It’s time to admit it

Let ’ s stop beating around the bush .
We don ’ t just have the worst President in the history of the United States .
We have no President .
We have a psychotic evil blob at the wheel who goes around insulting and taunting everyone as his own ship sinks and people drown .
Today Donald Trump bragged that perhaps only a hundred thousand Americans will die because of the actions he ’ s taken , instead of a couple million Americans .
Wait , what action ?
He ’ s done nothing .
All of the shutdowns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state or local level .
Governors are scavenging for their own medical supplies .
States are forced to compete with each other for resources because there ’ s no coordination at the federal level .
Actually , this is worse than if there were no President of the United States .
Imagine if the office were simply vacant .
In such case any competent officials in the federal government would be doing the best they could with this crisis , of their own accord .
Instead they all have to answer to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the job but who insists on incoherently and vindictively interjecting himself into the decision making process anyway .
Trump supporters are generally the type who argue that there shouldn ’ t be a federal government , because they don ’ t want anyone trying to force them to live their lives in a way that doesn ’ t harm others .
Now they ’ ve pretty much gotten their way .
But Trump supporters aren ’ t magically immune to this virus .
They ’ re going to die off at roughly the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Here ’ s hoping they have decency to never vote again after this is over .

Today Donald Trump bragged that perhaps only a hundred thousand Americans will die because of the actions he’s taken, instead of a couple million Americans. Wait, what action? He’s done nothing. All of the shutdowns and lockdowns have been done at the state or local level. Governors are scavenging for their own medical supplies. States are forced to compete with each other for resources because there’s no coordination at the federal level.
Actually, this is worse than if there were no President of the United States. Imagine if the office were simply vacant. In such case any competent officials in the federal government would be doing the best they could with this crisis, of their own accord. Instead they all have to answer to the psychotic blob, who refuses to do the job but who insists on incoherently and vindictively interjecting himself into the decision making process anyway.
Trump supporters are generally the type who argue that there shouldn’t be a federal government, because they don’t want anyone trying to force them to live their lives in a way that doesn’t harm others. Now they’ve pretty much gotten their way. But Trump supporters aren’t magically immune to this virus. They’re going to die off at roughly the same rate as the rest of us. Here’s hoping they have decency to never vote again after this is over.

Nikki Haley threw away a promising political career in order to take a position in the Trump regime , which has destroyed her reputation , and which she ’ s since resigned from .
With absolutely no prospects left going forward , other than the hope that Donald Trump might somehow add her to the 2020 ticket in place of Mike Pence , she continues to kiss Trump ’ s butt .

He made multiple references to what are likely imaginary friends of his .

But one moment in particular may have been the most alarming of all.
At one point Donald Trump admitted that he’s already giving up on his goal of reopening the country by Easter, and that he’s now focused on April 30th instead – with a fallback of June. Trump then tried to take credit for the social distancing and lockdowns that have been put in place, saying that some of his own advisers have instead been urging him to “Ride it like a cowboy. Ride that sucker right through.”
Who are these advisers? Who in the White House is telling Donald Trump that we should leave the country fully open and let millions of Americans die? Do these advisers really exist? If so, then it means that Trump is being advised by people who are even more dangerously deranged than he is. We deserve names.

Donald Trump is the most notorious racist of his generation .

Mexican rapists .
Muslim bans .
Immigrant kids in cages .
It just keeps getting worse .

During his press conference today , Donald Trump got a question he didn ’ t like from respected PBS reporter Yamiche @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her .
Not only did he berate and insult her , he yelled “ you people ” at her .
He ’ ll try to argue that he was referring to reporters in general when he used the phrase .
But because we all know he ’ s a racist , there ’ s little doubt that what he meant was “ you black people.
” This comes after Donald Trump spent a week repeatedly referring to the coronavirus as the “ Chinese virus ” in an attempt at scapegoating Asian-Americans for his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States .
Now he ’ s moved on to yelling “ you people ” at a black person .
How long before he finally blurts out the N-word at one of these press conferences ?

During his press conference today, Donald Trump got a question he didn’t like from respected PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor, so he went off on her. Not only did he berate and insult her, he yelled “you people” at her. He’ll try to argue that he was referring to reporters in general when he used the phrase. But because we all know he’s a racist, there’s little doubt that what he meant was “you black people.”
This comes after Donald Trump spent a week repeatedly referring to the coronavirus as the “Chinese virus” in an attempt at scapegoating Asian-Americans for his own failure to contain the outbreak in the United States. Now he’s moved on to yelling “you people” at a black person. How long before he finally blurts out the N-word at one of these press conferences?

palmerreport--2020-03-29--Donald Trump completely loses it after he gets a question he doesn’t like from a strong black woman

Donald Trump opened his press conference today in typically deranged fashion , as he began falsely accusing New York City hospital workers of overusing and abusing emergency medical supplies , in an attempt at covering for his own unwillingness to send proper supplies to the city .
But when he got to the Q & A session , Trump was almost behaving – until he got a question he didn ’ t like from PBS NewsHour reporter Yamiche Alcindor .
Yamiche Alcindor dared to quote Sean Hannity ’ s own words to Donald Trump , which sent Trump into a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and berating Alcindor on a level that wouldn ’ t have felt out of place on the Jerry Springer show .
It was nothing short of horrendous .
When Alcindor stood her ground and tried to follow up , Trump had her mic cut off .
This is the second time that Donald Trump has completely lost it at a press conference after Yamiche Alcindor asked him a question .
Her questions are tough but fair .
We all know the reason he keeps losing it : she ’ s a strong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better than he is , and that makes his racist sexist head explode .

We don ’ t know if he has the coronavirus or what , but it ’ s clear that there ’ s something seriously wrong with his health and that he ’ s trying to cover it up .

That ’ s right , the so-called President of the United States is more focused on his feud with the Royal Family than he is on the fact that the United States is in the process of full blown collapse .
Actually , Trump is the reason that the United States is in the process of full blown collapse , so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harry ’ s father Prince Charles has the coronavirus .

palmerreport--2020-03-29--Turns out Donald Trump gave our coronavirus supplies to China

Donald Trump keeps alternating between falsely claiming that he ’ s delivering more coronavirus medical supplies to states than he really is , falsely claiming the states already have all the coronavirus medical supplies it needs , and asserting that he ’ s refusing to give supplies to some states because he doesn ’ t like their Governors .
So what ’ s the real truth .
As always with Trump , the real story ends up being even worse than what we imagined .
Seven weeks ago , in a move that was overlooked at the time , Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oversaw an effort to ship coronavirus medical supplies from the United States to China .
He bragged about it on Twitter .
His press release says that 17.8 tons of medical equipment were involved .

Donald Trump keeps alternating between falsely claiming that he’s delivering more coronavirus medical supplies to states than he really is, falsely claiming the states already have all the coronavirus medical supplies it needs, and asserting that he’s refusing to give supplies to some states because he doesn’t like their Governors. So what’s the real truth.
As always with Trump, the real story ends up being even worse than what we imagined. Seven weeks ago, in a move that was overlooked at the time, Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo oversaw an effort to ship coronavirus medical supplies from the United States to China. He bragged about it on Twitter. His press release says that 17.8 tons of medical equipment were involved.
To be clear, helping out another nation in a humanitarian crisis is the correct thing to do. But Trump and Pompeo knew that the coronavirus was going to end up hitting the United States hard. Once they decided to ship seventeen tons worth of emergency medical equipment to China, they had a responsibility to make sure those supplies were replaced with new ones by the time they were needed in the U.S.
Yet Donald Trump is still refusing to invoke the Defense Production Act for the most part. He’s sent New York about one-seventh of the ventilators it needs. He shipped a bunch of broken ventilators to California, forcing the state to get them repaired in Silicon Valley. Trump and Pompeo were trying to gain some kind of personal favor with China by sending our coronavirus supplies there, leaving the United States caught with its pants down in this crisis.

palmerreport--2020-03-29--New polling shows 15% of Bernie Sanders fans are actually Trump supporters. Here’s how we deal with

New polling shows 15% of Bernie Sanders fans are actually Trump supporters. Here’s how we deal with it.

If you ’ ve been following the “ Bernie Sanders movement ” closely , you ’ ve known since 2015 that there are two entirely distinct groups of Bernie supporters .
New polling from ABC News proves this , as it reveals that 15 % of self-identified Bernie fans now plan to vote for Donald Trump over Joe Biden in November .
This isn ’ t a surprise .
But it ’ s something we must deal with .
Most Bernie Sanders support his movement because they believe in liberal and progressive policies , and they don ’ t realize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far too simplistic to ever happen in the way he ’ s talking about implementing them .
Could a smarter , savvier , more honest politician make Bernie ’ s ideas happen ?
Sure , but it would happen in a far more complicated , messy , and less perfect way – because that ’ s how actually politics works .
If Bernie were President , he would get literally zero of his agenda accomplished , because he ’ s the most clueless politician in modern American history when it comes to how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ almost painful to watch someone who ’ s still so utterly clueless about politics , after forty years of failing in office and never learning .
Unfortunately , because most Bernie fans are new to politics and therefore don ’ t know how anything in politics actually works , they ’ ve always been vulnerable to the bad influence of Bernie ’ s other supporters .
From literally day one back in mid-2015 , the ringleaders of the Bernie Sanders movement have consisted of burn-it-all-down anarchists and right wingers in disguise who were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the name of harming Hillary Clinton .
Now these frauds are using the same tactics to try to harm Joe Biden .
And while 85 % of Bernie fans are decent well-intentioned people , most of them don ’ t realize they ’ ve been sucked into an essentially alt-right operation that has literally nothing to do with any of the progressive ideals that Bernie talks about .
Bernie Sanders , for his part , has never seemed to care that the leaders of his own movement are non-progressives who couldn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anarchists and alt-right types built him up to begin with , so he surely feels he needs them in order to remain relevant .
He ’ s wrong , of course .
If he ’ d chased the frauds and thugs out of his movement a long time ago , he might have actually had a shot at the nomination .
But he either doesn ’ t understand the trouble he ’ s caused for himself by consorting with the enemies of everything he claims to hold dear , or he doesn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news for you : those 15 % of Bernie fans were never going to vote for Bernie even if he was the nominee .
They didn ’ t even turn out and vote for him in the primary .
Because these are the anarchists and alt-right types who never saw Bernie as anything more than an opportunity to divide the left against itself .
The question is what we do about the other 85 % of Bernie supporters , who can be steered toward voting for Biden .
First , we have to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their own movement .
It helps to point out to Bernie fans that many of the “ Bernie 2016 ” ringleaders ended up voting for Donald Trump or Jill Stein , even after Bernie asked them to vote for Hillary Clinton , because they never cared about Bernie to begin with .
These folks are not in the “ movement ” they think they ’ re in , and we need to make them understand why they must remove themselves from the toxic cult they ’ ve been unwittingly dragged into .
Second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how things actually work in the adult political world .
These 85 % of Bernie supporters are political newbies who actually believe that he can magically implement the things he promises , without having to figure out how to get it passed , or how to pay for it , or how to implement it , simply by stomping his feet .
We must educate them on what ’ s actually involved in passing legislation , what ’ s real and what ’ s fantasy .
Bernie Sanders has poisoned even his most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and his insistence that any politician who isn ’ t making similar magical promises must be part of the evil “ establishment.
” But they can be brought back from the brink .
We ’ re in the midst of a deadly pandemic , caused entirely by Donald Trump ’ s incompetence and psychopathy , and voting for Joe Biden is literarily the only way to stop Trump ’ s murder spree .

But we can still pull this off .
These 15 % of “ Bernie fans ” were never , ever going to vote for the Democratic nominee .
Let it go .
Forget them .

They ’ re the ones whose votes we need .

Bernie Sanders, thanks to his lethal combination of arrogance and cluelessness, has made Donald Trump’s downfall twice as hard as it needs to be. But we can still pull this off.

palmerreport--2020-03-29--Marco Rubio gets lambasted for his coronavirus idiocy

Marco Rubio has always come across like a fifth grader who ’ s nervously reading aloud a book report that his mother wrote for him .
When Rubio tries to be one of the cool kids , he falls flat on his face .
And when Rubio tries to be a moralist , he comes across even worse .
Rubio posted this bizarre tweet aimed at giving himself the moral high ground and distracting everyone from how badly his party ’ s President Donald Trump has blown this : Some in our media can ’ t contain their glee & @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more # CoronaVirus cases than # China We have NO IDEA how many cases China really has but without any doubt its significantly more than why they admit to Respondents were quick to point out that because the Trump regime is roughly as corrupt as the current regime in China , it ’ s a given that the U.S. death toll is also much higher than what ’ s being announced .
There ’ s also no evidence that anyone in the media is happy about the death toll .
The response to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so swift and negative , “ Little Marco ” began trending on Twitter .
That ’ s the nickname that Donald Trump once gave Rubio when he was running against him in 2016 .
Now that Rubio has corruptly aligned himself with Trump ’ s ongoing murder spree , it ’ s fitting that Rubio is being forced to swallow a nickname that Trump created .

palmerreport--2020-03-29--Former federal prosecutor makes the case for criminal charges against Donald Trump in coronavirus cr

Former federal prosecutor makes the case for criminal charges against Donald Trump in coronavirus crisis

What Donald Trump is doing right now is mass murder in the eyes of most people .
Not only have his lies and incompetence gotten a whole lot of Americans killed in the coronavirus crisis , he ’ s now withholding aid to states whose Governors he doesn ’ t like , thus purposely ratcheting up the death toll .
But does this meet the legal definition of a crime ?
Respected former federal prosecutor and current NBC News legal analyst Glenn Kirschner spelled it out this way : Involuntary Manslaughter = 1 .
Acting in a grossly negligent manner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ serious bodily injury or death to another , thereby 3. causing the death of another ( “ causation ” defined as an act that is a substantial factor in bringing about death ) .
Just the facts .
https : //t.co/j7RlixPSqZ “ Involuntary Manslaughter ” may sound a lot less severe than how the average person sees Donald Trump ’ s actions .
But the court of law has a different threshold for criminality than the court of public opinion does .
The bottom line is that with Trump now in severe danger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no longer being President by January , he now has to worry about facing even more criminal charges once he ’ s gone .
Of course he ’ s already facing life in prison and then some , so he may be past the point of caring .

Mitch Albom destroys Donald Trump

This week Donald Trump admitted during a press conference that he ’ s letting the people of Michigan and Washington die in the coronavirus crisis because he doesn ’ t like their governors .
This was a flat out confession to mass murder , and let ’ s just say that it isn ’ t going over well in the states in question .
Detroit legend Mitch Albom , former sports writer and author of Tuesdays With Morrie , is ripping Donald Trump to pieces in a new column for the Detroit Free Press .
“ Show some respect , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump referred to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer as “ the woman ” instead of using her name .
Albom explains that “ I have tried to shy away from too much Donald Trump criticism during this crisis ” because “ what good does it do ?
” But at this point Albom has absolutely had it .
He goes on to defend Whitmer ’ s handling of the coronavirus crisis , point by point , while asserting that Trump ’ s handling of things has been “ horse crap.
” You can read @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
What continues to stand out to us is that Donald Trump needs to win Michigan in November in order to have any shot at reelection , and yet he ’ s alienating the state as thoroughly as possible .

palmerreport--2020-03-29--Donald Trump is trying to pull a fast one on us. Don’t let him get away with it.

With around a quarter of the world ’ s population under lockdown , global air and water pollution is down dramatically .
Without doubt , this is an enormous benefit .
It ’ s easy to think that the pandemic is a good time for environmental recovery .

This has experts very worried that this will cause even more deforestation in the Amazon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terrifying considering the Amazon saw the highest level of deforestation in a decade last year .
With the pandemic under control in China thanks to Beijing ’ s imposition on what amounted to martial law , their pollution has rebounded almost to its full extent before the pandemic .
There ’ s some worry too that polluting could “ rebound with a vengeance ” as companies try to make up for lost time , potentially overwhelming any benefits the Earth saw in the short period of respite during the pandemic lockdowns .
Additionally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have had to be canceled or postponed at a time when we can not dawdle .
Finally , we get to Trump .
Like Jair Bolsonaro , Trump seems to have an aggressive hatred of the environment .
His slash-and-burn , anything-for-a-profit , manifest destiny mentality has come to the forefront .
Notably , he ’ s insisted that Americans can ease social distancing and even go back to work by Easter , which would almost certainly make the spread of the virus worse .
On top of this , he and a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that older people , who are believed to be the most vulnerable to the virus , would rather die than see the economy go down the tubes .
It is safe to say that these people have absolute lost their minds , assuming they had any to begin with .
If this is Trump ’ s response to human lives—what has he done to the environment ?
He ’ s executed it .
Quietly , Trump has directed Executive Branch agencies to indefinitely let companies pollute air and water without the risk of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Environmental Protection Agency has “ suspended its enforcement of environmental laws during the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
” Do you like existing or care about anything else existing ?
If so , this should disgust you .

He’s executed it. Quietly, Trump has directed Executive Branch agencies to indefinitely let companies pollute air and water without the risk of being sanctioned. That’s right, the Environmental Protection Agency has “suspended its enforcement of environmental laws during the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.”

Several of them are up for reelection this year, and they were hoping that Trump would help campaign for them. They acquitted a guilty man for corrupt reasons, and that should make them criminally liable for the mass murder that he’s now psychotically committing in America.

Donald Trump’s mishandling of the coronavirus crisis has taken such a psychotic and deadly turn, even some of his own people are now resorting to giving the media a heads-up about how out of control it all is. This has prompted Trump to insist that these sources simply don’t exist.
Chelsea Clinton is having absolutely none of it. She’s ripping Donald Trump a new one, and she’s bringing the facts:
In February, we tested <400 people for #COVID19. In the entire United States. In a year when February even has an extra day. South Korea tested more than 75,000 people in those 29 days. https://t.co/5a3hHsGCI4 — Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) March 28, 2020

In the years since his retirement, he’s been more free to share his personal feelings on the news of the day, but he’s always kept things stately. Now that Donald Trump’s dishonest and psychotic handling of the coronavirus crisis is resulting in a staggering death toll, Brokaw is calling Trump out:
.
please, Mr President, make room at the table for all American leaders, not just those you like.
FDR, Churchill and Stalin had differences but a common enemy.
This is not jr high.

Trump just made things even worse

When Donald Trump abruptly announced weeks ago that he was shutting down nearly all travel from Europe to the United States , it resulted in airports jam packed with potentially infected people who were desperately trying to hurry up and get home .
It ’ s still not clear how many of them brought the coronavirus with them .
When Trump announced today that he was strongly considering quarantining parts of New York , New Jersey , and Connecticut , he surely set off a mass panic as well .
Fortunately , he backed down from his threat after just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Andrew Cuomo made clear that he would never go along with such a move .
But how many people panicked and immediately fled New York City during those six hours ?
Fortunately that ’ s a small window when it comes to packing up and heading to the airport .
But some New Yorkers have cars .
How many of them packed up and hit the road ?
One can only hope that anyone who panicked and left New York today , under the mistaken belief that Donald Trump had the ability to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up self-isolating for fourteen days once they get wherever they ’ re going .
These things can be difficult to measure , but there ’ s no doubt that to some degree at least , Trump needlessly made the coronavirus crisis even worse today .

When Trump announced today that he was strongly considering quarantining parts of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, he surely set off a mass panic as well.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is a close ally of Donald Trump, so you already knew going into this that DeSantis was going to turn out to be dishonest, corrupt, thuggish, and wildly incompetent. Sure enough, now that the coronavirus crisis is closing in on Florida, DeSantis is going off the deep end.
Ron DeSantis held a press conference today so he could tell a bunch of lies about how he’s handling the coronavirus crisis. Then he pulled a trick right out of Donald Trump’s bag. The Miami Herald and Tampa Bay Times have been leading the way in exposing DeSantis’s negligent coronavirus response, so he banned them from today’s press conference.
This comes even as Ron DeSantis tries to scapegoat New Yorkers for the coronavirus outbreak in Florida, even though it’s largely a result of his own refusal to cancel spring break and close Florida’s beaches. When this is over, DeSantis needs to face criminal charges of negligent homicide for his intentionally dishonest handing of the coronavirus crisis.

palmerreport--2020-03-29--So much for Bernie Sanders’ underhanded plan to steal the Democratic nomination

Why hasn ’ t Bernie Sanders dropped out of the 2020 Democratic primary race yet ?
He ’ s already lost .

It ’ s over and he knows it .
Moreover , there ’ s a pandemic going on which would make it difficult and dangerous to even continue holding these pointless primary contests .

Sanders recently announced that he intends to remain in the primary race through the New York primary on April 28th .
Why would that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He lost the state in a massive blowout in 2016 , and the polls say he ’ ll lose New York in an even bigger blowout in 2020 .
But with New York City and other parts of the state on lockdown , the primary was going to be facing severely depressed turnout , the point that the results would have been unpredictable and illegitimate .
And that was Bernie ’ s plan , right ?
Force New York to hold an illegitimate primary in the midst of a pandemic , push his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ risk their lives by going out to vote , hope that the skewed results happen to land in his favor , and then use it as an excuse to remain in the race until the convention so he can try to steal the nomination .
But today New York State announced that it ’ s delaying its primary to June 23rd .
That ’ ll allow enough time for the coronavirus crisis in New York to have peaked , or enough time for everyone to be shifted to vote-by-mail if necessary .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the state like he ’ s supposed to .
More to the point , Bernie won ’ t be able to pull off a fake win in April and use it as an excuse to stay in the race .

Either that or Bernie can just go home .

Sanders recently announced that he intends to remain in the primary race through the New York primary on April 28th. Why would that even be a target for him? He lost the state in a massive blowout in 2016, and the polls say he’ll lose New York in an even bigger blowout in 2020. But with New York City and other parts of the state on lockdown, the primary was going to be facing severely depressed turnout, the point that the results would have been unpredictable and illegitimate.
And that was Bernie’s plan, right? Force New York to hold an illegitimate primary in the midst of a pandemic, push his most obsessed supporters in the state to risk their lives by going out to vote, hope that the skewed results happen to land in his favor, and then use it as an excuse to remain in the race until the convention so he can try to steal the nomination.
But today New York State announced that it’s delaying its primary to June 23rd. That’ll allow enough time for the coronavirus crisis in New York to have peaked, or enough time for everyone to be shifted to vote-by-mail if necessary. In other words, Joe Biden will win the state like he’s supposed to. More to the point, Bernie won’t be able to pull off a fake win in April and use it as an excuse to stay in the race. It’s time for Sanders to put his ego aside, drop out, and start working with Joe Biden to develop a strong Democratic Party platform. Either that or Bernie can just go home. After the stunts he’s been pulling, most liberals would prefer never to hear from him again.

Six hours .

Trump tried to create a distraction by threatening to quarantine parts of New York , New Jersey , and Connecticut .

Palmer Report called this out for being nothing more than an attempt at distracting the media from covering his negligence and failures , and sure enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up confirming that he wasn ’ t about to let any such thing happen .
Now Trump is caving .
He just posted this tweet : On the recommendation of the White House CoronaVirus Task Force , and upon consultation with the Governor ’ s of New York , New Jersey and Connecticut , I have asked the @ CDCgov to issue a strong Travel Advisory , to be administered by the Governors , in consultation with the Federal Government .
A quarantine will not be necessary .
Full details will be released @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We saw that coming .
The only way Donald Trump could have succeeded with this would have been if Andrew Cuomo agreed with him , which was never going to happen .

Trump is age 73 and in poor health, during a pandemic that kills people who fit his description. At this point it’s like he’s begging to get sick and die.
On top of that, the entire time Donald Trump was giving his endless rambling speech, the hospital ship had to sit there. It couldn’t set sail until the idiot finished talking. Every minute counts in this crisis, and it appears Trump held up the ship’s launch, which means he held up its arrival in New York City.
We have a deranged, delusional, psychotic maniac for President. At this point the single biggest thing that could save the most American lives would be if Donald Trump was removed via the 25th Amendment. By refusing to invoke it, Mike Pence is participating in a mass murder criminal conspiracy.

Earlier today , Donald Trump floated the idea of placing parts of New York , New Jersey , and Connecticut under quarantine .

Now , New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is striking back .
He ’ s confirming that any such attempt on Donald Trump ’ s part would cause “ chaos and mayhem ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This matters , because Cuomo and the Governors of the surrounding states have complete control over any decision about quarantines , and Trump has literally zero power .
He can ’ t give an order to the National Guard in defiance of the Governor , and the National Guard can ’ t follow it .
It ’ s not difficult to figure out why Donald Trump is making this empty threat .
First , it helps out his pal Ron DeSantis , the corrupt Republican Governor of Florida , who is now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own criminally negligent handling of the coronavirus crisis .
Second , because the media eagerly took the bait and ran with the ratings-friendly narrative that Trump is somehow magically going to invoke a quarantine , it means the media isn ’ t spending the day covering Trump ’ s deranged and deadly handling of the crisis .
In reality Trump can no more quarantine New York than he can make it rain tomorrow .

Last night Palmer Report published an article titled “Rudy Giuliani is trying to get us all killed” in which we explained that Rudy was using his Twitter account to promote phony miracle cures for the coronavirus. It turns out we weren’t the only ones who saw the danger in what Giuliani was doing.
CNN is now confirming that Twitter has temporarily suspended Rudy Giuliani and another Trump stooge named Charlie Kirk for “violating the Twitter Rules regarding COVID-19 misinformation.” You can still see Rudy’s account and his tweets (with the exception of the offending tweets, which have been removed). This is as opposed to a permanent suspension, in which someone’s entire account vanishes.
What’s surreal is that Rudy Giuliani’s false miracle cure is essentially the same thing that Donald Trump has falsely touted on Twitter and in press conferences. It doesn’t appear that any action has been taken against Trump’s Twitter account, and his disastrous press conferences are still being aired live by major TV networks.
