Darrell Issa Out Again!

Darrell Issa out again. Only this time, he may move to Texas to run.

With California's referendum to redraw their congressional map to wipe out seven to ten House Republican seats is likely to pass in the primary. Once it passes it will draw out a longtime California lawmaker.

He decides to retire, although opening an option to Texas to run for a friendlier seat.

See the status quo and the constant need to be in office without doing anything but constantly gaslight Americans.

This is also a shill for AIPAC. 

He is a Lebanese American politician who support the apartheid genocidal ethnostate of Israel killing his people. While he claims that he is in favor of that "two state" farce, he is funding Israel without batting a lash.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) was thorn in former president Barack Obama's hand. He was obsessed with the Operation Fast and Furious scandal. He was also heavily invested in the threats of impeachment on Obama and his then attorney general Eric Holder.

Issa took credit with sinking Hillary Clinton's presidential bid. When she ran in 2016, she had been out of office since leaving the Obama Administration in 2013.

He became obsessed with her emails and the Benghazi attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Libya. He blamed her and Obama for allowing Americans to die. The Obama Administration was pushed into the conflicts by Israel, by the way. The ousters of Libya, Tunisia, Egypt and Sudan's leaders were at the behest of Israel.

Issa is the creator of the Viper Car Alarm systems. He is a mllionaire. He is also a key player in the scandals that almost cost him and Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) their seats.

Allegedly, Issa slept with Turner's second wife Majida Mourad after he found out Turner slept with Issa's second wife Kathy. Rumors, folks.

Issa announced Friday he is retiring instead of facing a difficult reelection campaign in a redrawn district.

“It’s the right time for a new chapter and new challenges,” Issa said in a statement.

“Serving in Congress has been the honor of my life.”

Issa, a car alarm magnate considered one of the wealthiest members of Congress, had been a chief antagonist for then President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton while he served as chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, from 2011 to early 2015.

Issa’s abrupt reversal injects more uncertainty in the race for Southern California’s 48th District, which was drastically reshaped in November after voters approved a new U.S. House map for California to favor Democrats.

With an incumbent out of the running, it may be harder for Republicans to hold the seat and, by extension, the party’s fragile majority in the House.

After redistricting, Issa flirted with the idea of leaving California to run for Congress in Texas. But at the time he decided to stay put in his home state.

“I can hold this seat. I’m not quitting on California and neither should anyone else,” Issa, who represents a district anchored in San Diego County, said in a statement at the time.

California’s new congressional map, which was spearheaded by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, is intended to tip as many as five Republican-held seats to Democrats this year to offset President Donald Trump’s push in Texas to gain five seats for his party there.

A national battle to redraw U.S. House districts for partisan advantage is still raging in some states ahead of the November midterm elections.

Voters in Texas and North Carolina already have cast ballots in primary elections for U.S. House districts redrawn at Trump’s urging. But the final boundaries for voting districts remain uncertain in Missouri, even though candidates already are filing for office. They also are unclear in Virginia, where new congressional districts could hinge both on a voter referendum and court rulings.

In his statement, Issa said he was endorsing San Diego County Supervisor James Desmond to succeed him.

Rather than lose with dignity, he let's an unknown take the fall. How comforting knowing that Darrell Issa is more about his fucking ego than the motivation to keep Republicans in power with policies that benefit Americans.

Like Republicans ever had policies to help Americans.
