2. Mitch McConnell is glitching again

3. Vivek Ramaswamy takes the next natural step from professional grifter to MLM leader 

4. Joe Manchin will run for president because he needs to keep making his houseboat mortgage payments when his senator salary ends

5. Winning the presidency is easy if you give people a reason to vote for you
