Ancient Evil Reptiloid Dick Durbin, Get This, <i>Won't</i> Seek Reelection in 2026, Ending a Thirty-Plus Year Reign of Graft and Demoralization

Ancient Evil Reptiloid Dick Durbin, Get This, Won't Seek Reelection in 2026, Ending a Thirty-Plus Year Reign of Graft and Demoralization

Dear Lord, what could we sinners have done to be deserving of such blessings today?

Senator Dick Durbin (D., Ill.), the second most powerful Senate Democrat, announced Wednesday his decision not to run for another term after nearly three decades in the world's greatest deliberative body.
Durbin, 80, is ending his Senate career after five terms, the longest tenure of any Senator in Illinois history. His retirement opens up a deep blue seat in 2026 and will create a leadership competition for Senate Democrats amid frustration with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) and generational turnover within the party.
...
Durbin becomes the latest Senate Democrat to opt out of running for another term, joining the ranks of Senators Gary Peters (Mich.), Tina Smith (Minn.), and Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.). Peters's seat is expected to be one of the most competitive in the 2026 cycle, while Smith, Shaheen, and Durbin's vacancies are likely to remain in Democratic hands.
The Democratic primary to fill Durbin's seat is expected to be hyper-competitive because Illinois is a safely blue state. Former Vice President Kamala Harris won Illinois with 54.8 percent of the vote over President Donald Trump's 43.8 percent this past November.

BREAKING: Illinois Democrat Senator Dick Durbin will not seek reelection for his seat which he’s held since 1997.

He says we’re facing a “threat to Democracy” now and he will fight it. Lol

Yeah, I'm sure there was a lot of maneuvering behind the scenes and many palms that were greased.

Durbin's entourage and family will now be added to the ever-growing list of people the deep state needs to create / find no show jobs for. Maybe at NGO's or on the board of a publicly traded company, or... who knows?

But I was more joking about the fact that it's hilarious that it's shocking that an 80 year is not running for another 6 year term.

Airline pilots are forced to retire at like 62. And while their job is very important to the people on that plane, I would say being a US Senator is a bit more important in the big picture. It's ridiculous that we have so many ancient relics walking the halls of power.*

I think we have, we have just entered the stage where no one believes in anything about politics but some still believe in Trump.

The most dangerous time for regime survival is when all of the problems, past lies, grifting, become identified and the reforming champion cannot cut through the Gordian knot to fix them.

Then you get radical action. The Yale poll up top is showing that even yutes are now turning on the natural party of government overreach (Dems).

It remains whether the tattered, gay, and fake GOP can do what they always have promised. That requires pissing on their corporate patrons and donors in a major way in order to fix problems. They can no longer rely on "Me Too but better" to save the system.

Not sure that the rank and file GOP officeholders can do that given their past history of betrayals to the base.

Yeah boomer generation at 18 years is way too long. The idea was post war baby boom right? Hence the name. 18 years is ridiculous. Boomers should be classified at 1946-1955. Anything past that needs a new moniker.

GenX 1965-1980 is about right.

Usually they break generations down to 20ish year blocs. It's easier that way, and should represent roughly one generation of people (well, in theory. Most people arent having kids at 20 years old anymore).

But yes, that'll be true of most generations -- early boomers and late boomers don't have THAT much in common, just like early millennials and late millennials grew up in very different worlds.

266 258 Early and late millennial share the internet. Thats what makes the different from GenX. GenX was pretty much into adulthood by the time the internet became widespread. Millenials were the first generation to almost never know a time without it. Even the earliest millenials were online by the time they were teenagers. GenZ is the same but with social media.

There’s really nothing like that to tie a boomer born in 1946 or 1947 with one born in 1964.

I guess that's true. I grew up when the internet was still new, but I had "high speed internet" (like 4.3 GB down on a cable modem) by the time I was in high school.

But my formative childhood years ... well, the internet existed I guess, but no one was really using it.

345 I've never watched 'The Big Bang Theory.' It seemed retarded.

I've seen a little bit of it and I agree. I heard someone call it a "nerd minstrel show" once and that seems about right.

In January 2025, federal authorities issued a detainer for an illegal alien jailed in Illinois on charges of s*xually assaulting a minor. Due to Illinois’ sanctuary state policies, local law enforcement declined to honor the request. Just 17 days after his release, the individual was arrested again—this time for homicide.

Governor Pritzker prioritizes violent illegals over safety of his constituents.

country, I ask for some relief but, OTOH, also as a granddaughter of a Hugh O'Neill, I remind you, "You can sh*t in yer hat and pull it over her ears" if you don't like it (or the Irish).

*May there be no relationship to the Soros'. 😳

352 I refuse to celebrate ANY of this until I see Patty Murray's name on the list.

The stupid twat's been there since 1992.
