Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

Progressives don't represent anyone but themselves. The more of them we get rid of, the stronger and more representative our government will be.

There is more to this story for sure.

If you believe he is leaving Congress to be with his grandson, you are a fool.

“The truth be told, I never expected to be in Congress this long,” Yarmuth said in a video posted on his Twitter account. “Candidly, I have found new and incomparable joy in spending time with my young grandson.”



“Truth be told” and “candidly”?

The guy is lying.

When people say things like that, they are lying.
