palmerreport--2020-05-21--Looks like James Carville got to Donald Trump

Two weeks ago it was reported that Donald Trump had become so displeased with his 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale , he called him up and threatened legal action against him over the campaign ’ s poor performance .
This came amid various reports accusing Parscale of taking huge payments from the campaign and using it to live a lavish lifestyle .
As this was unfolding , James Carville appeared on MSNBC and accused Parscale and his campaign associates of being a “ pack of grifters ” who were merely feeding Donald Trump fake poll numbers while taking his money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has gotten to Trump .
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Carville ’ s rant “ hit a nerve ” and has left him doubting whether his Parscale-led campaign can be trusted .
If Trump is in such a place of uncertainty that he ’ s one Carville rant away from questioning whether he needs to get rid of his own campaign manager , than Trump is even more spun around than we thought .
This comes even as the Lincoln Project has just released a timely new TV ad which plays @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money Parscale has allegedly been spending on cars and condos .

As this was unfolding, James Carville appeared on MSNBC and accused Parscale and his campaign associates of being a “pack of grifters” who were merely feeding Donald Trump fake poll numbers while taking his money and running.
Now it appears Carville has gotten to Trump. The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Carville’s rant “hit a nerve” and has left him doubting whether his Parscale-led campaign can be trusted.
If Trump is in such a place of uncertainty that he’s one Carville rant away from questioning whether he needs to get rid of his own campaign manager, than Trump is even more spun around than we thought. This comes even as the Lincoln Project has just released a timely new TV ad which plays up how much of Trump’s money Parscale has allegedly been spending on cars and condos.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, previously known for being fair and reasonable, has spent the past couple years in a disturbing downward spiral. He’s gone from being the late John McCain’s sidekick to being Donald Trump’s sidekick, and in some ways, Graham is now behaving even more disturbingly than Trump is.
The good news is that Lindsey Graham is up for reelection in November, and he’s facing a strong challenger in Democratic candidate Jaime Harrison, who has received national support. Harrison posted this thoughtful letter which shows the groundswell of support that his campaign has:
Folks like this are the reason we are going to win. I am beyond grateful for your support, Deb. I promise I won’t let you down. pic.twitter.com/I7LoNC4Arb — Jaime Harrison (@harrisonjaime) May 20, 2020

palmerreport--2020-05-21--Mike Pompeo’s entire world is unraveling by the minute

Mike Pompeo is one of those people who saw an opportunity for a shortcut to success by attaching himself to Donald Trump .
He went from middling Congressman to Trump ’ s CIA Director , and then after doing a terrible job , got promoted to Trump ’ s Secretary of State .
But when you make a deal with a devil like Trump , the devil always comes due – and Pompeo is finding that out right now .
Mike Pompeo helped Donald Trump engineer a corrupt arms deal with Saudi Arabia , and now it ’ s coming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the State Department Inspector General was investigating the deal , he asked Trump to fire the guy .
Trump obliged .
But when the firing predictably became a major scandal , Trump promptly claimed that he ’ d never even heard of the IG , and that the firing was all Pompeo ’ s doing .
Pompeo should have seen this coming , because Trump is famously disloyal to those who are most loyal to him .
But now it ’ s even worse for Pompeo .
A number of State Department @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Politico that they opposed the corrupt arms deal with Saudi Arabia .
Notably , they ’ re referring to it as Pompeo ’ s arms deal .
The Trump regime now appears intent on painting this arms deal as having been solely Mike Pompeo ’ s doing , which is what you do when you ’ re looking to scapegoat someone and shove them out the back door .
It probably won ’ t be much longer before Trump claims he didn ’ t even know about the arms deal , forces Pompeo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bill Barr try to pin the entire arms deal on him .
Pompeo is already earmarked for prison , if Trump loses the election , due to his role in the Ukraine extortion scandal .
Now it ’ s looking like Pompeo may not even survive until the election .

Mike Pompeo helped Donald Trump engineer a corrupt arms deal with Saudi Arabia, and now it’s coming home to roost. When Pompeo learned that the State Department Inspector General was investigating the deal, he asked Trump to fire the guy. Trump obliged. But when the firing predictably became a major scandal, Trump promptly claimed that he’d never even heard of the IG, and that the firing was all Pompeo’s doing.
Pompeo should have seen this coming, because Trump is famously disloyal to those who are most loyal to him. But now it’s even worse for Pompeo. A number of State Department and Defense Department officials are now telling Politico that they opposed the corrupt arms deal with Saudi Arabia. Notably, they’re referring to it as Pompeo’s arms deal.
The Trump regime now appears intent on painting this arms deal as having been solely Mike Pompeo’s doing, which is what you do when you’re looking to scapegoat someone and shove them out the back door. It probably won’t be much longer before Trump claims he didn’t even know about the arms deal, forces Pompeo to resign, and perhaps even has Bill Barr try to pin the entire arms deal on him. Pompeo is already earmarked for prison, if Trump loses the election, due to his role in the Ukraine extortion scandal. Now it’s looking like Pompeo may not even survive until the election.

palmerreport--2020-05-21--Donald Trump goes completely berserk and no one can even figure out what he’s talking about

Now that Donald Trump ’ s “ unmasking ” scandal has predictably fallen apart , he ’ s moving on to his next ludicrous distraction .
Trump has decided tonight that incoherently ranting about China and Joe Biden is somehow going to help his sinking poll numbers and worsening election prospects .
The trouble for Trump is twofold .
First , no matter what stunt he tries , his poll numbers just keep getting worse .
After all , the public isn ’ t looking for antics and noise , it ’ s looking for competence during a crisis – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of that to offer .
Second , with each passing day , Trump has even less of a grip on what he ’ s trying to talk about .
The result is that Trump ended up tweeting whatever this is supposed to be : Spokesman speaks stupidly on behalf of China , trying desperately to deflect the pain and carnage that their country spread throughout the world .
Its disinformation and propaganda attack on the United States and Europe is a disgrace .
It all comes from the top .
They could have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ didn ’ t !
What ’ s notable in this semi-incoherent screed is that Donald Trump now appears to be trying to pick a fight directly with Chinese President Xi , a guy he ’ s long claimed to have a friendship with .
Of course Trump is deeply in debt to a Chinese government-controlled bank as part of his failing real estate empire , so Trump has generally tiptoed around his feuds with China .
But Trump is desperate , so maybe he really is going after Xi this time .
Considering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him , that would be a mistake .

Of all the ugly words in the English language that describe Donald Trump, “deranged” might be the most apt. This week alone, Trump has done several things to remind us of just how deranged he is. But he’s not the only one who fits the description. Mike Pence did something so deranged today, he put lives in jeopardy in the process.
It was just twelve days ago that Mike Pence’s press secretary Katie Miller tested positive for coronavirus. This means Pence should still be in quarantine. Instead Pence traveled to Florida and visited a burger restaurant today with corrupt Governor Ron DeSantis – and just to rub it in, neither of these jerks wore a mask.
That means Mike Pence, who was recently exposed to the coronavirus and may currently have the virus, made a point of going out and potentially infecting a bunch of people who were merely looking for a hamburger. Evil pricks like Pence are the reason it’s not safe for the rest of us to go out in public.

For all his bluster, Donald Trump is usually bluffing when he loudly threatens to do something corrupt or evil. When he does corrupt and evil things, he usually tries to do them quietly, in the hope no one will notice. That was the case when he and his regime decided to end a deployment one day before National Guard members would have received benefits for it.
Last night Rachel Maddow loudly made a point of highlighting this scandal during her show. After Maddow and some other journalists made the whole thing a problem for Donald Trump, he and his regime backed down today, and decided to extend the deployment long enough for the National Guard members to get their benefits.
Score one for Rachel Maddow and the media. Trump was trying to screw National Guard members after they’ve gone out and put themselves at risk by carrying out support missions in coronavirus-infected areas. This is why the media is supposed to exist.

palmerreport--2020-05-21--Donald Trump changes his tune about taking hydroxychloroquine as his story begins to unravel

Earlier this week Donald Trump publicly announced that he ’ s been taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure , in light of a coronavirus outbreak in the White House .
He ’ s since faced sharp criticism for recklessly taking a drug that isn ’ t for coronavirus , and kills some people who take it .
A lot of people don ’ t even believe he ’ s really taking it .
Now that Trump has backed himself into a corner , he ’ s changing his tune in an attempt at getting himself out of it .
Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ll cease taking hydroxychloroquine two days from now , because he ’ s at the end of his regimen .
Here ’ s the thing , though : there is no regimen for taking hydroxychloroquine as a coronavirus preventative measure .
It ’ s not difficult to figure out what Trump is doing here .
By claiming that he ’ s somehow suddenly at the end of his prescribed hydroxychloroquine treatment , he ’ s trying to make the scandal go away .
He ’ ll be able to respond to criticism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ longer on the drug .
And while some are pushing him to take a drug test and prove he ’ s taking hydroxychloroquine , he can now simply say that he was taking it and he ’ s no longer taking it , so no test needed .
The problem for Donald Trump is that most people still aren ’ t going to believe him – particularly now that he ’ s suddenly claiming that it ’ s time for him to finish taking the drug .
Trump can ’ t even keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taking it .
At one point this week he said he ’ d been on it for several weeks , while at another point he claimed he ’ s been on it for a week and a half .
If he can ’ t remember when he supposedly started taking it , how does he know it ’ s time to stop taking it ?

Donald Trump is clearly in the midst of some kind of long term cognitive collapse. On some level this makes him even more dangerous than ever, because he’s now the byproduct of being 100% sociopathic and 50% senile. He’s just as evil as ever, but now his evil has an added layer of weirdness and incoherence to it. His failing mind is yet another reason why we must vote him out in large numbers.

palmerreport--2020-05-21--Michigan AG rips Donald Trump to pieces over mask scandal

Donald Trump is deranged enough that he ’ s now murdered 95,000 Americans by pretending the coronavirus was a hoax and then purposely blocking access to life saving medical supplies and testing .
So it ’ s not surprising that this serial killer is willing to put people ’ s lives at further risk by refusing to wear a mask in public .
Fortunately , Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is having none of it .
She went on CNN this morning and said this about Donald Trump ’ s visit to a Ford plant : “ If he fails @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s going to be asked not to return to any enclosed facility inside our state.
” Of course Trump refused to wear a mask during the portion of his Ford visit where the media could see him , and he bragged that he wasn ’ t willing to give the media the “ pleasure ” of seeing him with a mask on .
This means Trump is officially no longer allowed in any Michigan facility for the rest of the pandemic .

Donald Trump is deranged enough that he’s now murdered 95,000 Americans by pretending the coronavirus was a hoax and then purposely blocking access to life saving medical supplies and testing. So it’s not surprising that this serial killer is willing to put people’s lives at further risk by refusing to wear a mask in public.
Fortunately, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is having none of it. She went on CNN this morning and said this about Donald Trump’s visit to a Ford plant: “If he fails to wear a mask, he’s going to be asked not to return to any enclosed facility inside our state.”
Of course Trump refused to wear a mask during the portion of his Ford visit where the media could see him, and he bragged that he wasn’t willing to give the media the “pleasure” of seeing him with a mask on. This means Trump is officially no longer allowed in any Michigan facility for the rest of the pandemic.
Will Trump try to visit Michigan buildings going forward? Of course. He’s a career criminal and psychotic mass murderer, so why would he start listening to a state Attorney General? But he’s created an ugly scandal for himself, which will follow him throughout the election cycle, and continue to turn off voters in the middle. No wonder Trump’s numbers keep going down.

palmerreport--2020-05-21--Donald Trump’s desperation knows no bounds

As we count down the days until we reach the incredibly sad point of 100,000 American deaths due to COVID-19 , it ’ s important to remember that Donald Trump and his administration have not only done little to prevent this but has continually worked , for whatever reason , to prevent the ability to limit the death toll .
We ’ re all aware of Trump ’ s initial refusal to accept the facts from the scientific community that alerted us to the coming pandemic .
Instead of accepting the facts and working to ensure America was ready to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lies and propaganda because , as he has claimed , he ’ s simply a cheerleader instead of an actual , you know , LEADER .
On February 26th , despite all evidence saying otherwise , Trump publicly stated “ You have 15 people , and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.
” Sadly , and predictably , that was not the case and we recently hit 1,500,000 confirmed cases in America .
That ’ s right , less than 3 months ago @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get close to zero , but instead we have nearly 100,000 times the original 15 number .
And while that ’ s simply math , which is a subset of science , I ’ m confident Trump would find a way to dispute it , regardless of how dumb it played out .
The facts are clear : this is not “ just the flu ” and it will not “ magically go away.
” And yet , despite all the facts , science , and Trump tweets , we ’ re currently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do not seem to matter to an administration willing to allow more Americans to die if it even slightly moves the needle on his reelection campaign .
This is only more evident in Trump ’ s recent tweets threatening to withhold funding to states who are putting the safety of their citizens in consideration and offering absentee ballots , which is , despite Trump ’ s ignorant tweets , completely legal and very smart considering the current COVID-19 outbreaks occurring thanks to Trump pushing to open up the country too early .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ desperate and he sees his internal polls showing a massive landslide for Joe Biden .
Let ’ s all stay vigilant and safe so we can all ensure those polls remain accurate .

palmerreport--2020-05-21--This Amy Klobuchar leak doesn’t mean what you think it means

The media is reporting that the Joe Biden campaign is vetting Amy Klobuchar to be considered as his running mate .
This has set off a wave of excitement from those who want Klobuchar to be the pick , and a wave of consternation from those who don ’ t want Klobuchar to be it .
Here ’ s the thing , though : this isn ’ t even a story .
Joe Biden said there are about a dozen people on his running mate shortlist .
That means they ’ re all being vetted .
So when you see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being vetted , it merely means they ’ re on a shortlist of a dozen people – literally nothing more than that .
I warned you from the start to ignore every leak you hear about running mates .
Campaigns leak things as trial balloons .
Advisers leak things to try to steer their candidate in a certain direction .
People leak things to try to get picked .
It ’ s all posturing .
None of it ’ s factual .
This is yet another instance of the media taking a complete @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because everyone on the shortlist is being vetted ) and presenting it out of context to make you think it ’ s news , so it ’ ll rack up a bunch of page views .
Don ’ t be a pawn in that game .
If you want to react positively or negatively to any given leaked name , go for it .
In fact some of these leaks are specifically to gauge the public ’ s reaction .
But don ’ t let yourself be fooled into believing that these strategic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be picked .

At this point every Republican Senator who’s up for reelection in November has decided to sink or swim with Donald Trump. That’s not the brightest strategy, as the toxically unpopular Trump is on track to lose, and he’s in danger of taking the rest of the GOP down with him.
This brings us to Republican Senator John Cornyn. Texas is supposed to be a red state, but Joe Biden’s poll numbers are competitive there. Whether Biden can pick off Texas or not, it means Cornyn is vulnerable. Adding to Cornyn’s problems: Democratic candidate MJ Hegar, an Air Force veteran, is running an upstart campaign.
MJ Hegar called out John Cornyn over his corrupt antics:
First John Cornyn voted against expanding unemployment benefits. Then he told Texans those same benefits are a "lifeline." But after lunch with his DC bosses, he called them a "mistake." Texans are sick of his lying & bootlicking. It's time for a straight talker in the Senate. https://t.co/1Ed6yPku3t — MJ Hegar🇺🇦🌻 (@mjhegar) May 21, 2020

palmerreport--2020-05-21--Thank you Bernie Sanders!

Thank you Bernie Sanders!

Palmer Report readers know that I wasn ’ t exactly a supporter of Bernie Sanders ’ 2020 presidential campaign .
No need to rehash why .
But Bernie dropped out of the race in a reasonable timeframe and then endorsed Joe Biden pretty swiftly , and Bernie even put his foot down when it came to some former campaign staffers who were divisively going off the rails .
Now Bernie is doing something even better .
Bernie Sanders is now asking at least some of his delegates to agree in writing that they ’ ll behave responsibly at the Democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ booing , no being jerks to other politicians .
After the embarrassing manner in which some of Bernie ’ s delegates harassed various Democratic Party luminaries during their speeches in 2016 , this will be a welcome change .
So why is Bernie Sanders doing things so differently in 2020 than he did them in 2016 ?
You ’ d have to ask him .
Maybe he ’ s learned from last time .
Maybe he really is trying to make up for the horrifying behavior of some of his top 2020 campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he helps unite the party and it results in a big 2020 win that flips the Senate , he ’ s in line to become the Chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee .
Or maybe Bernie really is just that intent on helping to take Trump down .
Either way , it ’ s a welcome development .

palmerreport--2020-05-21--Donald Trump and his kids have a whole new problem

We now know how the Trump crime family made its millions , and it ain ’ t real estate .
Much to the chagrin of “ president ” Donald Trump and three of his adult children , Federal Judge Lorna G. Schofield , Southern District New York , is allowing a lawsuit to proceed against the Trump family .
The lawsuit involves an old-fashioned pyramid scheme , many of which are illegal for the very reason the Trumps are being sued .
Pyramid schemes take advantage of the most vulnerable , which is also Trump ’ s modus operandi .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ receive some type of comeuppance for all they have done over the years .
According to the plaintiffs ’ attorneys , Roberta A. Kaplan and Andrew G. Celli , Jr. : “ This case connects the dots at the Trump Organization and involves systematic fraud that spanned more than a decade.
” No wonder Daily Beast put the story under its “ get the popcorn ” section .
Trump , his sons Eric and Donald , Jr. and Ivanka are all named in the suit .
The identity of the plaintiffs remains anonymous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ safety “ given the heated political environment.
” They have that right .
When Trump ’ s insane supporters threaten Dr. Fauci for telling the truth and Governor Gretchen Whitmer for protecting the citizens of her state , these folks need to be careful as they are directly threatening the nuts ’ king .
A major player in this suit is ACN Opportunity , a telecommunications marketing firm that , according to Newsweek , paid Trump millions of dollars , and the Trump Network , which ran a phony vitamin scam and sold @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a snake oil salesman .
This suit also resembles the suit against Trump University , which was a scam that cost Trump $ 25 million dollars in settlement payouts the day before he was sworn into office .
Who knows what other scams are out there with the Trump name on them ?
They are a family of grifters , and this is how they make their living .
According to CNN , the scam with ACN Opportunity paid Trump and his children “ secret money ” to use Trump ’ s “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s brand to teens .
Talk about taking advantage of the vulnerable .
Teens like every new gadget on the market .
Make it look like the “ latest thing , ” and you have them hooked .
This scam was also marketed to people who wanted to start their own businesses or invest in their educations .
Just like Trump University , those people got nothing in return while the Trumps continued to line their pockets .
This is shameful , and what is more shameful is that the Trumps did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to quash this suit .
According to Bipartisan Report , the Trumps ’ “ enthusiastic endorsement ” of ACN was bought and paid for , which they had hoped to keep secret .
This corrupt behavior by the Trump family is nothing new , but it is rare that it is put out in the open as it will be with this case .
Now that the proverbial cat is out of the bag , expect the media to be all over the suit as it develops .
This really is a “ @ @ @ @ @ @

palmerreport--2020-05-21--Pete Buttigieg just put the smackdown on Donald Trump

Donald Trump seemed to think that Democratic Party disunity would be one of the best things he had going for him in 2020 .
But then a funny thing happened .
Once Joe Biden pulled way ahead and it became clear he was going to be the nominee , his Democratic opponents quickly began dropping out and endorsing him .
Trump is clearly still bitter over this , and he appears to be hanging on to the delusional hope that he can stir up new trouble within the Democratic ranks .
He went on a bizarre Twitter bender accusing Bernie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and others of having caved to Biden too easily .
Trump seemed to think that by hurling cheap insults and nicknames at them , he could… convince them to turn against Biden ?
Buttigieg promptly stepped in to put the smackdown on Trump ’ s delusions : “ You will not divide us .
We are uniting to restore compassion and competence to the White House .
We are uniting—Bernie , me , the others—in order to elect Joe Biden .
We are uniting to defeat you.
” Klobuchar than landed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ They say that hydroxychloroquine can lead to hallucinations .

palmerreport--2020-05-21--This Mike Pompeo thing is completely out of control

As Mike Pompeo ’ s Inspector General scandal continues to get uglier for him , we keep hearing rumblings in the mainstream media that this might all somehow be part of a plan by Pompeo to… run for President in four years ?
Wait , that can ’ t be right .
And yet we keep hearing this hallucinatory nonsense repeated as if it weren ’ t hallucinatory nonsense If Donald Trump loses , then Mike Pompeo will obviously go to prison for the crimes he committed in the Ukraine extortion scandal .
Even if Trump pardons Pompeo on his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for felonies isn ’ t exactly something that works on a presidential resume .
We ’ ve already been through this nonsense once before .
Back when it was becoming clear during the Ukraine scandal that Mike Pompeo was going to end up in prison , large chunks of the media began indulging in the delusion that Pompeo was somehow going to run for U.S. Senate in 2020 instead .
Sure .
As if the GOP was going to allow itself to get stuck with a Republican nominee for Senate whose entire campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and who was likely to get sent to prison after the election even if he did win .
Sure enough , after Palmer Report pointed out that there was literally zero chance Pompeo would run for Senate , he ended up publicly admitting he wasn ’ t running .
These seemingly drug-induced delusions are so far beyond the pale , you have to figure they ’ re coming directly from Mike Pompeo himself .
He appears to believe that by feeding the media these leaks about him running for Senate or President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it ’ ll combat the narrative that he ’ s a busted criminal who ’ s earmarked for prison .
Or maybe Pompeo ’ s brain is just so broken , he really does think he still has a future outside of a prison yard .
In any case , the media needs to stop indulging this nonsense , because it ’ s out of control .

Meanwhile back in the real world, Donald Trump is – at least anecdotally – losing Republican support. Just ask the Lincoln Project. Or better yet, ask this conservative U.S. military veteran who’s still a registered Republican, but plans to vote for the Democrat this time:

palmerreport--2020-05-22--Donald Trump’s latest “both sides” argument is bizarre even for him

This week Donald Trump has once again asked us to take our eye off the main issue – the worsening death toll – by maintaining that he , someone who has supposedly never done alcohol or any drugs , is abusing hydroxychloroquine .
Trump is also making the coronavirus a “ both sides ” event , stating : “ There is death on both sides .
There ’ s death on both sides .
There ’ s death in staying in a shutdown also.
” His military physician did not specifically state in his letter that Trump was in fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Thursday stated that he is about to finish his regiment using the medication .
Today , after first saying there are different kinds of per capita ( there aren ’ t ) , Trump announced “ positive ” news : “ And I tested very positively in another sense .
So this morning .
I tested positively toward negative , right ?
So no , I tested perfectly this morning .
Meaning I tested negative .
But that ’ s a way of saying it .
Positively toward the negative.
” No @ @ @ @ @ @ @ head speaks like that .
It is incoherent .
We have someone in the White House who urges others to do things that will endanger them , with reports of his supporters using hydroxychloroquine and getting sick .
He also shows his disregard for using the conventions Americans are told to use , such as facial coverings .
These are signs of someone who cares not about those he is supposed to lead .

No one who’s right in the head speaks like that. It is incoherent. We have someone in the White House who urges others to do things that will endanger them, with reports of his supporters using hydroxychloroquine and getting sick. He also shows his disregard for using the conventions Americans are told to use, such as facial coverings. These are signs of someone who cares not about those he is supposed to lead.

Even as Donald Trump continues to offend Americans and humiliate himself with his increasingly unhinged and incoherent public appearances, Joe Biden is taking a very different approach. Biden is simply doing media appearances and behaving like a real leader is supposed to behave.
To that end, Joe Biden appeared on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show on Thursday night and spoke about the grieving process for those who have lost loved ones in the coronavirus crisis (if the video below won’t load on your device, go here to watch it):
Nearly 100,000 Americans are dead. It's hard to fathom the widespread loss we are facing. But @JoeBiden gets it, and on the @colbertlateshow he commends those who are grieving and press forward.

After Rudy Giuliani got caught helping Donald Trump cook up an utterly deranged phony scandal involving Joe Biden and Ukraine, he then moved on to serving as Trump’s hype man for the phony “Obamagate” scandal. Now that this nonsense has unraveled as well, Rudy doesn’t know what to do with himself.
Just how far gone is Rudy? Well, he seems to think that this counts as a coherent thought:

Therefore, by refusing to wear a mask while the cameras were on him, Trump was knowingly flaunting his disregard for the law, and for the lives of others. The Attorney General of Michigan has warned Ford that it’ll face punishment if it allows another guest to not wear a mask, and Trump can’t handle that.
Now Trump is melting down tonight, attacking the Michigan Attorney General, and seemingly threatening to have Ford Motor Company move out of the state. It’s not clear how he’s going to somehow get Ford to do this, but in his increasingly hallucinatory rants, facts and logic don’t play a role.
But hey, Donald Trump is getting to call the Michigan Attorney General “vicious” and “wacky” in a tweet storm, so he probably doesn’t care if this nonsense helps or hurts his election prospects. We’re surprised Trump didn’t jump straight to calling her “nasty,” which is what he usually calls women.

There are certain Fox News hosts – particularly in the morning and evening – who have built their audiences entirely around the premise that Donald Trump is God .

Considering how dependent Donald Trump ’ s fading reelection hopes are on the pro-Trump propaganda that Fox News pumps out , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he ’ s losing his mind over how Fox is continuing to incrementally turn against him .
Trump posted this surreal tweet today accordingly : Many will disagree , but Fox News is doing nothing to help Republicans , and me , get re-elected on November 3rd .
Sure , there are some truly GREAT people on Fox , but you also have some real “ garbage ” littered all over the network , people like Dummy Juan Williams , Schumerite Chris Hahn , Richard Goodstein , Donna Brazile , Niel Cavuto @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the worst of the Democrat speaking points , and lies .
All of the good is totally nullified , and more .
Net Result = BAD !
CNN & MSDNC are all in for the Do Nothing Democrats !
Fox WAS Great !
The reality is that Fox News hosts are each going to go where their respective audiences want them to go , and not where Donald Trump wants them to go .
The more unpopular Trump becomes , the less Fox will do to prop him up .
Trump is right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump would do well to learn how to spell the names of the Fox hosts he ’ s bashing .
It ’ s “ Neil Cavuto ” not “ Niel Cavuto .

I will be lowering the flags on all Federal Buildings and National Monuments to half-staff over the next three days in memory of the Americans we have lost to the CoronaVirus. On Monday, the flags will be at half-staff in honor of the men and women in our Military who have made the Ultimate Sacrifice for our Nation.
That’s all well and good, but we all know that Donald Trump is only reluctantly doing this because the Democrats pushed him into it. Trump has done far too little to acknowledge the worsening death toll and the human tragedy involved in this crisis. So much for it being a hoax.

Donald Trump has long been running a con game where he tries to look good by donating his presidential salary back to the government, only to then turn around and run various cons to steer a far larger amount of government money into his own pocket. To that end, Kayleigh McEnany held up a check that Trump wrote to the HHS, donating his salary – but the check had Trump’s bank account and routing number on it. No, really.
That’s right, Trump’s press secretary just accidentally gave out Trump’s personal banking information on live national television. We’re guessing Trump’s financial handlers are already working to lock down or change his bank account details, but this still exposes Trump to potential hackery.
In addition, the public reveal of this kind of personal banking information could or could not end up making it easier for the House, and the New York grand jury, to get to the bottom of Trump’s financial crimes.
