House Speaker Mike Johnson had no idea Representative Ken Buck is quitting, as the GOP is in complete shambles.
Representative Ken Buck took to social media to announce his near-immediate leave from Congress, resigning so fast that even his party leaders were caught off guard by the decision.
“Today, I am announcing that I will depart Congress at the end of next week,” Buck said in a statement on Tuesday. “I look forward to staying involved in our political process, as well as spending more time in Colorado with my family.”
The less-than-two-weeks notice took practically everybody by surprise, including (or maybe especially) House Speaker Mike Johnson.
“I was surprised by Ken’s announcement,” Johnson told a crush of reporters inside the Capitol building. “I look forward to talking to him about that.”
“I didn’t know,” he added.
less useful, though. Lint can be used as a firestarter.
Well, they are doing a pretty good job burning down their own house.
“Only you can prevent wildfires. Vote Democrat”
Considering climate-change-induced drought, that’s not even metaphorical.
Are you insinuating that Ken Buck is inflammable?
Being inflammable would give him at least one use.
Inflammable means flammable? What a country!
not necessarily. it specifically means easily set on fire.
This guy is useless, which means he sucks as a fuel source (to difficult to set on fire, too little energy returns), but is flammable enough that he can’t be used as a fire resistant material, either.
Or you can make it into paper.
