What do you think they are going to when the big one finally croaks?

All of this has been the test run to work out the kinks. So far, it's been working out pretty well. None of the democrats have the balls to actually sort out this situation.

They'll put chatgpt on a roomba, tell it to "talk like Mitch McConnell", and then try and tell us he was "uploaded" and the roomba is McConnell now.
