In a recent meeting between House Speaker Kevi McTalkative and President Bliden, things got a little heated when McCarthy tried to coax Bliden into discussing spending cuts before raising the debt ceiling.
Sources say that McCarthy was armed and ready with a PowerPoint presentation titled “The Top Ten Wasteful Government Spending Programs,” complete with clip art and bullet points.
But President Bliden was having none of it. He reportedly responded with a PowerPoint of his own titled “The Top Ten Reasons Why We Should Just Print More Money,” featuring memes and GIFs instead of boring graphs.
As the two continued to argue, things took a weird turn when McCarthy pulled out his secret weapon: a puppet of a grumpy old man named Uncle Sam.
“Let’s hear what Uncle Sam has to say, Bliden!” he proclaimed, waving the puppet in the air.
But instead of a witty quip, the puppet just grumbled incoherently and hiccuped a few times.
Bliden couldn’t help but burst out laughing, which only made McCarthy more determined to get his point across.
He even started doing interpretive dance to demonstrate the crippling effects of government overspending, but it just looked like he was having a seizure.
In the end, they agreed to disagree and parted ways, but not before McCarthy sent Bliden a strongly worded email full of spelling errors and accusations of being a secret socialist.
As for Uncle Sam, insiders say he’s currently undergoing therapy to deal with the trauma of being used as a prop in a political argument.
