Alex Azar still doesn't make sense when it comes to the coronavirus vaccine, we meet the (alleged) drunk-driving Christian patriot behind the plot to blow the lid nearly a million fake Democrat ballots (or so he thought), our robot reprises the Tom Cruise f-bomb rant, and the boys Butte-judge their father.

We share a quick update from Grandmaster Tooty G and his star witness, Melissa Caronavirus, enjoy this week's SCOTUS slapdown, spend a few minutes meeting secession-minded Texas representative Kyle Biedermann and his lovely wife Barbi, and catch up with Covid-19 slayer Kenneth Copeland. Plus, the weekly quiz!

Iran's top nuclear scientist is assassinated, Trump mansplains from the kiddie table, and Sidney Powell gives a TED Talk on Venezuelan election software. Plus another round of our soon-to-be hit quiz show, "Mmmmm... That Tastes a Little Gamey!"

Greenwald quits The Intercept, Tucker Carlson can't find his package, Anonymous reveals himself (in a non-Toobin way), Bobby argues that - except for the lousy pandemic response - the Trump adminstration probably wasn't much worse than those of Bush and Obama, we marvel at the fog created when you mix the 9th and 10th amendments, and we heart Sassy Justice.
