 

The problem with the unimaginable is that it cannot be imagined. It can only arrive and stupefy.

Hate evil. Peace out.


Damian Bennett goes on to add:

Also see this, Don Bongino at 39'40''. The trick is to deny all candidates (DJT, RFK, Biden) 270 electoral votes and throw the election into the House, where each state delegation gets ONE vote. The winner must garner 26 votes. Supposing a 50-50 split I surmise that gives the deciding vote to Kamala Harris (as per the legislative process). Long-shot. Hail Mary, the Democrats come to Jesus.

The Dems are running out of options. Can they steal another election? Whatever, something is afoot.

Harris doesn't get a vote in the House ... only the Senate ...

Going this route to deny Trump the Presidency is going to result in open civil war.

Know the democrats in your neighborhood. Know where your Democrat and Rino politicians at the local and state level live.

No justice, no peace for them and their families.

"where each state delegation gets ONE vote." how do you get to 50-50 in that scenario?

Seriously, without the 17th Amendment, there would be pretty close to a GOP supermajority in the Senate...

At the moment the GOP controls 25 House state delegations. There are two tied and six others where a one seat shift would give the Republicans control of the delegation. If the vote goes to the House the GOP is in a very good position.

Republicans are resigning because the behavior of the House Speaker and the Freedom Caucus is absolutely nauseating and disgusting. Thugs like Speaker Johnson, JD Vance, Margerie Taylor Greene, and others, is reprehensible and pro-Russia. If these people were paid agents of the Kremlin (and some of them probably are) they would behave precisely as they are doing. How the Republican caucus became a stooge for the Kremlin is a mystery to me, but here we are. I hate my own Party. Speaker Johnson and his pro-Russian thugs make me ill.

Oh God…just FOAD already. The ONLY reason Democrats hate the Russians is because they’re not communist anymore.

J. D. Vance is awful! He hasn’t even shown up for one single vote in the House since he got elected! What a—

Oh, wait… He’s… wait, he isn’t even in the… huh?

Oops, sorry, uh, never mind…

> reprehensible and pro-Russia

Ukraine is right and Russia is wrong, but when the future of the United Stakes is at stake, every single Ukrainian should pound sand. Ukraine is a Roman satellite and the United States is Rome proper.

Not recognizing it from the other side of the Atlantic is a forgivable offense.
Not recognizing it while on the American soil is unforgivable.
