Following Ken Buck (U-CO), Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher (U-WI) announces he is leaving congress.
This exit drops the GOP majority in the House to one seat, following a path that seemingly continues to put the Democrats in control prior to the 2024 election. This should be the GOPe insurance policy against President Trump’s successful election outcome. There are trillions at stake.
Gallagher’s exit date is as subtle as a brick through a window:

December 2023 – (Via Politico) – […] during a flight from Canada to D.C. on Tuesday morning: former Speaker PAUL RYAN attempting to persuade Rep. MIKE GALLAGHER (R-Wis.) via text message to endorse Haley’s presidential bid. (more)
This is what we are up against.
Everyone has a leverage point.
Be open with your secrets, or you position yourself to be compromised.
I digress….
What is our new RNC going to do about these RINO traitors?
the RNC ought to sue congressmen who leave early to recoup all of the funds they gave them.
wouldn’t work. plan b?
don…
A pound of flesh?
As an Irishman may apologise to all patriotic American for the Irish American traitors who are besmirching their heritage.

IMO About 95% of the republicans in the house and senate are RINO democRATS.
There’s not one democrat that is a closet republican.
These 3 saved Mayorkas from impeachment.
I call them all Uniparty swamp rats! My opinion is until people come to that same conclusion “the uniparty is against us ” we cant get this turned around! I keep hearing over and over how we need to get the Republicans in there…WTF are they gonna do?! When they’ve had the chance they just end up looking like a monkey f#@$ing a football! Then it gets punted back to the dems and the cycle starts over again!
Yes, in practical terms, voting Republican serves nearly no purpose whatsoever. Vote against ANY incumbent.
When he was an assemblyman in the CA legislature for years, McClintock (on the far left) was ALWAYS A CONSERVATIVE.
DC is hardball. DC has the power to destroy you.
We seem not to do it to the other side because we don’t have the intel comm on our side.
“We” also appear to lack the big swaggering evil cojones seen in the D Party.
“We seem not to do it to the other side …”
This use of the word “we” reminds me of the Lone Ranger joke.
Ken Buck is a canary in the Cole mine. He only acts on the instructions of the Uniparty. Club for Growth/Chamber.
Why shift control of the house before the election? What legislation can the Dems pass before the election that the Republican wing of the Uniparty couldn’t consider?
Giving illegal border jumpers the right to vote..
Mailing ballots out in Soros controlled SOS states, while the inevitable appeal to the SCOTUS takes place.
These people are traitors..
Join them, I suspect..,
No, but USE their tactics; WE, MAGA need to run stealth candidates.
In Dem districts or States (painted Blue!) run as a Dem, in districts or States painted Red (Kentucky Ga.) run AS a RINO and only let MAGA flag fly, once in office.
Yes, I’ve thought this too.
Probably a strongly worded email….aka, nothing.
No votes on bills should be held after he leaves. Doesn’t Johnson have to let anything on to the floor for a vote?
Don’t hold you breath for Johnson to do the right thing!
Wasn’t Gallagher the sponsor of the tic toc ban bill?
The notice to vacate will never be voted on. Even Greene admits that her action was just a stunt
He’s real proud of himself.
I never thought I’d hate the GOP more than I hate the DEM…but here I am…😣
Yep – I’m with you.
The GOP fell on their swords to get rid of Santos and turn the seat over to a Democrat, and now they are positioned to lose the House due to RINO/Never-Trump traitors. They are the “stupid” party. It’s why I love my user name on this website more and more every day!
They are not stupid. Their thoughts are not our thoughts, they just tell us they are at election time. The problem is us! We refuse to remove them and so we get more of the same and wonder why.
Around my part of the world, the RNC (in conjunction with state level RINOs) will NOT fund a MAGA candidate. TV ads, fundraisers, signage, billboards, and mass mailings win every damn time. And the majority of R’s think they are voting for the strongest candidate—only because they have the most exposure and lots of RINO endorsements.
^^^ This.
I starting hating in 1989.
I despise them all, all politicians hate us, we return their favor!!
Sabotage.
Intentional. The seat must now remain vacant until November. One more quitter and the Dims take charge (as if they aren’t already).
The GOP is infiltrated with Demonrat traitors.
Disgusting.
some have been screaming that for almost a decade now. it’s called the swamp. the uni-party. behold the truth.
I’ve been screaming it far longer than a decade. Glad you all finally joined me.
Someone upthread suggested that he be expelled now so that the seat can be filled before the election. Is that doable?
Possible not probable.
Speaker Spectacles is on the take.
One more quitter and the Dims control. They’ll pass a bill calling Trump an insurrectionist making him ineligible due to SC dithering. Senate, too. Resident signs. Boom.
Game over.
The only way out of this is at the pointy end of a rifle. The only question remaining is who will be holding it at the end, the people or the gruberment.
Drip drip drip so we don’t catch on…
Oh dear God this is terrifying
Pray and prepare. We’ve been through a lot in the history of this Republic. It’s our time to stand strong.
I had just posted this to the Presidential Thread – multiple podcasts are discussing this very thing.
We need to pay attention to the Congressmen and Women looking to leave their perches early, like Ken Buck. Buck alludes to two or three others looking to “retire” early.
If a Presidential candidate does not receive 270 electoral college votes (and RFK Jr is moving up to possibly take a state or two), then the Presidential election leaves the Electoral College and goes to Congress to decide. Then the House, who has 50 state representatives chooses who wins the Presidency and that candidate only needs 26 votes.
For those who hear their representative is bailing, we all need to call them and ASK THEM if they are trying to leave because they don’t want to vote for Trump if the election goes to the House.
The RINOS are revealing themselves. RATS one and all and they should be run out of towns! They are unAmerican and don’t represent the public, only their own special interests!
the house has to certify even if he DOES get 270.
True and that House will have new members elected in November 2024; not this House membership.
This is a stoopid, stoopid strategy but it does expose the corrupt maroons.
Right now I am much more worried about the between now and then period.
Barack Obama through ‘HowdyDoody Biden’ and slim control in the Senate and the House can create a dark pall over this nation from which WE THE PEOPLE will never recover from…they can expand the SCOTUS for example?
Between now and then the house in unison with the Senate and WH can pass legislation to make voting for border jumpers legal.
What happens when there are millions of extra ballots mailed by every Soros SoS in every swing state?
These people are traitors. What happens to traitors today in our civilized world? Nothing. So the payoff is worth it..
There will be a NEW CONGRESS elected November 2024 for what you are writing about.
They are desperate.
I believe they will fail bigly.
you are extremely naive! there may never be another election? if they control ALL OF THE LEVERS, what can you do about it?
WI has 8 representatives: 6R + 2D. Even with Gallagher’s seat open, this would still leave the Rs with a majority. If Trump takes WI, Gallagher’s absence would not impede the WI congressional delegation from casting their single vote in favor of Trump should the less-than-270 scenario come to pass.
I think that is correct. If not, please explain.
Flipping the House over to the Dems between now and November will NOT effect the Jan 2025 certification.
The outcome of the November election determines who controls the certiification vote. The newly elected House is seated after the New Year and it is these newly elected representatives who vote for certification NOT the current House.
“The members and newly-elected members of Congress are sworn into office convening a new Congress on January 3rd at noon as dictated by the Constitution unless the preceding Congress chooses another day.
“A joint session will open for Congress to count Electoral Votes. There is a process for objecting to electors. There is also a process if no candidate wins 270 votes.”
.
https://www.rockthevote.org/explainers/election-certification-an-explainer/
So, you’re saying that THIS congress (with the possible degradation of the republican party to give democrat majority) could put the new congress in AFTER the counting of the electoral votes??
Am I missing the obvious problem with this? (I don’t think so)
No. The current congress ends on Jan 2, 2025 and has nothing to do with counting the electoral votes.
The new congress, elected by the voters on Nov 5th, and seated on Jan 3rd, oversees the counting of the electoral votes.
For those worried whether the House flipping blue this year would impact the counting of electoral votes in January 2025 –it won’t.
Excellent. Thank you.
That’s if all goes well…
I believe it isn’t relevant as to which party in Congress has the overall majority because it is determined on a state by state basis, e.g., since the representatives from California have a Democrat majority, they would vote for the Dem, while the representatives from ND, ID, WV and SD would have four state votes for the Republican. Even though the four republican states have less representatives than the state of Ca.
Each STATE gets a vote according to the majority party of their representatives.
I swear they have a plan to make Bobby president this way.
All China/globalists/Rinos want is a president that supports the green new deal as it benefits China.
They are using games to make Bobby look like an outsider and to be an acceptable choice instead of Trump. They are hyping him as an independent vs a democrat.
It will be the same terrible economy if they make Bobby president. The green agenda benefits China and ruins our economy further.
Let’s hope I’m wrong. They have a plan. I just don’t know exactly what it is.
The illusion of the two party system is eroding quickly. Uniparty same benefactors and agendas. Soon we will be welcoming Speaker Jeffries to the leadership. Republicants are making this possible.
or aoc. she’s palosi in training and no doubt has the balls to carry out the subterfuge.
Decorating a few lamp posts would put an end to this.
We had a golden opportunity, and its unlikely we will get such, again.
There are always opportunities.
One doesn’t have to wait for one to happen by when one can create them. More a matter of will.
who gets it started?
lots of lamp posts… but shortage of courage to act?
Get the list ready for posterity – traitors to America – all of them. They will allow our Republic to fall. Traitors in the first degree.
What a horrible little man..
so, they didn’t just have a flight log, they had pics.
yep! and their files are just beginning to hit the table!
Perhaps the same folks who write the laws for him and tell him how to vote orchestrated his departure and he’s merely doing his duty. I’ve always seen politicians mostly as puppets anyway. Bought and paid for.
I hope his community will shun him and his family.
Aaron Fritschner
@Fritschner
WOW! Like Buck, Mike Gallagher carefully timed his departure. Under Wisconsin law, congressional vacancies occurring “prior to the 2nd Tuesday in April” in an election year get filled on a faster timeline. An April 19th resignation will keep Gallagher’s seat vacant until November. Horrible person!
Johnson should expel him Monday.
Not going to happen. Stop relying on “Mr. Christian” Mike Johnson to do anything of the sort.
We need to find out what the unies have on Gallaghar and announce it anyway.
totally agreed – i would love nothing more than to see these traitors to the republic have the pics go public ANYWAY.
Yes, that IS the way to prevent all these resignations: let them know that if they do it, we reveal it anyway.
So even if Trump wins the electoral collage by 100 votes, a democrat house would not certify his election?
Oh, they wouldn’t dare!
Even for them, that would be a bridge too far.
But then, on the other hand, they do have to save democracy.
they absolutely would, and WILL, and we can see it coming a mile away.
and they ALSO know that there is virtually no chance they would face any real consequence for it. in fact, they probably will be rewarded.
THIS!
Who’s going to stop them
?
None of our institutions.
not a bunch of people who screech “but what about j6” every time anyone suggests anything other than standing around waiting to “vote” again….
Always remember, the most important thing is that nobody do anything, that way we won’t do what they want us to do. It is simply ingenious strategy. Let’s always lose, they will never expect that strategy….. oh, wait a minute…..
Remember, a new House will be elected in November 2024….
Don’t get negative…
This is a dumb scare tactic.
The new House won’t take affect until January 25.
The new house takes effect on January 2nd.
I believe the new House session begins on January 3, 2025, three days before Presidential certification on January 6.
No, you are wrong. For certification purposes, the new Congress does it.
A whole lot of people who don’t know what they are talking about on talk radio are saying this and only a handful of hosts are knowledgeable enough to correct them.
Hopefully, after the exodus in 2018, and now this repeat, people will wrap their head around the concept that these RINO Politicians really DON’T CARE if we ‘vote the bastids out’ so long as they are replaced by another Uniparty.
So, they are telegraphing their intention to gift the gavel to hakeem, and more than a month ago the Senate Decepticon RINOS telegraphed their plan; one more than enough RINOS will ‘switch parties’ to give the D’s a majority in the Senate.
Hence, a Majority D House can vote to Impeach, and a Majority D Senate can vote to convict.
PDJT MUST HAVE a VP that is an Insurance Policy.
Why does that matter? The Democrats would just impeach the VP right after President Trump saying the election was stolen and make Speaker Hakim Jefferies President! This is all real scary 💩! The Democrats, Uniparty, RINOs, IC and deep state seem to have more options to take the Presidency in 2024 than We The MAGA People have! We only have President Trump I pray that’s sufficient and he can keep it once he gets it!
Democrats would need 67 Senators to convict and remove President Trump or his VP.
That’s not a problem with so my Republican DeceptiCon Senators hating President Trump!
Wrong. Need 67 Senators to vote to convict(2/3), not a majority.
Every time this kind of BS takes place, I’m reminded of something Matt Gaetz said in trying to get rid of McCarthy about having his name on the “board of directors” while the country goes down the drain and wanting to do whatever he could to be on the right side of history and fighting to save the country. These traitors like Buck and Gallagher deserve nothing but shame on their names and their families for all of eternity for their part in flushing us down the drain. These are the people that Franklin warned about and their names must be known and documented for all of time.
You do “get it” that Matt Gaetz gave us Speaker McCarthy, and then when he wore out, Gaetz gave us Speaker McJohnson, right?
I do “get it”. That doesn’t change the fact that all of these people are responsible for these dark and dangerous times we find ourselves in and come April 19th when this latest “Republican’ leaves office, he should just be forgotten along with the others. Much like the current Board has destroyed the Disney brand, these Republican “board members” have destroyed the American brand and they should not get to just walk away unscathed. That’s all I’m saying.
It’s every member of Congress and Senate since JFK. You cant unsee 70 years of corruption…These people dont even know their lack of freedom and knowledge.
“…If conspiracies were theories, Suspicious Cat wouldn’t exist.”
If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man, but deteriorate the cat (Mark Twain)
just as a reminder: Johnson contributed directly to this as well by focusing his first actions as “speaker” on George Santos instead of ANY of the things he said he would do.

Thanks for the info, Sundance. I’m just wondering, though (since I don’t know how this works — I thought all states appointed interim reps or had special elections.) If Gallagher resigns from WI’s 8th on April 19, does that mean that the entire 8th District is without any representation at all in Congress until January 2025?
And yet, there are issues being voted on, in which they will have no say? (Or if someone needs a congressman to advocate for them, they are out of luck till next year?) They have no one representing them in budget and tax votes, either, right? So how is this different from the American Revolution slogan of, “Taxation without representation is tyranny”? They are paying taxes, and will have no one to call or email to advocate for how they are allocated — or about any other issue. Seems insane. Could Wisconsin fast track a change in their law to counteract this? Just me thinking this through…
April 19th.
Sundance do you
have a crystal ball
inside of your marvelous
brain?😊👏
I remembered the date
from your earlier article.
And I have even budgeted
extra for food shopping and
supplies for the week
before…just in case.😊
Timing is everything.
Kudos once again to you!
Did President Trump endorse this candidate?
Republicans in his district should sue him for depriving them the constitutional right of a representative in congress.
He ran for the seat and entered into a contract with citizens that voted him in.
Just spit balling, but he has caused actual damage to the citizens in his district.
Sue him in state court.
Yes. Using Quo Warranto! (by what authority did you do this?)
The Republican party already would have been dead if not for PDJT & MAGA. Now you all here & millions more are seeing the truth of the Uniparty Hegelian Dialectical political system(s) that had been put in place by the Globalists throughout the ‘cucked’ Western Christian nations.
Look up how “Eddie” Heath, who later on was outed as a vile kiddie fiddler, hamstrung the real “Conservatives” in the UK like Enoch Powell.
Whitehall=Chatham House
They are clearly setting things up for 1) Biden to get pushed to the curb; and 2) the election going to Congress.
Isn’t it odd that it’s only GOPe that are resigning? (Rhetorical question, we all know the answer.)
His constituents need to force him to resign immediately
in order for that to matter, he would have to regard himself as answerable to them.
we give them no reason to believe that.
Congress is the real enemy of the United States. If they’d do their jobs, the other stuff would fall in place.
remember, we the people are the cavalry. no one is coming to rescue team good guys. we help ourselves or we die.
These reps should not be able to resign. Period. How dare they care so little for their constituents? BUT, if this makes way for people like Adam Morgan, then so be it. We all knew we would have to walk through Hell to get to Heaven. Keep praying. They are not going gently into the night…
The 2022 midterm election fraud results was the insurance policy. All MAGA candidates defrauded and prevented from representing us in Congress, leaving us with a slim majority of active and dormant UniParty Club Rhinos.
More receipts for the pretenders to pretend not to notice.

What’s in Gallagher’s Manila Folder. Besides being a coward.
Golden Parachuttes
a book deal and a CNN gig.
Revisit the recent 9-0 SOTUS decision, that states can not disqualify a Federal Election Candidate. The majority decision stated that it was up to the Congress to Legislate, with respect to creating criteria for using the Constitution to disqualify or remove a Federal candidate.
Should two more members of the GOPe drop out:
Places, the already written democrat legislation in play (there was a news report last week that the democrats had already written the legislation).
A joint session of Congress approves, with at least a few GOPe votes in support to make it bi-partisan legislation, as the Democrats have the majority.
Jack Smith continues the January 6 prosecution with insurrection added to the charges, in DC Federal Court.
Heck .. just to show he is “fair guy”, Jack Smith may even drop the Florida Documents Case as dropped the documents transgression for JoeBama.
In addition:
ALL of the dormant parts of the Voting Rights Act from 2021 are passed, to include; the misinformation censorship, mail in mandates and drop box mandates, no voter ID ….
Hakeem Jefferies stops ALL Biden hearings.
The part that chaps me the most . . . plenty of idiots around this nation support the incoming outcome just as you wrote it out.
“Hakeem Jefferies stops ALL Biden hearings…”
Whether he does or not these “hearings” are going nowhere, anyway – they are a RNC fund-raising effort. So let him shut them down – NBD.
Not seeing much difference between Republicans leading or Democrats leading.
They are both one in the same.
Technically you are correct … it is all about the perception feeding the image of legitimacy at this point.
The 40% in la la land and “Trump is mean crowd” will not budge if the perception of legitimacy remains.
Can’t Johnson just close it all down? Not let anything move forward? If the Dems take over, their HB 1 will be voted on, passed, sent to the Senate, passed, and then signed into law. At that point, elections are taken over by the Feds, and a bunch of other nasty stuff is going to happen. Say goodbye to 1A and 2A. Effectively, we will be a one-party government.
“MR. CHRISTIAN” WILL NOT CLOSE IT ALL DOWN. When are you going to realize that Johnson is just another Uniparty squish?
The Republican party should expel Gallagher, effective immediately.
So one seat majority on April 19 when anti-American RINO Gallegher leaves; his seat will not be filled and will be vacant until next January. This is a giant FU to the people of Wisconsin that elected him.
May 20th the McCarthy California seat will likely be filled by another Republican.
In June The RINO Ken Buck seat will get filled likely with another Colorado Republican.
So unless another RINO or two resigns soon after April 19 the likelihood of the Democrats Socialist Hakeem Jeffries becoming Speaker is limited to a one to two month term.
Frankly I am glad these turds are going. Don’t want to see the House flip, but they way Buck and Gallegher are leaving should leave no doubt that they would rather see the socialist Democrats in power than conservatives. These are people who ought to be shunned by decent Americans.
Read that he was upset with the pushback when he voted against the impeachment of Mayorkis. IOW, he told his constituents to take a hike. I hope these constituents hound this man every chance they get. What a POS.
Look into how Buck’s resignation affects Lauren Boebert’s re – election. That is the real reason that Kenny bailed out.

Thank you Sundance for one of the jump links, which took me to a paragraph at Politico mentioning that the delay in indicting Pres. Trump was simply due to bumbling by Garland and Lisa Monaco. That was a good laugh. Now back to reality.
A video re-enactment illustrating how simple it is to persuade Mike Gallagher to resign.
It’s not ‘principle’ that drives these creatures, but greed. I wonder how much he is going to get paid, and in what form the remuneration will come, book deals, insider trading stock deals, etc. Buck = Gallagher = man-ho
Is the fetid stench of DEEP STATE snooping showing its head in all of this? Are the dirt gathered during 10-15 years of ‘Patriot Act’ snooping being leveraged for political gain? And if so…what choice do WE THE PEOPLE have except prayer and a strong well-delivered ‘right hand’? (Fire & Brimstone)
The dominos are starting to fall! Trusting Sundance to keep us informed!
Per an article in All Things Politics: David Spring, former head of the WA state Dem party, is the author of “Exposing the DNC Plan to Rig the 2024 Election”. He was removed from the party for exposing the Dems million dollar bribe to a state Republican Senator who then dropped out of the Senate and endorsed her Dem opponent.
The Dems squirreled away lotsa dollars in the 0’Bama years because, as SD says, they use money to get power.
They’ll be able to get their Ukraine money soon. Disgusting.
These people are absolutely being bribed. Call it whatever you want, but big dollars are being dangled.
it could be bribes
it could be blackmail.
it could even be them being privy to things about to happen and they just want out before the collapse accelerates.
Both Buck and Gallagher prolly getting untraceable life-changing money safe in the knowledge that the Feds won’t question it.
The GOP could put pressure on these traitors to stay past April 19 by ensuring they’d never get any lobbying or other political work again and letting them know that would happen. Johnson clearly wants to lose the majority.
The GOP DID put pressure on these traitors to resign, although it probably didn’t take MUCH pressure.
Hey at least he voted like Democrat to spend money before he left!
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t the Democrats under Pelosi change the law that allows the Vice President to reject the electors, thus objections must be resolved within the House and eventually by SCOTUS if necessary?…..so this is going to be very interesting.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Democrats were bribing RINOs to leave.
Remember the offer Kari Lake received? You can bet on it! Because–there are trillions at stake.
Remember, the GOP threw the house to the democrats in 2018.
I don’t damn the weasels for being weasels — but I do damn republican voters who elect them.
I grew up expecting my friends to act like friends. How naive I was.
I grew up trusting God. HE is the one and only I have trust in, then my husband. My daughter who I trusted showed her color when my dad died July5th 2023, due to the Estate. How sad we are in litigation now. I believe in the love of money, greed, never imagined it would happen in my family!!
