palmerreport--2020-10-27--E. Jean Carroll lands major victory over Donald Trump, as Bill Barr blows it yet again

When Attorney General Bill Barr decided that the Department of Justice itself would defend Donald Trump in the civil case that E. Jean Carroll brought against him , it was an abomination on multiple levels .
For one thing , the DOJ is not the President ’ s personal law firm .
Also , Trump is credibly accused of having raped E. Jean Carroll , making the whole thing disgusting .
The courts ruled today that the DOJ can ’ t do this , and that E. Jean Carroll can in fact carry out her civil case against Donald Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Carroll ( and for America ) , who tweeted this in response : “ Overjoyed !
The DOJ and @ realDonaldTrump TOGETHER , can ’ t stop a woman who wants the world to know the truth !
… This win is for every woman in the country !
” Meanwhile , this represents the latest in a growing string of failures on the part of Bill Barr .
He ’ s tried and failed to meddle on Donald Trump ’ s behalf in the Flynn , Stone , Cohen , Lev @ @ @ @ @ @ @ among others – but Barr has struck out every time .
Barr is as corrupt as they get , but he ’ s a remarkably ineffective henchman .

Jean Carroll, making the whole thing disgusting.
The courts ruled today that the DOJ can’t do this, and that E. Jean Carroll can in fact carry out her civil case against Donald Trump directly. This is a major victory for Carroll (and for America), who tweeted this in response: “Overjoyed! The DOJ and @realDonaldTrump TOGETHER, can’t stop a woman who wants the world to know the truth! … This win is for every woman in the country!”
Meanwhile, this represents the latest in a growing string of failures on the part of Bill Barr. He’s tried and failed to meddle on Donald Trump’s behalf in the Flynn, Stone, Cohen, Lev, Igor, and Bannon cases, among others – but Barr has struck out every time.

palmerreport--2020-10-27--The Brett Kavanaugh factor that no one is talking about

It ’ s easy to have forgotten about it because it feels like it was a lifetime ago , but Brett Kavanaugh committed provable perjury during his confirmation hearing , and the statute of limitations hasn ’ t run out yet .
If Donald Trump loses , the post-Trump DOJ could easily have Kavanaugh indicted for perjury , leaving Kavanaugh with little choice but to resign as part of a plea deal or non-prosecution deal .
We have no way of knowing for sure if this is going to happen .
But given the way things are playing out , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to ring up Kavanaugh for perjury ?
Certainly , Senate Democrats will make the criminal referral to the DOJ , and the DOJ could very well act on it .
So the bottom line is that if Trump loses , there is a possibility that Brett Kavanaugh could end up coming off the Supreme Court sometime after the election .
The Democrats would then still need to expand the court in order regain a majority , but it wouldn ’ t require adding as many judges – which could make it easier to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public opinion .
Of course all of this only matters if the Democrats win the White House , the Senate , and the House , so it ’ s added motivation for us to work even harder during these final seven days before election day .

Donald Trump wants out

When Donald Trump told his rally crowd last night that he wanted to take one of their pickup trucks and flee the scene , while whining about how he used to have “ such a good life , ” it was the second time in the past week that he ’ d mused about fleeing .
It ’ s a dead giveaway that Trump doesn ’ t want to be doing this .
He doesn ’ t want reelection .
He doesn ’ t want to be president .
He wants out .
It ’ s the latest reminder that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and clearly isn ’ t enjoying himself , is only running for reelection for two reasons .
If he ’ s no longer in office , he fears that 1 ) he ’ ll be put in prison for his various crimes , and 2 ) his financial house of cards will collapse .
It ’ s why he ’ s so ambivalent about campaigning , even when he ’ s doing it , as if he ’ s going through the motions .
Donald Trump knows he needs to win , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it , as if losing might come as a relief to him – even though it would mean his certain ruin .
So even as Trump sabotages himself by giving a half hearted effort , we can take advantage of it by putting 100 % of our effort into voter turnout during this final week .

When Donald Trump told his rally crowd last night that he wanted to take one of their pickup trucks and flee the scene, while whining about how he used to have “such a good life,” it was the second time in the past week that he’d mused about fleeing. It’s a dead giveaway that Trump doesn’t want to be doing this. He doesn’t want reelection. He doesn’t want to be president. He wants out.
It’s the latest reminder that Trump, who never wanted the job and clearly isn’t enjoying himself, is only running for reelection for two reasons. If he’s no longer in office, he fears that 1) he’ll be put in prison for his various crimes, and 2) his financial house of cards will collapse. It’s why he’s so ambivalent about campaigning, even when he’s doing it, as if he’s going through the motions.
Donald Trump knows he needs to win, but he seems to have mixed feelings about it, as if losing might come as a relief to him – even though it would mean his certain ruin. So even as Trump sabotages himself by giving a half hearted effort, we can take advantage of it by putting 100% of our effort into voter turnout during this final week.

Right now there are a number of hypothetical doomsday scenarios being floated about the Supreme Court stepping in and deciding the election. It this possible? Sure. It happened in 2000.

So this election is going to come down entirely to turnout. If we spend this final week staring at the TV and/or fretting all day about the outcome, then sure, it might end up being close enough for the court to meddle in.

Donald Trump campaign reportedly leaves supporters stranded in the cold after Omaha rally, several hospitalized

New polling suggests that Donald Trump ’ s recent campaign rallies , which involve few masks and no social distancing , are actually driving his poll numbers down .
That reaction may be about to get even more negative , based on what ’ s reportedly playing out after Trump ’ s Omaha rally tonight .
According to the Twitter account monitoring the Omaha police scanner , the Trump campaign bused thousands of people from the airport to the rally , but didn ’ t make any arrangement to have them bused back .
As a result some of them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weather or trying to make the nearly four mile trek back to the airport in the dark .
At last count thirty of them were in bad enough shape to need some form of medical attention , and seven of them have been taken to the hospital .
This tweet from the Omaha scanner sums up the chaos that the Trump campaign ’ s negligence has created : “ Waterloo Medic 811 enroute to Lil ’ Creighton Code 2 with a 68 y/o male who ’ s initial complaint was possible hypothermia and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people wandering in the cold unable to locate their vehicles and are taking them to various parking lots.
” So the Trump campaign bused people from the airport to his Omaha rally but never bused them back , literally left them out in the cold , and now some of them are in the hospital .
Keep in mind this is happening in a pandemic .
Trump is literally killing his own supporters .

New polling suggests that Donald Trump’s recent campaign rallies, which involve few masks and no social distancing, are actually driving his poll numbers down. That reaction may be about to get even more negative, based on what’s reportedly playing out after Trump’s Omaha rally tonight.
According to the Twitter account monitoring the Omaha police scanner, the Trump campaign bused thousands of people from the airport to the rally, but didn’t make any arrangement to have them bused back. As a result some of them have been standing out in the freezing weather or trying to make the nearly four mile trek back to the airport in the dark. At last count thirty of them were in bad enough shape to need some form of medical attention, and seven of them have been taken to the hospital.
This tweet from the Omaha scanner sums up the chaos that the Trump campaign’s negligence has created: “Waterloo Medic 811 enroute to Lil’ Creighton Code 2 with a 68 y/o male who’s initial complaint was possible hypothermia and altered mental status … Officers picking up people wandering in the cold unable to locate their vehicles and are taking them to various parking lots.”

Donald Trump keeps negligently holding campaign rallies with few masks and no social distancing. This not only puts attendees at risk; it puts the surrounding communities at risk. Trump gets off on this stuff, but is it actually helping him? It turns out it’s hurting him.
Priorities USA collected data on how Donald Trump’s unsafe rallies are influencing public opinion of him in battleground states. Turns out it’s making Trump less popular, not more popular:
Trump’s rallies are actually making voters in battleground states LESS favorable towards him. The numbers are even worse for Trump among persuadable voters. Here are the numbers from the latest polling from @prioritiesUSA. pic.twitter.com/Bo69F4851m — Guy Cecil (@guycecil) October 27, 2020
This is the latest reminder that Donald Trump doesn’t have some secret evil genius strategy. He’s just flailing around, feeding his own narcissism with these rallies, and trying to convince himself that it’ll all somehow magically work out just fine for him.
Meanwhile, here’s our chance to focus on voter turnout this week and make sure Trump loses by a mile, so any last minute election antics won’t be enough to make a difference in the outcome.

It ’ s never been difficult to figure out that these “ loans ” were likely the Kremlin ’ s way of laundering money to Trump .

Now it finally has – or at least part of it .
According to a new bombshell from the New York Times tonight , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bankrupt in 2008 , Deutsche Bank made a point of bailing out his failing Chicago property .
The Deutsche Bank employee who led the charge : Justin Kennedy , son of Anthony Kennedy , who abruptly retired in late 2018 so that Trump could put highly compromised Brett Kavanaugh in his place .
After the 2008 debacle , Deutsche Bank ended up cutting Trump off entirely .
But then in 2012 , another division of Deutsche Bank started buddying up to Trump , and even went so far as to loan him $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what he still owed to another division of Deutsche Bank .
There ’ s a lot to unpack here .
First , Donald Trump appears to have committed felony tax fraud by failing to report the forgiven loans as income .
Second , why did Anthony Kennedy abruptly retire when he did , giving Trump a major political victory just before the 2018 midterm elections ?

After the 2008 debacle, Deutsche Bank ended up cutting Trump off entirely. But then in 2012, another division of Deutsche Bank started buddying up to Trump, and even went so far as to loan him $99 million so he could pay off what he still owed to another division of Deutsche Bank.

The trouble is, the whole thing is still falling apart. Now Carlson appears to be trying to cover his tracks. In an unwittingly hilarious development, he’s claiming that his precious Hunter Biden evidence was somehow stolen while it was being mailed across the country:

Earlier today , former Trump administration official Miles Taylor revealed that he was the author of the 2018 op-ed which anonymously promised to rein in Donald Trump from within .
This was a disappointment to a number of observers , who were hoping that “ Anonymous ” would end up being someone closer to Trump with a bigger name .
But if most of you guess wrong about who Anonymous was , at least you didn ’ t guess as wrongly as Donald Trump did .
During his rally tonight , Trump said he was afraid it would be “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Mike Lee , or Rand Paul.
” Here ’ s the thing : at the time the op-ed was published , the New York Times identified the author as a “ senior official in the Trump administration.
” Yet Trump apparently missed this part , or didn ’ t understand what it meant , because he had two Senators on his list of possible culprits .
Donald Trump spent significant time rage tweeting about the anonymous op-ed and demanding that the White House investigate the person ’ s identity .

Donald Trump has done everything he can to whip up an October surprise that might help him coast to re-election, but try as he might, he just can’t seem to keep the election from being a referendum on his own criminal administration, his catastrophic policies, and his own incompetence. In fact, his desperate attempts to find something that sticks has only managed to underscore the incompetence factor, since he’s lashing out at his own administration for not doing enough to help him win. It’s even worse that there’s been a non-stop avalanche of embarrassing information about Trump’s own scandals dropping since he talked Rudy into running with this half-baked scheme.
Now an audio clip from 2015 has resurfaced that’s especially problematic for Donald Trump – and it doesn’t even involve him directly. Just before the 2016 election got off the ground, Kayleigh McEnany, current press secretary and Trump’s official PR voice, gave an interview on AM radio where she revealed exactly why Donald Trump feared having to run against Joe Biden. Before Biden ruled out a 2016 run and before Trump was the nominee, McEnany opined: “I think the Republicans run into a problem if is Joe Biden and if it is maybe a Trump on the other side, because Joe Biden, one of the things he is remarkable at is really kind of being a man of the people and resonating with middle class voters…His gaffes — as much as we make fun of them — to a certain extent they make him look human.”
Although she’s known for lying pathologically on her boss’ behalf, McEnany told the truth at the time – and preemptively gave away the game plan that the Trump administration has been running with through 2020: make Joe Biden unlikable. It would be pretty hard to do, even if he weren’t running against Donald Trump, something she also admits to in the interview. It’s hard to say if Trump knows of this clip’s existence or not, but now his game plan has been given away – in case it wasn’t obvious already, and its resurfacing is likely to only add to increasing tensions in an already volatile White House.

palmerreport--2020-10-28--Rudy Giuliani associate suddenly decides to plead guilty just before election day

All along we ’ ve been waiting to see if the SDNY would arrest Rudy Giuliani before or after the election .
There are plenty of variables at play .
For instance , arresting Giuliani now could increase the odds of Donald Trump pardoning him on his way out the door .
In addition , there are seemingly a number of potential cooperating witnesses in play .
Now an interesting piece of the puzzle is starting to come together .
Most people recall Rudy Giuliani ’ s associates Lev and Igor being famously arrested a year ago , but they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Another Giuliani associate , David Correia , was also arrested at the time – and now , according to Law & Crime , he ’ s decided to plead guilty tomorrow .
So what ’ s going on ?
The short answer is that we don ’ t know .
It ’ s not even clear yet if Correia is cooperating or if he ’ s simply pleading guilty .
And if he is cooperating , it ’ s not clear if he ’ d be cooperating against Lev , Igor , Rudy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Parnas has publicly come out strongly against Rudy and Donald Trump , but it ’ s not clear if or when he might cut a deal .
There are a lot of potential moving parts here , and we ’ re not even close to having a full picture .
But it has to mean something that an associate of the personal attorney to the President of the United States has suddenly decided to plead guilty immediately before the election , instead of waiting until after .
Something is afoot .

Now an interesting piece of the puzzle is starting to come together. Most people recall Rudy Giuliani’s associates Lev and Igor being famously arrested a year ago, but they weren’t the only ones. Another Giuliani associate, David Correia, was also arrested at the time – and now, according to Law & Crime, he’s decided to plead guilty tomorrow. So what’s going on?
The short answer is that we don’t know. It’s not even clear yet if Correia is cooperating or if he’s simply pleading guilty. And if he is cooperating, it’s not clear if he’d be cooperating against Lev, Igor, Rudy, or all of them. Lev Parnas has publicly come out strongly against Rudy and Donald Trump, but it’s not clear if or when he might cut a deal. There are a lot of potential moving parts here, and we’re not even close to having a full picture.
But it has to mean something that an associate of the personal attorney to the President of the United States has suddenly decided to plead guilty immediately before the election, instead of waiting until after. Something is afoot. We’ll see what it ends up being.

palmerreport--2020-10-28--This is a strange strategy for Donald Trump

Donald Trump continues to believe , or at least his posture is , that the coronavirus is merely a political tool designed to harm him in the upcoming election .
It is a strange strategy for sure , with few if any buying his bull .
On Wednesday , Trump tweeted : “ Covid , Covid , Covid is the unified chant of the Fake News Lamestream Media .
They will talk about nothing else until November 4th.
, when the Election will be ( hopefully ! )
over .
Then the talk will be how low the death rate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ & many tests of young people.
” He keeps showing that he does not care about any of us in the United States , regardless of whether they support him not .
He showed that against on Tuesday night .
After bussing attendees to his Omaha rally , Trump took off on Air Force One and went home , while hundreds or more of his supporters were left to figure out how to navigate back to their cars in the cold , with some ending up hospitalized .
The pandemic is not going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we had around 500,000 new positive cases , a record for seven days since the pandemic began .
We need to make it clear on November 3 that Trump is fired .
He ’ s failed on many fronts , but as important as anything else , more than 200,000 of our fellow Americans are no longer with us in this great nation .

palmerreport--2020-10-28--Trump’s hunt for red October

Trump’s hunt for red October

What kind of Republican presidential candidate holds rallies ( of the Nuremberg-variety ) in October of an election year where he brags about the kind of poll numbers he ’ s getting from West Virginia and Utah ?
What kind of presidential candidate is still obsessed with crowd size from his inauguration three and one half whole years after the inauguration ended ?
What kind of presidential candidate complains about a worldwide pandemic , sarcastically saying , “ COVID !
COVID !
COVID !
, ” in the midst of a rally , as if the death of 232,084 Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than a thousand deaths in the last 24 hours ) is becoming tedious ?
I ’ ll tell you what kind .
Donald Trump .
And he ’ s losing .
Donald Trump ’ s desperate hunt for red October is a pathetic signal that he ’ s losing and he knows it .
The stale slogan to “ Make America Great Again ” is redolent of an outsider looking in .
But Trump is no longer the outsider .
He ’ s been in charge for almost four years and every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unique disasters .
In 2017 Trump showed us who he loves when sided with white supremacists at Charlottesville .
In 2018 he showed us who he ’ s working for when he betrayed America ’ s intelligence communities by siding with Vladimir Putin at Helsinki .
In 2019 he showed us to what depths he was willing to sink when he tried to steal the 2020 election by collusion with Ukraine — and he got impeached for his efforts .
In 2020 Trump has shown us that he ’ s tired of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ victory over it rather than do any actual work .
Meanwhile the United States has twenty percent of the world ’ s pandemic deaths with only 2.4 percent of the world ’ s population .
Meanwhile a religious fascist has been confirmed to the Supreme Court of the United States , meanwhile another person of color has been summarily executed by “ peace officers ” in Philadelphia , meanwhile one thousand and thirty-nine Americans have died in the last 24 hours from COVID-19 .
Donald Trump ’ s biggest worry these days is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coddle him with softball questions like the ones she gave Joe Biden , whom she didn ’ t even interview .
As usual , everything is about Donald Trump .
For Trump the presidency has been one continuous appeasement of his ego , and he clearly doesn ’ t give a crap about anything else .
Donald Trump ’ s hunt for red October will be a failure , a bankruptcy , like everything else he ’ s done in his pathetic life .

palmerreport--2020-10-28--George Conway says “Anonymous” is about to come out against Donald Trump

Two years ago a “ senior official in the Trump administration ” wrote an op-ed in the New York Times , ripping Donald Trump to pieces , and keeping his or her identity a secret in the process .
The Times knows who this person is , but to this day , none of us do .
Speculation was all over the map , but the story ended up fading .
But now it ’ s back .
George Conway tweeted this today : “ I had an amazing conversation this morning with … Anonymous .
Anonymous is a true @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hearing a lot more from this person very , very soon.
” He posted a link to the 2018 New York Times op-ed , leaving no doubt that he ’ s referring to the “ Anonymous ” who wrote it .
When former Trump aide AJ Delgado criticized this person for having remained anonymous for so long , Conway retorted with “ Anonymous has shown a lot of fortitude .
You ’ ll see.
” So this raises a number of questions .
First , who is Anonymous ?
Because George Conway is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s led a number of people to suspect that he ’ s referring to Kellyanne Conway .
But it seems odd that he would phrase his tweet this way if he were referring to his wife ; it sounds like he just found out who Anonymous is .
There is also the question of whether Anonymous still works in the White House ; most of Trump ’ s advisers and officials with recognizable names from 2018 have since resigned or been fired .
But the most intriguing question may be what it means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lot of fortitude.
” Is this person preparing to reveal evidence of how he or she sabotaged Trump ’ s worst instincts along the way ?
Finally , there ’ s the question of how much or little impact Anonymous can have by coming forward with less than a week remaining in the election cycle .
We ’ re of the belief that most of the early voters were already locked in to their particular candidate and weren ’ t going to be persuaded by any last minute bombshells anyway .
The people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely vote at the last minute if at all .
But still , Anonymous needs to get his or her story out there in the next day or two at the latest , so it can permeate through the news cycles and reach those last minute voters .

palmerreport--2020-10-28--Joe Biden slams Donald Trump for stranding his supporters out in the cold in Omaha

Last night Donald Trump and his campaign stranded hundreds ( or thousands , depending on the reporting ) of his own supporters in the freezing cold after his Omaha rally .
The campaign was supposed to provide buses back to the airport , but that didn ’ t happen , and several of them ended up in the hospital with hypothermia .
Either Donald Trump and his campaign are so broke they couldn ’ t afford the buses , or so negligent they couldn ’ t be bothered to take care of their own supporters , or some combination of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that a competent and legitimate presidential campaign would have let happen , and even if it did happen , it would have been addressed immediately instead of dragging on for hours as the police tried to sort it out .
During his speech in Wilmington today , Joe Biden slammed the incident for being an “ image that captures President Trump ’ s whole approach to this crisis.
” Biden is right .
Trump literally leaving his supporters out in the cold fits right in with how he ’ s left everyone to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he keeps trying to take away people ’ s health care .

During his speech in Wilmington today, Joe Biden slammed the incident for being an “image that captures President Trump’s whole approach to this crisis.” Biden is right.

palmerreport--2020-10-28--Forces are aligning against Donald Trump and he knows it

One of “ president ” Donald Trump ’ s favorite arguments against Joe Biden is that he will destroy the economy and the financial world as we know it .
Trump seems to be the only one feeling that way .
According to Politico , Wall Street is practically “ giddy ” about a possible Biden win .
Wall Street investors are betting on a “ blue wave ” across the board , which they believe means a stimulus package that will inject strength into a flailing economy .
They have even gone so far as to predict the stimulus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Further fueling the giddiness , Wall Street CEOs , traders , and investment managers “ would be fine ” with a change in the White House that “ reduces the Trump noise , lowers the threat of further trade wars and ensures continuing of the government spending they ’ ve seen in recent years , ” Politico reported .
Joseph Brusuelas , chief economist at consulting firm RSM US , told Politico : “ Firms and investors crave stable expectations and that is how the Street is interpreting a likely Biden victory.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Street will fully embrace a Biden win if Democrats also take the Senate , eliminating the risk of deadlocked votes on policy initiatives and the passage of a stimulus bill .
A divided Congress and Republican Senate would not be the best thing for Wall Street and would leave Mitch McConnell in charge to block Biden ’ s policies just as he did with Obama .
The tipping point could well be Donald Trump himself as he continues to ignore COVID and make speeches like the ones he made in Pennsylvania .
Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ promises “ doom and gloom and depression , ” according to Intelligencer .
No , Biden brings truth , and truth is sometimes hard to face .
What good is “ optimism ” when it is based on false assertions ?
Getting hopes up only to have them dashed is worse than giving people the truth .
Trump , however , loves to lie and is the one creating the very “ doom and gloom ” of which he complains .
Take , for example , his claim at one of the Pennsylvania @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be no air conditioning in the summer and no heat in the winter .
Where does he get this stuff ?
In Allentown , Trump told the people that he would love to “ just drive the hell out of here , just get the hell out of this.
” Oh , how we wish he would .
When everyone was puzzled by his comments , he went on and on about what a “ good life ” he had prior to taking the presidency .
Hardly .
Trump has made a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including $ 40.8 million in profit from the Trump Hotel and charging the Secret Service up to $ 650 per night at Mar-a-Lago .
No , Donald Trump wants to retain the presidency to continue lining his pockets , continue deceiving on the dangers of COVID-19 , and continue to wreak havoc .

One of “president” Donald Trump’s favorite arguments against Joe Biden is that he will destroy the economy and the financial world as we know it. Trump seems to be the only one feeling that way. According to Politico, Wall Street is practically “giddy” about a possible Biden win. Wall Street investors are betting on a “blue wave” across the board, which they believe means a stimulus package that will inject strength into a flailing economy. They have even gone so far as to predict the stimulus will be $3 trillion or more.
Further fueling the giddiness, Wall Street CEOs, traders, and investment managers “would be fine” with a change in the White House that “reduces the Trump noise, lowers the threat of further trade wars and ensures continuing of the government spending they’ve seen in recent years,” Politico reported. Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at consulting firm RSM US, told Politico: “Firms and investors crave stable expectations and that is how the Street is interpreting a likely Biden victory.” As are we all.

When everyone was puzzled by his comments, he went on and on about what a “good life” he had prior to taking the presidency. Hardly. Trump has made a fortune off his “presidency,” including $40.8 million in profit from the Trump Hotel and charging the Secret Service up to $650 per night at Mar-a-Lago.

Earlier today the news broke that back in April, Jared Kushner bragged on tape to Bob Woodward that Donald Trump had succeeded in wresting control of the pandemic away from doctors and scientists. This is a horrifying admission, and it helps explain why more than 200,000 Americans and counting are now needlessly dead in a pandemic.
Congresswoman Katie Porter appeared on the Lawrence O’Donnell show on MSNBC on Wednesday night and ripped Kushner a new one: “That’s a truly terrifying concept and we’ve seen that it has tragic consequences … when we allow politicians to hijack research and data.”
Katie Porter also cautioned everyone not to get too overhyped about election night. She tweeted this: “With less than a week until Election Day, it’s important to remember that results aren’t always ready that night. It’s crucial our election officials work meticulously to make sure every American’s voice is heard. I know (from personal experience) that this may take a few days.”

palmerreport--2020-10-29--Looks like Donald Trump’s campaign people really are just feeding him lies about how well he’s doing

Donald Trump loves to quote polls that don ’ t exist .
Campaigns do have internal polls that can sometimes show modestly different results than public polls .
But the “ polls ” that Trump likes to quote are often a million proverbial miles away from what any polling outlet is saying .
It ’ s always suggested that Trump ’ s failing campaign people have merely been feeding him imaginary poll numbers to make him think he ’ s doing better than he is , so he won ’ t figure out he ’ s losing and fire them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seem to be moving on to a new phase : feeding him false information about the election-related court rulings that are going against him .
Today the Supreme Court once again rejected the Trump/GOP argument for curtailing the counting of mail-in ballots , with Amy Coney Barrett interestingly recusing herself .
In response to the news , Trump ’ s Deputy Campaign Manager Justin Clark tweeted this : “ Major decision protecting voting rights in PENNSYLVANIA .
Ballots received after Election Day will NOT be counted .
More to come but BIG WIN @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is so obviously false , Twitter quickly covered it up with a warning label that said “ Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process.
” The question is why Clark would even post something like this .
If he simply read the decision wrong , he ’ d likely have deleted his tweet by now in order to minimize the embarrassment .
Instead he ’ s still trying to double down on it in subsequent tweets , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out there .
To be clear , there is nothing to be gained by feeding this particular lie to the public at this time , as it ’ s not the kind of misinformation that would trick someone into screwing up and not having their vote counted .
Instead , the most plausible explanation here is that Clark is simply playing to an audience of one : Donald Trump .
He wants Trump to believe that he won today ’ s Supreme Court ruling , so Trump will believe that his campaign is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s not clear what the endgame is .
If Donald Trump loses next week as expected , his campaign people will be out of work anyway .
But we suppose that if you ’ re going to run a grift of a presidential campaign whose main goal is to trick the delusional candidate into thinking he ’ s winning so he won ’ t interrupt the grift , you might as well see it through all the way to the end .

palmerreport--2020-10-29--Judge Emmet Sullivan drops the hammer on Donald Trump’s Post Office antics

With just five days until the end of the election , experts across the board are now warning that it ’ s too late to put your ballot in the mail .
If you haven ’ t already mailed it , you ’ ll need to drop it off at a ballot box , or vote early in person , or vote in person on election day .
But what about those ballots that have already been mailed ?
It turns out there ’ s good news on that front .
Judge Emmet Sullivan – yes , the same Judge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Barr from letting Michael Flynn off the hook – has now intervened in the Post Office debacle .
He ’ s unilaterally reversed all the changes that Trump ’ s guy Louis DeJoy made , and he ’ s ordered the Post Office to provide him with daily updates about the progress of the corrective action .
In other words , Judge Sullivan has essentially taken over the Post Office .
Because he ’ s ordering Post Office workers to follow his instructions , they ’ re likely to do so , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of court .
This does a lot to neuter DeJoy ’ s ability to keep trying to screw with the election .
It will also help get other essential mail services , such as prescription drug deliveries , back on track .

How badly are the Republican conspiracy theories about Joe Biden and his family falling apart ?
Trump apologist Tucker Carlson is now reduced to claiming , apparently with a straight face , that his evidence was stolen in the mail .
Now Donald Trump is completely melting down about how the entire phony story has failed .
Tonight Trump tweeted this : “ Why isn ’ t Biden corruption trending number one on Twitter ?
Biggest world story , and nowhere to be found .
There is no ” trend ” , only negative stories that Twitter wants to put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clear , Twitter trends are based on an algorithm about how many times a given word or topic is being mentioned in tweets .
It ’ s not as if Twitter has a group of employees in a basement somewhere deciding what trends and what doesn ’ t .

Trump is just bummed out that he couldn ’ t get his hallucinatory nonsense to catch on outside of @ @ @ @

palmerreport--2020-10-30--Tucker Carlson’s ‘package stolen in the mail’ story takes another bizarre turn

Last night Tucker Carlson announced – with a straight face – that his super secret incriminating evidence against Hunter Biden had been stolen while it was in the mail .
No one believed him , both because it ’ s a ridiculous story , and because he ’ s not an honest person .
Now the story has taken another bizarre turn .
Tonight , Tucker Carlson announced on his show that his stolen package had suddenly reappeared .
No really , he said this .
Hate to tell you , but if a package was “ stolen ” from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in your hands , that means it wasn ’ t stolen .
At worst it means the package wasn ’ t adequately tracked while in transit , which has become a fairly common occurrence during the pandemic .
In other words , no mysterious forces stole Tucker Carlson ’ s super secret evidence .
This brings us back to our original question .
Carlson ’ s story is that he and his team already had this evidence in hand , and they were simply mailing it across the country to themselves .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ massive international scandal , why would they not have made a copy before shipping it ?
No one is that careless and stupid , not even people who work for Fox News .
In any case , even Donald Trump seems to have largely moved on from the phony Hunter Biden scandal , because he ’ s seen that no one outside his base is going to fall for it .
Yet Carlson keeps trying to find ways to keep it going .
It ’ s a reminder that someone like Carlson shouldn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

In any case, even Donald Trump seems to have largely moved on from the phony Hunter Biden scandal, because he’s seen that no one outside his base is going to fall for it.

Earlier this week Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff brilliantly mopped the floor with Republican Senator David Perdue during their debate in the Georgia Senate race .

Perdue is now blowing off the next debate scheduled to take place on Sunday .
His excuse is that he ’ s attending a Trump rally in Georgia instead .
It ’ s awfully convenient @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rally in the precise timeframe that gave Perdue an excuse to bail on the debate .
Jon Ossoff tweeted this in response : “ BREAKING : Senator Perdue just cancelled our final debate .
At last night ’ s debate , millions saw that Perdue had no answers when I called him out on his record of blatant corruption , widespread disease , and economic devastation .
Shame on you , Senator.

palmerreport--2020-10-30--Looks like Hillary Clinton is about to get her revenge on Donald Trump

“ I ’ m sure I ’ ll get to vote for Joe ( Biden ) and ( Sen. Kamala Harris ) in New York .
So , that ’ s pretty exciting , ” it sounds about what you ’ d expect from a Sirius Radio interview with a typical New York voter who ’ s made up their mind about who to vote for – but the voter in this particular interview happened to be former Secretary of State and presidential candidate , Hillary Clinton .
Oh , and she wasn ’ t talking about just voting in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since she already endorsed Joe and Kamala months ago at the convention .
She revealed in this particular interview , that she ’ ll literally be one of the 538 electors who votes directly for the next president and vice president of the United States , representing the state of New York in the electoral college .
House Republicans thought to mock her on her birthday by confirming Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court , someone who is the polar opposite of Secretary Clinton and everything she ’ s fought for .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ have timed it too soon – giving Hillary the last laugh in the end .
This means , though , that if you feel you didn ’ t do enough to support her bid for the presidency in 2016 and you live in New York , you ’ re actually voting for her again – when you cast your vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris .
It also means that a few Republicans may not feel so comfortable defending the antiquated Electoral College system that ’ s the only thing keeping them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ story ever comes across Donald Trump .
Let ’ s make her proud by drawing out as many voters as we can for Democrats down the ballot by voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on November 3 – and if we do , the December gathering of the Electoral College to finalize the results could be an even more miserable day for Donald Trump than Election Day .

It turns out “ Typhoon Investigations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and “ Martin Aspen ” isn ’ t a real person .

Donald Trump saw the water being sprayed , and according @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he said “ Are they friend or foe ?

In other words , Trump was apparently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Also , how far removed from reality is he that he doesn ’ t know first responders sometimes spray mist on outdoor crowds during hot events when people are passing out ?

At one point the first responders began spraying a water hose on the crowd to keep them cool and safe. Donald Trump saw the water being sprayed, and according to the White House pool report, he said “Are they friend or foe? … Let’s find out if they’re friend or foe. And if they’re foe, let’s take care of those sonofabitches.”
There are some different interpretations of what he meant, but to us it sounds like he was confused about what the hose was for, thought it might have been coming from protesters, and urged his supporters to attack them if they were protesters. In other words, Trump was apparently trying to incite a violent brawl.
Also, how far removed from reality is he that he doesn’t know first responders sometimes spray mist on outdoor crowds during hot events when people are passing out? Has he never been to an outdoor event in his life? Just how weird is this guy?
