However, it looks like that he has decided that he doesn\u2019t want to be yet another dinosaur dying in office and is pulling the plug. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/dick-durbin-no-2-senate-democrat-wont-seek-re-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Sen.

They think it\u2019s their job and not what it\u2019s supposed to be, a public service. Durbin was yet another reason we need to pass an amendment limiting the terms in office of congresscritters. (I like 12 years total)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>His retirement is expected to set off a flurry of activity among a scrum of would-be successors, both Democratic and Republican.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Durbin is from Illinois. The seat is already going up for auction among the Democrat elites in that state. Considering how corrupt the state is, the chances of a Republican actually winning are slim and none and Slim has left for Texas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Durbin represents Illinois, a solidly Democratic state, and Democrats are very confident that they\u2019ll hold the seat in next year\u2019s midterm elections with the GOP only capturing one Illinois Senate seat in the last 40 years.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Illinois <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"><i>Nazis<\/i><\/span> Democrats have spent the better part of a century rigging things to turn Illinois into a Single Party State and have pretty much succeeded. I understand the southern part of the state is more conservative, but they\u2019ve been marginalized by Chicago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) communications director Johanna Rodriguez said that Democrats like Durbin are leaving office because of losing policies. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Another Senator leaving is one of mine, Jean Shaheen. Several others have also decided to pull the plug as well. Since the Democrat Party in general has gone literally Socialist\/Communist and is actively backing illegal aliens over American Citizens and Lawful Resident Aliens, along with calling for the destruction of Israel, many people that the Democrats once owned have fled the plantation and are now supporting President Trump.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>&#8220;Senate Democrats continue to jump ship as their party\u2019s brand tanks because they prioritize criminal illegal aliens over the Americans that elected them,&#8221; Rodriguez said. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/02\/f3\/44\/02f3449276d0e50a756f43eeb83eceed.jpg?resize=320%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Among the Democrats considering a 2026 run to succeed Durbin in the Senate are Reps. Robin Kelly, Raja Krishnamoorthi and Lauren Underwood, as well as Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton and state Sen. Robert Peters. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know who any of these people are, but I suspect they make Lenin, Stalin and Mao look like Republicans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Durbin is a longtime advocate for immigration reform and co-authored the DREAM (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) Act, which would provide a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. Although the act did not pass, Durbin&#8217;s advocacy contributed to the establishment of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides those immigrants with temporary protection from deportation and work authorization. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>This may be another reason he\u2019s pulling the plug. For the last four years, we\u2019ve seen a literal invasion of the United States by illegal aliens. President Trump\u2019s plan to remove them from the United States is deeply opposed by the Democrats, but the voters are in favor of this and by a large majority. The recent actions by the Democrats have caused a number of people to say \u201cEnough is enough\u201d and start looking towards the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/seen-coming.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-22259\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/seen-coming.jpg?resize=242%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"242\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/seen-coming.jpg?resize=242%2C300&amp;ssl=1 242w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/seen-coming.jpg?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>He also advocates for stricter gun laws and supported the Affordable Care Act, also referred to as Obamacare. Durbin voted to convict Trump in impeachment trials held by the Senate in 2020 and 2021, although Trump was acquitted in both. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Democrats contempt for the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Amendment is on full display in Illinois. Basically, you can\u2019t own a gun there unless you\u2019re a criminal. Obamacare has proven to be what everyone thought it would be, an expensive failure. That Durbin supported it is not surprising, especially the part that forced people to pay for it as part of being a citizen. (Basically slavery. Not surprising at all since the Democrat Party has always been the Party of Slavery in one form or another)<\/p>\n<p>The Fox article in many ways reads like an obituary. Sadly, Durbin isn\u2019t dead. Worse, he hasn\u2019t been criminally charged with the myriad of criminal activities he has engaged in over the years including treating with enemies of the United States. Still, he\u2019s on his way out the door. Now we need to get rid of the rest including a few RINO Dinosaurs as well.
