Best news I've heard in months. Now if they can replace the coward with some courage!

I did not know that but figured as much. Same as it ever was, same as it ever was,

LOL! I love it.

Sure it will change, if only to show us how deep the rabbit hole goes.

It's possible. According to a story Scott posted the House Freedom Caucus put pressure on him. He gave in to Obama far too many times.

Another example of a leader with no philosophy other than I want to be in charge. Asked what he wants to do when he is in charge and the answer is "Be in charge". The buffoons we elect are just parasites trying to preserve their species. We are too busy living our lives to be bothered with them while they steal our freedom and rob us blind. They are so nearly all the same that is isn't worth thinking about the differences. This will not change by our prescribed process without a group of true patriots that develop a subterfuge that will get them elected without revealing their intent. While it sounds dangerous it is no different to what happens anyway but this time honest men will be the ones that have to resort to the lie of the free lunch.

Maybe the hostile remarks about his performance
got to him, and he decided he didn't want to under-
go that anymore. (Not that people are wrong to
criticize him; I just think it may have had that
effect).

Caitlyn Boehner?

No. Boehner might be gone, but there are too many in the ruling class left.

Perhaps he just wants to take some time out to get in touch with his more feminine side.

that my friend is SOP for all politicians, always leave it for the next guy.

+1!

Nor mine. Wonder who is line to replace him?

I wonder if the tears flowed during his announcement. Certainly not from my eyes.

Resigning is too easy for Boehner. He should have been tared and feathered and run out on a rail. IMHO of course.

My guess is Boehner was stunned to read that (out in the hinterland) 5 of every 8 Republicans feel they've been betrayed by him and the party.
The fitting sendoff for Boehner would be for everyone to have a crying drink.
On, Patriots, to the Senate and McConnell.

Wonder if we will see a "Government shutdown" now?

I suppose whatever purpose he was intended to fill is complete- damage done. I'm curious to see where he ends up.

Poor Presidebt O'Commie is gonna sorely miss his favorite RINO water boy.

the question is will he cry for us; as he walks to the bank courtesy of 0B

A nice part of the announcement as given by the press was that Bonehead wanted to preserve the institution (read: establishment or the political class) of the Congress and he (poor chap) felt he was being attacked by conservatives. Just when I lose all hope, it springs forth that "the message" may be getting across to the left.
