Unhinged Donald Trump decides to start insulting senior citizens after realizing he’s losing their votes

Earlier this week Donald Trump began viciously attacking New York , California , and Illinois , three states he ’ s not going to win anyway , as a way of taking out his frustrations on his expected election loss .
At the time Palmer Report predicted that as Trump came closer to losing , he ’ d begin attacking other groups of voters who are leaning against him .
But even we didn ’ t expect him to crash this far this fast .
At his rally in Pennsylvania this evening , Trump pleaded , “ Suburban women , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s clear that Trump has seen some of the polling which shows that he ’ s getting blown out with women voters .
Now it appears Trump has learned how poorly he ’ s doing with senior citizen voters , and he ’ s writing them off entirely .
Trump posted a tweet tonight that said “ Biden for Resident ” instead of President , and falsely depicted Joe Biden in a wheelchair with a bunch of other seniors in a retirement home .
It ’ s one thing to insult @ @ @ @ @ @ @ insulting senior citizens across the board with this imagery .
While a lot of seniors may not be on Twitter , some of them certainly are – and this shameful tweet will go viral in the real world .
At this point Donald Trump seems less interested in winning than he does in insulting everyone on his way down .

Earlier this week Donald Trump began viciously attacking New York, California, and Illinois, three states he’s not going to win anyway, as a way of taking out his frustrations on his expected election loss. At the time Palmer Report predicted that as Trump came closer to losing, he’d begin attacking other groups of voters who are leaning against him. But even we didn’t expect him to crash this far this fast.
At his rally in Pennsylvania this evening, Trump pleaded, “Suburban women, will you please like me?” It’s clear that Trump has seen some of the polling which shows that he’s getting blown out with women voters. Now it appears Trump has learned how poorly he’s doing with senior citizen voters, and he’s writing them off entirely.
Trump posted a tweet tonight that said “Biden for Resident” instead of President, and falsely depicted Joe Biden in a wheelchair with a bunch of other seniors in a retirement home. It’s one thing to insult Biden like this. But Trump is insulting senior citizens across the board with this imagery. While a lot of seniors may not be on Twitter, some of them certainly are – and this shameful tweet will go viral in the real world.
At this point Donald Trump seems less interested in winning than he does in insulting everyone on his way down. That’s good news for us. It means that while Trump is off playing the fool, we can double down on voter turnout, phone banking, and volunteering, and really run up the score.

palmerreport--2020-10-14--Bill Barr just crashed and burned

Bill Barr just crashed and burned

Even as the media largely plays up Attorney General Bill Barr as some kind of evil genius , Palmer Report keeps pointing out that Barr actually has a largely ineffective record when it comes to being Donald Trump ’ s henchman .
For instance , Barr has tried and failed to meddle in the Flynn , Cohen , Stone , Lev , Igor , and Bannon cases .
Now Barr has really crashed and burned on something that ’ s near and dear to Trump .
For a few years now , Donald Trump has been insisting that then-President Obama @ @ @ @ @ @ @ others “ illegally ” unmasked Michael Flynn in U.S. intel reports during the transition period .
To that end , Trump had Bill Barr launch a lengthy probe into this supposed unmasking scandal , in the hope of ginning up some kind of criminal scandal for Obama and Biden .
But now the U.S. Attorney assigned to the investigation has found no real wrongdoing , and has completed his work without bring any criminal charges against any Obama people , or even a report detailing any supposed wrongdoing , according to the Washington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , because there was nothing to find .
But it shows that Barr simply doesn ’ t have the muscle to twist U.S.
Attorneys ’ arms into bringing sham criminal charges .
Over the past week Donald Trump has repeatedly chastised Bill Barr on Twitter for having failed to arrest any of Trump ’ s political adversaries .
Now that Barr has officially failed Trump yet again in this regard , we ’ ll see how Trump lashes out in response .
But the pattern is more clear than ever that Barr is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he ’ s merely been selling Trump a bill of goods all this time without really sticking his neck out .

palmerreport--2020-10-15--The danger we’re now facing

The danger we’re now facing

Joe Biden ’ s lead continues to grow larger , both nationwide and in swing states .
We ’ re now looking at a historically large lead , and not the kind that ’ s easily erased by poll sampling errors , voter suppression shenanigans , or complacency .
If anything , a lead this large leads to a bandwagon effect , because some voters in the middle like the idea of knowing they ’ re voting for the winner .
Yet today we ’ ve seen NBC News schedule an illegitimate town hall with Donald Trump aimed at sabotaging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night .
Today we ’ ve seen the New York Post tabloid newspaper publish a laughably phony story about Hunter Biden , and we ’ ve seen a prominent New York Times reporter promote that obviously phony New York Post story .
It ’ s as if the mainstream media has all suddenly run wild .
If there ’ s a danger right now , it ’ s that Biden is pulling so far ahead , the media now thinks he ’ ll win no matter what – and they therefore think there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden to gin up ratings , or in handing Trump free media .
As always , we have to hold the media accountable .
For the record , the media took this position for the entire 2016 election cycle , and spent every minute of it lying about Clinton for ratings – which is why she was never able to keep more than a fairly small lead , and why the Comey letter was enough to finish her off .
In 2020 , the media seemed to have learned its lesson , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But with Biden now firmly up by double digits… old habits die hard .
The media exists to score ratings .
It doesn ’ t exist for any other reason .
Just make sure you all vote .

For the record, the media took this position for the entire 2016 election cycle, and spent every minute of it lying about Clinton for ratings – which is why she was never able to keep more than a fairly small lead, and why the Comey letter was enough to finish her off.
In 2020, the media seemed to have learned its lesson, and mostly stayed away from phony Biden scandals. But with Biden now firmly up by double digits… old habits die hard. The media exists to score ratings. It doesn’t exist for any other reason. Just make sure you all vote.

palmerreport--2020-10-15--The international money trail flowing into Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign just became more clear

When when Robert Mueller was still on the job , he fought in court to obtain records from an unnamed international bank , in relation to Donald Trump .
Mueller ’ s once-aggressive investigation ended up sheepishly going down the tubes with no real results , for reasons that still have yet to be explained .
But one key piece of the puzzle has finally been revealed – and it fits with another recently revealed piece .
It turns out it was all about Donald Trump ’ s 2016 campaign , which went broke , and the $ 10 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just the right time .
CNN is now reporting that Mueller believed an Egyptian bank was the source of the mysterious $ 10 million .
This would be a huge deal , because foreign campaign contributions are illegal .
But that may only be half the story .
Last week the New York Times reported that according to Donald Trump ’ s tax records , the $ 10 million bailout of Trump ’ s 2016 campaign may have been part of an overall $ 21 million windfall that Trump received from his own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of campaign finance law .
If these two stories are both accurate , then it points to the $ 10 million having flowed from the Egyptian bank , through , Donald Trump ’ s Vegas hotel , and into Trump ’ s 2016 campaign .
Of course the government of Egypt isn ’ t known to be in bed with Trump , but nations like Saudi Arabia and Russia are .
So who exactly gave the money to the Egyptian bank to begin with ?
Was it just a go-between ?
This raises @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s more clear than ever that something went very wrong with the Mueller investigation , beyond the fact that Bill Barr redacted some things .
Mueller had been running an aggressive probe , until Barr simply frowned at him at which point Mueller gave up and went home .
In any case , with Donald Trump sinking and the sharks swirling , it ’ s all finally starting to come out how .
But this is information that the public was entitled to years ago .

palmerreport--2020-10-14--The real reason this new Quinnipiac poll is so bad for Donald Trump

The thing no one gets about 2016 is that in the end , the polls were pretty accurate .
The final polling averages predicted that Hillary Clinton would win the popular vote by four points .
She won it by two points , which was within the stated margin of error .
As it turned out , two points wasn ’ t enough to win the Electoral College .
Small consolation .
But the polls weren ’ t wrong , they were just widely misinterpreted and widely misreported .
This brings us to 2020 , where the polls paint a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lead in the polls all along was fairly small – roughly four points – and while it occasionally grew larger , it always settled back down to the four point range .
Biden ’ s lead in the polling averages has been a steady eight points all along .
Recent events have caused it to swell to ten or eleven , but even if that doesn ’ t last , it ’ ll likely settle back down to eight points , which is not a number that Trump can easily overcome with suppression @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us to today ’ s new Quinnipiac poll .
To be fair , Quinnipiac has been at the high end of the polling range in this election cycle .
That said , Quinnipiac says Joe Biden is now up by a stunning seven points in Georgia , a red state .
This comes on the same day that the WXIA-TV poll has Biden up by two points in Georgia .
If Biden wins Georgia , it ’ s over for Trump .
And if Biden even comes close to winning Georgia , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in which the swing states will put Trump out of his misery .
These numbers are untenable for Donald Trump .
Even if you factor in the two points by which the polls were wrong in 2016 , or the stated three to four point margin of error on most polls , this isn ’ t going to work for him .
At this point it ’ s simply a turnout election .
If we turn out in the numbers that we ’ re telling pollsters we ’ re going to turn out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Now let ’ s get to work on making a plan to vote , and on encouraging those around us to vote as well .

That said, Quinnipiac says Joe Biden is now up by a stunning seven points in Georgia, a red state. This comes on the same day that the WXIA-TV poll has Biden up by two points in Georgia. If Biden wins Georgia, it’s over for Trump. And if Biden even comes close to winning Georgia, it’ll point to a national trend in which the swing states will put Trump out of his misery.

palmerreport--2020-10-14--Here’s why they don’t like you, Donald

Here’s why they don’t like you, Donald

Donald Trump is so desperate , he can relate to Lindsey Graham ’ s begging on TV .
Maybe Trump thought his pal ’ s plea for funds would be the right approach as his campaign sinks daily .
Trump ’ s appeal was a bit different .
Although the Trump campaign could use some funds , Donald Trump pleaded with “ suburban women ” to “ please like him.
” Mr. Trump could use a refresher course named Why Suburban Women Hate You : – A large percentage of this sought after demographic are mothers .
Mothers do not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or torn out of the arms of their parents .
– Suburban women are bearing the weight of the Covid-19 restrictions .
Women who can work from home need to juggle homeschooling while attending Zoom conferences .
– Suburban women are angry at Trump ’ s push to get children back to school without any evidence of safety , or funds to make schools safe .
Recent revelations from the Bob Woodward book , Rage , revealed that Trump is aware of children ’ s dangers , despite publicly claiming otherwise .
– @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to dismantle Obamacare would leave millions without health insurance .
Donald Trump is on the wrong side of social issues that truly hit home for families .
Gay marriage , the rights of a woman to control her health decisions , equal rights in the workplace , the rights of the differently-abled , and immigration issues target nearly every person in this nation .
– Donald Trump ’ s failure to deal with gun violence while taking money from the NRA eliminates him from consideration for many .
– Donald Trump is vulgar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has taken advantage of his celebrity status and has never had to answer for any credible allegations of sexual assault .
– Women are a more reliable voting block than men .
They believe voting should decide the election , rather than interference of any kind .
– Donald Trump is a racist .
The Suburbs has become code for “ white ” in Trump-speak .
The Suburban towns do not reflect the racial divisions in Trump ’ s polluted cesspool of thought .
The women he begged for support are far more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than Trump fabricated race war .
If Trump plans to win , it is unlikely he can rely on the women ’ s vote .
His injuries are self-inflicted and can not be corrected .

Although the Trump campaign could use some funds, Donald Trump pleaded with “suburban women” to “please like him.” Mr. Trump could use a refresher course named Why Suburban Women Hate You:
– A large percentage of this sought after demographic are mothers. Mothers do not like to see children locked in cages or torn out of the arms of their parents.
– Suburban women are bearing the weight of the Covid-19 restrictions. Women who can work from home need to juggle homeschooling while attending Zoom conferences.
– Suburban women are angry at Trump’s push to get children back to school without any evidence of safety, or funds to make schools safe. Recent revelations from the Bob Woodward book, Rage, revealed that Trump is aware of children’s dangers, despite publicly claiming otherwise.
– Trump’s desperate and irrational plans to dismantle Obamacare would leave millions without health insurance.
Donald Trump is on the wrong side of social issues that truly hit home for families. Gay marriage, the rights of a woman to control her health decisions, equal rights in the workplace, the rights of the differently-abled, and immigration issues target nearly every person in this nation.
– Donald Trump’s failure to deal with gun violence while taking money from the NRA eliminates him from consideration for many.
– Donald Trump is vulgar. Trump is the serial abuser who has taken advantage of his celebrity status and has never had to answer for any credible allegations of sexual assault.
– Women are a more reliable voting block than men. They believe voting should decide the election, rather than interference of any kind.
– Donald Trump is a racist. The Suburbs has become code for “white” in Trump-speak. The Suburban towns do not reflect the racial divisions in Trump’s polluted cesspool of thought. The women he begged for support are far more scared of the prevalence of white nationalism than Trump fabricated race war.
If Trump plans to win, it is unlikely he can rely on the women’s vote. His injuries are self-inflicted and cannot be corrected.

palmerreport--2020-10-14--Donald Trump’s campaign is even more broke than we thought

Based on the many planned TV ad buys the Donald Trump 2020 campaign has been canceling in key swing states in recent weeks , it ’ s been fairly obvious that the campaign is out of money .

Based on the many planned TV ad buys the Donald Trump 2020 campaign has been canceling in key swing states in recent weeks, it’s been fairly obvious that the campaign is out of money. The only reason to pull the plug on TV ads in competitive states is if you simply can’t foot the bill for them.
Now it turns out the Trump campaign is even more broke than we thought. The Washington Post just buried this lede halfway into a lengthy article: “Two senior campaign officials said the operation needs more money to run TV ads … campaign manager Bill Stepien has told others that they need to be careful with money because there are so many states where the campaign needs it.”
In other words, we’re not just imagining it, the Trump campaign really is short on money. Donald Trump keeps publicly insisting that his campaign isn’t broke at all, and that even if it were, he’d simply bankroll the campaign himself. That’s hilarious, considering he’s just as broke as his campaign is. But it raises the question of whether the increasingly delusional and insulated Trump is even aware that his campaign is truly broke, or if his babysitters are keeping him in the dark.

palmerreport--2020-10-14--Even Melania Trump seems to be rooting for Donald Trump to lose

As Donald Trump ’ s behavior continues to grow more erratic and confusing by the day , it ’ s not entirely clear if his unhinged mind understands that he ’ s on track to lose .
It ’ s almost as if he wanders back and forth between delusionally believing the fake positive polls his handlers feed him , and believing the devastating real polls he ’ s seeing on TV .
But what about the people around him ?
Do his kids think he still has a chance ?
After all , they ’ re facing prison if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Eric Trump have been completely losing their minds during recent public appearances , suggesting they ’ re getting nervous .
Then there ’ s Melania .
Even as Donald Trump falsely insists that he ’ s no longer capable of spreading or catching coronavirus , Melania Trump is now making a point of trying to bring the White House coronavirus outbreak under control .
More to the point , she ’ s making sure the media reports that she ’ s trying to bring the White House coronavirus outbreak under control .
She @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this undermines Donald ’ s own election messaging – or maybe that ’ s the point .
It ’ s as if Melania Trump has seen her husband ’ s tax returns , realized the money she ’ s been hanging around for doesn ’ t exist , and wants his presidency over with so he can go to prison and she can simply move on with her life .
We have zero interest in what she ’ ll do after Donald ’ s downfall .
But it ’ s notable that at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trying to help make it happen .

palmerreport--2020-10-14--The question Amy Coney Barrett won’t answer

Imagine Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett being asked this question : “ Does the president of the United States have the power to take your guns away from you ?
” I can easily imagine how anything short of an unequivocal “ No !
” would be met with howls of outrage from NRA-funded Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee , not even to mention the loud but virulent minority of gun fetishists across America .
Now , imagine Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett being asked this question : “ Does the president of the United States have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from you ?
” Imagine no more .
Judge Barrett was asked that essential question by ranking member California Senator Diane Feinstein , and Barrett ’ s answer was an unequivocal , uncompromising “ Maybe.
” Senator Feinstein ’ s actual question went like this : “ Does the Constitution give the president of the United States the authority to unilaterally delay a general election under any circumstances ?
” To which Barrett replied , “ Well , Senator , if that question ever came before me , I would need to hear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and consult with my law clerks and talk to my colleagues and go through the opinion-writing process.
” Now , I ’ m not a lawyer , and , as such , I hate having to give advice to a sitting Court of Appeals Judge , but the question of whether or not the Constitution gives the president of the United States the authority to unilaterally delay a general election under any circumstances is , “ No !
” This is not a question to ponder with your law clerks or hear arguments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ easy .
The answer is that nowhere in the Constitution is the president of the United States given the authority to delay a general election .
Period .
Just like , nowhere in the Constitution is the president of the United States given the authority to outlaw Christmas .
It ’ s just not there , and if a Supreme Court nominee is refusing to say otherwise , then I submit she has something to hide .
Naturally , the question of whether or not any POTUS has the authority to delay an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up had Donald Trump not suggested it in a tweet .
And I quote from a 30 July , 2020 Donald Trump tweet : Article II of the United States Constitution specifically gives the authority to set the date of a general election to Congress , not the president , but to Congress , and a federal law passed in 1845 fixed that date as the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November .
Any nominee for the Supreme Court who doesn ’ t know that should be instantly disqualified .
Any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she doesn ’ t know that should likewise be instantly disqualified .
Either way , Judge Barrett has disqualified herself .
While we ’ re in the neighborhood , the Twentieth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States also says this : “ Section 1 .
The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January … ” I can ’ t help but wonder if Judge Barrett was also handpicked by Donald Trump and his White House of pirates and conmen because her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Constitution .
Three years out of law school Amy Coney Barrett joined the legal team that oversaw the handing over of the presidency to George W. Bush when they put a stop to the vote recount effort in Florida .
Her career began with the auspicious usurpation of the power of Americans to lawfully choose their president .
It can not come as a surprise to anyone that she ’ s still on that mission today , provided , of course , that the president in question is Republican and supports @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may or may not do with her own body .
Trump picked Amy Coney Barrett to mollify his evangelical base , to overturn the Affordable Care Act and because he hopes she supports the notion that he can tinker with the 2020 election .
That is why Barrett is a toxic choice and that is why she is being picked at precisely this time .
There are a million reasons why Donald Trump is unfit to be president of the United States , this has been another one .
Only we can stop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s up to us , so vote .
And , as ever , ladies and gentlemen , brothers and sisters , comrades and friends , stay safe .

Naturally, the question of whether or not any POTUS has the authority to delay an election wouldn’t normally even come up had Donald Trump not suggested it in a tweet. And I quote from a 30 July, 2020 Donald Trump tweet:
“With Universal Mail-in Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???”
Article II of the United States Constitution specifically gives the authority to set the date of a general election to Congress, not the president, but to Congress, and a federal law passed in 1845 fixed that date as the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

It cannot come as a surprise to anyone that she’s still on that mission today, provided, of course, that the president in question is Republican and supports her private notions about what a woman may or may not do with her own body.
Trump picked Amy Coney Barrett to mollify his evangelical base, to overturn the Affordable Care Act and because he hopes she supports the notion that he can tinker with the 2020 election. That is why Barrett is a toxic choice and that is why she is being picked at precisely this time.
There are a million reasons why Donald Trump is unfit to be president of the United States, this has been another one. Only we can stop this monster from destroying America. It’s up to us, so vote. And, as ever, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, comrades and friends, stay safe.

Donald Trump is setting himself on fire

Donald Trump ’ s catastrophically failed reign has led to hundreds of thousands of dead Americans , a broken economy , and a total mess .

So it ’ s perhaps darkly fitting that Trump seems intent on ending this by setting himself on fire .
Trump is now holding rallies in multiple states , despite clearly being too sick and weak to pull it off .
He appears to be abusing steroids just to make it through the day , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ care that it ’ ll end up killing him .
He ’ s exposing his own voters to coronavirus , meaning some of them will be too sick ( or dead ) to vote by election day , and again he doesn ’ t understand or doesn ’ t care .
He ’ s tweeting insults at the senior citizen voters he needs to win over the most , because he ’ s just that far gone .
Donald Trump is setting himself on fire right in front of our eyes .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ automatically lose ; it just means that he ’ s ( wittingly or unwittingly ) trying to lose .
It ’ s still up to us to work hard on voter turnout and make sure we run up the score , to overcome all the chaos and variables floating around .

– We don’t spend enough time talking about people who stupidly vote against their own interests, and how all of this corruption and destruction is only possible because of them.

palmerreport--2020-10-15--Donald Trump has surreal late night meltdown as it all goes wrong for him

Donald Trump and his allies took their big swing on Wednesday when they rolled out a New York Post article which used laughably suspect evidence to make false claims about Joe Biden , Hunter Biden , and Ukraine .
The whole thing failed so badly , Twitter ended up banning the article entirely , and the stunt surely didn ’ t gain Trump a single vote .
By midnight , Trump had just about had it .
He posted this thoroughly frustrated tweet as everything was unraveling for him : “ I ’ ve gone through years of a Fake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and now it ’ s revealed that it was a Hoax by the “ other side ” , which must pay a price for what they did .
Think of where we ’ d be now without Fake & Fraudulent stories every night , for years !

Barr tried and failed to install Trump ’ s guy at the SDNY .
Barr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intel community was a dud .
And now Barr ’ s probe into the Obama administration “ unmasking ” scandal has also officially gone nowhere .
Donald Trump seems to finally be figuring out that Bill Barr has been selling him a bill of goods all along .

But Trump is clearly so frustrated by Barr ’ s inability to carry out his evil agenda , Trump is now openly talking about getting rid of Barr .

Just how bad of a day has Rudy Giuliani been having? Not only did his big attempt at promoting the Hunter Biden scandal go nowhere, the phony New York Post article in question got blacklisted from social media. Now that it’s all gone horribly wrong for him, Rudy is panicking, and he just made a huge mistake.
Rudy Giuliani (or perhaps his equally panicked handlers) mistakenly uploaded a video to YouTube this evening which featured Rudy making fun of Asian people while he apparently didn’t know the camera was on him. The video wasn’t up for all that long, but the Daily Beast managed to capture the whole thing.
This fits with Rudy Giuliani’s usual pattern of doing something that’s both offensive and idiotic, and merely ends up making him look bad, while having none of the impact that he intended. As a reminder, Rudy is the personal attorney to the President of the United States, which serves as a reminder of just how inept the President of the United States is.

In the past several days since Donald Trump left the hospital , we ’ ve seen a pattern in which he ’ s so weak he can barely even walk up a flight of stairs , but then when he goes to give a campaign speech he ’ s suddenly full of energy and dancing around .
Even if the bandages on the back of his hand weren ’ t a dead giveaway , it ’ s been clear that he ’ s been taking injections to keep him upright during his speeches .
But there ’ s only so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either build up a tolerance or your organs explode , and it appears Trump may have finally hit the end of his performance enhancement drug cycle today .
During his speech in Iowa tonight , Trump seemed lifeless , stumbled his way through the speech , slurred some of his words , got strangely agitated over his necktie , and failed several times in a row to say “ Burisma.
” So is Trump off the steroids now ?
Is he tapering down ?
Did he finally reach the point where even the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him off ?
Keep an eye on Trump ’ s next few public appearances ; if he really is tapering off performance enhancing drugs , he ’ ll continue to become more lethargic .

October surprise!

We all keep expecting the scheming Donald Trump campaign to drop a dastardly October surprise on us , in the hope of climbing back into contention in the election .
But we ’ re now nearly halfway through October , and thus far everything Trump and his people have thrown at the wall has been a total dud .
Yesterday it was revealed that Bill Barr ’ s long running probe into the “ unmasking ” of Michael Flynn has resulted in no criminal charges against any Obama officials , and not even a report documenting any supposed wrongdoing .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the “ unmasking ” conspiracy theory , and yet it ’ s officially gotten him nowhere .
It ’ s yet another reminder that Bill Barr is quite an ineffective henchmen .
Today Rudy Giuliani took his best swing at making the Hunter Biden scandal a thing , by feeding a false story about it to the New York Post .

We all keep expecting the scheming Donald Trump campaign to drop a dastardly October surprise on us, in the hope of climbing back into contention in the election. But we’re now nearly halfway through October, and thus far everything Trump and his people have thrown at the wall has been a total dud.
Yesterday it was revealed that Bill Barr’s long running probe into the “unmasking” of Michael Flynn has resulted in no criminal charges against any Obama officials, and not even a report documenting any supposed wrongdoing. Donald Trump spent a long time pushing the “unmasking” conspiracy theory, and yet it’s officially gotten him nowhere. It’s yet another reminder that Bill Barr is quite an ineffective henchmen.
Today Rudy Giuliani took his best swing at making the Hunter Biden scandal a thing, by feeding a false story about it to the New York Post. The whole thing imploded almost immediately, to the point that Twitter ended up banning people from even being able to post the phony story.
Thus far the “October surprise” is that Donald Trump and his idiot henchmen can’t seem to pull one off. There are still twenty days to go until the election, and Trump’s band of goons will surely keep trying. But if what we’re seeing right now was Plan A, we can’t wait to see how massively incompetent their Plan B is.

During her show last night , Rachel Maddow seemed to imply that she was unhappy about the move , without actually saying it .
Tonight she took a dump all over it .
Immediately after Trump ’ s town hall ended , Rachel Maddow ’ s show began .
She opened her show by stating that “ What you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ News .

In particular Maddow harped on something that Palmer Report also flagged as being important , which was that Trump now claims he doesn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus on the day of the debate .

palmerreport--2020-10-16--Donald Trump melts down when asked who he owes the $421 million to

If you ’ re not watching Donald Trump ’ s NBC town hall tonight , you ’ re not missing anything .
Trump and host Savannah Guthrie have spent most of the time angrily yelling at each other .
Trump has given embarrassingly incoherent answers about things like Q-anon and whether he was tested for coronavirus on the day of the debate .
But then Guthrie asked Trump who he owes the $ 421 million to .
Trump went on a defensive , angry , shouting rant in response .
Trump kept insisting that his debt doesn ’ t matter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” We think he meant to say under leveraged , but he must have said “ under levered ” at least five times in a row .
Trump just couldn ’ t stop ranting about how the people who leaked his tax returns must go to prison for it ( the New York Times says it obtained them legally ) .
Trump then began accusing Hillary Clinton and Russia of conspiring against him , as part of his explanation for why he was unwilling to say who he owes the $ 421 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even asked about Russia , Trump appears to have just defensively given away that he owes the money to Russia .
Meanwhile , Joe Biden is nailing it over on ABC News .

Donald Trump and the NBC town hall host angrily yell at each other, as Joe Biden sounds presidential on ABC

Within the first five minutes of Donald Trump ’ s sham of a town hall tonight , he claimed that he doesn ’ t know if he was tested for coronavirus on the day of the debate , and that he doesn ’ t know what the infection was in his lungs .
That was bad enough .

Even as Joe Biden is sounding presidential as usual during his ABC News town hall , NBC News is shamefully holding an illegitimate town hall with Donald Trump at the same time .
Hopefully all of you are watching Biden and boosting his ratings .
But we ’ re keeping an eye on Trump ’ s debacle , and let ’ s just say that it ’ s going poorly for him .
Trump is now claiming that he somehow doesn ’ t know if he took a coronavirus test on the day of the debate .
He also admitted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ every day , as his White House has long claimed .
Trump then admitted that doctors told him he had an infection in his lungs , but claimed not to know what the infection was , even though he somehow knows it ’ s not pneumonic .
Trump then claimed that a new study says 85 % of the people who wear masks end up catching coronavirus , at which point host Savannah Guthrie laughed at him and pointed out that the study does not say that .
Trump then struggled to respond @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now says he wishes he ’ d worn a mask .

palmerreport--2020-10-15--Confirmed: Donald Trump knew about Rudy Giuliani and the Kremlin all along

It ’ s hard to imagine that things could have gone any worse for Donald Trump when he had his allies roll out a fake New York Post story about Hunter Biden .
Not only did no one outside Trump ’ s base fall for it , Twitter went so far as to ban the article from being posted – a humiliating failure for Team Trump .
But now it has in fact gotten even uglier for him .
When you take a risky swing and miss like Trump just did , there ’ s always fallout from it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Post that the U.S. intel community warned Trump ten months ago that Rudy Giuliani was the “ target of an influence operation by Russian intelligence ” – and that Rudy was indeed working with Kremlin operatives to manufacture the phony Biden story .
We all know that if this scandal gets much hotter for Rudy Giuliani , Donald Trump will selfishly throw Rudy under the bus in an attempt at insulating himself .
But this news today will make it harder for Trump to do that , because now there ’ s proof @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rudy was a Kremlin asset all along .

palmerreport--2020-10-15--Donald Trump has bizarre meltdown about his own “fake” NBC town hall

Donald Trump ’ s NBC town hall tonight is one of the low points in the history of broadcast journalism .
After the second presidential debate was canceled because a sick and contagious Trump refused to do it remotely , Joe Biden set up a town hall with ABC .
Now NBC is shamefully rewarding Trump for his antics by also giving him a town hall , on the same night as Biden ’ s town hall , forcing voters to choose which one to watch .
NBC will pay a heavy price for this villainy , in terms of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already brewing .
But even as NBC is bending over backward to throw a dying Donald Trump a life raft , Trump is repaying NBC by attacking the network .
Trump tweeted this : I will be doing a major Fake @ NBCNews Town Hall Forum , live tonight from Miami , at 8:00 P.M .
They asked me to do it in place of the Rigged Steve Scully ( he is now suspended from @ cspan for lying ) Debate .
I wonder if they ’ ll treat me as well as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now Donald Trump is either calling NBC News “ fake ” or he ’ s calling his own town hall “ fake.
” Trump knows that he ’ s likely finished in this election unless he can find a way to completely shake up the landscape – and this tweet suggests that Trump is planning to behave like a complete lunatic tonight .
We ’ ll watch Trump ’ s dumpster fire and let you know how it goes , so you can watch the Joe Biden town hall instead .

Now NBC is shamefully rewarding Trump for his antics by also giving him a town hall, on the same night as Biden’s town hall, forcing voters to choose which one to watch.
NBC will pay a heavy price for this villainy, in terms of the resentment and advertiser boycotts that are already brewing. But even as NBC is bending over backward to throw a dying Donald Trump a life raft, Trump is repaying NBC by attacking the network. Trump tweeted this:
I will be doing a major Fake @NBCNews Town Hall Forum, live tonight from Miami, at 8:00 P.M. They asked me to do it in place of the Rigged Steve Scully (he is now suspended from @cspan for lying) Debate. I wonder if they’ll treat me as well as Sleepy Joe? They should!
So now Donald Trump is either calling NBC News “fake” or he’s calling his own town hall “fake.” Trump knows that he’s likely finished in this election unless he can find a way to completely shake up the landscape – and this tweet suggests that Trump is planning to behave like a complete lunatic tonight. We’ll watch Trump’s dumpster fire and let you know how it goes, so you can watch the Joe Biden town hall instead.

palmerreport--2020-10-15--GOP Senator Ben Sasse just gave something away about Donald Trump’s downfall

For the past few years we ’ ve seen Republican Senator Ben Sasse occasionally try to put on a good air of dignified leadership , only to then fall in line with Donald Trump every time .
After all , it ’ s Trump ’ s party , and Sasse is ambitious but he ’ s also a coward , and Sasse wanted to make sure he was still standing by the time Trump took his inevitable fall .
Now Ben Sasse is making clear that he thinks Trump ’ s downfall is upon us .
Sasse got on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week and accused Trump of kissing “ dictators ’ butts , ” selling out America ’ s allies , recklessly spending money , mistreating women , and other things .
While this was not a publicly broadcast conference call , it was the kind of call where Sasse had to know with certainty that his remarks would end up leaking – which means he wanted these remarks to leak .
So what is Ben Sasse doing ?
He clearly expects Donald Trump to lose with near 100 % certainty , because he ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outcast for the next four years if Trump were to win .
But it ’ s not about whether Sasse is correct in his expectation that Trump will lose ; that ’ ll come down to voter turnout .
What Sasse gave away is that GOP Senators like him were always going to selfishly sell Trump out if and when they concluded that he ’ s toast .
In fact Sasse is making a point of stomping on Trump ’ s political grave before the election even happens , because Sasse wants to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this and use it as supposed evidence that he was anti-Trump all along .
Ben Sasse deserves zero points for being a complicit coward for four years , only to turn against Trump three weeks before his presumptive election loss .
But it ’ s nonetheless a big deal that GOP Senators are in fact selfishly stabbing him in the back .
When it inevitably came down to it , they were always going to choose themselves over Trump .

Kamala Harris , who is sitting in on Amy Coney Barrett ’ s hearing virtually while on the campaign trail , weighed in on all of this during her appearance on MSNBC and she gave a blunt , yet reasonable and thoughtful analysis of the entire situation that we ’ ve come to expect from her .
While the GOP is determined to rule by chaos and misinformation , Sen. Harris offered a vision of a future where America ’ s leaders listen to the science when it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ change , and where the concerns of the American people will actually be addressed when it comes to reopening the economy .
She reminded host Rachel Maddow that Joe Biden not only had a plan to deal with COVID , but he tried to reach out to Donald Trump early on in the pandemic with his proposal – putting country over politics simply because it ’ s the right thing to do .
Trump chose to not take it seriously , even after catching the virus himself .
Fortunately , there ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the choice couldn ’ t be clearer – with only one political party taking the virus and its consequences for the nation seriously .
This is why we should vote as soon as we can and encourage everyone around us to vote for the Biden-Harris ticket and Democrats down the ballot by November 3 .
