WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to mounting criticism of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnel's fitness to serve, the Republican party has replaced McConnell with a far more lifelike cardboard cutout of the Kentucky senator, according to sources.

"This will provide us with much more functional leadership," said GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. "This cardboard cutout is a vast improvement, with its static depiction of Senator McConnell being far more lively and interactive than the real, human version. No one even noticed for over a week."

Serious questions have been raised over McConnell's competency after he suffered more than one public episode in which he fell alarmingly silent while speaking to the press. "Replacing him with a life-sized cardboard cutout will silence a lot of these critics," said a GOP insider. "While the transition will feel rather seamless during press conferences, we're expecting to get a lot more productivity and collaboration with the cardboard cutout behind the scenes."

When reached for comment, Senator McConnell responded, "................................"

Congressional Democrat leaders applauded the move while stating this would not present any change in their ability to move their legislative agenda forward. "Honestly, this cardboard cutout isn't much different than the real thing," said Senator Chuck Schumer. "We haven't skipped a beat passing our agenda with zero opposition from Republicans!"

At publishing time, a group of high-ranking government leaders were engaged in secret backroom meetings to discuss how much easier it may be to simply replace every member of Congress over the age of 65 with a cardboard cutout.

Speaker McCarthy:

• Release of the J6 videos - Nope
• Impeach Biden - Nope
• Work for the release of remaining J6 political prisoners - Nope
• Remove the cap on the debt - Yep

Feel free to add....

   Right now I am under the opinion DJT will be jailed, and he will not be allowed on several states ballots effectively knocking him out of the race.   But whoever is next in line, you can bet your ass they will go after them as well.  And the next guy.

He may not go to jail, but he will be pulled off the ballots in several states.  By the time that's determined to be unconstitutional, it will be too late.

In another bizarre uncovering of mittens and his devotion to the unitary and his own interest, mittens spoke out supporting government censorship of social media.

That fucking twat deserves lizzy cheney treatment by the people of Utah.

Sorry if I confused you.

No, I don't think we will run out of petroleum.  I just don't like petroleum and I don't understand people that seem to love it and resist all attempts to develop better, cleaner more efficient energy sources.  But YES, I  do agree with those that don't like to be forced into something new and unproven "just because".

I have lived near refineries in Pennsylvania. They stunk and polluted the air and water.
I have lived near coal mines in West Virginia and would not go back.  And "Clean Coal" is laughable.  That is like saying clean dirt.  Mining is a dirty nasty business which is one of my complaints about electric cars and their batteries.

And I don't want to replace plastic with something else because I think we will run out of petroleum.  I want to develop a plastic replacement because I don't liek plastic.  I wouldn't call it "fake plastic" because plastic itself  is fake.  It is a manufactured product that (almost) NEVER degrades.  Almost all the plastic we have ever made or will make will be with us always  Get a blood test.  You probably have plastic in your blood stream. Perhaps we will make a new kind of degradable plastic out of petroleum.  But I don't like things, like my MIL, that never go away (except money and health).

I don't know anyone that is resisting new, cleaner forms of energy but the conversion needs to be MARKET DRIVEN not government mandates and COST needs to be the same or cheaper adjusted for inflation of course.   

Well, start a thread. And put your two statements above on it, followed by “Prove me wrong.” Or right. Whatever.

If you don’t think we here are legitimate and rational, then why are you here?

I started a thread like that a long time ago.  There was no discussion.  Just insults and accusations and the usual denials.
But I'll think about starting another one when I feel up to it.

I'm here because I learn a lot.  And because I can say FUCK and PUSSY and tell people what I really think about them.

Looks doable to me.
