Today might not be the holly-est nor jolliest, but it sure is beginning to feel a lot like the weekend. David Waldman helps us to constructively fill two more hours before we can open presents.

Yesterday, Donald Trump said that he was not a crook, assuring no one on earth, although Donald did knock off one more day of being not held responsible until he can hide in a casket, which has been his sole ambition for over 70 years. The 14th amendment is not the “magical cure-all” that finishes Trump once and for all, but if law and justice can just put one dent in that plan it would be really good for America. This is a generally held Democratic goal, but could possibly become a Republican goal too if they took some time to think about it. Textualists, Originalists, Literalists, and Hypocrites might have found themselves painted into a constitutional corner this time, however.

Meanwhile, Trump is connected to an absolutely perfect phone call pressuring Michigan election officials to subvert the vote. Ronna McDaniel can pack her bags now as she will be relocating under the bus for the foreseeable future.
