palmerreport--2020-09-14--RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel just gave away how much trouble Donald Trump is in

With his scandals growing worse and his apologists growing somewhat sparse , Donald Trump is stuck relying on people like Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel to defend him .
The trouble : not only is she ineffective at it , she unwittingly gave way just how much trouble Trump is in .
Ronna McDaniel tweeted this today : “ Joe Biden can ’ t run from his disastrous record responding to the coronavirus .
The truth hurts , Joe !
” Wait a minute here .
What kind of “ record ” is Joe Biden supposed to have in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He ’ s not the President .
He hasn ’ t held any office in years .
How exactly was Biden supposed to run the government ’ s coronavirus response while Trump has been in charge of the government ?
Therein lies the problem .
Donald Trump ’ s presidency has been so disastrous , his only hope of winning is centered around convincing a majority of voters that Joe Biden has actually been the president these past four years .
No one outside Trump ’ s too-small base will fall for this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ middle might not be the quickest on the uptake , but they know full well which of these two men is the current President of the United States .

Ronna McDaniel tweeted this today: “Joe Biden can’t run from his disastrous record responding to the coronavirus. The truth hurts, Joe!” Wait a minute here. What kind of “record” is Joe Biden supposed to have in “responding” to the coronavirus? He’s not the President. He hasn’t held any office in years. How exactly was Biden supposed to run the government’s coronavirus response while Trump has been in charge of the government?
Therein lies the problem. Donald Trump’s presidency has been so disastrous, his only hope of winning is centered around convincing a majority of voters that Joe Biden has actually been the president these past four years. No one outside Trump’s too-small base will fall for this deranged lunacy. The voters in the middle might not be the quickest on the uptake, but they know full well which of these two men is the current President of the United States.

palmerreport--2020-09-13--Donald Trump goes berserk after Mike Bloomberg begins spending big to defeat him

As promised , Mike Bloomberg has now begun spending at least $ 100 million in support of Joe Biden .
As Palmer Report explained earlier , it ’ s coming at a crucial time and in a crucial swing state .
Suffice it to say that Donald Trump isn ’ t taking the news well .
Trump tweeted this insult-filled and slur-filled tirade : “ I thought Mini Mike was through with Democrat politics after spending almost 2 Billion Dollars , and then giving the worst and most inept Debate Performance in the history of Presidential Politics .
Pocahontas ended @ @ @ @ @ @ @ OVER !
Save NYC instead.
” What stands out here is that Donald Trump doesn ’ t even seem to be aware that Bloomberg has publicly stated all along that he would spend big in support of the Democratic nominee during the height of the general election .
Has Trump truly been paying that little attention to this election cycle , or are his cognitive problems causing him to forget things ?
Trump then posted this tweet : “ In the highly competitive world of high tech , how come nobody has ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ average , & supposedly outdated , “ stuff ” that he sells to so many ?
Did he use his position as Mayor of New York to create what is now a monopoly ?
Just askin ’ ?
” No one has any idea what this is even supposed to mean .

palmerreport--2020-09-13--The real reason Mike Bloomberg is spending $100 million in Florida for Joe Biden

With about fifty days to go until the election , billionaire and former candidate Mike Bloomberg is announcing that he ’ s about to spend $ 100 million or more in the state of Florida in support of Joe Biden ’ s campaign .
This move is being interpreted in a lot of different ways , but it ’ s actually pretty straightforward .
For starters , Bloomberg promised all along that he ’ d spend big in support of whoever ended up being the Democratic nominee .
So this isn ’ t some sudden decision based on the current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s simply what Bloomberg said from the start that he would end up doing .
The two interesting parts here are the timing and location .
As far as timing , just yesterday , forecaster Harry Enten pointed out that historically , any meaningful shifts in the polling averages ( in either direction ) tend to take place during the window of time when there are fewer than 50 days , but more than 35 days , until the election .
In other words , these next couple weeks are crucial for both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spending big for Biden during that time period .
As for the location , despite some recent scary headlines that were based on outlier polls and out-of-context numbers , Joe Biden has a steady medium-sized lead in Florida .
It ’ s his state to win .
And if he does win it , Donald Trump will be left with a very difficult path to 270 electoral votes .
So it makes sense that Bloomberg is looking to lock up Florida , because doing so would very probably put Biden in the White @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t win a state .
It ’ s time for us all to start volunteering and phone banking as well .

With about fifty days to go until the election, billionaire and former candidate Mike Bloomberg is announcing that he’s about to spend $100 million or more in the state of Florida in support of Joe Biden’s campaign. This move is being interpreted in a lot of different ways, but it’s actually pretty straightforward.
For starters, Bloomberg promised all along that he’d spend big in support of whoever ended up being the Democratic nominee. So this isn’t some sudden decision based on the current state of the race; it’s simply what Bloomberg said from the start that he would end up doing. The two interesting parts here are the timing and location.
As far as timing, just yesterday, forecaster Harry Enten pointed out that historically, any meaningful shifts in the polling averages (in either direction) tend to take place during the window of time when there are fewer than 50 days, but more than 35 days, until the election. In other words, these next couple weeks are crucial for both candidates, and here we have Bloomberg spending big for Biden during that time period.
As for the location, despite some recent scary headlines that were based on outlier polls and out-of-context numbers, Joe Biden has a steady medium-sized lead in Florida. It’s his state to win. And if he does win it, Donald Trump will be left with a very difficult path to 270 electoral votes. So it makes sense that Bloomberg is looking to lock up Florida, because doing so would very probably put Biden in the White House. But money alone doesn’t win a state. It’s time for us all to start volunteering and phone banking as well.

palmerreport--2020-09-13--Donald Trump goes completely berserk after realizing Joe Biden is beating him on TV ads

When the news broke this past week that the Donald Trump 2020 campaign was going dark on its TV advertising in Arizona , it was the latest sign that the campaign is simply broke .
The campaign seems to be trying to delude Trump into thinking this isn ’ t the case , by running TV ads heavily in the local Washington DC area , so Trump will see them while binge-watching cable news at the White House .
The trouble with this strategy is that Trump is now traveling around a bit , which means he ’ s watching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night he got a glimpse of what the nationwide TV advertising market looks like , and let ’ s just say he ’ s not happy that Joe Biden is massively oustspending him on TV ads , with more effective ads to boot .
Trump tweeted this : “ Just landed in Nevada but while on Air Force One watched most vicious TV commercial I have ever seen .
Pathetic Joe ’ s people placed an unsourced ad where they have me saying unthinkable things about soldiers while standing over their graves .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ A TOTAL CON JOB !
” This is clearly the reaction of someone who is shocked and angered to find out that Joe Biden is running heavy TV ads everywhere , and that they ’ re hard hitting .
Donald Trump ’ s babysitters appear to keep feeding him the comforting narrative that Biden is locked up in his basement , making no effort , and losing badly .
Meanwhile back in the real world , Biden is winning – and he ’ s doing so in aggressive fashion .

The trouble with this strategy is that Trump is now traveling around a bit, which means he’s watching television outside the DC market. Last night he got a glimpse of what the nationwide TV advertising market looks like, and let’s just say he’s not happy that Joe Biden is massively oustspending him on TV ads, with more effective ads to boot.
Trump tweeted this: “Just landed in Nevada but while on Air Force One watched most vicious TV commercial I have ever seen. Pathetic Joe’s people placed an unsourced ad where they have me saying unthinkable things about soldiers while standing over their graves. It is a MADE UP LIE. A TOTAL CON JOB!”

palmerreport--2020-09-13--Donald Trump confesses to taking drugs

Donald Trump confesses to taking drugs

Few people have less imagination than Donald Trump .
We have learned over the years through bitter and repeated exposure to this toxic , bloviating monster , that Trump ’ s attacks on others are actually an immediate reflection of what he sees inside of himself .
Not just without evidence , but against all evidence , Trump , the guy who indolently spends his days hate-tweeting , watching television and playing golf , frequently refers to the hard-working Democratic legislators in Congress as the “ do-nothing Democrats.
” During the 2016 campaign in which Trump cheated ( e.g.
, @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russians and a disgracefully cooperating press ) , lied ( e.g.
, “ Nobody knows more about trade than I do ” ) and made promises he had no intention of keeping ( e.g.
, “ I will release my taxes after I ’ m elected ” ) , he referred to Hillary Clinton as “ Crooked Hillary.
” Trump gets away with this , in part , because there exists no mechanism to fact check him in real time .
If a press briefing starts to go badly for him he can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a question he doesn ’ t like he just cuts them off and calls them “ nasty.
” But the fact remains , Trump lies and cheats and commits crimes right out in the open , then accuses people of committing those same lies and cheats and crimes when he knows that he and he alone is the guilty one .
Psychologists call it projection , or the unconscious transfer of one ’ s own motivations or practices onto others .
It ’ s therefore useful to think of Trump ’ s insults @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So when Trump told Fox News Saturday night , without evidence , that Joe Biden took drugs to get him through the Democratic debates , Trump is confirming what we ’ ve known all along .
Trump frequently takes drugs to get through press conferences , speeches and other occasions .
It explains his frequent slurring of words , sniffing and general incoherence .
“ I think there ’ s probably – possibly – drugs involved , ” Trump told Jeanine Pirro Saturday , while trying to smear Joe Biden as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what I hear .
I mean , there ’ s possibly drugs .
I don ’ t know how you can go from being so bad where you can ’ t even get out a sentence … ” ( I use ellipses here because Trump didn ’ t even finish his own sentence .
A common practice among drug users . )
First , let ’ s be clear on something .
When Trump says “ that ’ s what I hear , ” that ’ s a lie .
He hasn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from anybody .
There are no rumors floating around that Joe Biden is taking drugs .
He hasn ’ t been .
Joe has a stammer , and , in spite of that stammer , he ’ s generally more coherent and articulate than your average thirty year old .
What ’ s more , Joe Biden speaks in whole paragraphs that make sense , which is more than one can say about Trump , with or without drugs .
Second , Trump has been rumored for years to be a serial drug @ @ @ @ @ @ @ constantly snorted adderall on the set of “ The Apprentice.
” Some claim he also used cocaine .
The late actress Carrie Fisher said Trump was “ absolutely ” on cocaine during the 2016 presidential debates .
Fisher had long been open about her own cocaine abuse , and few know the signs better than former addicts .
So it ’ s safe to infer from Trump ’ s own unfounded , unsourced and irresponsible accusation of Joe Biden that the rumours are true , that Trump himself is a drug user .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ toward his own body — his staggeringly poor diet , his aversion to exercise , his runaway girth bordering on morbid obesity — it ’ s easy to believe .
There are a million reasons why Donald Trump is unfit to be president of the United States , this has been another one .
And , as ever , ladies and gentlemen , brothers and sisters , comrades and friends , stay safe .

palmerreport--2020-09-14--Governor of Nevada rips Donald Trump to pieces

With his prospects in must-win states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin seemingly slipping away from him , Donald Trump is now forced to try to make up the difference by focusing on long shot states like Nevada .
Trump doesn ’ t appear to have any real plan for winning the state .
Instead he ’ s simply holding rallies there and babbling incorrectly ; nothing new for him .
Of course Trump is holding his narcissistic rallies during a pandemic , and on Sunday he crossed a line by holding a tightly packed indoor rally .
Did he learn nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he got his friend Herman Cain killed ?
Apparently not .
Let ’ s just say that Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak isn ’ t having any of it .
He tweeted this : Tonight , President Donald Trump is taking reckless and selfish actions that are putting countless lives in danger here in Nevada .
Despite reports from his own White House , despite local officials in Southern & Northern Nevada reiterating to the venues the existing restrictions in State emergency directives , tonight , the President is knowingly packing thousands into an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The President appears to have forgotten that this country is still in the middle of a global pandemic .
Sisolak actually kept going after that , in quite a lengthy Twitter thread .
It ’ s clear that he has no interest in playing games , and that he ’ s not going to sit idly by if Trump tries any election hijinks in the state .

That ’ s not funny , it ’ s just sad .
– I ’ m impressed with how tough and assertive CNN ’ s Jake Tapper and MSNBC ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to interviewing dangerous liars Peter Navarro and Rudy Giuliani this weekend .
I ’ d be even more impressed if CNN and MSNBC would stop booking these kinds of dangerous liars as guests .
– Speaking of Peter Navarro and Rudy Giuliani , Trump really is running out of surrogates , isn ’ t he ?
– If you ’ re hate-watching Chuck Todd , that still means MSNBC is getting ratings out of it , which means they consider the show to be successful .
Advertising revenue is based on how many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether people are approving of what they ’ re watching .
The only way to get rid of Chuck Todd is to stop watching Meet The Press altogether , until it becomes such a money loser that they ’ re forced to replace him .
– Joe Biden has a large steady lead .

palmerreport--2020-09-15--Donald Trump spokesman Michael Caputo has berserk violent meltdown, deletes Twitter account

This weekend we all learned that Donald Trump ’ s handpicked HHS spokesman Michael Caputo had been secretly pressuring the CDC to alter its weekly public reports on the coronavirus , in what was arguably tantamount to attempted murder .
Now it appears Caputo is trying to graduate to first degree murder and perhaps treason , in a flame-out that ’ s surreal even by the Trump regime ’ s deranged standards .
Caputo said that if Trump loses and “ refuses to stand down at the inauguration , ” it ’ s going to result in violence .
Then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you carry guns , buy ammunition , ladies and gentlemen.
” In other words , he appears to be calling on Trump supporters to start shooting people if Trump loses the election .
To be clear , this kind of incitement to violence is a felony .
But naturally things got even stranger .
After people started digging up Michael Caputo ’ s startlingly racist old tweets , he responded by deleting his account entirely .
So this means Caputo is trying to murder people by falsifying pandemic data , trying to convince @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his tweets were so deranged that he had to delete his account just to try to bury them – and there ’ s still only a 50-50 chance this guy ends having to resign .
What a deadly clown show .

Screwballs are always attracted to authoritarian regimes since just by showing blind loyalty, they can get promoted way above their mental and intellectual capabilities.

Roger Stone is just the first of many nutjobs to come who will be crying out for martial law in the fear that Trump loses. They can already smell the prison toilet wine.
The first thing to know about martial law in the US is it’s extremely rare. Having lived through Katrina, I can attest it was never used there, though many still say it was. The last time martial law was declared in Louisiana was during the War of 1812. Additionally, when Lincoln tried to enact martial law the Supreme Court rejected his request stating that even a civil war was not reason enough for such draconian measures.
But that’s not going to stop people like Michael Caputo, Trump’s HHS shill, from crying out, “Sedition!” They will announce the lizard people, or whomever the boogieman-of-the-day is, are ready to pounce and these Trumpsters will demand all kinds of absurd measures. Now is the time to get out the popcorn because the show has just started.
The US has had moments of appalling errors in judgement in its history, but our Constitution and the balance of power built into it has endured more than this. That it’s been damaged by four years of Trump is incontestable. That it will be fixed, and the country will heal by a Biden/Harris administration is a reality.

palmerreport--2020-09-14--Horrifying new details out of Donald Trump’s concentration camps are straight out of Nazi Germany

All along Palmer Report has been referring to Donald Trump ’ s immigrant “ detention centers ” as concentration camps , because the horrid conditions in Trump ’ s camps met the criteria .
Trump ’ s camps aren ’ t death camps in the sense that people aren ’ t intentionally being put to death .
But new details out of the camps today reveal that things are getting derangedly close to that point .
A new whistleblower is revealing that doctors are performing “ mass hysterectomies ” in Donald Trump ’ s immigrant camps , thus making sure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have children .
This is eugenics .
It ’ s an attempt at preventing Hispanic people from reproducing , presumably to try to increase the white percentage of the population .
It ’ s Nazi Germany stuff .
It ’ s Doctor Mengele territory .
It ’ s the very worst kind of crime .
I ’ m finding myself at a loss of words to properly describe the horror I ’ m feeling after reading the bombshell report from Law and Crime .
I recommend you swallow hard and read it yourself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ camps need to be sent to prison for the rest of their lives .
The only way we can make that happen is to make sure Joe Biden wins , so Trump ’ s entire Fourth Reich is taken down accordingly .

It’s the very worst kind of crime.
I’m finding myself at a loss of words to properly describe the horror I’m feeling after reading the bombshell report from Law and Crime. I recommend you swallow hard and read it yourself. The doctors and guards in these camps need to be sent to prison for the rest of their lives.

Bitter pill for Donald Trump to swallow

Donald Trump is trying to show how great he is , and on Sunday , just before his indoor rally in Las Vegas , he signed a new executive order .
The order , per his tweet : “ Just signed a new Executive Order to LOWER DRUG PRICES !

The days of global freeriding at America ’ s expense are over and prices are coming down FAST !

That is clue number one that this is more BS .
Clue number two is that this is not even how markets work .
Donald Trump ’ s sister , who is a former federal judge and knows all about her brother , was recorded by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do is appeal to his base .

There are a few clues that this is once again just posturing by a president who knows he is losing, is going to get crushed, and desperately seeks to provide false comfort to his base. First, if he just signed this, prices have not changed. That is clue number one that this is more BS. Clue number two is that this is not even how markets work.
Donald Trump’s sister, who is a former federal judge and knows all about her brother, was recorded by Mary Trump saying “All he wants to do is appeal to his base. He has no principles. None.” This is a cheap stunt, like hydroxychloroquine, plasma and an imaginary vaccine by end of October. We must ignore the man in the White House when it comes to his bad medicine.

The reelection campaign for the sitting President of the United States has gone broke, to the point that it can’t afford to run TV ads in the swing state of Arizona, and the key people involved with the campaign have been reduced to blaming each other in the media for the evaporating money. Now it’s gotten even uglier.
Bloomberg is reporting that the Trump 2020 campaign has cut its TV advertising budgets in Pennsylvania and Michigan to zero. Tracking site Medium Buying is reporting that the Trump campaign is also canceling its planned TV ads this upcoming week in states including Ohio, Iowa, and Nevada. It’s one thing to not schedule TV ads to begin with, which would suggest a shrinking budget. It’s another to cancel them the day before they’re supposed to begin running, which suggests that the Trump campaign realized it doesn’t even have enough cash on hand to pay for this week’s TV ads.
Moreover, with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin looking uglier for him, Donald Trump has spent the past several days trying to make up for it by making a long shot play in Nevada – and now he’s even canceling his TV ads in Nevada. It’s not that Trump is shifting his resources. It’s that he’s out of resources.
When you’re forced to cancel your ads in the state you just decided is your key to victory, it points to your campaign having close to zero dollars in the bank. The next thing to watch for is whether the Trump campaign begins laying off staffers and/or grumblings begin to surface about staffers not getting their paychecks. If the campaign is this broke, they’re probably struggling to make payroll as well.

palmerreport--2020-09-14--Should Bob Woodward have revealed that Trump lied sooner?

When a crime is committed it ’ s sometimes a favorite pastime of a certain kind of armchair cynic to find people other than the criminal to blame .
The most repulsive of the type are the blamers of rape victims .
Far less abhorrent but still representative of the breed are those who insist that Bob Woodward should have come forward sooner with the taped revelation that Donald Trump deliberately misled the American people about coronavirus .
Put another way , could lives have been saved had Bob Woodward come forward sooner with the tape proving Trump was lying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ personal .
I ’ m not a huge fan of Bob Woodward .
I ’ ve always thought there was something just a little bit sleazy about him and that he didn ’ t always deserve the accolades he so generously receives .
From his involvement in the “ Jimmy ’ s World ” scandal ( in which he supported a Washington Post inner city story about an 8 year old heroin addict that turned out to be entirely fictional ) to his highly questionable claim of a deathbed interview with CIA Director @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , unimaginative interview style , he ’ s never exactly been my favorite .
Of the two famous Watergate reporters I always thought Bernstein was the smart one .
What ’ s more , had I been in Woodward ’ s position , I would like to think I would have announced to the world right away that Trump was lying about coronavirus and I had the tapes to prove it .
To be sure , I doubt that it would have done any good .
When you stop to think about it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any good , really , and that carries my point .
But announce I would have , all the same .
And it would have come , I think , at no loss to my soon-to-be-released book .
With those preliminaries out of the way , it isn ’ t Bob Woodward ’ s job to warn the American people about the dangers of coronavirus , it ’ s the job of the president of the United States .
Trump ’ s failure to do so is his shame , and he shares @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is no more responsible for the inner workings of Donald Trump than Lindsey Graham is responsible for Trump ’ s moronic decision to do the Woodward interview in the first place .
The buck stops there , and we need to stop suggesting otherwise .
Donald Trump deliberately misled the American people , knowing with crystalline clarity , in advance , that people would die .
He did it to protect his precious stock market with the insane belief that it would enhance his re-election chances .
He made the decision to voluntarily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) in exchange for four more years as America ’ s first criminal president , went home , had dinner and slept like a baby .
Donald Trump is the evil at work here .

Put another way, could lives have been saved had Bob Woodward come forward sooner with the tape proving Trump was lying?
Let me start by interjecting the personal. I’m not a huge fan of Bob Woodward. I’ve always thought there was something just a little bit sleazy about him and that he didn’t always deserve the accolades he so generously receives. From his involvement in the “Jimmy’s World” scandal (in which he supported a Washington Post inner city story about an 8 year old heroin addict that turned out to be entirely fictional) to his highly questionable claim of a deathbed interview with CIA Director William Casey, to his rather clumsy, unimaginative interview style, he’s never exactly been my favorite. Of the two famous Watergate reporters I always thought Bernstein was the smart one.
What’s more, had I been in Woodward’s position, I would like to think I would have announced to the world right away that Trump was lying about coronavirus and I had the tapes to prove it. To be sure, I doubt that it would have done any good. When you stop to think about it, it still hasn’t done any good, really, and that carries my point. But announce I would have, all the same.

The buck stops there, and we need to stop suggesting otherwise.
Donald Trump deliberately misled the American people, knowing with crystalline clarity, in advance, that people would die. He did it to protect his precious stock market with the insane belief that it would enhance his re-election chances. He made the decision to voluntarily trade 200,000 American lives (so far) in exchange for four more years as America’s first criminal president, went home, had dinner and slept like a baby. Donald Trump is the evil at work here. He gets the blame and no one else.
If there’s any doubt left among you that Donald Trump is a psychopathic murderer, wholly without an ounce of human compassion, a murderer who would kill anyone any time to advance his shot at re-election, now is the time to abandon that doubt. Donald Trump isn’t just your garden variety corrupt Republican, he is as evil and as ruthless and as heartless and as vicious as any serial murderer you have ever read about. Trump is a dead-eyed killer.

palmerreport--2020-09-14--What now, Donald Trump?

What now, Donald Trump?

A question I frequently ask when writing about Donald Trump is : “ Where to start ?
” The other is “ What now ?
” He is so evil and unpresidential that the news is literally burning up the media .
Now that we know he intentionally played down the coronavirus to keep us from “ panicking ” ( as opposed helping us prepare ) , Politico has shared something that should come as no surprise : Trump officials are interfering with CDC reports on Covid-19 .
What a shock .
Considering that Trump has admitted to “ playing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sense that his cohorts want to keep the sham going by “ editing ” CDC reports .
Trump ’ s aides want messages “ watered down ” to match Trump ’ s “ optimistic ” messages .
Optimism is not borne of lies .
Optimism comes from health professionals seeing declines in outbreaks , infections , and deaths .
That will bring optimism , not the continued lies and coverups from this joke of an administration .
Trump ’ s HHS spokesperson Michael Caputo has absolutely no background in medicine or science .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ wants to create “ the world according to Trump.
” Caputo installed Paul Alexander , whom Caputo calls “ an Oxford-educated epidemiologist , ” at the CDC .
He is nothing of the sort .
According to the Hamilton Spectator , Alexander was a part-time professor of health research methods .
Alexander wrote that the CDC reports are “ very misleading ” and says , “ shame on them.
” No , shame on this sham of an administration that continues to push hacks down our throat who claim to know more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.S. , Anthony Fauci .
CNBC recently reported Fauci ’ s concerns for increased cases in 11 states : Alaska , Arkansas , Connecticut , Delaware , Maine , Nebraska , New Hampshire , New Jersey , Rhode Island , Wisconsin , and Wyoming , which are based on what Dr. Fauci terms “ disturbing data.
” Instead of reading and heeding this data , Trump and his clown car of advisors seek to make the data match Trump ’ s words .
That is not going to happen , and it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people to end .
Politico gives us good news on that front as well .
Joe Biden continues to lead Trump nationwide and in key swing states .
In further bad news for Trump , Politico also reported that the Mormons have rejected Trump , calling him “ blasphemous.
” This is a group Trump needs to win .
According to Politico , they rejected the “ thrice-married , immigrant-bashing ” Trump as an affront to their beliefs in 2016 .
Wonder what they are thinking about this liar now ?
Take this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the goal of ridding this country of Donald Trump .
We must come out — in large numbers — to ensure the electoral college does not stab us in the back again .
We must show everyone , once and for all , what democracy looks like—it reflects the will of the people not the will of a chosen few .

palmerreport--2020-09-14--Even Drudge Report now agrees that Donald Trump is facing prison

One of the few certainties of 2020 is that if Donald Trump does lose the election , he ’ s headed to prison .
New York already has a well-documented grand jury in the process of indicting Trump for financial crimes on state charges , meaning Trump is going to prison whether he gets hit with a federal case or not .
But even some of Trump ’ s biggest detractors seem allergic to the notion that Trump is going to prison ; no matter how much evidence Palmer Report might lay out that points to Trump being locked up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yell “ It ’ ll never happen ” in response .
The mainstream media is thus hesitant to point out the fact that Trump is going to prison if he loses the election , because it doesn ’ t want to face the kind of pushback that Palmer Report faces whenever we point it out .
But there are signs that the public is finally on the verge of accepting the reality that Trump is going to prison if he loses the election .
New York Magazine published a headline today about Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loses , and the right-wing Drudge Report made a point of highlighting it .
Drudge has been incrementally distancing itself from Trump for awhile .
But the reality is that even some right wingers are ready to point out that Trump is going to prison if he loses , which makes it even more odd that so many on the left are so pessimistically insisting on shouting down any possibility that Trump might go to prison .
Again , there ’ s a grand jury in New York that ’ s already in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , on the kind of state-level financial charges that 1 ) can ’ t be pardoned by any president , and 2 ) nearly always result in jury convictions .
If Trump loses the election , he is going to prison .
This is about as controversial as saying the sky is blue .
It ’ s time for everyone to embrace this fact , and use it as added motivation for voting against him .

palmerreport--2020-09-14--Donald Trump’s worst nightmare is coming true

Let ’ s say you ’ re Donald Trump .
Your biggest fear these days is that you ’ re going to lose the election , and lose it by a big enough margin that your feeble cheating efforts aren ’ t enough to matter , and then you ’ re going to be indicted and arrested , and you ’ re going to spend the rest of your life alone and penniless in solitary confinement , and your failing health lasts just long enough to see your name removed from every last building and your kids indicted .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re even remotely aware of what ’ s going on around you , then you ’ re lying awake every night these days , sweating over just how close the above scenario is coming to happening .
There ’ s no question Trump is currently losing .
In fact he ’ s losing badly enough that even his own supporters , big and small , are increasingly unwilling to donate to his campaign because they don ’ t expect him to win anyway .
His campaign is broke enough that it can ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are increasingly devoted to how badly Trump is losing , which only serves to further convince people who lean his direction that it ’ s not worth bothering to vote for him .
It ’ s not the idiot supporters at his rallies that he has to worry about ; it ’ s the people in the middle who unenthusiastically voted for him last time and are feeling even less enthusiastic this time .
Worst of all for Trump , he doesn ’ t even seem to understand which voters he ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still absurdly thinks it ’ s about firing up his too-small core base .
So yeah , Donald Trump is on track to see his worst nightmare come true .
He only has fifty days to completely turn everything around , and it ’ s clear that he currently has no idea how to do that .
It ’ s not that he ’ s done , or done trying .
It ’ s that things are going about as poorly for him right now as they can possibly go .
Our job @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with things like phone banking and polling place volunteering , in order to help make sure Trump stays on track to lose .

If you’re Trump and you’re even remotely aware of what’s going on around you, then you’re lying awake every night these days, sweating over just how close the above scenario is coming to happening. There’s no question Trump is currently losing. In fact he’s losing badly enough that even his own supporters, big and small, are increasingly unwilling to donate to his campaign because they don’t expect him to win anyway. His campaign is broke enough that it can’t even properly advertise.
News cycles are increasingly devoted to how badly Trump is losing, which only serves to further convince people who lean his direction that it’s not worth bothering to vote for him. It’s not the idiot supporters at his rallies that he has to worry about; it’s the people in the middle who unenthusiastically voted for him last time and are feeling even less enthusiastic this time. Worst of all for Trump, he doesn’t even seem to understand which voters he’s supposed to be focusing on; he still absurdly thinks it’s about firing up his too-small core base.
So yeah, Donald Trump is on track to see his worst nightmare come true. He only has fifty days to completely turn everything around, and it’s clear that he currently has no idea how to do that. It’s not that he’s done, or done trying. It’s that things are going about as poorly for him right now as they can possibly go. Our job is to put in the work, with things like phone banking and polling place volunteering, in order to help make sure Trump stays on track to lose.

On Monday, Donald Trump gave a speech that was deranged even by his standards. He claimed that forest fires are caused by exploding trees (no really, he said this), and then he turned around and claimed that scientists are the ones who don’t know anything.
The shame of it is that because this whacked out clown is (for the moment) President of the United States, his speeches get aired live on television, meaning he gets to put these lies out there before they can be shot down. Let’s just say that Donald Trump’s niece Mary Trump isn’t pleased about it.
Mary Trump tweeted this: “Donald knows nothing and he couldn’t care less about being informed. He shouldn’t be allowed—by anybody—to spew his ignorant, dangerous nonsense unchallenged in real time. The undermining of science, expertise, and sanity is weakening us, and it is getting people killed.”

palmerreport--2020-09-15--Donald Trump has psychotic late night meltdown as Nevada goes wrong for him

With some of the states he won in 2016 now slipping away from him , Donald Trump spent the weekend moving on to Plan B , which consists of trying to make up the difference by making a long shot run at the blue-ish state of Nevada .
To give you an idea of how badly things are falling apart for him , Trump ’ s flat broke campaign had to cancel its TV ads for the week in Nevada just as Trump was setting his sights on Nevada .
But Trump did achieve the narcissistic ego stroke of getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ idiots cheering for him , so we suppose in his mind , the trip wasn ’ t a total loss .
That said , the Governor of Nevada spent the weekend going hard at Trump , making clear that the state is not ripe for whatever election antics Trump is planning .
Accordingly , Trump had this psychotic meltdown tonight : “ We had great rallies this past weekend , after the Governor of Nevada worked very hard to cancel all of our venues .
Despite the fact that he controls the state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rather done rally outside .
Can you imagine this man is in charge of the Ballots in Nevada !
?
Not fair , Rigged Election !
@ GovSisolak , will use every trick in the book to cheat with Ballots.
” Well okay then .
The telling part about this otherwise gibberish tweet is that Donald Trump is now hinting that he wants to go back to holding outdoor rallies .
This suggests that Trump is either afraid he ’ s going to start losing legal battles over indoor rallies , or something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now afraid he ’ s going to catch the coronavirus at one of his own rallies .

palmerreport--2020-09-18--Eric Trump shits the bed in New York State investigation into Donald Trump

Last month New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that she ’ s been leading an investigation into the financial dealings of Donald Trump and the Trump Organization , and that she would seek to force Eric Trump to testify .
At the time , Palmer Report explained that these kinds of multi-tier investigations generally start with the bottom rung like Eric , and then move up to someone like Don Junior , and then to Donald Trump himself .
The point of interrogating Eric Trump is to get him to either slip up and tell the ugly truth about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family business , or to goad him into telling a provable lie so that the threat of perjury charges can be used to force him to come clean .
The stakes are high because even though New York State ’ s investigation is a civil suit , it dovetails with the criminal indictment that the Manhattan District Attorney and a well-documented grand jury are in the process of bringing against Donald Trump .
The question has been whether Eric Trump would show up and testify in the hope that he could outsmart the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ refuse to show up in the hope that the courts won ’ t order him to .
Instead , Eric has decided to take a third path , and it sure feels like a dumb one .
He ’ s announced that he ’ s willing to testify and provide the subpoenaed documents , but only if the New York Attorney General agrees not to share them with any other investigators or prosecutors .
In other words , Eric Trump just tipped off that his testimony and documents are incriminating , and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will get ahold of them if he gives them to the New York Attorney General .
Now the DA is certainly going to seek to compel Eric to provide testimony and evidence to the grand jury against his father .
This is like the police showing up at your front door , and you telling them they ’ re free to look anywhere except under the living room rug .
Eric just helped give away the game .

palmerreport--2020-09-18--Donald Trump has berserk meltdown about his own FBI Director Christopher Wray

Donald Trump keeps falsely insisting that Joe Biden and China are secretly conspiring to rig the election , or some hallucination along those lines .
But back in the real world , the evidence is clear that Russia is once again trying to rig the election on Trump ’ s behalf – and Trump ’ s own FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to as much during congressional hearings today .
Suffice it to say that Donald Trump is allergic to these kinds of facts , and he ’ s not happy about it .
Trump tweeted this about Wray : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t see any activity from China , even though it is a FAR greater threat than Russia , Russia , Russia .
They will both , plus others , be able to interfere in our 2020 Election with our totally vulnerable Unsolicited ( Counterfeit ? )
Ballot Scam .
Check it out !
” Okay , where do we even start with this nonsense ?
Donald Trump now seems to be arguing that China and Russia are both going to meddle in the election , and they ’ ll only be able to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Counterfeit ?
.
Really ?
Just how thoroughly has this guy ’ s brain rotted ?
In any case , Trump has been publicly gripping about Chris Wray for quite some time , but there are no indications that Trump has the muscle to even try to fire him .
As is so often the case these days , Trump is reduced to simply whining that things aren ’ t going his way .

Over the past months there has been quite a bit of buzz that various members of the Trump regime and use their first-hand knowledge of Donald Trump’s unfitness to make the case for voting for Joe Biden. If this seemed like it might be too much to hope for, it’s now remarkably underway.
Olivia Troye, who was a member of the Mike Pence coronavirus task force until she resigned last month, is now endorsing Joe Biden. She’s citing Donald Trump’s “disregard for human life” as part of her argument in favor of Biden. This development, reported by the Washington Post, is notable for its timing. Just a few weeks ago Troye was helping Trump and Pence run the show. Now she’s publicly trying to take them down.
This comes after Miles Taylor also resigned from the Trump regime and endorsed Joe Biden. Based on the trend and timing, this strongly suggests that more such resignation/endorsement pivots are coming from within the Trump regime. Stay tuned.

palmerreport--2020-09-17--Donald Trump’s Amy Dorris scandal explodes

Four years ago , when Donald Trump issued a bizarre video to apologize for his 2005 Access Hollywood tape comments to host Billy Bush , he insisted , “ Anyone who knows me know these words don ’ t reflect who I am.
” However , a new sexual assault allegation today from a woman who feels “ sick ” and “ violated ” by Trump reminds us — yet again — just how much Trump ’ s words do reflect who he is .
The Guardian reported this morning that former model Amy Dorris has accused Trump of assaulting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ York City in 1997 .
In an exclusive interview , Dorris recalled how Trump locked her in an inescapable grip when she encountered him outside the bathroom in his VIP box , apparently waiting for her .
Dorris explained that as Trump groped her “ all over my butt , my breasts , my back , everything , ” she could not break free and struggled to push Trump ’ s tongue out of her throat with her teeth .
Dorris pointed out that Trump , married to Marla Maples at the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sporting event as Trump ’ s friend ’ s date .
Trump “ came on very strong right away ” as someone who feels “ entitled to do what they want… even though I was there with my boyfriend , ” she told the Guardian .
Dorris added that when she begged Trump to “ please stop , ” he simply “ didn ’ t care.
” Dorris first confided this story to the Guardian 15 months ago .
Part of the reason why she decided to go forward now with her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her daughters about the importance of standing up to sexual predators .
Although Dorris has offered evidence such as photos and corroborating accounts to back up her story , Trump ’ s lawyers are denying everything “ in the strongest possible terms ” while accusing Dorris of being politically motivated .
This disturbing allegation is the latest of so many highly credible ones against Trump that reflect his words on the Access Hollywood tape with uncanny accuracy .
On that tape , Trump recounted an apparent sexual assault ( “ I moved on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on her like a bitch ” ) before arrogantly justifying his predatory behavior ( “ I don ’ t even wait .
And when you ’ re a star , they let you do it .
You can do anything… Grab ‘ em by the pussy .
You can do anything.
” ) .
Although Trump and his Republican toadies casually mansplained Trump ’ s words to the public as “ locker room talk , ” they were not random misogynistic utterances from the mouth of a supposedly moral leader .
Trump ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like : a true reflection of this abusive , deviant man .
Dorris ’ tragic story is another painful reminder that we have a violent , repulsive monster in the Oval Office who never should have been there in the first place .
Trump and his tongue belong in a cage .
