On the KITM Holiday Countdown we’re running out of holidays to count down. As it is Tuesday, we did count down the minutes till David Waldman welcomed Joan McCarter, but didn’t expect her to bring many glad tidings. The Gop has no Christmas joy to send Ukraine. Germany will be permanently deploying troops for the first time since World War II. Leonard Leo will make sure Supreme Court stockings are overflowing this year, as he has in years before. Clarence Thomas will continue to ho-ho-ho for billionaires, but won’t expect anything nice from his sister. (Actually, he probably does.) The court is probably wrapping their secret Santa gift for Donald Trump as we speak. (They’ll never top the one Sandra Day O'Connor gave W.) Republicans nominate a “Democrat” to succeed George Santos, thus replacing a liar with a lie. Ever since Greg Abbott had his saw blade buoys taken away, he’s been looking for a new way to persecute migrants. Instead, he’s reaching back to the classics.
