Joe Biden tweeted heartfelt condolences to Donald Trump today on the loss of his brother. Donald Trump took a different tack, tweeting an embarrassing rant about how Fox News doesn’t cover him as favorably as it used to. Even as Trump was playing shill for another TV network that’s even worse than Fox News, Trump ended up getting bulldozed.
Congressman Eric Swalwell responded to Donald Trump’s ridiculous tweet and added this: “The Postal Service is not delivering vets their prescriptions. Thousands of Iowans are without power and shelter. Russia is interfering in elections. Oh, and there’s still a goddamned pandemic that’s killed over 160,000. But sorry about your cable issues.”
Meanwhile Donald Trump is still ranting and raving over nonsense. He ended up retweeting Mike Pence’s bizarre false claim that Kamala Harris is trying to make it harder for people to eat red meat. Trump and his goons aren’t within a million miles of being based in reality.

palmerreport--2020-08-18--Donald Trump has completely psychotic meltdown as Democratic National Convention stomps all over him

You know that thing Donald Trump does when he wants attention but he ’ s not getting it ?
It ’ s like when a two year old throws a tantrum , but less mature .
Trump is doing that right now tonight , because all the attention is on the 2020 Democratic National Convention , where speakers ranging from far-left progressives to conservative Republicans are speaking in support of Joe Biden .
For instance , Trump has just posted five tweets in a row bashing New York Governor Andrew Cuomo , who gave a powerful speech at tonight ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a completely unhinged Lindsey Graham five times in a row .
Trump also attacked MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace for reasons that still aren ’ t clear .
The point is that the whiny little baby Donald Trump is throwing himself a pity party because all the cool people are off watching the Democratic National Convention tonight .
Trump doesn ’ t get to control the narrative , and that leaves him flustered and unsure how to respond , because all bullies are weaklings at heart .
Notably , Donald Trump still has yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dropped a graceful but devastating speech on his head .
Trump is probably quite afraid of her .

Trump is doing that right now tonight, because all the attention is on the 2020 Democratic National Convention, where speakers ranging from far-left progressives to conservative Republicans are speaking in support of Joe Biden.
For instance, Trump has just posted five tweets in a row bashing New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who gave a powerful speech at tonight’s convention. Before that Trump retweeted a completely unhinged Lindsey Graham five times in a row. Trump also attacked MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace for reasons that still aren’t clear.
The point is that the whiny little baby Donald Trump is throwing himself a pity party because all the cool people are off watching the Democratic National Convention tonight. Trump doesn’t get to control the narrative, and that leaves him flustered and unsure how to respond, because all bullies are weaklings at heart.
Notably, Donald Trump still has yet to attack Michelle Obama, after she dropped a graceful but devastating speech on his head. Trump is probably quite afraid of her.

palmerreport--2020-08-18--Michelle Obama just brought down the house

The first night of the Democratic National Convention saw a number of impressive speakers from across the political spectrum , breathing life into the virtual convention .
But then First Lady Michelle Obama came along at the end of the night and blew everyone out of the water with a speech that we ’ ll all be quoting for quite some time .
Michelle Obama made a point of emphasizing that she still believes in her 2016 catch phrase “ When they go low , we go high.
” But that didn ’ t stop her from eloquently and gracefully @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t fit to be President of the United States .
She said that Trump is “ clearly in over his head ” because “ you simply can not fake your way through this job.
” Then she dropped the bomb on him .
Michelle Obama used Donald Trump ’ s own recent infamous line against him when she said that Trump “ simply can not be who we need him to be for us .
It is what it is.
” It was a moment that ’ s going to resonate , from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be forgotten .
Michelle Obama explained that she knows Joe Biden personally , she worked alongside him for eight years , and she knows first-hand that he has what it takes to be President of the United States .

palmerreport--2020-08-18--Rain on Donald Trump’s parade

Rain on Donald Trump’s parade

Trump can have all the boat parades he wants but it still won ’ t add up to winning .
Boating is a popular pastime so it ’ s not hard to gather a Trumpster armada to look like a big showing .
Additionally , these are the same folks who ’ d be crushed together in a rally ; they ’ re just substituting these floating embarrassments instead .
To see their Trump flags flying above the American flag is equally instructional .
These people don ’ t revere our flag , nor Jesus , nor anything else of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cult and will be around whatever happens in November .
Be comforted , this does not add up to votes .
But do not rest on the Biden laurels yet .
It ’ s still a long way to the election and as everyone knows , you can ’ t fix stupid .
Stupidity is also contagious , almost as contagious as corruption , and nobody loves contagion more than the Republican Party .
Hence the idiotic rebellion against wearing a mask .
We ’ ve got to keep our guard up and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to fight back against this rank-smelling administration .
When these boat rallies are presented , it ’ s nice to push back with a photo of a larger rally of cars in line for a food bank or a pile of pine coffins ready for mass burial .
Most Trumpsters won ’ t care til it happens to them .
And even then , the brainwashing is strong .
So instead , place your focus on the positive .
Get a Biden-Harris sign for your lawn and a bumper sticker for your car @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get to the voting booth .
Most importantly , speak out .
Don ’ t let these fools think they ’ re in the majority , because they are not .
Remind them of the old saying about boat ownership : “ The happiest day of my life was when I bought my boat .
The second happiest day of my life was when I sold my boat .

Be comforted, this does not add up to votes. But do not rest on the Biden laurels yet. It’s still a long way to the election and as everyone knows, you can’t fix stupid. Stupidity is also contagious, almost as contagious as corruption, and nobody loves contagion more than the Republican Party. Hence the idiotic rebellion against wearing a mask.
We’ve got to keep our guard up and use every single day until the election to fight back against this rank-smelling administration. When these boat rallies are presented, it’s nice to push back with a photo of a larger rally of cars in line for a food bank or a pile of pine coffins ready for mass burial. Most Trumpsters won’t care til it happens to them. And even then, the brainwashing is strong. So instead, place your focus on the positive. Get a Biden-Harris sign for your lawn and a bumper sticker for your car. Offer to drive those unable to get to the voting booth.
Most importantly, speak out. Don’t let these fools think they’re in the majority, because they are not. Remind them of the old saying about boat ownership: “The happiest day of my life was when I bought my boat. The second happiest day of my life was when I sold my boat.”

palmerreport--2020-08-19--Don Winslow just dropped the hammer on Mike Pence

Ever since Kamala Harris was revealed as Joe Biden ’ s pick for vice president , Mike Pence has been pushed into the spotlight again , with internet memes joking about how Pence will be eviscerated in the fall vice presidential debate against Harris .
It goes both ways though .
The Trump campaign has been heavily focused on attacking Biden ’ s decision to pick Harris even though it ’ s clear they have no idea how to go after her besides drumming up the usual racist nonsense , with a number of emails and online ads focusing on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign commercial produced by a group not affiliated with either campaign , Don Winslow Films , might make Pence wish that he stayed quiet in this fight – or at least that Trump would stop hailing him as a great running mate , amidst media speculation that Trump was ready to switch him out for another candidate .
The video wastes no time digging into both Mike and Karen Pence ’ s sordid history when it comes to LGBT rights in the United States – going all the way back to when Pence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ HIV-positive speakers , to his support of gay conversion therapy as governor of Indiana , and his wife Karen ’ s job at a private school that requires employees to sign a pledge against homosexuality .
In addition to being unflattering for Pence , the commercial serves as a reminder that the progress made in this movement has only happened recently , against staunch opposition – dealing with the likes of bigots such as the Pences .
A second term of this administration would only make their lives even harder .
As fun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harris stomp all over Pence and all the backwards ideals he stands for , we must remember that he is still a dangerous man in a dangerous position , and this is why we need to vote him out with Donald Trump on November 3 .

palmerreport--2020-08-19--Andrew Cuomo just bulldozed Donald Trump

A whole lot of prominent Democrats ( and a few prominent Republicans ) slammed Donald Trump last night during their Democratic National Convention speeches .
By all accounts , Michelle Obama ’ s speech was the most eloquent and effective of the bunch – to the point that Trump is still struggling with his response to her .
But the speech that evoked the most over-the-top reaction from Donald Trump came from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo .
Trump went into such a prolonged tailspin about Cuomo last night , at one point he ended up attacking Cuomo in five @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for his part , fired back at Donald Trump with this tweet : “ Advice to the President : 1 ) When you are in a hole stop digging .
The virus is real and spreading .
Do your job on COVID .
2 ) Stop lying .
You can ’ t play Americans for fools .
The truth is defeating you.
” We don ’ t expect Donald Trump to take the advice , but Governor Cuomo is certainly in position to give it .
Cuomo has managed to completely turn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , to the point that the daily death toll in the state is now in the single digits , even as Trump has negligently allowed coronavirus to spin completely out of control nationwide .

palmerreport--2020-08-18--Nancy Pelosi goes for the jugular after Trump’s Postmaster General Louis DeJoy caves

When Speaker Nancy Pelosi succeeded in pressuring Donald Trump ’ s Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to publicly testify about his Post Office sabotage scheme , it meant Pelosi and the Resistance had won the battle – because it meant DeJoy was going to have to keep caving .
Sure enough , DeJoy caved big-time today , agreeing to cease making any more changes to the Post Office before the election .
Of course this is the part where you really pounce .
With DeJoy now caving on everything in the hope of saving his own neck , he ’ ll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Post Office changes he ’ s made up to this point .
Nancy Pelosi is making it clear that she ’ s not letting him off the hook .
Pelosi tweeted this in response to the DeJoy news : “ Nice try , Postmaster General DeJoy , but the House will still be passing our bill to ensure the delivery of the mail through the election .
We will deliver for America by voting on Saturday.
” It ’ s clear that Pelosi is going for the jugular .
She ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s got him on the run , and now she ’ s going to keep hammering him until he caves on everything – or until he resigns and allows the Post Office to fall back into the hands of career Post Office officials .

palmerreport--2020-08-18--Donald Trump’s Post Office gambit has completely collapsed today

Over the past three days Palmer Report has been documenting how Donald Trump was losing the upper hand in the Post Office battle , with even his own House and Senate allies publicly admitting that he was going to have to cave .
When Trump ’ s Postmaster General Louis DeJoy agreed to testify to the House instead of trying to drag out a subpoena battle , we said it was all over , because DeJoy would start trying to clean up his act before his testimony .
Sure enough , DeJoy announced today that he ’ s immediately suspending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ making the Post Office .
No more removal of mailboxes .
No more removal of sorting machines , and so on .
This means we ’ ve officially won – and not just because he ’ s caving on these things , but because he ’ s now showing the vulnerability that will allow us to keep pressuring him until he caves on reinstating the functionality he ’ s removed .
Now that we ’ ve won the battle , it ’ s crucial that we do two things .
The first is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the crumbling Louis DeJoy to make sure he keeps caving , and that he ’ s too afraid to try any new secret sabotage .
Hopefully we can push him into resigning , which could allow career Post Office officials to retake control on an acting basis through the election .
The second key is that we ’ ve got to stop talking as if we ’ ve lost this battle .
Trump didn ’ t “ kill ” the Post Office .
Mail-in voting hasn ’ t become “ unsafe.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” the election through the Post Office .
When we promote this kind of fatalist narrative , we risk leaving voters with the impression that they shouldn ’ t even bother voting .
As Michelle Obama reminded us last night , Trump is corrupt and evil , but he ’ s also an incompetent failure .
Now let ’ s go win this .

Braindead brain surgeon Ben Carson and the clown from the MyPillow commercials were teaming up to hawk a laughably phony coronavirus miracle cure , and they ’ d gotten Donald Trump on board with it .

But the MyPillow guy was somewhat of a surprise .
After all , he ’ s always come off as a mere informercial doofus who likes Donald Trump way too much .
But when MyPillow guy Mike Lindell appeared on CNN with Anderson Cooper today , it immediately became clear that Lindell was someone different than the happy and goofy guy he portrays in his TV ads .
When Cooper explained that there were no clinical trials for Lindell ’ s supposed coronavirus drug , Lindell turned angry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had finally been pulled back .
By the time Anderson Cooper pointed out that there was no real difference between Mike Lindell and a “ snake oil salesmen , ” Lindell just about lost it .
We should have known that there was something more sinister to the MyPillow guy than just being a goofy pitchman who was naive enough to fall for Donald Trump ’ s lies .
Lindell exposed himself today in an ugly way .

palmerreport--2020-08-18--Senate Intel Committee confirms Donald Trump and his campaign committed treason with Russia

Today the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee released its final report on the Trump-Russia 2016 election scandal .
The scathing report goes into great detail about how Donald Trump and his campaign conspired with the Kremlin to alter the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election , leaving no doubt that Trump is a traitor .
The report also raises a number of questions .
First , if the Senate Intel Committee was able to dig up and expose all of this Trump-Russia collusion , why wasn ’ t Robert Mueller able to do so ?
Mueller ’ s final report @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a lot of what the Senate is documenting .
Mueller didn ’ t come close to doing his job .
Did he really go senile , or did Bill Barr and Rod Rosenstein really go that far to sabotage Mueller ’ s work ?
We deserve answers .
Second , considering how damning this new report is , it ’ s now clear why Donald Trump and his allies worked so hard to force Senate Intel Committee Chairman Richard Burr out of his position .

Today the Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee released its final report on the Trump-Russia 2016 election scandal. The scathing report goes into great detail about how Donald Trump and his campaign conspired with the Kremlin to alter the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, leaving no doubt that Trump is a traitor. The report also raises a number of questions.
First, if the Senate Intel Committee was able to dig up and expose all of this Trump-Russia collusion, why wasn’t Robert Mueller able to do so? Mueller’s final report was a hackneyed mess that barely touched on a lot of what the Senate is documenting. Mueller didn’t come close to doing his job. Did he really go senile, or did Bill Barr and Rod Rosenstein really go that far to sabotage Mueller’s work? We deserve answers.
Second, considering how damning this new report is, it’s now clear why Donald Trump and his allies worked so hard to force Senate Intel Committee Chairman Richard Burr out of his position. Burr was guilty of insider trading – but so were multiple other Senators. Trump’s DOJ solely targeted Burr in order to pressure him into stepping aside from his chairmanship. Fortunately, this stunt didn’t prevent the report from being released.
Third, Acting Senate Intel Committee Chair Marco Rubio is now flat out lying about what’s plainly visible in his own committee’s report. He’s insisting there was “no collusion” in almost cartoonish fashion. It’s clear that Rubio cares more about defending a sinking Donald Trump than he does about his own reputation or political future. Is Trump blackmailing Rubio, or is Rubio just that stupid?
Finally, what kind of impact will this report have on the election? It certainly allows us to make the argument to the voters in the middle that we were right all along about Trump and Russia rigging the 2016 election. But most people seem to be voting based on Trump’s poor handling of the coronavirus, the economy, and racial relations. If nothing else, this report will make it easier to push back against Trump if he’s dumb enough to keep campaigning on the laughable premise that the Trump-Russia scandal was a “hoax.”

palmerreport--2020-08-18--Donald Trump has completely berserk meltdown about Michelle Obama

Last night Donald Trump attacked Nancy Pelosi , Joe Biden , Kamala Harris , NPR , Rachel Maddow , Fox News , Nicolle Wallace , John Kasich , Andrew Cuomo ( five times ) , and the entire city of Seattle .
But he never did attack Michelle Obama , even though she hit him the hardest and most effectively of any Democratic National Convention speaker .
Trump clearly didn ’ t know what had hit him , and he was too stunned or afraid to hit back .
This morning Trump , or someone ghost-tweeting for him , finally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michelle Obama : “ Somebody please explain to Michelle Obama that Donald J. Trump would not be here , in the beautiful White House , if it weren ’ t for the job done by your husband , Barack Obama .
Biden was merely an afterthought , a good reason for that very late & unenthusiastic endorsement .
My Administration and I built the greatest economy in history , of any country , turned it off , saved millions of lives , and now am building an even greater economy than it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is already at a record high , the rest to follow .
Sit back & watch !
” Everything about this tweet is weird , starting with Trump ’ s decision to refer to himself by his full name in the third person .
Trump is also misrepresenting the fact that President Obama diplomatically waited until voters had chosen a nominee before endorsing a primary candidate .
As far as the rest of it , everyone knows Obama built the strong economy before Trump tanked it .

Biden was merely an afterthought, a good reason for that very late & unenthusiastic endorsement.

Jobs are flowing, NASDAQ is already at a record high, the rest to follow. Sit back & watch!”

palmerreport--2020-08-18--Donald Trump just delivered his concession speech

On the eve of the Democratic National Convention , Donald Trump delivered his concession speech .
That is to say , he told us in advance what he plans to claim should he lose .
Despite his trailing poll numbers and no evidence of fraud , Trump said that the “ only way we ’ re going to lose this election is if the election is rigged.
” Of course , grace in defeat was never an option for Donald Trump .
In order for Trump to concede anything he must tacitly , if not overtly , admit he has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corrupt mind that would constitute a confession of weakness .
So his insistence that a loss could only mean that he was cheated has always been a foregone conclusion .
Many of us have become so inured to Trump ’ s infantile , whining , self-dealing and self-aggrandizement , that it ’ s hard to imagine him behaving any other way .
After all , this narrative is nothing new .
He said the same thing in 2016 .
And , as it turned out , not even winning that election was enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ candidate in history to claim that an election he won was rigged .
Trump ’ s ego was so wounded because Hillary Clinton got almost three million more votes than he , that Trump squandered taxpayer money on a commission to investigate voter fraud in the 2016 election .
Try though they might — and , as they were Trump appointees , they tried mightily — after an investigation a year and a half long , members of the “ voting integrity commission ” found not one shred of evidence of fraud .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s convention , Bernie Sanders referred to the Trump phenomenon as “ The unthinkable has become normal.
” I think that nicely summarizes what has happened in America .
It wasn ’ t that long ago that a harmless ( albeit clumsy ) statement like “ we have binders full of women , ” or a candidate misspelling the word “ potato , ” or a president splitting hairs over the definition of the word “ is , ” became a national scandal .
As the Pussy-Grabberin-Chief might have put it , hold @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may come of all this .
It ’ s certainly inevitable that Joe Biden will make mistakes when he gets into office .
Those mistakes will seem harmless , perhaps even endearing , by comparison .
In the end , four years of the corpulent malignancy that is Donald Trump will have made us grateful for a president who is finally human again .
And , as ever , ladies and gentlemen , brothers and sisters , comrades and friends , stay safe .

Despite his trailing poll numbers and no evidence of fraud, Trump said that the “only way we’re going to lose this election is if the election is rigged.”
Of course, grace in defeat was never an option for Donald Trump. In order for Trump to concede anything he must tacitly, if not overtly, admit he has lost. In Donald Trump’s corrupt mind that would constitute a confession of weakness. So his insistence that a loss could only mean that he was cheated has always been a foregone conclusion.
Many of us have become so inured to Trump’s infantile, whining, self-dealing and self-aggrandizement, that it’s hard to imagine him behaving any other way. After all, this narrative is nothing new. He said the same thing in 2016. And, as it turned out, not even winning that election was enough for him. He became the first candidate in history to claim that an election he won was rigged.
Trump’s ego was so wounded because Hillary Clinton got almost three million more votes than he, that Trump squandered taxpayer money on a commission to investigate voter fraud in the 2016 election. Try though they might — and, as they were Trump appointees, they tried mightily — after an investigation a year and a half long, members of the “voting integrity commission” found not one shred of evidence of fraud.
In his speech at Monday night’s convention, Bernie Sanders referred to the Trump phenomenon as “The unthinkable has become normal.” I think that nicely summarizes what has happened in America. It wasn’t that long ago that a harmless (albeit clumsy) statement like “we have binders full of women,” or a candidate misspelling the word “potato,” or a president splitting hairs over the definition of the word “is,” became a national scandal. As the Pussy-Grabberin-Chief might have put it, hold my Diet Coke.
One good thing may come of all this. It’s certainly inevitable that Joe Biden will make mistakes when he gets into office. Those mistakes will seem harmless, perhaps even endearing, by comparison. In the end, four years of the corpulent malignancy that is Donald Trump will have made us grateful for a president who is finally human again.

palmerreport--2020-08-18--Former Trump White House official comes out in support of Joe Biden

Joe Biden has already racked up a number of high profile Republican endorsements – largely from former presidential candidates – like John Kasich and Carly Fiorina , but also a number of former congressmen , with Susan Molinari announcing her endorsement of Biden early Monday .
He also got a pretty major endorsement not long ago from former national security advisers who worked in both Republican and Democratic presidential administrations and were always careful to keep their work nonpartisan , having never openly endorsed candidates for president before .
Now , however , Biden might be getting his strongest endorsement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who served as the chief of staff in Donald Trump ’ s Department of Homeland Security until last year .
This endorsement doesn ’ t look good for Trump , since Taylor made his endorsement known in a Washington Post op-ed where he said that a second term of Donald Trump would be “ terrifying ” and “ unthinkable.
” The op-ed further confirmed the worst things that many of us had already suspected : Trump is in fact using the DHS for his own political fortunes and he ’ s regularly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to national security simply because he can ’ t be bothered to read the briefings .
Donald Trump ’ s evil practice of separating children from their parents at the border and putting them in cages was already likely to be a major issue in the 2020 campaign , a referendum on the current administration ’ s criminal agenda .
Now , Taylor is revealing that Trump was far from reluctantly following rules that were on the books – that Trump in fact wanted to do this deliberately to deter families from crossing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t be clearer .
Serious crimes against other nations are already being committed in our names – and things will only get worse with America ’ s standing in the world unless we vote Donald Trump out of office on November 3 .

palmerreport--2020-08-18--Credit where it’s due

Credit where it’s due

When the new CNN poll yesterday had Joe Biden up by just four points , even as the new Washington Post poll had Joe Biden up by twelve points , I pointed out that none of this told us anything new .
Biden ’ s lead in the polling averages has been roughly eight points for awhile , and when you plugged in these two new polls , his lead was still at eight points .
My fear was that cable news would do what it often does , which is to take the most outlandish poll number of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it were the only poll .
The media often does this in the name of shock value , because it ’ s good for ratings .
After all , it ’ s boring when you report that Biden ’ s lead in the polling averages is still holding steady .
It ’ s honest , but it ’ s boring – and boring is generally bad for ratings .
But credit where it ’ s due .
When the new polls came out yesterday , MSNBC didn ’ t merely have one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as if it were the only poll .
Instead , MSNBC actually allowed Steve Kornacki to present all of the new polls within context of each other .
He pointed out that the four-point poll was an outlier .
He even put the words “ AVERAGE BIDEN +8 ” in all capital letters in the middle of the screen .
This is how you report on poll numbers .
As Kornacki explained , the polling averages only ended up being off by about two points in 2016 ( they had Hillary Clinton winning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by two points ) .
When you win by four points or eight points , the electoral college doesn ’ t come into play , like it does when it ’ s a one or two point race .
If the media would report on the polls more accurately , people would have more faith in the polls , because they would see that the polling averages are usually proven correct within a couple of points .
It ’ s only the media ’ s obsession with misrepresenting the polls that leaves the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mouths .

Deeply disturbed individual Laura Loomer, who has been banned from most major platforms for hate speech and once had a mental breakdown outside Twitter’s headquarters, has won the Republican primary race for Florida’s 21st District.

And it’s not as if she was some outsider; Matt Gaetz endorsed her.
Elsewhere, Republican Congressman Ross Spano only lasted one term before losing his seat tonight in a primary challenge. He’s also under criminal investigation by the Department of Justice for campaign finance violations, and he could end up in prison. The Republicans sure can pick ’em!

– I’m glad John Legend is on our team.
– Joe Biden picked an elevator operator to officially nominate him tonight, and it totally worked. Biden is just that blue collar.
– Republican Senators Rick Scott and Marco Rubio are competing right now to see who can be the bigger clown. They’re both winning.
– It was nice to see Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter in action one more time. Long live them both.
– Momentum is continuing to build for Michael Cohen’s new book. Cohen also tweeted this today: “Pursuant to my testimony before both the House Oversight Committee and Senate Select Committee, Donald Trump DID speak with Roger Stone about Wikileaks.

palmerreport--2020-08-19--Donald Trump is still spiraling after that Michelle Obama throat punch

The first night of the Democratic National Convention was nothing short of inspiring .
Some gave typically political speeches , but all had one goal in mind : electing Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States .
Not only was the focus on electing Biden but also on the continued destruction being carried out by “ president ” Donald Trump .
Some gave powerful speeches in “ no holds barred ” fashion , including Governor Andrew Cuomo .
He did a fantastic job with New York , and many believe he could do the same across the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden .
One of the most poignant messages came from Kristin Urquiza , whose father died from listening to “ president ” Trump ’ s false messaging about coronavirus .
One of her most powerful messages was : “ His only preexisting condition was trusting Donald Trump , and for that , he paid with his life.
” Urquiza pledged to vote for Joe Biden in her father ’ s honor .
Her father is an unfortunate example of listening to Donald Trump .
Democrats are working hard to reach those who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Trump , and we can only hope that their urgent calls shook some people awake .
Bernie Sanders was extremely clear that he expects his followers to vote for Joe Biden .
He pointed out that he and Biden do not agree on everything but that Joe is making moves in the right direction , and four more years of Trump will ensure that none of the progressive policies make it past their own thoughts .
The speech of the evening , however , goes to Michelle Obama .
Michelle was so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ times , very emotional .
She laid out from first-hand experience how challenging the job of president is and how the person in that office must rise to the occasion .
One of the most compelling things Obama said was : “ being president doesn ’ t change who you are ; it reveals who you are , ” and that is certainly true when it comes to Donald Trump , a self-centered narcissist who does nothing unless it benefits him .
He refuses to listen to science , preferring to listen to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doctor who has absolutely no experience in epidemiology and who believes we should all go out and infect each other to defeat the virus .
As expected , Trump had to come back at Michelle Obama , and just like his plagiarizing wife , he had to use Michelle ’ s words , claiming that she was “ in over her head.
” No , that is you , Trump , and it is glaringly obvious .
The worst thing about Trump ’ s inability to do the job he stole is his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to find a solution .
He would rather kill us all with his stupidity .
Face it , Trump : Just like Barack , Michelle showed you up , not that it is really that difficult to do .
Anyone who believes his own hype more than the evidence pointing him in the face is headed for a downfall , and we can not wait for Trump ’ s to come .

palmerreport--2020-08-20--Donald Trump’s Republican Party is in its death throes

The Republican National Convention is set for next week and the kick-start is a perfectly-synched line up of comic book villains .
Yes , they ’ ll play Lee Greenwood in the background and Trump will hug the flag .
They ’ ll talk about freedom and the economy even while the stock market is only aiding the 1 % and without a national mask-mandate , everyone is free to die .
Trump slams Goodyear tires , which are made in the US , while congratulating Laura Loomer , the bigot who can ’ t even get an Uber ride @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the surreal land that we are all too familiar with by now : Republicanworld .
The Republican Party is in its death throes .
Their silence on the Senate Intelligence Committee ’ s report of Russian ties to the Trump campaign is more than enough to know that none of these – Romney-excepted – politicians care about our country .
That Russia and the mob have attempted a stranglehold on our most sacred right , the freedom to a secure vote , is terrifying .
The fact that this proof is being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Party is all you need to know about them .
Not every Republican is anti-American , but they are willfully uninformed .
They feed on a steady diet of outrage “ news ” at Fox and Breitbart , and they don ’ t know any of the facts .
While many Republicans are truly toxic , most Americans don ’ t want foreign interference in our country .
So , it ’ s important to remind them every time , in every discussion , what the bipartisan Senate Intelligence report says : That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election from a hostile foreign power and the mob .
It not a hoax .
And it ’ s all in the report available to all .
Keep the link to it handy , and hand it out to every Republican you know .
End all arguments with it .
It truly is the bottom line .
If they don ’ t see it , they are unsalvageable , and America is unique because they have the freedom to be unsalvageable .
But don ’ t make the mistake that every Republican or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , John McCain ’ s widow , and many others are doing what ’ s right .
Give others around you the same chance .
Hand out that report and tell them Putin is not welcome here .

Trump slams Goodyear tires, which are made in the US, while congratulating Laura Loomer, the bigot who can’t even get an Uber ride she’s so vile. Welcome to the surreal land that we are all too familiar with by now: Republicanworld.
The Republican Party is in its death throes. Their silence on the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report of Russian ties to the Trump campaign is more than enough to know that none of these – Romney-excepted – politicians care about our country. That Russia and the mob have attempted a stranglehold on our most sacred right, the freedom to a secure vote, is terrifying. The fact that this proof is being brushed under the carpet by the Republican Party is all you need to know about them.
Not every Republican is anti-American, but they are willfully uninformed. They feed on a steady diet of outrage “news” at Fox and Breitbart, and they don’t know any of the facts. While many Republicans are truly toxic, most Americans don’t want foreign interference in our country. So, it’s important to remind them every time, in every discussion, what the bipartisan Senate Intelligence report says: That Trump willfully accepted foreign interference in our election from a hostile foreign power and the mob.
It not a hoax. And it’s all in the report available to all. Keep the link to it handy, and hand it out to every Republican you know. End all arguments with it. It truly is the bottom line. If they don’t see it, they are unsalvageable, and America is unique because they have the freedom to be unsalvageable. But don’t make the mistake that every Republican or conservative is unsalvageable. The Lincoln Project, John McCain’s widow, and many others are doing what’s right. Give others around you the same chance. Hand out that report and tell them Putin is not welcome here.

palmerreport--2020-08-20--Kellyanne Conway goes completely off the deep end on Fox News and gets called out by the host

During the 2016 campaign , Donald Trump claimed he had a plan to defeat ISIS within thirty days , but that he wouldn ’ t tell anyone the plan unless he won the election .
It turned out he never did have a plan .
Apparently Trump and his team are under the impression that everyone just pretends to have a secret plan , as evidenced by Kellyanne Conway ’ s appearance on Fox News today .
Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox and said this about the Biden campaign ’ s coronavirus strategy : “ If they ’ ve got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shouldn ’ t be sitting on it until November 4th.
” At this point Fox host Sandra Smith pushed back with the truth : “ Joe Biden ’ s got a plan.
” Kellyanne said , “ Where is it ?
” Smith responded , “ it ’ s on his campaign website.
” Kellyanne sarcastically responded with “ yeah , sure , ” as if she didn ’ t believe it .
Smith then urged Kellyanne Conway to go “ read through it.
” At that point Kellyanne suddenly claimed that she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the Biden website , just five seconds after she ’ d claimed that the Biden plan didn ’ t exist .
This was embarrassing even for Kellyanne .
When you ’ re a Trump adviser and you on Fox News and you lie so badly that Fox ends up calling you out for it , you know you ’ ve screwed up .

Smith then urged Kellyanne Conway to go “read through it.” At that point Kellyanne suddenly claimed that she’d already read the Biden plan on the Biden website, just five seconds after she’d claimed that the Biden plan didn’t exist.

palmerreport--2020-08-19--This is not what Donald Trump wanted to hear

Donald Trump still isn ’ t over Michelle Obama ’ s speech from Monday night , to the surprise of absolutely no one .
He spent nearly all of Tuesday in a tirade claiming she got the number of deaths wrong .
It was probably the wrong detail for him to nitpick – because the number is now over 170,000 due to Trump ’ s stupidity and bewildering incompetence that has left the country in a dangerous and embarrassing position while other countries have gotten a handle on the crisis and are starting to reopen .
Trump is still refusing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for this disaster , instead throwing tantrums about a former first lady ’ s speech on TV – meaning he ’ s not even trying to keep up any illusions about working to solve the COVID crisis .
It gets worse .
While you generally get the real reasons he ’ d be worked up over Obama ’ s speech , there ’ s another big reason for Donald Trump to be unhappy about Monday and Tuesday night ’ s rounds of speeches by intelligent , well-spoken people who actually have ideas of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problems .
On Monday night , MSNBC rated # 1 across the country for broadcast and cable , beating out Fox News by nearly one million viewers as they aired coverage of the Democratic National Convention – an audience of 4.34 million .
The audience was probably even bigger than that if you calculate all the people who streamed convention coverage .
You can expect these numbers to climb much higher when we hear from former President Obama and Joe Biden giving his speech as the nominee in the next two nights to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Donald Trump that he can ’ t hold rallies , and has to accept the nomination from the White House , and probably doesn ’ t help him that in a time like this , people are looking for leadership , not more of the same demented antics he ’ s been pulling since 2015 that gave him free media coverage .
He may boast about his ratings when the Republicans hold their convention next week , but they probably won ’ t put him or the party in a favorable light @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a prime example of why we need to vote them out on November 3 .

palmerreport--2020-08-19--Here’s how you know Donald Trump is losing the Post Office battle

When Postmaster General Louis DeJoy caved by agreeing to testify to the House , it meant he was going to have to keep caving .
Sure enough , he ’ s since further caved by agreeing to move up his testimony by three weeks , and then by agreeing to stop dismantling the Post Office ’ s functionality .
With Nancy Pelosi now piling on with hearings , DeJoy will also have to cave by undoing the changes he ’ s made up to this point .
But if you really want confirmation that Donald Trump and his team are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , just take a look at this Trump tweet from today : “ Why are Republicans allowing the Democrats to have ridiculous Post Office hearings on Saturday & Monday , just before and during our Convention .
Let them hold them NOW ( during their Convention ) or after our Convention is over .
Always playing right into their hands !
” As a general rule , if Donald Trump is whining , it means he ’ s losing .
More specifically , when Trump is whining about the Republicans not doing enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means he ’ s really losing .
Keep up the pressure on DeJoy so we can finish him off .
But don ’ t think for one minute that we ’ re going to lose this Post Office battle , because it ’ s firmly turning in our favor – and even whiny Trump knows it .

palmerreport--2020-08-19--Marco Rubio goes completely off the rails as Donald Trump circles the drain

Donald Trump has long claimed the Russia investigation was a hoax .
However , the just released Senate Intelligence Committee report , a bipartisan effort , has conclusions well at odds with the matter being a hoax .
The report is explosive .
One question it raises for Americans is this – during the impeachment trial of Donald Trump , no GOP Senator called for witnesses .
This despite the Committee making criminal referrals for Donald Trump Jr. , Steve Bannon , Jared Kushner , Erik Prince and Sam Clovis to federal prosecutors .
The report found that Donald Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ responses .
The report debunks that Ukraine was involved in the 2016 election interference .
While the Report is not a criminal finding , it demonstrates beyond doubt that Russia had ties with the 2016 Trump campaign .
Marco Rubio has done a William Barr in recent days , arguing the report does not say what it says .
Take a look at that list and consider how strident many of these feckless SOBs have been when it comes to defending Trump and asserting there is nothing to see , move on , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ done .
Especially troubling is the behavior of Rubio , Cotton and Cornyn .
Collins is a sad excuse for a Senator as well .
Many of these folks are up for re-election this fall , and Americans must throw these traitorous anti-Americans out of office .

This despite the Committee making criminal referrals for Donald Trump Jr., Steve Bannon, Jared Kushner, Erik Prince and Sam Clovis to federal prosecutors. The report found that Donald Trump himself was not truthful in his written responses.
The report debunks that Ukraine was involved in the 2016 election interference. While the Report is not a criminal finding, it demonstrates beyond doubt that Russia had ties with the 2016 Trump campaign.
The GOP members of the Committee are: Marco Rubio – Acting Chair;
Richard Burr;
James Risch;
Susan Collins;
Roy Blunt;
Tom Cotton;
John Cornyn; and,
Ben Sasse.

palmerreport--2020-08-19--Lindsey Graham just got steamrolled

Lindsey Graham just got steamrolled

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was friends with Joe Biden for years , and often spoke highly of Biden , until Graham fell under the influence of corrupt maniac Donald Trump .
Ever since , Graham has been behaving like even more of a maniac than Trump .
For instance , Lindsey Graham has been spearheading a sham investigation into an imaginary “ Hunter Biden ” scandal that isn ’ t even real , and wouldn ’ t involve Joe Biden even if it were real .
It ’ s just one of the ways in in which Graham has completely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soul .
That made it all the more asinine when Graham tweeted this last night , even while leading a sham investigation into Jill Biden ’ s family : “ Tonight , Jill Biden did a very good job representing herself and Joe in the causes they believe in .
She ’ s an outstanding person who has led a consequential life.
” Fortunately , Congressman Eric Swalwell was around to steamroll Lindsey Graham for his thuggishness .
Swalwell posted a tweet which quoted Graham ’ s asinine words , and mockingly put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mouth : “ But I am morally bankrupt and will continue my Russia-backed investigation in the morning .

palmerreport--2020-08-19--Donald Trump has completely insane meltdown about Goodyear tires

Earlier this week , a graphic circulated around the internet claiming that Goodyear was allowing employees to wear social activist attire such as “ Black Lives Matter ” but not explicitly partisan attire such as “ MAGA ” hats .
Goodyear has made clear that the graphic isn ’ t entirely accurate .
But that didn ’ t stop Donald Trump from going berserk about it , of course .
Trump posted this jarring tweet : “ Don ’ t buy GOODYEAR TIRES – They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS .
Get better tires for far less !
( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do .
Two can play the same game , and we have to start playing it now ! )
.
” That ’ s right , the President of the United States just called for a boycott of a major American company , simply because the company won ’ t allow its employees to wear Trump 2020 campaign gear while on the job .
Nevermind that Goodyear won ’ t allow its employees to wear Biden 2020 campaign gear while on the job either .

palmerreport--2020-08-19--Everyone piles on after John Bolton screws us all again

John Bolton ’ s entire career has consisted of screwing over America in one way or another .
So it was no surprise that when he had a chance to be a hero by testifying against Donald Trump , he instead waited because he wanted to cash in on his book .
Of course his book surely would have sold a lot better if he ’ d testified when he was supposed to , but no one ever accused this guy of being good with strategy .
That brings us to this week , when John Bolton tried to score @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by pointing out that he ’ s not going to vote for Donald Trump .
That ’ s great , except Bolton says he ’ s not voting for Joe Biden either ; instead he ’ s voting third party .
This means Bolton is shirking his patriotic duty to vote Trump out , because he thinks he ’ s too good to do the right thing and vote for Biden .
John Bolton is getting widely slammed for this , as he should be .
He ’ s a traitor .
Here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There are some liberals and progressives who agree that Donald Trump is a deranged criminal , but they ’ re also planning to vote third party instead of voting for Biden .
These folks are just as big of traitors as John Bolton .
