Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) health scare has Republican senators wondering whether the 81-year-old lawmaker will stay in the top job beyond the 2024 election and who might eventually replace him.
They'll replace him with the newer model - a racist, elderly 75 year old man.
66 0 ReplyThat's too much of a risk for the GOP. At that age they're more able to molest the interns again.
Best to replace Mitch with someone who is uncertain if lemonade will catch on and is skeptical of non-wooden dental implants.

Don't worry, they'll find an asshole to replace him. It is way easier than to find a non-asshole in that party, anyway.
19 0 ReplyThey don't even have to work very hard given Rand fucking Paul still has a seat. May as well just fly over a Russian oligarch to replace him.

That would streamline GOP propaganda in quite a way, yes.

I'm sure they'll find an asshole to replace him. I'm just afraid they'll find a worse asshole than him.
2 0 ReplyWell, that's always the risk with the GOP.

Might be hard to find another asshole who’s as ruthless about loopholes and dirty tricks. I’d say there’s a 90% chance that replacing him weakens the republicans.

I wonder which asshole is more likely to replace him in the current senators.
Rick Scott?

Whomever they get to replace him has a big shell to fill. Perhaps Bowser is available? The internet tells me he's only 34.

"Shadow race" definitely sounds like democracy to me.
11 0 ReplyThe shadow part is usually implied, I'm surprised to see it actually written

Yep, all of the sudden they're worried! Someone must've found Mitch's horcruxes!

My vote's for Lord Buckethead.
Although at this rate, Mitch will be replaced by a bucket filled with his ashes.
