In Which We Discuss:

1. Latest election results prove one important thing: People want Republicans to stay out of their damn business.

2. “In a fight, I’m gonna bite,” is a real quote you could only get from a real US Senator named Markwayne.

3. Santos begins preparation for his prison and reality television tour. 

4. Jill Stein is back to haunt democratic nightmares once again.

5. Tim Scott will now have all the time in the world to spend with his “very nice,” very real girlfriend.

6. Trump’s hatred of windmills takes center stage at criminal trial focused on financial misdeeds.
