palmerreport--2020-11-03--Twitter cracks down on Donald Trump after he has violent meltdown

Donald Trump has already murdered nearly a quarter million Americans in the pandemic , so what ’ s a few more bodies to him ?
That appears to be the approach that Trump is taking , on his way to a likely election loss .
Over the weekend he cheered on a caravan of thugs who ran a Biden campaign bus off the road .
Now Trump is ranting about violence on Twitter – but Twitter is cracking down on him .
Trump posted this very disturbing tweet this evening : “ The Supreme Court decision on voting in Pennsylvania @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will allow rampant and unchecked cheating and will undermine our entire systems of laws .
It will also induce violence in the streets .
Something must be done !
” We all know that Donald Trump isn ’ t just predicting violence ; he ’ s trying to incite it .
In any case , less than an hour after Trump posted the tweet , Twitter , cracked down , covering it up with this warning message : “ Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and ight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ civic process.
” You can still click through and see the tweet if you really want to , but it ’ s clear that Twitter isn ’ t afraid to take proper action against Trump as he unravels .
We hope Twitter steps up this kind of enforcement as Trump ’ s tweets become more unhinged and violent tomorrow night .

Donald Trump has already murdered nearly a quarter million Americans in the pandemic, so what’s a few more bodies to him? That appears to be the approach that Trump is taking, on his way to a likely election loss. Over the weekend he cheered on a caravan of thugs who ran a Biden campaign bus off the road. Now Trump is ranting about violence on Twitter – but Twitter is cracking down on him.
Trump posted this very disturbing tweet this evening: “The Supreme Court decision on voting in Pennsylvania is a VERY dangerous one. It will allow rampant and unchecked cheating and will undermine our entire systems of laws. It will also induce violence in the streets. Something must be done!”
We all know that Donald Trump isn’t just predicting violence; he’s trying to incite it. In any case, less than an hour after Trump posted the tweet, Twitter, cracked down, covering it up with this warning message: “Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and ight be misleading about an election or other civic process.”
You can still click through and see the tweet if you really want to, but it’s clear that Twitter isn’t afraid to take proper action against Trump as he unravels. We hope Twitter steps up this kind of enforcement as Trump’s tweets become more unhinged and violent tomorrow night.

palmerreport--2020-11-03--Joe Biden for the win

Joe Biden for the win

On this Election Eve , I find myself more anxious than I ’ ve ever been in my life about an election .
Joe Biden is our guy and has a commanding lead in the polls and has sparked record turnout across the country .
I was not a supporter in the beginning but came to see the big picture and voted for Biden in the primaries .
Something remarkable has happened since then .
As I have come to know him much better and with every speech and event , debate and news release , I came to appreciate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to know his amazing wife and learned his story .
I watched him engage his opponents immediately upon winning the nomination and proceed to add them one by one to his team .
It ’ s clear his administration will be filled with the best and the brightest and that he holds the people in high regard .
I can see that Biden sees himself not as a savior , though he may save us , but as a bridge to the future .
He already knows the lay of the land in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because he has always been decent and gracious to everyone .
I can see now that now is not the time for a neophyte .
We need an elder statesman , kind and connected , smart and knowledgeable and a brilliant and gracious First Lady like Jill .
At this moment , I feel nothing but love and gratitude for Joe and his family .
They will bring dignity and grace , honesty , common sense and compassion back into our government .
And as bruised and battered as we all are , @ @ @ @ @

Joe Biden is our guy and has a commanding lead in the polls and has sparked record turnout across the country. I was not a supporter in the beginning but came to see the big picture and voted for Biden in the primaries.
Something remarkable has happened since then. As I have come to know him much better and with every speech and event, debate and news release, I came to appreciate him more and more. I got to know his amazing wife and learned his story. I watched him engage his opponents immediately upon winning the nomination and proceed to add them one by one to his team. It’s clear his administration will be filled with the best and the brightest and that he holds the people in high regard.
I can see that Biden sees himself not as a savior, though he may save us, but as a bridge to the future. He already knows the lay of the land in Washington and has access to anyone there because he has always been decent and gracious to everyone. I can see now that now is not the time for a neophyte. We need an elder statesman, kind and connected, smart and knowledgeable and a brilliant and gracious First Lady like Jill.
At this moment, I feel nothing but love and gratitude for Joe and his family. They will bring dignity and grace, honesty, common sense and compassion back into our government. And as bruised and battered as we all are, we absolutely need that.


palmerreport--2020-11-03--Donald Trump’s closing message lands with a thud

Every candidate tries to deliver a closing message that sums up his or her candidacy and propels people to the polls .
Joe Biden ’ s closing message is about leadership , competence , patriotism , and repairing the damage and chaos that ’ s enveloped America these past four years .
Donald Trump ’ s closing message is… something different .
Last night Donald Trump vowed to fire the very popular Dr. Fauci after the election , and then left his supporters stranded after the rally without transportation for the third time in a week .
Then Trump went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all people .
Today he tweeted “ We have more Cases because we have more Testing !
” This isn ’ t a closing message for anyone but the too-small minority of people who are already in Donald Trump ’ s corner .
He ’ s spent these past four years doing nothing meaningful to try to expand his coalition , which is why his approval rating has always been low and his 2020 poll numbers have always been weak .
Now , with barely twenty-four hours left in this election , Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ court the additional voters he needs ; he seems intent on turning them off .
Even as Trump self destructs , our job is to spend these final hours voting , reminding and convincing others to vote , and doing everything we can to run up the score .

This isn’t a closing message for anyone but the too-small minority of people who are already in Donald Trump’s corner. He’s spent these past four years doing nothing meaningful to try to expand his coalition, which is why his approval rating has always been low and his 2020 poll numbers have always been weak.
Now, with barely twenty-four hours left in this election, Donald Trump isn’t just failing to court the additional voters he needs; he seems intent on turning them off. Even as Trump self destructs, our job is to spend these final hours voting, reminding and convincing others to vote, and doing everything we can to run up the score.

The devil is always in the details, and you can be sure the devil would be quite involved in a second Trump term.

Let ’ s just say that Trump isn ’ t taking the news well .

” In response , Donald Trump tweeted : “ This story is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But the ANTIFA Anarchists , Rioters and Looters , who have caused so much harm and destruction in Democrat run cities , are being seriously looked at !
” It ’ s not even clear what Trump thinks he ’ s disputing here .

The Democrats have won court rulings today in Texas, Nevada, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania. That’s right, we’ve won the same case in Texas two days in a row, yesterday in state court, today in federal court. This means the drive-through votes in Harris County will be counted.
I told you we would win most of these kinds of rulings, because the Republicans have literally no case in most instances. Some folks were worried about the court case in Texas in particular, because the federal judge assigned to the case has been iffy. But what people are overlooking is that when the GOP gets desperate and brings a laugh out loud non-case to court, it’s not going anywhere no matter who the judge is.
Even if one of these cases did get past a rogue judge, the appeals court would clean it up. Of all the things we need to worry about right now, the laughable GOP court filings aren’t among them. Now let’s get back to driving voter turnout.

Goodbye Donald Trump

Imagine for a moment if Biden supporters with huge Biden/Harris banners unfurled in the beds of their Ford F-series or Dodge Ram pickup trucks had tried to force a Trump campaign bus off the highway .
Imagine the counterfeit outrage that would spew forth from the tweeting phones of Donald Trump and his chinless dauphin .
Imagine how Fox News would howl for their blood and speak darkly of sinister Antifa plots .
One can almost hear Laura Ingraham ’ s fingernails-across-the-blackboard voice excoriating the pickup drivers .
And you can bet without even having to ask that Joe Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such dangerous , childish outrages against free speech — and they would do so unreservedly .
Instead , it was the other way around .
Republicans in pickup trucks festooned with Trump flags menaced and intimidated a Biden bus , at the instigation of Donald Trump Junior who told the pickup drivers to “ have some fun.
” Donald Trump Senior ’ s reaction ?
Trump retweeted a video of this deplorable , cowardly act of deliberate intimidation with the words “ I LOVE TEXAS !
” Meanwhile — crickets from Fox News @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and wrong and why , illustrated in a simple thought experiment , we know the difference and they don ’ t .
Because we know it ’ s wrong to bully and intimidate people who are exercising their Constitutional rights to promote a candidate of their choosing .
We also know that people who try to silence such lawful expressions using extra-legal means are not patriots , they are anti-American scum , who oppose the letter and the spirit of those very Constitutional freedoms that truly make America great .
Reaching for your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ makes you a traitor , not a patriot .
Donald Trump ’ s latest reaction ?
Here ’ s what he tweeted on November first at 8:18pm : “ In my opinion , these patriots did nothing wrong .
Instead , the FBI & Justice should be investigating the terrorists , anarchists , and agitators of ANTIFA , who run around burning down our Democrat run cities and hurting our people !
” Trump grants blanket absolution to the wrongdoers and then ( what else ? )
changes the subject according to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thugs in the trucks were not patriots .
They were there to frighten and intimidate and endanger lives at the bidding of this stochastic terrorist Donald Trump .
Meanwhile this coward Trump is ordering a non-scalable wall to be built around the entire White House complex .
This is why we must win .
Donald Trump has enlisted the worst among us to join him in a campaign of hatred and intimidation .
They are not interested in justice or democracy , they are only interested in power .
It is our sacred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to send them back to the moral sewers they crawled out of .
There are a million reasons why Donald Trump is unfit to be president of the United States , this has been another one .
If there ’ s any justice in the universe , on Tuesday we will send Donald Trump a clear and unmistakable message : We the People repudiate him .
We the People don ’ t want him .
We the People are the best part of America and we will prevail .
And , as ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sisters , comrades and friends , stay safe .

Trump retweeted a video of this deplorable, cowardly act of deliberate intimidation with the words “I LOVE TEXAS!” Meanwhile — crickets from Fox News.
Welcome to the world of right and wrong and why, illustrated in a simple thought experiment, we know the difference and they don’t. Because we know it’s wrong to bully and intimidate people who are exercising their Constitutional rights to promote a candidate of their choosing. We also know that people who try to silence such lawful expressions using extra-legal means are not patriots, they are anti-American scum, who oppose the letter and the spirit of those very Constitutional freedoms that truly make America great. Reaching for your Constitutionally-protected gun to silence Constitutionally-protected free speech makes you a traitor, not a patriot.
Donald Trump’s latest reaction? Here’s what he tweeted on November first at 8:18pm: “In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong. Instead, the FBI & Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists, and agitators of ANTIFA, who run around burning down our Democrat run cities and hurting our people!”
Trump grants blanket absolution to the wrongdoers and then (what else?) changes the subject according to the endlessly-thumbed Republican playbook of whataboutisms. The thugs in the trucks were not patriots. They were there to frighten and intimidate and endanger lives at the bidding of this stochastic terrorist Donald Trump. Meanwhile this coward Trump is ordering a non-scalable wall to be built around the entire White House complex.
This is why we must win. Donald Trump has enlisted the worst among us to join him in a campaign of hatred and intimidation. They are not interested in justice or democracy, they are only interested in power. It is our sacred duty to deny them that power and to send them back to the moral sewers they crawled out of.
There are a million reasons why Donald Trump is unfit to be president of the United States, this has been another one. If there’s any justice in the universe, on Tuesday we will send Donald Trump a clear and unmistakable message: We the People repudiate him. We the People don’t want him. We the People are the best part of America and we will prevail. And, as ever, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, comrades and friends, stay safe.

Stay calm , and be judicious about what you believe and share online .

Don’t make their jobs any easier. It may take awhile for the results to come in. That period of time is especially vulnerable to attack by foreign countries seeking to spread disinformation and undermine the legitimacy of our electoral process. Stay calm, and be judicious about what you believe and share online.”

palmerreport--2020-11-02--We have them running scared

We have them running scared

There is not much time left in one of the most important elections in modern history .
We have them running scared , and we can not stop .
In Georgia , Senatorial candidate Jon Ossoff took such a big bite out of David Purdue that Purdue canceled the final debate .
Purdue had no response to Ossoff ; his silence spoke volumes , and his tucking tail and running said even more .
The latest Quinnipac poll shows Ossoff slightly leading Purdue , and Reverend Raphael Warnock leading Kelly Loeffler , but neither is at 50 % , indicating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rather than losing hope , we must keep pounding away through November 3rd and beyond .
Georgia is in play .
The latest poll from Monmouth University shows Biden with a 5-point lead .
Losing Georgia would be a serious blow to Trump , who won it by 5 % over Hillary Clinton .
The long lines in Georgia continued through the final day of early voting , and MSN reported “ optimism ” and “ determination ” from Georgia voters , including one who drove from Washington , D.C.—626 miles—to Georgia to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , folks .
Gwinnett County , which was a Republican stronghold , boasted a 238 % increase in early voting .
Gwinnett is now one of the largest and most diverse counties in the state , and Business Insider reported that with mail-in ballots , the increase is 308 % .
Now representing 29 % of Gwinnett , Black voters came out in force , rivaled only by Hispanic residents , who now make up 22 % .
Once the fourth largest county in Georgia , Gwinnett is now second and expects to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ county in Georgia .
This phenomenon is not unique to Georgia .
The country overall is becoming more diverse , and that diversity brings a distaste for someone as divisive as Trump .
This no ordinary election .
If Biden does not prevail in this election , we will have four more years of a man who wants to wipe out Social Security while lining his pockets with $ 900,000 paid by the Secret Service and $ 2.5 million to Mar-a-Lago , according to the Washington Post .
By the time he is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seventh bankruptcy .
To make matters worse , Trump and his family repeatedly incite violence , like Don Jr. ’ s call for Trump supporters to “ .

get together , head down to McAllen and give Kamala Harris a nice Trump Train welcome .
Get out there , have some fun , enjoy it .

Let ’ s show them how strong Texas still is as Trump country .
Get out there , guys.
” Battle cries such as this caused the Biden campaign bus to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , forcing them to cancel a planned event in Austin , as reported by Daily Beast .
Trump showed his true colors by tweeting the video with the comment : “ I LOVE TEXAS !
” This is not who we are , and we are not going to stand for this unlawful behavior .
This intimidation is no more than cowardice .
Keep that in mind , and do not let these people keep you from exercising your Constitutional right .
Voting is even more important to stop this insanity .

Election Day is tomorrow. After four years of a grueling and brutal fight to keep American democracy safe from a psychotic criminal, we’re nearly at the finish line. By every possible election metric, we’re winning. We’re way up in the polls. We have the edge in the swing states. We’re organized. We have momentum.
But there’s still some work to do – and none of it involves watching television. We can do that after the polls close on Tuesday night. Between now and then, we have to put all of our time and effort into getting this victory across the finish line. Make a plan to vote, if you haven’t already. Take friends with you. Call your friends and family in swing states and remind them to vote. Volunteer to phone bank in swing states. If you’re only going to spend one day of your life doing political volunteer work, today and/or tomorrow is it.
Let’s leave it all on the field. I don’t believe in optimism, but I believe in evidence – and the evidence overwhelmingly says that we’re going to win.

palmerreport--2020-11-02--Don’t mistake what Donald Trump is doing here

On Sunday morning , Trump surrogate Jason Miller announced on television that Donald Trump ’ s plan would be to declare victory on election night – no matter the results – and then try to get the courts to side with him .
Later on Sunday , Axios reported the same thing .
None of this should come as a surprise .
Nor should you misinterpret what it means .
If any of Donald Trump ’ s evil plans had worked up to this point , he wouldn ’ t be in this situation .
The fake scandals he created @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as if they were real .
He ’ d be even , or ahead , in the polls .
He wouldn ’ t be backed into a corner where he knows he ’ s about to lose badly , and be reduced to having to beg for millions of ballots to somehow be invalidated .
The thing is , Donald Trump has to falsely declare victory on election night .
It ’ s his only remaining play .
If he loses , he goes to prison , his assets are seized , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he knows it .
So he has to make the desperate and frankly embarrassing move of declaring victory , and hoping that it somehow magically gets him out of the hole he ’ s in .
It won ’ t , because if he loses in a blowout , there ’ s no magically saving him ; nothing works in such childlike simplistic fashion .
So don ’ t mistake Donald Trump ’ s desperation for some kind of evil genius plan .
This is a man whose life is over , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out in a desperate and embarrassing manner .
Circumstances are forcing him to humiliatingly go down in history as the clown who falsely declared victory on his way to a blowout loss .
He won ’ t just forever be remembered as a villain ; he ’ l be remembered as a pathetic joke .
Desperate panic moves do not equate to somehow suddenly winning .
Nothing works that way .
If you spend election night cowering in fear to Donald Trump ’ s embarrassing endgame , then you ’ ll only be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t have .
Stand strong .
We ’ ve worked four years to get to this point .
We ’ re heading into election day in just about the best situation we could be in : a large lead , organized and mobilized , united , and victory nearly in hand .
Now is not a time to start cowering to a desperate dying man ’ s last gasps .

Later on Sunday, Axios reported the same thing. None of this should come as a surprise. Nor should you misinterpret what it means.
If any of Donald Trump’s evil plans had worked up to this point, he wouldn’t be in this situation. The fake scandals he created would be dominating the headlines right now, as if they were real. He’d be even, or ahead, in the polls. He wouldn’t be backed into a corner where he knows he’s about to lose badly, and be reduced to having to beg for millions of ballots to somehow be invalidated.
The thing is, Donald Trump has to falsely declare victory on election night. It’s his only remaining play. If he loses, he goes to prison, his assets are seized, and his life is over – and he knows it. So he has to make the desperate and frankly embarrassing move of declaring victory, and hoping that it somehow magically gets him out of the hole he’s in. It won’t, because if he loses in a blowout, there’s no magically saving him; nothing works in such childlike simplistic fashion.
So don’t mistake Donald Trump’s desperation for some kind of evil genius plan. This is a man whose life is over, and who has no choice but to go out in a desperate and embarrassing manner. Circumstances are forcing him to humiliatingly go down in history as the clown who falsely declared victory on his way to a blowout loss. He won’t just forever be remembered as a villain; he’l be remembered as a pathetic joke.
Desperate panic moves do not equate to somehow suddenly winning. Nothing works that way. If you spend election night cowering in fear to Donald Trump’s embarrassing endgame, then you’ll only be giving him leverage that he doesn’t have. Stand strong. We’ve worked four years to get to this point. We’re heading into election day in just about the best situation we could be in: a large lead, organized and mobilized, united, and victory nearly in hand.

palmerreport--2020-11-02--Donald Trump begins building a fortress around the White House in case he loses

We ’ ve already seen Donald Trump hide in the White House basement while massive fencing was built around the building , a reminder of just how weak and petrified he is .
Now that he ’ s just days away from likely losing the election , perhaps we shouldn ’ t be surprised that he now appears to be building an even more elaborate fortress around the White House .
NBC ’ s Geoff Bennett says that starting on Monday , “ crews will build a “ non-scalable ” fence to secure the WH complex , Ellipse and Lafayette @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He ’ s literally walling himself in , in case he loses .
This shows just how much he fears what comes next .
It also suggests that he ’ s become so paranoid , he ’ s lost all touch with reality .
For starters , even if Donald Trump loses the election , he ’ ll still be President until late January .
He ’ s barricading himself inside the building three months before he ’ ll have to leave it .
Also , this isn ’ t real estate .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s rights .
If he just sits in the White House until January and refuses to leave , Joe Biden will be sworn in on the Capitol steps anyway , and Trump will just be a schmuck who ’ s trespassing in the White House .
In any case , this all just keeps getting dumber .

We’ve already seen Donald Trump hide in the White House basement while massive fencing was built around the building, a reminder of just how weak and petrified he is. Now that he’s just days away from likely losing the election, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that he now appears to be building an even more elaborate fortress around the White House.
NBC’s Geoff Bennett says that starting on Monday, “crews will build a “non-scalable” fence to secure the WH complex, Ellipse and Lafayette Square.” That’s cute. He’s literally walling himself in, in case he loses. This shows just how much he fears what comes next. It also suggests that he’s become so paranoid, he’s lost all touch with reality.
For starters, even if Donald Trump loses the election, he’ll still be President until late January. He’s barricading himself inside the building three months before he’ll have to leave it. Also, this isn’t real estate. Trump doesn’t have squatter’s rights. If he just sits in the White House until January and refuses to leave, Joe Biden will be sworn in on the Capitol steps anyway, and Trump will just be a schmuck who’s trespassing in the White House. In any case, this all just keeps getting dumber.

palmerreport--2020-11-03--So that was unusual

So that was unusual

By the time today is over , we ’ ll start to find out just how right or wrong the 2020 polls were .
Joe Biden enters election day with a national lead of eight to ten points ( depending on how you calculate the averages ) , a lead in most swing states , a significant lead in a few swing states , and even a small lead in some red states .
Even if the polling is off in 2020 by the same amount that it was off by in 2016 , it ’ ll still give Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all have to go out and vote today , but if we finish this right , Biden should win .
The polls can be wrong , but they ’ re never this wrong .
Here ’ s the crazy part though .
The national polls right now look a lot like they did a month ago , three months ago , six months ago , and even a year ago .
The final Biden vs Trump polling averages are about the same as they were back when this election cycle was first starting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matchup was being polled .
All the crazy , shocking , earth shifting things that happened , and none of it moved the needle in either direction .
During the course of this election cycle we had an impeachment , a pandemic , civil unrest , an elaborate phony scandal about one candidate ’ s son , a sitting President catching a plague , nearly a quarter million Americans dead… and none of it seemed to change anyone ’ s mind .
The polls have been about the same the entire time .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ cycle , let alone the most chaotic election cycle we ’ ve ever had .
Compare this to four years ago , when the polling averages jumped around constantly at any whiff of news or scandal .
Perhaps it ’ s because last time no one really knew what to make of Donald Trump and they kept changing their minds , but this time everyone knows exactly who and what Trump is .
A disturbing minority of Americans have decided they like the hellscape that Trump has created , but fortunately a far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden to step in and fix the damage that Trump has done .

The tiny township of Dixville Notch has kicked off Election Day at the stroke of midnight, with just five people voting. The results are merely symbolic and they don’t tend to be particularly predictive. But in what is nonetheless a fascinating development, Joe Biden has gotten 100% of the vote there.
Notably, this included one lifelong Republican who made a point of voting for Joe Biden as a way of repudiating what the Republican Party has turned into. This same voter appears to have split his ticket, voting to reelect the Republican Governor of New Hampshire.
For comparison, Hillary Clinton won Dixville Notch in 2016 by a 4-2 margin over Donald Trump, and we know how that election went. But as the fictional West Wing once explained, the results from places like Dixville Notch end up being the only Election Day votes already announced while everyone else is out voting – and in this case a headline like Joe Biden unanimously winning in Dixville Notch can’t hurt.

palmerreport--2020-11-03--A final word to the undecided voter

A final word to the undecided voter

Sean Connery ’ s death presented Donald Trump with an opportunity to expose two of his most important and disturbing character flaws in a single tweet .
Trump claimed that Connery once helped him with a “ big development in Scotland.
” That turned out to be a lie .
Trump is a liar and he lies all the time .
That ’ s character flaw number one .
Character flaw number two is Trump had to make Connery ’ s death all about himself .
In a way , that ’ s the biggest , scariest flaw of all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It reveals that even when someone dies Trump needs to steal a piece of them on their way to the graveyard , steal it and ultimately make it all about himself .
In fact , in her book “ Too Much and Never Enough , ” by Donald Trump ’ s niece Mary L Trump , she recalls the time when Donald Trump was called upon to give his father ’ s eulogy .
In very short order Donald stopped talking about his father Fred and started talking about himself .
The “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extolling how great he , Donald , is , and how brilliant he , Donald , is .
Fred got lost and left behind .
Now , I address this little composition of mine to the Undecided Voter , and if that ’ s you , you may be wondering what these character flaws have to do with Trump ’ s performance as president of the United States .
I ’ m hoping to convince you they have everything to do with Trump ’ s performance as president of the United States , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s lying and his driving need to make everything about himself are two character flaws I know a little something about .
They ’ re warning signs of a disorder called Narcissistic Personality Disorder .
I ’ ve had the misfortune of being intimately involved with two persons in my life who suffered from this disorder and I can tell you from direct experience that it never ends well .
The NPD never does anything ultimately for others .
They only ever do anything with the goal of personal enrichment or personal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ benefits from the narcissist ’ s actions then that is pure luck .
Unless ( and herein is the biggest problem of all ) the kind of narcissism they have is the malignant kind .
In that case there can only ever be one winner .
And that winner has to be the narcissist himself .
Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist .
He hates seeing other people do well .
He ’ s only happy when he wins .
He literally is a zero sum gamesman .
He doesn ’ t even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also come out ahead .
People on his team can go ahead and die as far as Trump is concerned .
The thing , the only thing that matters , is Trump wins .
That ’ s it .
Anyone else winning is a direct threat to himself .
Think about it yourself .
Trump survived coronavirus .
That was good enough for him .
But Trump ’ s “ friend ” ( narcissists don ’ t have real friends ) Herman Cain died of coronavirus .
In fact , Cain probably got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tulsa , Oklahoma .
Trump couldn ’ t care less .
He made absolutely no effort to make his rallies any safer after Herman Cain died .
They remain super spreader events to this day , and it ’ s estimated that Trump ’ s rallies have infected tens of thousands of people and caused hundreds of deaths already .
Again , Trump couldn ’ t care less .
Trump probably doesn ’ t even think in terms of all those deaths being worth it in exchange for his self-aggrandising vision his re-election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no thought at all because they have no bearing on him and his greatness .
He certainly can ’ t be bothered to regret the people he ’ s killed and the lives of the loved ones he ’ s destroyed .
That ’ s just not in his playbook at all .
That would take self-reflection and Trump doesn ’ t self reflect .
He just needs , and that need must be fed more and more and more and more .
America is very lucky ( so far ) that Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a situation that escalated into nuclear conflict .
Because if he did , Trump would make his calculations not about the best way to keep the world safe , but about what outcome would make him look the most powerful and heroic .
Outcomes that include millions of deaths may be among his options if he thinks it will make him look like a hero .
If millions die because of his actions he won ’ t waste a single thought on them .
They ’ d be annoying statistics some member of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bring up from time to time , until he accused them of being criminals for even mentioning it .
This is why Trump ignores coronavirus .
He ’ s already calculated that a few hundred thousand dead Americans are perfectly okay with him , as long as he looks strong to enough stupid people to keep him in power .
Again , it ’ s all about him , because that ’ s all it can ever be .
All about him .
That ’ s how the malignant narcissist works .
Do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power for four more years ?
This is a time when voting for anybody else is actually better than voting for Donald Trump .
If your next door neighbor was the candidate , or the guy who collects shopping carts in the parking lot at your local supermarket , or your dog , were the only alternatives on the ballot , they ’ d be better choices than Trump .
I think the alternative , Joe Biden , is a pretty good choice .
But even if you don ’ t , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ choice than Trump .
Because everybody is .
So please , Undecided Voter , do the right thing .
Vote Biden and Harris .
And , as ever , ladies and gentlemen , brothers and sisters , comrades and friends , stay safe and vote .

Character flaw number two is Trump had to make Connery’s death all about himself. In a way, that’s the biggest, scariest flaw of all of Trump’s many flaws. It reveals that even when someone dies Trump needs to steal a piece of them on their way to the graveyard, steal it and ultimately make it all about himself.
In fact, in her book “Too Much and Never Enough,” by Donald Trump’s niece Mary L Trump, she recalls the time when Donald Trump was called upon to give his father’s eulogy. In very short order Donald stopped talking about his father Fred and started talking about himself. The “eulogy” turned into a self-congratulatory marathon extolling how great he, Donald, is, and how brilliant he, Donald, is. Fred got lost and left behind.
Now, I address this little composition of mine to the Undecided Voter, and if that’s you, you may be wondering what these character flaws have to do with Trump’s performance as president of the United States. I’m hoping to convince you they have everything to do with Trump’s performance as president of the United States, and here’s why.

They’re warning signs of a disorder called Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I’ve had the misfortune of being intimately involved with two persons in my life who suffered from this disorder and I can tell you from direct experience that it never ends well. The NPD never does anything ultimately for others. They only ever do anything with the goal of personal enrichment or personal aggrandisement in view.
If someone else benefits from the narcissist’s actions then that is pure luck. Unless (and herein is the biggest problem of all) the kind of narcissism they have is the malignant kind. In that case there can only ever be one winner. And that winner has to be the narcissist himself.
Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist. He hates seeing other people do well. He’s only happy when he wins. He literally is a zero sum gamesman.

Again, Trump couldn’t care less.
Trump probably doesn’t even think in terms of all those deaths being worth it in exchange for his self-aggrandising vision his re-election will bring. He simply gives them no thought at all because they have no bearing on him and his greatness. He certainly can’t be bothered to regret the people he’s killed and the lives of the loved ones he’s destroyed. That’s just not in his playbook at all. That would take self-reflection and Trump doesn’t self reflect. He just needs, and that need must be fed more and more and more and more.
America is very lucky (so far) that Donald Trump hasn’t embroiled her in a situation that escalated into nuclear conflict. Because if he did, Trump would make his calculations not about the best way to keep the world safe, but about what outcome would make him look the most powerful and heroic. Outcomes that include millions of deaths may be among his options if he thinks it will make him look like a hero. If millions die because of his actions he won’t waste a single thought on them. They’d be annoying statistics some member of the “fake news media” would bring up from time to time, until he accused them of being criminals for even mentioning it.
This is why Trump ignores coronavirus. He’s already calculated that a few hundred thousand dead Americans are perfectly okay with him, as long as he looks strong to enough stupid people to keep him in power. Again, it’s all about him, because that’s all it can ever be. All about him. That’s how the malignant narcissist works. Do you really want someone like him in power for four more years?
This is a time when voting for anybody else is actually better than voting for Donald Trump. If your next door neighbor was the candidate, or the guy who collects shopping carts in the parking lot at your local supermarket, or your dog, were the only alternatives on the ballot, they’d be better choices than Trump.
I think the alternative, Joe Biden, is a pretty good choice. But even if you don’t, I guarantee you he’s a better choice than Trump. Because everybody is. So please, Undecided Voter, do the right thing. Vote Biden and Harris. And, as ever, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, comrades and friends, stay safe and vote.

We saw plenty of big surprises in and around October, to be sure. Trump’s tax returns suddenly surfaced. Trump caught coronavirus.

Last time around we had the big October surprise in the form of James Comey’s letter, but nothing like that happened this time.

This election has already seen roughly a hundred million Americans voting early. But at the stroke of midnight it’ll officially be Election Day, and that means the tiny town of Dixville Notch is about to do its traditional post-midnight voting.
It turns out the first person in the nation set to cast a vote is a guy named Les Otten. He’s a lifelong Republican, but he says he’s voting for Joe Biden:
That’s not particularly surprising. The Republican Party has completely unraveled in recent years, as Donald Trump has turned the GOP into a corrupt extremist lawless cesspool, and Republican leaders have eagerly gone along with him, while driving the country into the ground. It’s time for Joe Biden to put this nation back together.

Some of the charges aren ’ t even really in the “ potential ” category anymore , considering a widely documented New York @ @ @ @ @ @ @ process of indicting him on financial crimes – and Trump can ’ t pardon state charges .

Nearly everything Trump has done for the past few years , from conspiring with Ukraine to try to rig his own reelection to trying to prevent New York from getting his tax returns , has been motivated by his fear that he ’ ll go to prison if he loses .
Now the media is finally talking about it .

Donald Trump keeps threatening to falsely declare victory on Tuesday night, even if there’s no indication that he’s winning or will win, and hope that doing so will somehow magically hand him the election result. Here’s the thing: nothing works that way, as Rachel Maddow just thoroughly spelled out.
Maddow used her MSNBC show tonight to point to historical examples of people arbitrarily declaring themselves the “winner” of things, from sporting events to the lottery, only to end up being thoroughly humiliated for it. As Maddow explained, simply declaring something doesn’t make it so, and if Trump tries such a stunt, it won’t get him anywhere.
Rachel Maddow will be one of the MSNBC anchors on election night, so it’s good to know where she and her colleagues stand when it comes to shutting Trump down if he tries anything tomorrow night.

In a December 2015 interview with the Washington Post , then-candidate Donald Trump boasted , “ I ’ ve been winning all my life… My whole life is about winning .
I always win.
” As Trump is now losing his reelection bid to Joe Biden , who is amassing more votes than any candidate in history , he doesn ’ t even have a winning strategy for exiting gracefully .

Eric Trump retweeted a video yesterday afternoon ( originally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been suspended ) , warning : “ Burning 80 Trump Ballots ” in Virginia .
As you might guess , the whole thing is fake news .
Although the video appears to show an individual setting a bag of Virginia Beach ballots on fire , these ballots lack official bar code markings and are merely sample ballots , according to city investigators .
Even more pathetic , this lame conspiracy theory was already debunked on Tuesday—but that didn ’ t stop Trump ’ s hopelessly idiotic son from confidently trying to promote it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , hundreds of desperate Trump voters have tried conjuring up a weird new Sharpiegate scandal .
Their groundless claim is that poll workers instructed them ( and only them , apparently ) to use Sharpies instead of regular pens to vote , invalidating their ballots .
However , Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs assured the public yesterday that ballots with Sharpies don ’ t get invalidated .
Not only that , but the Maricopa County Elections Department had already posted a video on October 24 showing voters how to use Sharpies when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Christian televangelist and pastor Paula White-Cain , who has served as Trump ’ s failed spiritual advisor , led an over-the-top prayer service aimed at ensuring a Trump reelection victory through the shameless weaponization of religion .
The event kicked off with an embarrassing break in momentum , as the performers realized the wrong song was cued in the audience ’ s teleprompter .
White-Cain ’ s off-the-rails tirade was the fiery highlight of the nearly three hour service , which featured people wandering the stage without masks .
After shouting phrases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ times while gesticulating wildly , White-Cain warned of an army of angels being released to save Trump .
“ The angels are coming here in the name of Jesus from Africa !
” she cried .
She then called on these “ angelic reinforcements ” to expose people working “ at high levels ” with “ demonic confederacies and secrecies ” who are allegedly illegally interfering with a Trump win in six states ’ voter tallies .
None of these ridiculous efforts will help Trump secure a single additional vote for his reelection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a campaign that is flailing as it discovers what it means to lose bigly .
