No wonder Donald Trump is losing

If Donald Trump had any idea what he was doing , he ’ d be making up phony yet easily believable scandals about Joe Biden .
He ’ d go with pedestrian things that the average person might fall for .
Instead Trump is pushing conspiracy theories that border on science fiction , that only his idiot base would believe .
No wonder he ’ s losing .
In fact Trump gave something away last night when he used the phrase “ hard drive from hell ” to describe the phony Hunter Biden laptop scandal .
It ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the day before .
Trump is just up there repeating whatever incoherent lunacy Rudy is feeding him .
Trump and Rudy are the same half-senile criminal idiot .
Trump has clearly gotten worse at this over the past four years .
But let ’ s not forget that he was never any good at it to begin with .
He was only able to get anywhere with the phony Hillary Clinton email scandal because the GOP had already been laying the groundwork for it before he came along , and because the media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they could milk it for ratings , and because Comey ’ s last minute letter upended everything .
Short of all that help , Trump wouldn ’ t have gotten anywhere in 2016 either .
He sucks at this , and he ’ s always sucked at this .
It ’ s just that no one is propping up his favorite phony scandals this time around .

In fact Trump gave something away last night when he used the phrase “hard drive from hell” to describe the phony Hunter Biden laptop scandal. It’s the same phrase that Rudy Giuliani had tweeted the day before. Trump is just up there repeating whatever incoherent lunacy Rudy is feeding him. Trump and Rudy are the same half-senile criminal idiot.

Donald Trump was supposed to be holding a press conference today about an imaginary new Middle East peace deal, but as usual, Trump couldn’t stay on message. When he started getting questions about last night’s calamitous debate, he ended up making a complete fool of himself.
At one point during his press conference today, Trump announced that he won the debate with 91% support. As Palmer Report pointed out last night, Trump is merely quoting a Twitter poll of all things, which is the rough equivalent of polling your friends and expecting a scientific result. This kind of thing just makes him look like a desperate delusional fool.
Donald Trump also claimed today that he’s secretly winning in states that no one knows about, which offers some insight into the kind of false hope that Trump’s handlers are feeding him in these final days in order to keep him from completely falling apart.

Joe Biden just hit it out the park

Back in the day , baseball legend Ted Williams went into the final day of the season with a .39955 batting average .
He could have sat out that day and allowed his average to be rounded up to .400 for the season .
Instead he decided to play on the final day , and played well , and finished with a .401 batting average .
Last night Joe Biden found himself in something of a similar situation .
He ’ s already up ten points nationwide in the polling averages .
He didn ’ t need this debate .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ debate breaking the rules and then bailed on the second debate altogether , gave Biden every excuse to blow off the final debate .
But Joe Biden had the well placed self confidence to show up for the debate , knowing he ’ d face completely asinine false accusations about his son , and he won the debate handily .
This is what you want in a leader .
Biden knew he had the upper hand , and instead of packing it in , he played to win – and he indeed won @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to work as hard as we can to drive voter turnout during these final eleven days .

Last night Joe Biden found himself in something of a similar situation. He’s already up ten points nationwide in the polling averages. He didn’t need this debate. Donald Trump, who spent the first debate breaking the rules and then bailed on the second debate altogether, gave Biden every excuse to blow off the final debate.
But Joe Biden had the well placed self confidence to show up for the debate, knowing he’d face completely asinine false accusations about his son, and he won the debate handily. This is what you want in a leader. Biden knew he had the upper hand, and instead of packing it in, he played to win – and he indeed won. Now it’s our job to work as hard as we can to drive voter turnout during these final eleven days.

palmerreport--2020-10-23--This is a disaster for Donald Trump

This is a disaster for Donald Trump

It can not be overstated that Joe Biden didn ’ t have to do Thursday night ’ s debate .
Biden was already so far ahead in the polls that he had nothing to lose by bowing out .
He could have even done so with a minimum loss of face .
After all , refusing a debate with a chronic late night hate-tweeter , liar , rapist and racist is hardly something that requires much justification .
Donald Trump is an awful man , and I wouldn ’ t blame anyone for not wanting to be in the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden kept making during the debate — possibly the most valuable point Biden made the whole night — was that he doesn ’ t see blue states and red states , he sees American states .
If elected Biden plans to be , in stark contrast to the late night hate-tweeting toddler , the President of the United States of America .
In order to win Biden just had to show up and make no major mistakes .
He did better than that .
He demolished Donald Trump and showed him up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we all know him to be .
My only major frustration was that Biden didn ’ t chase Trump down on the question of Trump ’ s tax returns .
It ’ s baffling to me that no one does .
Biden pointed out that he released 22 years of his own tax returns and Donald Trump won ’ t release even one year of his .
Trump resorted to the same tired lie he always falls back on to justify the breaking of his promise , the one where he said if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump said he will release them “ soon ” but that he can ’ t because he ’ s still under audit .
That ’ s a lie , and we know it ’ s a lie because the head of the Internal Revenue Service said so , under oath .
The IRS chief said that Trump can release his returns whether or not he ’ s under audit .
The one has nothing to do with the other .
Why no one holds Trump ’ s feet to the fire over this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s comment that “ kids in cages are very well taken care of ” may have been the tonedeaf statement of the evening .
First of all the kids who were separated from their asylum-seeking parents are being treated abysmally .
Second , that they are still in cages is an ongoing crime against humanity , one so dire that , as soon as the American criminal justice system is done with Trump for his economic malfeasance and other crimes , he should be put on trial for crimes against humanity at The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America is going to flatten the curve on coronavirus this winter and that there will be a vaccine soon are lies .
Those two statements are contradicted by both by the current statistical reality and Trump ’ s own previous words on those subjects .
As I write this , 228,381 Americans are now dead from coronavirus , almost a thousand more than I reported in my Thursday article .
And we know that Trump has drastically understated the peril from coronavirus because he told Bob Woodward as much .
Trump said he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heads of many countries ” because of his response to coronavirus , an obvious lie .
What head of any country in his or her right mind would congratulate a leader of a nation with 4.2 % of the world ’ s population but more than 20 % of the world ’ s coronavirus deaths ?
Not one , and it ’ s no accident that Trump didn ’ t name any of the congratulating “ many.
” Trump ’ s baseless , conspiracy theory-laden lies about Joe Biden and his “ corrupt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and possibly may have done him harm .
The only people who lapped it up were people who were going to vote for him anyway .
Trump ’ s shameful record on climate change probably didn ’ t help either .
Again he resorted to wild claims that Joe Biden is going to destroy the oil industry .
This is the point where a certain subtlety of mind and an aversion to sound bite mentality is required .
Biden isn ’ t going to destroy the oil industry , he ’ s going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s America ’ s future and eventually phase it out in preference to cleaner , sustainable industries .
But that ’ s too subtle for a Trump supporter , who again is going to vote for Trump anyway , so there ’ s no net gain for Trump .
It ’ s clear Trump still has nothing to replace the Affordable Care Act with and that he only wants to replace it because he hates Barack Obama because Obama is black .
Trump is desperate to get rid of this powerful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too shabby or transparent in the service of that goal .
On balance I thought the moderator , Kristen Walker , did a marvelous job .
She was fair but kept strict accounting to the timetable .
It ’ s also telling that Trump was on better behavior this time .
Trump ’ s handlers must have finally gotten through to him and convinced him that his scenery-chewing chessboard-flipping ways were not a good look and were going to hurt his re-election chances .
This was a good debate for Joe Biden , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump needed a miracle and he spectacularly failed to deliver .
I ’ m delighted it happened , because it probably added votes to the blue column in the battleground states where they are very much needed .
No only did Trump lose but we learned two things during the debate .
The first is that Trump was unwilling to do the preparation work necessary to give him a desperately needed win in the debate , and second that his handlers are either incompetent or unable to convince him of that necessity .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the final nail in the Trump coffin .
And , as ever , ladies and gentlemen , brothers and sisters , comrades and friends , stay safe .

It cannot be overstated that Joe Biden didn’t have to do Thursday night’s debate. Biden was already so far ahead in the polls that he had nothing to lose by bowing out. He could have even done so with a minimum loss of face. After all, refusing a debate with a chronic late night hate-tweeter, liar, rapist and racist is hardly something that requires much justification. Donald Trump is an awful man, and I wouldn’t blame anyone for not wanting to be in the same room with him.
But a point Joe Biden kept making during the debate — possibly the most valuable point Biden made the whole night — was that he doesn’t see blue states and red states, he sees American states. If elected Biden plans to be, in stark contrast to the late night hate-tweeting toddler, the President of the United States of America.
In order to win Biden just had to show up and make no major mistakes. He did better than that. He demolished Donald Trump and showed him up to be the liar and cheater that we all know him to be.

Trump’s comment that “kids in cages are very well taken care of” may have been the tonedeaf statement of the evening. First of all the kids who were separated from their asylum-seeking parents are being treated abysmally. Second, that they are still in cages is an ongoing crime against humanity, one so dire that, as soon as the American criminal justice system is done with Trump for his economic malfeasance and other crimes, he should be put on trial for crimes against humanity at The Hague.
Trump’s claim that America is going to flatten the curve on coronavirus this winter and that there will be a vaccine soon are lies. Those two statements are contradicted by both by the current statistical reality and Trump’s own previous words on those subjects.
As I write this, 228,381 Americans are now dead from coronavirus, almost a thousand more than I reported in my Thursday article. And we know that Trump has drastically understated the peril from coronavirus because he told Bob Woodward as much.

What head of any country in his or her right mind would congratulate a leader of a nation with 4.2% of the world’s population but more than 20% of the world’s coronavirus deaths? Not one, and it’s no accident that Trump didn’t name any of the congratulating “many.”
Trump’s baseless, conspiracy theory-laden lies about Joe Biden and his “corrupt family” certainly did him no good and possibly may have done him harm. The only people who lapped it up were people who were going to vote for him anyway.
Trump’s shameful record on climate change probably didn’t help either. Again he resorted to wild claims that Joe Biden is going to destroy the oil industry. This is the point where a certain subtlety of mind and an aversion to sound bite mentality is required. Biden isn’t going to destroy the oil industry, he’s going to stop investing in it as if it’s America’s future and eventually phase it out in preference to cleaner, sustainable industries. But that’s too subtle for a Trump supporter, who again is going to vote for Trump anyway, so there’s no net gain for Trump.
It’s clear Trump still has nothing to replace the Affordable Care Act with and that he only wants to replace it because he hates Barack Obama because Obama is black. Trump is desperate to get rid of this powerful Obama legacy, and no lie is too shabby or transparent in the service of that goal.

Now it begins

That ’ s when he ’ s going to realize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the election , unless he can find a way to really shake things up .
Keep in mind that Trump ’ s definition of “ shaking things up ” consists of sending a stooge like John Ratcliffe out there to give a confusing statement that has everyone scratching their heads about what ’ s even going on .
It ’ s not as if Trump has some kind of secret evil genius magic wand up his sleeve , and now he ’ s just going to wave it and get back into contention @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see the truly stupid part of the election play out .
Donald Trump is eleven days away from losing an election that will result in his assets being seized , his family being torn apart , and him being locked in prison for the rest of his life – and he knows it .

If Trump hasn’t already figured out that the debate went poorly for him, he’ll figure it out once he hears everyone in the media (except Fox News) saying as much. That’s when he’s going to realize that he’s now basically lost the election, unless he can find a way to really shake things up.
Keep in mind that Trump’s definition of “shaking things up” consists of sending a stooge like John Ratcliffe out there to give a confusing statement that has everyone scratching their heads about what’s even going on. It’s not as if Trump has some kind of secret evil genius magic wand up his sleeve, and now he’s just going to wave it and get back into contention.
But we’re about to see the truly stupid part of the election play out. Donald Trump is eleven days away from losing an election that will result in his assets being seized, his family being torn apart, and him being locked in prison for the rest of his life – and he knows it. We’ll see even more unhinged conspiracy theories, even more half baked stunts, even more idiocy. Our job is to keep a level head and remain focused on driving voter turnout, so we can finish this guy off.

Few television journalists have made as big of a career comeback as Brian Williams, now host of the 11th Hour on MSNBC. He’s developed a habit of embedding some well placed sarcasm into his reporting – and tonight he managed to hit Donald Trump in a way that not even viewers saw coming.
Check out this clip of Brian Williams, and see if you can predict the punchline:
This is fantastic because it’s both funny and true. The video clip is already going viral on social media, and it’s helping to remind the voting public that Donald Trump has spent the past four years pretending to have an Obamacare replacement up his sleeve, but he’s been lying the entire time.

– Donald Trump tried to get embattled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to attack Biden, but he refused to do it. Netanyahu knows he’ll likely be dealing with Biden in a few months anyway. It’s a reminder that when corrupt politicians like Trump and Netanyahu are circling the drain, they have absolutely no loyalty to each other – no matter how much they’ve passed themselves off as friends.
– Now that Trump has lost all the debates, does he still get a participation trophy? Oh wait, he failed to show up and participate in the second debate, so he doesn’t even get that.
– Tweet of the day, from Maya Harris: “I really, really, really want to elect the guy who has the plan to get this pandemic under control.”
– Tweet of the day #2, from MSNBC’s Tiffany Cross: “The president just said he doesn’t want to give #CovidRelief to democratic run states. Vote.”

palmerreport--2020-10-24--Donald Trump has berserk meltdown after his secret Chinese bank account is exposed

Last night Donald Trump lost the final presidential debate for quite a number of reasons .
One of them was that he had absolutely no explanation for his recently exposed secret Chinese bank account , which was used to funnel $ 15 million directly to him in 2017 .
Now Trump is going berserk about it all , and trying to project the fact that he ’ s a Chinese puppet onto Joe Biden : Joe Biden is a corrupt politician and he ’ s COMPROMISED .
China is desperate for Biden to win because if Biden Wins , CHINA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This corruption is EXACTLY why I decided to run for President in the first place .
For years , I watched one betrayal after another , as politicians like Joe Biden sold out American Workers at every turn—shattering the lives of millions of American families while THEIR families raked in millions of dollars .
I could not sit by and watch THEM take advantage of YOU anymore .
They are coming after me because I am standing in their way , and standing guard for this Country we LOVE !
Well okay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what ’ s more embarrassing , the sheer extent of the hyperbole or the fact that he ’ s presenting absolutely no evidence to back up his false claims .
Meanwhile , the notion that Trump only ran for president because he couldn ’ t stand to watch politicians take advantage of the little guy ?
Absolutely laughable .
Trump has spent his entire life ripping off the little guy .
Trump has no closing message .
No wonder he ’ s losing .

Well okay then. We’re not sure what’s more embarrassing, the sheer extent of the hyperbole or the fact that he’s presenting absolutely no evidence to back up his false claims.

palmerreport--2020-10-25--President Obama just destroyed Donald Trump

President Barack Obama was always going to step to the plate in a big way for Joe Biden during this election cycle .
The pandemic has forced Obama to go to some creative lengths to pull it off .
Earlier this week he was seen walking the sidewalk with a bullhorn .
Today he held a drive-in rally in Florida , complete with car horn honking in lieu of applause – and despite the odd format , it ended up making for riveting television .
President Obama laid into Donald Trump for his failures , his lies , his corruption @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Obama harped on the fact that Trump has utterly failed to do anything about the pandemic that ’ s killed hundreds of thousands of Americans .
He called out Trump for telling people to ingest bleach .
He riffed on Trump ’ s secret Chinese bank account .
What stood out during the rally was Obama ’ s willingness to simply make fun of Donald Trump for being – our words , not his – a pathetic loser .
At times it felt like Obama was doing a stand up comedy routine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Trump .
At one point Obama even pointed out that the mythical “ Florida man ” from many a negative headline would never do some of the ridiculous things that Trump is doing .
We believe this is the correct approach .
Donald Trump is a villain , and an evil one .
He ’ s a traitor .
He ’ s a mass murderer .
But he ’ s also a pathetic joke , and he can be defeated .
The fact that Trump is such a failure and punchline could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go ahead and vote against him .

Today he held a drive-in rally in Florida, complete with car horn honking in lieu of applause – and despite the odd format, it ended up making for riveting television.
President Obama laid into Donald Trump for his failures, his lies, his corruption, and his idiocy in equal measure. Obama harped on the fact that Trump has utterly failed to do anything about the pandemic that’s killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. He called out Trump for telling people to ingest bleach. He riffed on Trump’s secret Chinese bank account.
What stood out during the rally was Obama’s willingness to simply make fun of Donald Trump for being – our words, not his – a pathetic loser. At times it felt like Obama was doing a stand up comedy routine, with every punchline being a jab at Trump. At one point Obama even pointed out that the mythical “Florida man” from many a negative headline would never do some of the ridiculous things that Trump is doing.
We believe this is the correct approach. Donald Trump is a villain, and an evil one. He’s a traitor. He’s a mass murderer. But he’s also a pathetic joke, and he can be defeated. The fact that Trump is such a failure and punchline could be what motivates any remaining fence-sitters to go ahead and vote against him.

palmerreport--2020-10-25--The real reason Lisa Murkowski just screwed us all over

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski , ever the fence sitter , voted against moving forward with the Supreme Court confirmation vote for Amy Coney Barrett – but after that vote succeeded , Murkowski announced she ’ ll vote to confirm Barrett .
This is not particularly surprising .
Murkowski isn ’ t a particularly conservative Republican , but she ’ s long been a particularly awful one .

One way or the other , it surely has to do with her own reelection bid in 2022 .
Perhaps she thinks that pretending to split @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to voters in the middle ( it won ’ t ) .
Perhaps she thinks that her only shot at winning is if she keeps Mitch McConnell and his Super PAC happy ( she should ask Susan Collins how this worked out for her ) .
Or perhaps Murkowski just wants to make sure that if she loses , she ’ ll have kept the GOP special interests happy enough to land a lobbying job ( the Jeff Flake route ) .
But whatever the specific reason , Lisa Murkowski just put villainy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reelection in 2022 , we ’ re going to destroy her .
If she thinks she ’ s safe just because she ’ s a Republican in Alaska , she should take a look at how much trouble GOP Senator Dan Sullivan is facing in his current reelection bid .
We ’ ll take Murkowski down – but that ’ s two years away .
For now all we can do is focus on taking down the Republican villains who are up for reelection in ten days .

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, ever the fence sitter, voted against moving forward with the Supreme Court confirmation vote for Amy Coney Barrett – but after that vote succeeded, Murkowski announced she’ll vote to confirm Barrett. This is not particularly surprising. Murkowski isn’t a particularly conservative Republican, but she’s long been a particularly awful one.
So why is she doing this? One way or the other, it surely has to do with her own reelection bid in 2022. Perhaps she thinks that pretending to split the difference with her vote will appeal to voters in the middle (it won’t). Perhaps she thinks that her only shot at winning is if she keeps Mitch McConnell and his Super PAC happy (she should ask Susan Collins how this worked out for her). Or perhaps Murkowski just wants to make sure that if she loses, she’ll have kept the GOP special interests happy enough to land a lobbying job (the Jeff Flake route).
But whatever the specific reason, Lisa Murkowski just put villainy over country. When she runs for reelection in 2022, we’re going to destroy her. If she thinks she’s safe just because she’s a Republican in Alaska, she should take a look at how much trouble GOP Senator Dan Sullivan is facing in his current reelection bid. We’ll take Murkowski down – but that’s two years away. For now all we can do is focus on taking down the Republican villains who are up for reelection in ten days.

palmerreport--2020-10-25--Donald Trump has a whole new Twitter problem

In 2016 , Donald Trump made a lot of noise about the importance of taking cybersecurity seriously as President of the United States .
He electrified his base with relentless chants of “ Lock her up !
” as he tried to warn that Hillary Clinton ’ s alleged gross negligence when using technology would create major security risks for America .
In the meantime , an alarming hack just came to light that reminds us how Trump is the real security threat .
Victor Gevers , a Dutch security researcher , announced that he hacked into Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with unusual ease , according to a report from de Volkskrant .
By simply guessing the password ( “ maga2020 !
” ) , Gevers managed to gain full access without anyone ’ s knowledge or permission .
This put Gevers in the position of being able to impersonate the President of the United States by changing Trump ’ s profile , accessing his direct messages ( DMs ) , and even tweeting in a way that could cause confusion and chaos .
After trying for days to alert the White House about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finally contacted by the Secret Service .
His efforts apparently triggered a change in Trump ’ s password and the adoption of Twitter ’ s highly recommended two-factor authentication .
Despite the reports , White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere told The Verge on Thursday that Gevers ’ hacking claim story was “ absolutely not true ” while noting that he can ’ t comment on presidential security measures .
Gevers , in the meantime , was smart enough to take a screenshot to prove his access , which you can view @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The fact that the President of the United States ’ Twitter account was so vulnerable to hacking is bad enough .
But even crazier is the fact that Gevers hacked into Trump ’ s account four years ago ( just before the 2016 election ) —and when alerting authorities about that earlier hack , he suggested “ maga2020 !
” as a new password .
According to TechCruch , Gevers “ did not expect ” to use that very password to hack back into the account years later , after Trump became President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way Trump has treated his Twitter account ’ s security since taking office , using obvious passwords and being too lazy to turn on two-factor authentication .
Fortunately , the hack was achieved by a researcher and not an enemy of the United States aiming to cause serious harm .
The incident is yet another reminder that Trump is a hypocrite and a sloth who can ’ t be trusted to safeguard anything .
Let ’ s plug this unacceptable security breach once and for all by electing Biden-Harris on November 3 .

In 2016, Donald Trump made a lot of noise about the importance of taking cybersecurity seriously as President of the United States. He electrified his base with relentless chants of “Lock her up!” as he tried to warn that Hillary Clinton’s alleged gross negligence when using technology would create major security risks for America. In the meantime, an alarming hack just came to light that reminds us how Trump is the real security threat.
Victor Gevers, a Dutch security researcher, announced that he hacked into Trump’s @realDonaldTrump Twitter account earlier this month with unusual ease, according to a report from de Volkskrant. By simply guessing the password (“maga2020!”), Gevers managed to gain full access without anyone’s knowledge or permission. This put Gevers in the position of being able to impersonate the President of the United States by changing Trump’s profile, accessing his direct messages (DMs), and even tweeting in a way that could cause confusion and chaos.
After trying for days to alert the White House about this serious security loophole, Gevers was finally contacted by the Secret Service. His efforts apparently triggered a change in Trump’s password and the adoption of Twitter’s highly recommended two-factor authentication. Despite the reports, White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere told The Verge on Thursday that Gevers’ hacking claim story was “absolutely not true” while noting that he can’t comment on presidential security measures.
Gevers, in the meantime, was smart enough to take a screenshot to prove his access, which you can view here, courtesy of Vrij Nederland. The fact that the President of the United States’ Twitter account was so vulnerable to hacking is bad enough. But even crazier is the fact that Gevers hacked into Trump’s account four years ago (just before the 2016 election)—and when alerting authorities about that earlier hack, he suggested “maga2020!” as a new password. According to TechCruch, Gevers “did not expect” to use that very password to hack back into the account years later, after Trump became President.
This hack exposes the alarmingly sloppy way Trump has treated his Twitter account’s security since taking office, using obvious passwords and being too lazy to turn on two-factor authentication. Fortunately, the hack was achieved by a researcher and not an enemy of the United States aiming to cause serious harm. The incident is yet another reminder that Trump is a hypocrite and a sloth who can’t be trusted to safeguard anything.

– Lindsey Graham is now calling for an investigation into why so much money has been donated to his rival Jaime Harrison. We’ll save you the trouble, Lindsey: it’s because everyone hates you.
– Joe Biden just jogged off the stage. Donald Trump has never jogged in his life.
– Trump now claims his Mexican border wall has been “completed.” Apparently it’s some kind of invisible wall that only he can see. This guy is falling to pieces, election-wise and psychologically.
– Ten days. These are ten of the most important days of your life. Give it everything you have. Staring at the TV or Twitter won’t change anything. Spend this time voting, volunteering, phone banking, and working to drive voter turnout. You’ll forever be glad you did.

palmerreport--2020-10-24--Donald Trump gets confused about what state he’s in, threatens to end his rally early

Donald Trump , who was visibly in poor health even before he suffered a severe case of coronavirus , has been rigorously hitting the campaign trail over the past two weeks .
His behavior has become even more uneven and unhinged than ever , and earlier this week he thought he was in Minnesota when he was in Michigan .
Now Trump appears to be really struggling .
Trump held a rally in Lumberton , North Carolina today .
That was apparently news to Trump , because at one point he asked , “ Can you imagine if I lost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to argue that Trump knew he was in North Carolina and that he was focusing on Iowa anyway , but that wouldn ’ t make things better .
Trump also threatened to end his rally early , complaining about the heat .
To be clear , this is late October , and the temperatures in Lumberton were in the low eighties today .
So it may have been warm out , but not nearly as hot as it ’ s been during earlier points in the election cycle .
The thing to keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump continues cutting his rallies short in the coming days , and whether he continues to get confused about where he ’ s at .
If he ’ s running out of gas , physically and mentally , the pattern will become more clear this upcoming week .

This callous disregard can be found among voters for whom the bottom line is the bottom line, for whom caged children, a quarter million dead Americans and the reputations of innocent people are of no consequence compared to their quarterly balance sheets, and Donald Trump is their patron saint and the chief exponent of their indifference.
The reaction among many voters to the so-called “sedate debate,” the final presidential debate Thursday night, is a chilling reminder of this deadly sociopathic pandemic. The debate may have been “civilized” in its toned down volume, but the content was still jaw-dropping horrific. We watched as the man who is the alleged leader of the free world responded with practical indifference to American deaths from COVID, dismissing with a shrug a tragedy that has (so far) claimed 75 times the number of American lives than were lost on September 11th, 2001.
We watched as the man who is supposed to lead by compassionate example, dismiss the caging of 545 children, heartlessly wrenched from their parents and justified with the cold-blooded lie that they’re being treated well. That they’re not being treated well, that they’re being treated appallingly, is finally beside the point. Their parents are hopelessly lost to them, ground up in a system that should have never separated them in the first place, and many voters couldn’t care less.
We watched as this heartless bastard Trump murdered the reputation of Hunter Biden without a shred of evidence or regret. Trump’s miraculously and suddenly resurrected “outrage” at the “Burisma scandal” that lay dormant for months without mention has suddenly become the hot topic of the moment, superseding Trump’s pearl-clutching, counterfeit horror about the potential for “rampant voter fraud” from mail-in ballots, and these bottom line voters are just fine with it.
It’s time to take a long, hard look at your Trump-loving uncle, your wayward brother-in-law, your Trump-supporting parent, and start calling them what they are: sociopaths. They may not be the hard-bitten, serial-murdering variety sociopaths you see occasionally in the movies, but they are definitely on the spectrum.
It takes bad people to support a man as overtly evil as Donald Trump, and America appears to have just enough of them to elect Trump president. Are there enough to re-elect him?

The circus is leaving town

Think for a moment if you will about some of “ president ” Donald Trump ’ s most outlandish ploys and stories .
According to Politico , some of those include retweeting illogical conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones , who believes that drinking water is tainted with Prozac , causing shrimp to commit suicide .
We don ’ t know how they ’ re committing suicide—oh , hell .
This is just crazy Speaking of crazy , Trump ’ s campaign put together a press conference before Thursday ’ s debate with a guy named Tony Bobulinski .
Bobulinski , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden , claims that Joe Biden profited from Hunter ’ s business dealings .
He presented three cell phones that allegedly contain his “ proof , ” but he would not allow any members of the press to examine them .
Fox News reported that the FBI wants to question Bobulinski , but that has not been substantiated according to the Hill , and no one cares other than Trump ’ s people .
In essence , Trump will do just about anything to win re-election .
While political pundits said Trump did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe it was “ too little , too late.
” Trump continued to lie incessantly , and he repeatedly tried to bring up Hunter Biden , which has nothing to do with anything .
Biden seized the moment to mention Trump ’ s secret China bank account and his failure to release his tax returns , which led Trump to talk about “ prepaid taxes , ” whatever that means .
When Trump ignorantly said that we “ have to learn to live ” with coronavirus , Biden said , “ We are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Trump continued lying and trying unsuccessfully to make Joe Biden look bad , Politico was hard at work on how voting is going .
Politico ’ s piece is very detailed .

Trump, for instance, thinks Barr should have somehow magically arrested Joe Biden and Barack Obama by now. The thing is, Barr keeps proving that he can’t even pull off the small-time henchman work.
Months ago, Trump gave Barr one simple task: get Michael Flynn off the hook. Barr responded by forcing the DOJ to announce that it was dropping the criminal case against Flynn, even though Flynn had already pleaded guilty, cut a cooperating plea deal, and confessed in detail. Barr apparently thought this was going to work. But the judge in the case, and the appeals court judges above him, felt differently.
Months later, the Flynn case is still in court. Now Barr and his remaining loyalists in the DOJ have been reduced to submitting FBI agent notes that they say prove Flynn was somehow framed. The trouble: they’ve been caught altering some of the documents in questions. Now the judge is threatening perjury charges against the DOJ representatives if they keep up the antics.
Meanwhile, Michael Flynn is still on track to go to prison. Donald Trump can try pardoning him, but if Trump loses the election, the next iteration of the DOJ will likely just bring the remainder of the criminal charges against Flynn that he avoided with his original plea deal, which he’s since voided. Bill Barr was supposed to get Flynn off the hook. Now it’s just an embarrassing mess. Barr really isn’t very good at this.

And it touched on the larger issue of Trump having been an absolute disaster , but also having given us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But then the sketch hit on the most important aspect of all this .
One SNL cast member pointed out that if Donald Trump loses the election , with all the crimes he ’ s committed , he ’ s bound to go on criminal trial – meaning we ’ re not about to run out of morbid entertainment .
Palmer Report has been pointing out for awhile that if Donald Trump loses the election , he ’ s earmarked for prison .
The dots aren ’ t hard to connect ; New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jury in the process of indicting Trump on state charges that he can ’ t pardon .

Halfway through tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live, the cast did a sketch in which they all stated that the country would be better off with Joe Biden as President – but that they were worried about what they’d have to talk about if Donald Trump is gone.
It was quite an honest sketch, particularly coming from a group of people whose livelihood depends on being able to make fun of politics. And it touched on the larger issue of Trump having been an absolute disaster, but also having given us a reality show presidency to watch. But then the sketch hit on the most important aspect of all this.
One SNL cast member pointed out that if Donald Trump loses the election, with all the crimes he’s committed, he’s bound to go on criminal trial – meaning we’re not about to run out of morbid entertainment.
Palmer Report has been pointing out for awhile that if Donald Trump loses the election, he’s earmarked for prison. The dots aren’t hard to connect; New York already has a well documented grand jury in the process of indicting Trump on state charges that he can’t pardon. Yet the media is still largely ignoring this important fact, presumably waiting to bring it up as “breaking news” after Trump loses.
Mainstream comedy is usually one step ahead of the mainstream media. So it’s perhaps fitting that ten days out, Saturday Night Live is now openly talking about Donald Trump’s inevitable criminal trial if he loses. The media will get there eventually, if he loses. As always, our job is to vote like our lives depend on it, and make sure he indeed loses.

This is weird

Mike Pence has been directly exposed to coronavirus by multiple members of his staff , yet he says he ’ s remaining on the campaign trial .
Melania Trump has spent the week disappearing and then reappearing , being sick and then not being sick , looking like herself and then looking like someone else .
Bill Barr keeps quietly popping up in different states , even as Donald Trump keeps publicly threatening to fire him .
Why does everything always have to be so weird with these Trump people ?
It ’ s not even a savvy kind of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pence is going to drum up additional votes by campaigning when everyone knows he probably has coronavirus ?
Why not just keep Melania out of sight entirely ?
And is any of this Barr nonsense supposed to be helping the cause ?
In addition to being the most corrupt regime in history , these Trump people are also the weirdest regime in history .

Mike Pence has been directly exposed to coronavirus by multiple members of his staff, yet he says he’s remaining on the campaign trial. Melania Trump has spent the week disappearing and then reappearing, being sick and then not being sick, looking like herself and then looking like someone else. Bill Barr keeps quietly popping up in different states, even as Donald Trump keeps publicly threatening to fire him.
Why does everything always have to be so weird with these Trump people? It’s not even a savvy kind of weird. Does anyone think that Mike Pence is going to drum up additional votes by campaigning when everyone knows he probably has coronavirus? Why not just keep Melania out of sight entirely? And is any of this Barr nonsense supposed to be helping the cause?
In addition to being the most corrupt regime in history, these Trump people are also the weirdest regime in history. So it’s perhaps fitting that as they circle the drain, they’re now acting even more incoherently weird than ever. Let’s vote them out and put an end to this creepy nonsense.

palmerreport--2020-10-25--Something’s up with Melania Trump

Something’s up with Melania Trump

When images emerged on Saturday of Donald Trump traveling with a happy and smiling Melania Trump , it set off alarms on social media .
First of all , Melania is never happy and smiling when she ’ s with Donald .
Also , she didn ’ t look much like Melania Trump .
And so the long running “ Fake Melania ” theory continues .
There ’ s no evidence that the Trump regime is using a Melania Trump impersonator to accompany Donald Trump on the days that Melania can ’ t be bothered to travel with him .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ her lately .
On Tuesday Melania ’ s people announced that she was canceling a planned appearance at a Donald Trump rally , citing a lingering cough from her bout with coronavirus .
Okay , fair enough .
But then just two days later Melania showed up to the debate , seemingly fine .
Then on Saturday , when Donald Trump went to vote , Melania wasn ’ t with him .
But then at another point on Saturday , she was with him , but she suddenly looked strange .
Again , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Fake Melania ” body double theory , if only because the Trump regime has consistently showed that it ’ s way too incompetent to pull something like that off ; we ’ d be seeing much more blatant evidence than the occasional photo that doesn ’ t look like her .
But her disappearing and reappearing act alone is enough to give away that something is up with her .
Either she ’ s still sick with coronavirus or she isn ’ t .
What ’ s going on here ?

palmerreport--2020-10-25--Mike Pence has a coronavirus problem

Mike Pence has a coronavirus problem

Multiple major media outlets are reporting tonight that Mike Pence ’ s office has announced that two of his aides – including Chief of Staff Marc Short and adviser Marty Obst – have tested positive for coronavirus ( Update , 1:11am : NY Times now says it ’ s five Pence aides ) .
This means that Pence has been directly exposed , and there ’ s a good chance he has it .
Stunningly , yet perhaps not surprisingly , Mike Pence ’ s office says that he plans to remain on the campaign trail , insisting that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ personnel , ” which is beyond absurd .
As the pushback from the media and the public grows worse overnight , we have a feeling Pence may end up having to reverse course and start quarantining .
But even if so , it ’ s notable that his first instinct was to remain on the campaign trail .
It suggests that Pence thinks he and Donald Trump are on track to lose the election anyway , and so he has nothing to lose by remaining out on the campaign trail .
If he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heat for having exposed the public , he figures it ’ s a risk worth taking , because if he comes off the trail at this point , it ’ ll only further cement the likelihood that they ’ ll lose .
In any case , as always , our job is to prove these guys right .
Let ’ s double down on voter turnout and campaign volunteering , and make sure Donald Trump and Mike Pence really do lose .

This means that Pence has been directly exposed, and there’s a good chance he has it.
Stunningly, yet perhaps not surprisingly, Mike Pence’s office says that he plans to remain on the campaign trail, insisting that he meets the CDC protocol for “essential personnel,” which is beyond absurd. As the pushback from the media and the public grows worse overnight, we have a feeling Pence may end up having to reverse course and start quarantining. But even if so, it’s notable that his first instinct was to remain on the campaign trail.
It suggests that Pence thinks he and Donald Trump are on track to lose the election anyway, and so he has nothing to lose by remaining out on the campaign trail. If he ends up testing positive and then takes heat for having exposed the public, he figures it’s a risk worth taking, because if he comes off the trail at this point, it’ll only further cement the likelihood that they’ll lose.

palmerreport--2020-10-26--Donald Trump humiliates himself on national television during 60 Minutes interview

When the news surfaced earlier this week that Donald Trump had walked out during his 60 Minutes interview , it raised questions about just how ugly of a tantrum he must have thrown .
He then posted bootleg footage of the interview online , but it wasn ’ t clear if it might have been doctored or deceptively edited .

If the President of the United States couldn ’ t handle these questions about his record and his own past statements , then he certainly can ’ t handle tough decisions or foreign leaders .

He can ’ t handle the pressure .
And now everyone who watched 60 Minutes tonight got to see just how weak and fragile he is .

If the President of the United States couldn’t handle these questions about his record and his own past statements, then he certainly can’t handle tough decisions or foreign leaders.
But there was Donald Trump, whining and whining (and whining) about how tough and unfair the questions were, only to get up and walk out after his own people told him there were still five minutes to go.

palmerreport--2020-10-25--The real reason Vladimir Putin just threw Donald Trump under the bus

Donald Trump couldn ’ t be any more of a Kremlin puppet .
He kisses Vladimir Putin ’ s backside .
He sabotages U.S. policy in a manner that helps Putin .
His advisers and allies are mixed up with Putin in too many ways to count .
Putin would certainly prefer that Trump win reelection .
So why is Putin suddenly refuting Trump and defending Joe Biden ?
Putin appeared on Russian state television today and made a point of debunking the phony conspiracy theories that Donald Trump has been spinning about Joe and Hunter Biden .
According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t concern us … I don ’ t see anything criminal about this.
” To be clear , Putin can ’ t be trusted .
But this isn ’ t some underhanded attempt at helping Trump .
In fact this at least marginally hurts Trump , because it further delegitimizes the claims that Trump is making , at a time when Trump is betting big on this narrative .
So what is Putin up to ?
Putin knows how to read the polls as well as anyone .
He must have concluded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ badly , and that there ’ s nothing he can do to help Trump win , and so now he ’ s trying to curry favor with Joe Biden , whom he expects to be the next President of the United States .
Of course Putin could be betting wrong .
While Trump is highly likely to lose , there is no guarantee that Trump will lose .
It ’ s our job to turn out to vote in record-setting numbers , in order to make sure Trump loses .
But this should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a President of the United States like Joe Biden who ’ s so strong , Putin seems to be afraid of being on his bad side .

Putin appeared on Russian state television today and made a point of debunking the phony conspiracy theories that Donald Trump has been spinning about Joe and Hunter Biden. According to Reuters, Putin said “It doesn’t concern us … I don’t see anything criminal about this.” To be clear, Putin can’t be trusted. But this isn’t some underhanded attempt at helping Trump. In fact this at least marginally hurts Trump, because it further delegitimizes the claims that Trump is making, at a time when Trump is betting big on this narrative. So what is Putin up to?
Putin knows how to read the polls as well as anyone. He must have concluded that Trump is very likely to lose badly, and that there’s nothing he can do to help Trump win, and so now he’s trying to curry favor with Joe Biden, whom he expects to be the next President of the United States.
Of course Putin could be betting wrong. While Trump is highly likely to lose, there is no guarantee that Trump will lose. It’s our job to turn out to vote in record-setting numbers, in order to make sure Trump loses. But this should serve as added motivation: imagine having a President of the United States like Joe Biden who’s so strong, Putin seems to be afraid of being on his bad side.

palmerreport--2020-10-25--Military General rips “incredible failure” Donald Trump

As part of his closing argument to the American people about why he should be in charge of the country for another four years , Donald Trump is now insisting that coronavirus case numbers are only high in the United States because doctors are falsifying the numbers for profit .
No really , Trump said this during a particularly deranged rally speech yesterday .
If you find this repulsive and un-American , it turns out you ’ re not the only one .
General Barry McCaffrey had this to say on Twitter about the incident : “ This is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lack of integrity .
Simply an incredible failure of leadership which is directly leading to the deaths of tens of thousands .
How can any American tolerate his corruption.
” General McCaffrey is right , of course .
Donald Trump is simply an embarrassment to America and to humanity .
He keeps finding new ways to sink even lower , to tear more at the fabric of what makes this nation great , and to try to bring the rest of us down with him .
It ’ s time to vote Trump @ @ @ @ @ @

If you find this repulsive and un-American, it turns out you’re not the only one. General Barry McCaffrey had this to say on Twitter about the incident: “This is a Trump combination of dangerous ignorance and utter lack of integrity. Simply an incredible failure of leadership which is directly leading to the deaths of tens of thousands. How can any American tolerate his corruption.”
General McCaffrey is right, of course. Donald Trump is simply an embarrassment to America and to humanity. He keeps finding new ways to sink even lower, to tear more at the fabric of what makes this nation great, and to try to bring the rest of us down with him. It’s time to vote Trump out in overwhelming record numbers.

Donald Trump’s big surrender

Five members of Mike Pence ’ s staff have now tested positive for coronavirus , including his chief of staff , in the latest reminder that the Trump White House is less capable than the average McDonald ’ s when it comes to keeping the coronavirus under control .
But it ’ s gotten even worse than that .
It ’ s one thing to be negligent , uninterested , even delusional about the coronavirus threat .
The Trump regime is all of those things .
But this morning Donald Trump ’ s White House chief of staff Mark Meadows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the coronavirus can ’ t be contained , period .
Really ?
Because other countries have been doing just fine keeping it contained .
What happened to America First ?
In fact this American conservative argument of “ the pandemic can ’ t be controlled so let ’ s not bother doing anything about it ( even though other nations have had great success controlling it ) ” is the same line of nonsense they ’ ve tried to sell us on climate change and gun control .
There ’ s another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump and his regime are simply surrendering to the coronavirus .
It ’ s odd in that it ’ s not even simply a matter of selfish convenience .
The coronavirus isn ’ t someone else ’ s problem .
Trump ’ s inner circle , and now Pence ’ s inner circle , are falling ill from it .
Statistically speaking , sooner or later , someone in that inner circle is going to die from it .
Yet the Trump regime has followed Donald Trump ’ s derangement so far down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simply decided to surrender to a plague rather than doing things as simple as covering their faces .
It ’ s deranged .
It ’ s mentally incompetent .
But mostly it ’ s just pathetic .
Fire these people on election day .

Earlier this week Trump puppet Lou Dobbs told his viewers not to support Lindsey Graham ’ s reelection bid .
Dobbs would only do this if Donald Trump instructed him to .
This means Trump is now actively seeking to punish Graham for not having delivered sufficient results for him in the Senate Judiciary Committee .
Trump ’ s lack of loyalty is nothing new .
But now it turns out this is a larger issue .
Trump has spent recent days privately telling donors that they shouldn ’ t bother supporting Republican Senate reelection bids , both because it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them to keep the majority at this point , and because “ you lose your soul ” if you support them , according to the Washington Post .
Trump has no soul , so this isn ’ t some sudden crisis of conscience for him .
But what ’ s he doing ?
Keep in mind who he ’ s saying this to .
Donald Trump is telling major Republican donors to keep their money away from Republican Senators .
Two possible explanations come to mind .
The first is that Trump is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all their last minute money to him , rather than splitting it with Republican Senators , because he ’ s just that hard up for cash .
The other possibility would be that Trump is unraveling so badly , he simply wants to take his Republican Senate allies down with him .
