MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)Pushing back against charges that Senator Mitch McConnell is a Russian asset, the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, said on Tuesday that McConnell has never been an asset to any country.
You can scour the four corners of the globe, and you will not find a nation that would ever in a million years consider Mitch McConnell an asset, Putin said.
The Russian President urged pundits who have called McConnell a Russian asset to look up the word asset in the dictionary.
You will find that asset means a useful or valuable thing, Putin said. The only part of that definition that fits McConnell is thing.

That can only mean the opposite. Otherwise, why would Putin even acknowledge it.

His satire is getting too close to the truth these days.

Real life is getting so absurd that satire is losing it's emphasis.

Can't tell the difference anymore.

Geez! I am glad Putin spoke out, how can we doubt MoscowMitch now.
Hey Vladimir, thank you for confirming what we already knew, MoscowMitch IS a Russian asset.

This isn't playing into Putin's plans for 2020. They didn't expect this.
I hope there are many more disruptions into the GOPutins plans.
It's not as secretive as it was in 2016 and prior.
