Yep. Patient Zero.

The GOP continues to deteriorate. Everything Trump touches dies.

Colorado Rep. Ken Buck is abruptly leaving Congress, calling the institution a "dysfunctional" mess that has "devolved into this bickering and nonsense and not really doing the job for the American people."

Buck issued a statement through his office on Tuesday announcing that he will "depart Congress at the end of next week," nearly eight months before his term is scheduled to end and just a few months after announcing he would not seek reelection in 2024. His departure narrows the already slim Republican majority in the House to just five seats: 218 to 213 with three vacancies, meaning the GOP can only lose two votes and still pass legislation

Shortly after announcing his abrupt resignation, Buck appeared on CNN, where he told Dana Bash that he plans to leave Congress in order to pursue reform to the nation's electoral system. "We've gotta find better candidates and bring America together," he said.

"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," he added, noting that whether or not former President Donald Trump is the Republican nominee in November he this "our system is broken in how we chose candidates and I want to get involved in that process."

House leadership was not aware that Buck would be announcing his resignation on Tuesday, with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) telling Punchbowl News that he was "surprised by Ken's announcement," and was looking "forward to talking to him about that."

Buck's resignation will trigger a special election in Colorado's 4th cDistrict, which borders the seat of MAGA Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.). Earlier this year Boebert " facing a tough electoral challenge in her own district " announced her intent to run in Colorado's 4th. Buck's resignation puts Boebert in a tight spot. If she declines to run in the special election, she may cripple her own ability to pull off a November win in the district, as someone newly elected will occupy the spot and be in a good position to hold it.

Regardless of what Boebert chooses to do, Buck's departure is sending shockwaves through the House of Representatives, and the ever-eroding Republican majority is now hanging on by the slimmest of threads.

Bet that thang smells!

Bet there's a herd of cats that folly her around.

President Biden on Wednesday said Republicans threw Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) "overboard" after torpedoing a border security bill the Oklahoma Republican helped craft.

"They really threw the man overboard," Biden told donors at a New York City fundraiser.

I thought it was great when Biden was listing the benefits of the GOP border security package, and the Trump kissers were booing it. Then they put a camera on Lankford, the Republican author of the bill. He was looking at Biden and said "It's true." when Biden mentioned the 1,200 new border agents.

Trump is destroying the GOP.

Ya know, bullets and blanks look different.

I'm going to take a lot of delight in watching Garvey, a genuine dunce, stumbling around all summer while every woman who worked as a cocktail waitress in California from 1970 to 1990 jumps in front of a camera.

A Nazi quoting, holocaust denying black man against a Jewish man. I guess that's progress for North Carolina?

This confirms that, when in a one-on-one competition, Trump can beat women. Trump is the Andy Kaufman of candidates.

I'm more focused on Taco Tuesday.

They got drunk with power when the Reagan right pandered to them to vote against the Southern Baptist Sunday school teacher. It's one of the reasons I became a Democrat. The separation of church and state is as sacrosanct as the 1st and 2nd amendment. Roe v. Wade made them crazy.

Nulli was a good dude. We grew up in the same area.

An old friend of mine was a daily toker. To hear his wife tell it, he was puffing in his garage with a couple friends and they were laughing like hell. All of a sudden, John dropped on the floor. They thought he was playing, but, it turns out he was in cardiac arrest and didn't make it to the hospital.

It sounds like an after school special, but it's the truth.

When I used to toke, I'd sometimes get heart palpitations. But, everybody is different. Smoke 'em if yer got 'em.

Noel Casler worked on Trump's game show, The Apprentice. He says Trump has been a pill popper for years. Remember Trump's hysteric over heated 2nd debate 4 years ago? Casler said Trump snorts Adderall. His performance that night showed all the signs.

Not anymore.

It seems to be that we want an authority figure to declare/rule/judge that he's eligible or ineligible based on the evidence.

If this was the Revolution, Trump sycophants would be monarchists.

Ha! "This is a fine example of federal overreach! An activist SCOTUS is unconstitutional!"

They should be shouting from the rooftops.

They're looking for women. One child policy refugees.

If you thought, for even a second, that the Supreme Court was going to buy what Colorado was selling, you were just setting yourself up for disappointment.

Let voters decide what government they want. The government you elect is the government you deserve.

BREAKING: Matt Gaetz just confirmed that Hunter Biden didn't invoke his 5th Amendment right even a single time today.

Let's compare:

- Eric Trump - 500 Times
- Donald Trump - 440 Times
- Hunter Biden - 0 Times

Details:

- Eric Trump took it more than 500 times, according to an NY attorney general office court filing.

- Former President Donald Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment right 440+ times during a deposition before lawyers from New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Now who are the liars and crooks?

Yes. Especially when their husbands are away at war.
