In Which We Discuss:

1. This week’s Police Commissioner FBI raid in New York felt eerily similar to last week’s Police Commissioner FBI Raid.

2. Mark Robinson is playing GOP scandal Mad Libs.

3. Donald Trump’s assassination attempt sequel is a ratings flop.

4. Somehow RFK’s sex scandal is the least provocative of the lot.

5. We’re on the precipice of a world in which Ted Cruz is no longer our problem.
