palmerreport--2020-06-10--This is how hard-up Donald Trump is

This is how hard-up Donald Trump is

This week General Colin Powell – a Republican who had prominent roles in both Bush administrations – announced that he ’ s voting for Joe Biden because he ’ s reasonable and Donald Trump is simply not an option .
It served as a reminder that nearly all of the prominent endorsements in the 2020 election have gone to Biden and not to Trump .
If you want to get a sense of just how hard-up Donald Trump is for endorsements at this point , he finally landed one today when George P. Bush endorsed him .
That ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a comparatively obscure member of the Bush family , and he ’ s considered a punchline among those who have heard of him .
And yet Donald Trump is desperate , he promptly tweeted “ Thank you George , great honor !
” This would be like Joe Biden getting endorsed by some Democrat who ’ s an obscure joke , and then making a big deal out of it .
But Biden doesn ’ t have to do that , because he ’ s already been endorsed by heavyweights including Barack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Elizabeth Warren , Pete Buttigieg , Amy Klobuchar , Hillary Clinton , Al Gore , Colin Powell , John Lewis , and on and on .

This week General Colin Powell – a Republican who had prominent roles in both Bush administrations – announced that he’s voting for Joe Biden because he’s reasonable and Donald Trump is simply not an option. It served as a reminder that nearly all of the prominent endorsements in the 2020 election have gone to Biden and not to Trump.
If you want to get a sense of just how hard-up Donald Trump is for endorsements at this point, he finally landed one today when George P. Bush endorsed him. That’s not a typo. George P. Bush is a comparatively obscure member of the Bush family, and he’s considered a punchline among those who have heard of him. And yet Donald Trump is desperate, he promptly tweeted “Thank you George, great honor!”
This would be like Joe Biden getting endorsed by some Democrat who’s an obscure joke, and then making a big deal out of it. But Biden doesn’t have to do that, because he’s already been endorsed by heavyweights including Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Colin Powell, John Lewis, and on and on.

palmerreport--2020-06-11--Donald Trump throws psychotic tantrum about his collapsing poll numbers

The Trump 2020 campaign continues to become less about trying to win , and more about trying to placate an increasingly delusional and fading Donald Trump .
Instead of holding a rally next week in a swing state that Trump needs , he ’ s holding rally in a state that he already has in the bag , because the crowd will cheer him more loudly there .
And instead of trying to do anything about his collapsing poll numbers , he ’ s insisting they ’ re fake .
Donald Trump ’ s 2020 campaign has sent a letter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ retract its recent poll showing Joe Biden up by fourteen points , and apologize for having dared to publish the poll in the first place .
Naturally , CNN ’ s response to the letter is to roll its eyes .
Nevermind that Trump is doing nearly as badly in every other poll ; the CNN poll in particular got under Trump ’ s skin , so his campaign is carrying out a tantrum on his behalf , in order to sate him .
This is what Donald Trump has been reduced to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know how to get his poll numbers up , so instead they tell him he ’ s secretly winning .
Whenever Trump sees on TV how ugly his poll numbers are , his handlers tell him the numbers are fake .
And when Trump demands that something be done about the “ fake ” polls , his handlers send a silly letter .
This isn ’ t campaigning ; it ’ s triage .

Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign has sent a letter to CNN, demanding that the network retract its recent poll showing Joe Biden up by fourteen points, and apologize for having dared to publish the poll in the first place. Naturally, CNN’s response to the letter is to roll its eyes. Nevermind that Trump is doing nearly as badly in every other poll; the CNN poll in particular got under Trump’s skin, so his campaign is carrying out a tantrum on his behalf, in order to sate him.
This is what Donald Trump has been reduced to. His campaign staffers don’t know how to get his poll numbers up, so instead they tell him he’s secretly winning. Whenever Trump sees on TV how ugly his poll numbers are, his handlers tell him the numbers are fake. And when Trump demands that something be done about the “fake” polls, his handlers send a silly letter. This isn’t campaigning; it’s triage.

palmerreport--2020-06-10--Donald Trump really is getting played by his own handlers

The Trump 2020 campaign announced today that Donald Trump will resume holding in-person campaign rallies next week , pandemic be damned , because Donald Trump ’ s narcissistic ego is more important than whether his own supporters get sick or die .
This is entirely expected .
Here ’ s the real story , though : the campaign says the first rally will be in Tulsa , Oklahoma of all places .
What is there for Trump to gain right now by holding a campaign rally in Oklahoma ?
Nothing .
That ’ s a totally safe state for Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lose it is if he ends up getting blown out by such a huge margin nationwide , he loses red states too .
Even in that scenario , Trump can ’ t turn things around simply by campaigning in Oklahoma .
Trump ’ s handlers have clearly put together this rally for the sole purpose of making sure that Donald Trump is in front of a large audience of fawning worshippers .
This will ensure that Trump ’ s ego gets properly stroked , and it ’ ll allow him to think that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ winning the election .
Donald Trump ’ s handlers are playing him .
They ’ re running a losing campaign .
They either don ’ t know how to turn things around for their dead-weight candidate , or they don ’ t care .
They ’ re just trying to make sure Trump is properly sated , so he ’ ll think he ’ s winning , and he won ’ t fire them before election day .
Because far too many pundits are still hung up on the notion that Donald Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they ’ re going to spend a lot of time trying to decipher why he ’ s kicking off his rally tour in Oklahoma .
They ’ ll try to parse his secret evil genius plan for being there .
They ’ ll toss around words like “ firing up his base , ” as if that weren ’ t a gibberish phrase .
Sure , Trump is having this rally on Juneteenth , in the home of the Tulsa race riots .
He and his handlers are as evil as ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” still isn ’ t campaign strategy , no matter how many pundits repeat that phrase .
It ’ s not a thing you waste time on when you ’ re this far behind .
Look at Trump ’ s poll numbers ; there is no plan .
The reality is that Trump ’ s handlers are just trying to keep him sated as his campaign goes off a cliff .
They ’ re playing him for the fading fool that he is , so they can keep getting paid through election day @

palmerreport--2020-06-10--Judge Sullivan scores big win over Bill Barr in Michael Flynn case

With everything else that ’ s going on , it ’ s easy to forget that Donald Trump and Bill Barr are still trying to keep convicted criminal Michael Flynn from going to prison .
Barr had the DOJ drop the case against Flynn , even though Flynn pleaded guilty and confessed in detail .
But Judge Emmet Sullivan isn ’ t having any of it , and he ’ s been fighting back .
Today he scored a major victory .
Judge Sullivan appointed retired Judge John Gleeson to essentially take over the prosecution and issue an opinion on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drop the case against Michael Flynn .
Gleeson has now released his findings , and the whole thing is essentially one bigs catching expose on Bill Barr ’ s corrupt antics in the case .
This is going to give Judge Sullivan significant leverage when it comes to fending off further attempts on the part of Barr and Flynn at subverting the legal system .
It increases the odds that Sullivan will end up being able to send Flynn to prison in the end .
And it could leave Donald Trump in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to pardon Flynn , which would hurt him in the polls , or let Flynn rot in prison , which could prompt Flynn to cut a deal against him .

Donald Trump just lost NASCAR

In a sign of the times , NASCAR announced today that it ’ s finally banning the confederate flag from its races and properties .
It ’ s a major , if way-too-belated , step for a sport where fans in the infield used to fly a sea of confederate flags during races .
NASCAR understands that it has to grudgingly get with the times if it wants to remain financially viable in an evolving society .
Then there ’ s Donald Trump .
At nearly the exact same time NASCAR was banning the confederate flag today , Trump was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the names of the handful of U.S. military bases that are named for confederate traitors .
Trump surely wishes that NASCAR would back him up on his pro-confederacy stances , but the smart money is moving on .
Donald Trump seems to think that he can still gain votes by pushing racial divisiveness .
That may have worked in building his base to begin with .
But his sinking poll numbers make more clear than ever that his racist base alone isn ’ t enough to float him .
Trump may be pandering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NASCAR understands that things are changing – and Trump just doesn ’ t get it .

Trump surely wishes that NASCAR would back him up on his pro-confederacy stances, but the smart money is moving on.
Donald Trump seems to think that he can still gain votes by pushing racial divisiveness. That may have worked in building his base to begin with.

palmerreport--2020-06-10--Donald Trump suddenly has a 27% problem

Donald Trump suddenly has a 27% problem

Sometimes we get a little too hung up on Donald Trump ’ s base .
Election-wise , they ’ re irrelevant .
They didn ’ t get Trump elected to begin with , and they won ’ t get him elected again , because they ’ re not large enough .
The people outside Trump ’ s base , who have only ever passively supported him , will decide his fate – not his core base of idiots .
That said , Trump ’ s base is so stupid , so ignorant , so delusional , we can ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like a train wreck .
So when new polling surfaced today which showed that 27 % of Americans think Trump is a man of faith , most observers missed the point entirely .
They asked how it ’ s possible that 27 % of the country is deranged enough to view this violent blasphemous monster as a man of faith .
While that ’ s a question worth pondering , it ’ s not the important number in this poll .
This same poll says that 55 % of Americans believe Trump is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rest being unsure .
In other words , barely a fourth of Americans think Trump is good Christian , while a majority of Americans think he ’ s a fake Christian .
Considering how much time and effort Trump has invested in trying to sell everyone on the notion that he ’ s an evangelical Christian , this is a stunning failure for him .
The numbers are also ugly for Donald Trump when this same poll zeroes in on respondents who consider themselves to be Christians .
Only about one-third of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while half of them believe he ’ s not one .
So if Trump has been counting on the churches to brainwash their attendees into believing he ’ s a Christian , that hasn ’ t been happening .

palmerreport--2020-06-10--Sean Hannity goes completely off the deep end as Donald Trump circles the drain

It ’ s hardly newsworthy anymore that Donald Trump has a meltdown over some trivial nonsense on Twitter – or that he ’ s breaking down over the wrong thing when he should be focused on a major screwup that he ’ s either directly or indirectly responsible for .
On Tuesday night , however , the biggest outburst came not from Trump ’ s Twitter account , but from his favorite Fox pundit , Sean Hannity , whose show tonight was so outrageous and insane , the most offensive clip rapidly blew up on social media and even earned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Party pundit Joe Walsh .
In a desperate attempt to make Donald Trump ’ s reckless response to George Floyd ’ s death seem reasonable , Sean Hannity may have in fact made things much worse for Trump and perhaps a number of fellow conservative pundits and politicians .
Even though he said he wasn ’ t making any comparisons , Hannity decided it would be a good time to say that like George Floyd , Donald Trump was also the victim of crooked cops who damaged the country .
There ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was taken out of context .
He knew what he was doing by going there – inciting the same dangerous bigots spurred on by Donald Trump ’ s rallies .
If that idiotic rant that he used to justify his usual inane conspiracy theories wasn ’ t bad enough , he also thought it ’ d be a good time to promote a gun that shoots projectiles with pepper spray .
While he may have been making himself out to be a good loyalist , it ’ s probably not going to look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this trainwreck in any way – coming off the heels of him retweeting a QAnon conspiracy theory .
Hannity ’ s comments also bring Russia back to the forefront , right when a judge wants William Barr to testify about the unredacted Mueller report .
This is the worst possible look Republicans could have right now – and you can expect a few of them to throw this back at Hannity .

If the job of a comedian is to make you laugh so you’ll hear the truth, then Jim Gaffigan is one of the best. But when Trump launched a psychotic attack on the elderly protester who had been assaulted by the Buffalo police, Gaffigan turned things around on Trump.
In response to Trump’s tweet, Jim Gaffigan posted this: “Disgusting! A disgusting comment from a horrible heartless fool. How embarrassing and sad! Someone should tell Trump to stick to comedy.” Based on the replies, most of his followers agreed with him – but some of them clearly didn’t.
In response, Gaffigan laid down some truth: “Expecting equal justice and being against police brutality is NOT “being political”. It’s called basic empathy. I’m sorry if my opinions on these things are “too radical” for a couple of you. Go in peace.” Then he added, “Also Trump is a monster!”

palmerreport--2020-06-10--An expert tells us Donald Trump is going to prison

Frank Swain , the award-winning science writer for the BBC , once tweeted this : This charming little tweet reminds me why I value experts over non-experts .
Experts know what they ’ re talking about .
Non-experts make guesses and crow when they are “ right ” entirely by accident and — not without justification — hope everyone forgets when they ’ re wrong .
It ’ s an old trick used by “ psychics ” too .
There are a lot of non-experts out there , many of whom write columns for the news media for a living @ @ @ @ @ @ @ baleful , regretful news that Donald Trump is most emphatically not going to prison after he leaves office .
With patient condescension they explain why .
Trump is different , they say .
Such things simply don ’ t happen to ex-presidents , they say .
We would be no better than a third world country if every time a president left office his successor put him in jail , they say .
And so on .
But like I said , I prefer the opinions of experts .
Experts study their field @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in those fields professionally 40 hours a week .
Experts actually know what they ’ re talking about .
Lucky for me I know one of those experts personally .
Mark Allenbaugh is a lawyer and former staffer with the U.S .
Sentencing Commission .
These days he is a consultant for other lawyers about sentencing guidelines and statutes for his company , Sentencing Stats , LLC .
Mark isn ’ t just an expert in his field , he has good instincts for everything he puts his mind to .
I have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confidence in him .
Mark frequently travels to China and he saw the coming coronavirus pandemic and the resulting problems it would cause long before most people did .
It was from Mark that I learned what an N-95 mask was a number of weeks before ” N-95 mask ” started trending as a household word .
It was from Mark that I first learned that coronavirus was going to be a major problem for the world .
But it ’ s as a lawyer and expert in criminal justice that Mark Allenbaugh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in how the criminal just system works , and he has some very bad news for Donald Trump : not only is Trump going to prison , he ’ s either going to prison for the rest of his life , or he will die on the way there .
Mark puts it this way , “ I think it is a near certainty that he will be charged .
I ’ d say there ’ s a fifty-fifty chance he will be remanded before trial .
However , I give it about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go to trial or plead .
Once he ’ s indicted , plus the overwhelming negative press that will constantly berate him , and once everyone disavows him with the formerly racists burning their MAGA caps ( so they literally don ’ t get lynched ) , he will die .
The depression will be overwhelming .
Given his age and poor health , I don ’ t see him making it to 2022.
” But with what will Trump be charged ?
Mark explains : “ Well , there is a pantheon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But let ’ s go with the mundane .
Money laundering and tax evasion are probably the lowest hanging fruit that he ’ s run through his hotels and golf resorts .
Each count brings up to 20 years imprisonment .
And given the amount of money involved , his guidelines sentence will be well into decades in length.
” As he said , Mark doesn ’ t even expect Donald Trump will make it to trial because Trump will probably die first .
“ But all that is academic .
Given @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beyond a year will be a de facto life sentence for him .
The real question is whether a judge will bond him out .
Normally they do in federal court by just a signature bond .
Meaning no collateral is even required like in most state courts .
“ However , here Trump clearly is a flight risk and ostensibly a danger to the community .
Witness tampering/intimidation may be a charge too with respect to Michael Cohen and others .
But just the flight risk alone based on his substantial ties @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and his means to flee , again , I think there ’ s a fifty-fifty chance he will not be bonded out .
In which case he will sit in prison just like [ Paul ] Manafort.
” But , isn ’ t Trump the healthiest president of all time , according , at least , to doctors who work for him ?
“ Of course , Trump will change his tune from such a healthy specimen to one loaded with uncontrolled , terminal health issues in order to stay out [ of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What would Mark do in the judge ’ s position ?
“ Frankly , if I were the judge , I ’ d bond him out and hope he ’ d flee the country .
[ It ] would spare the expense and theatrics of a trial and give us leverage over whatever country he fled to.
” Mark ’ s knowledge of the life expectancy of charged or incarcerated persons isn ’ t merely anecdotal .
He knows what the latest science has to say about it .
Mark quotes a study @ @ @ @ @ @ @ University , someone he knows professionally .
“ According to her peer-reviewed study , on average an inmate loses two years of life expectancy for every year of incarceration .
However , in conversations with her , she has emphasized that older inmates will be even more adversely affected , but her study did not specifically focus on them .
So , let ’ s say Trump has 10 years of life expectancy at the time he is sentenced .
If he is sentenced to anything more than 3.3 years in prison , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Add to that his age and obesity … and anything more than one year will be a de facto life sentence .
Plus , given who he is , he will likely be in a special housing unit the entire time , i.e.
, isolation .
He will literally go mad.
” I had no idea what Mark Allenbaugh would say before I asked him these questions .
I supposed in advance he would echo the same grim narrative that many pundits and talking heads in the media support , namely that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are above the law .
I ’ m pleased to learn from Mark that most certainly isn ’ t the case and that justice is possible in this instance .
It is therefore up to us to ensure that we give justice its chance .
Joe Biden has already promised that he will not pardon Donald Trump if he ’ s elected president .
So we must vote this child-raping , murdering monster Donald Trump out of office in November , end his egregious reign of tyranny and set loose the righteous vengeance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And , as ever , ladies and gentlemen , brothers and sisters , comrades and friends , stay safe .

Frank Swain, the award-winning science writer for the BBC, once tweeted this:
Study 3 years for degree.
Study 3 more for PhD.
Join lab, start working.
Spend years studying problem.
Form hypothesis, gather evidence.
Test hypothesis, form conclusions.
Report findings, clear peer review.
Findings published, reported in press. Guy on internet: “Bullshit.”
This charming little tweet reminds me why I value experts over non-experts. Experts know what they’re talking about. Non-experts make guesses and crow when they are “right” entirely by accident and — not without justification — hope everyone forgets when they’re wrong. It’s an old trick used by “psychics” too.
There are a lot of non-experts out there, many of whom write columns for the news media for a living, who are full of the theatrically baleful, regretful news that Donald Trump is most emphatically not going to prison after he leaves office. With patient condescension they explain why. Trump is different, they say. Such things simply don’t happen to ex-presidents, they say. We would be no better than a third world country if every time a president left office his successor put him in jail, they say. And so on.
But like I said, I prefer the opinions of experts. Experts study their field of expertise for years and are employed in those fields professionally 40 hours a week. Experts actually know what they’re talking about. Lucky for me I know one of those experts personally.
Mark Allenbaugh is a lawyer and former staffer with the U.S. Sentencing Commission. These days he is a consultant for other lawyers about sentencing guidelines and statutes for his company, Sentencing Stats, LLC.
Mark isn’t just an expert in his field, he has good instincts for everything he puts his mind to. I have recent personal experience to further justify my confidence in him. Mark frequently travels to China and he saw the coming coronavirus pandemic and the resulting problems it would cause long before most people did. It was from Mark that I learned what an N-95 mask was a number of weeks before ”N-95 mask” started trending as a household word. It was from Mark that I first learned that coronavirus was going to be a major problem for the world.
But it’s as a lawyer and expert in criminal justice that Mark Allenbaugh shines professionally. Mark is a virtuoso in how the criminal just system works, and he has some very bad news for Donald Trump: not only is Trump going to prison, he’s either going to prison for the rest of his life, or he will die on the way there. Mark puts it this way, “I think it is a near certainty that he will be charged. I’d say there’s a fifty-fifty chance he will be remanded before trial. However, I give it about a zero percent chance he will ever go to trial or plead. Once he’s indicted, plus the overwhelming negative press that will constantly berate him, and once everyone disavows him with the formerly racists burning their MAGA caps (so they literally don’t get lynched), he will die. The depression will be overwhelming. Given his age and poor health, I don’t see him making it to 2022.”
But with what will Trump be charged? Mark explains: “Well, there is a pantheon of charges he’s looking at. But let’s go with the mundane. Money laundering and tax evasion are probably the lowest hanging fruit that he’s run through his hotels and golf resorts. Each count brings up to 20 years imprisonment. And given the amount of money involved, his guidelines sentence will be well into decades in length.”
As he said, Mark doesn’t even expect Donald Trump will make it to trial because Trump will probably die first. “But all that is academic. Given his age and health, any sentence beyond a year will be a de facto life sentence for him. The real question is whether a judge will bond him out. Normally they do in federal court by just a signature bond. Meaning no collateral is even required like in most state courts.
“However, here Trump clearly is a flight risk and ostensibly a danger to the community. Witness tampering/intimidation may be a charge too with respect to Michael Cohen and others. But just the flight risk alone based on his substantial ties to foreign countries such as Russia, and his means to flee, again, I think there’s a fifty-fifty chance he will not be bonded out. In which case he will sit in prison just like [Paul] Manafort.”
But, isn’t Trump the healthiest president of all time, according, at least, to doctors who work for him? “Of course, Trump will change his tune from such a healthy specimen to one loaded with uncontrolled, terminal health issues in order to stay out [of prison while awaiting trial].”
What would Mark do in the judge’s position? “Frankly, if I were the judge, I’d bond him out and hope he’d flee the country. [It] would spare the expense and theatrics of a trial and give us leverage over whatever country he fled to.”
Mark’s knowledge of the life expectancy of charged or incarcerated persons isn’t merely anecdotal. He knows what the latest science has to say about it. Mark quotes a study done by Dr. Evelyn Patterson of Vanderbilt University, someone he knows professionally. “According to her peer-reviewed study, on average an inmate loses two years of life expectancy for every year of incarceration. However, in conversations with her, she has emphasized that older inmates will be even more adversely affected, but her study did not specifically focus on them. So, let’s say Trump has 10 years of life expectancy at the time he is sentenced. If he is sentenced to anything more than 3.3 years in prison, he almost certainly will die in prison.

I had no idea what Mark Allenbaugh would say before I asked him these questions. I supposed in advance he would echo the same grim narrative that many pundits and talking heads in the media support, namely that there is no justice and that presidents are above the law. I’m pleased to learn from Mark that most certainly isn’t the case and that justice is possible in this instance. It is therefore up to us to ensure that we give justice its chance.
Joe Biden has already promised that he will not pardon Donald Trump if he’s elected president. So we must vote this child-raping, murdering monster Donald Trump out of office in November, end his egregious reign of tyranny and set loose the righteous vengeance of justice upon him at long last. And, as ever, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, comrades and friends, stay safe.

Don’t get too excited; Lindsey Graham didn’t lose last night. But here’s the thing. He only got about 67% of the vote in the Republican primary race. That’s exceptionally low for an incumbent Senator. And it’s not as if he was merely up against some uniquely popular challenger. The other thirty-three percent of the vote was split three ways, among Republican candidates you’ve never heard of.
This is a bad sign for Lindsey Graham in the general election. It means that he doesn’t even have strong support within his own party in South Carolina; one third of Republican primary voters tried to replace him on Tuesday. This means Graham is particularly vulnerable heading into a general election in which the Democrats in South Carolina are highly motivated to get rid of him, and strongly united behind Jaime Harrison.

In November the state will pick two new U.S .

The sanctity of every election is important in its own right. But last night’s Georgia primary doesn’t amount to a hill of beans in comparison the upcoming general election in Georgia. In November the state will pick two new U.S. Senators, and play a role in the presidential election as well. Republican Governor Brian Kemp, a Trump acolyte, is clearly looking to rig all of these elections in the GOP’s favor. We know this because he showed his hand last night. Now we even know part of how he’s planning to do it.
Kemp appears to have made a huge mistake. Now that he’s shown his hand this early, we have five months to fight him in court on every aspect of voting rights, and to shine a light on his corruption, and to figure out how to work around the games he’s planning to play with polling sites.
When you’re trying to cheat, the element of surprise is the best thing you’ve got going for you. If Brian Kemp were smart, he’d have avoided meddling in last night’s primary election, where he didn’t gain anything anyway, and he’d have saved his tricks for November. It’ll still be a mess, but Kemp just stupidly gave away at least part of his gameplan. He’s gotten overconfident – and now it’s our turn to exploit his sloppiness.

As Americans of various races, ethnicities, religions and backgrounds continue to come together in the name of equality, the worst of politicians aren’t sure what to do with themselves. Donald Trump is now accusing peaceful protesters of being domestic terrorists. Ted Cruz is taking things a step further.
Protesters in Minneapolis took down a statue of genocidal maniac Christopher Columbus, a move that the government should have made a long time ago. But Ted Cruz didn’t like the sight of progress, tweeting that the protesters were “American Taliban.” Well okay then.
So many people pushed back against Ted Cruz’s bizarre meltdown, the phrase “American Taliban” immediately began trending on Twitter – and suffice it to say that just about no one was on his side. Divisive grifters like Trump and Cruz can only pull of their con games if they can turn large numbers of Americans against each other. Nothing scares them more than seeing most Americans coming together.

Tonight he announced that “ ugly anarchists must be stooped ” – that ’ s right , stooped .
He ’ s so far removed from coherence that when he yelled out “ LAW & ORDER @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claim that Seattle had fallen to terrorists , it was unclear if he was calling for law and order , or if he got distracted by a rerun of Law & Order .
But really , this guy ’ s got to go .
Yes , Joe Biden has a huge lead , and yes , Donald Trump has no idea how to turn his numbers around .

palmerreport--2020-06-11--Here’s the thing about those new Donald Trump campaign ads on MSNBC

If you ’ ve been watching MSNBC and CNN during prime time this week , you ’ ve noticed a new and highly unappealing addition : TV ads for the Donald Trump 2020 campaign .
These ads seem bizarrely out of place .
Few CNN viewers are open to the possibility of voting for Trump , and just about zero MSNBC viewers are open to voting for Trump .
Well actually , not literally zero .
Donald Trump ’ s Twitter rants give away that he flips through the cable news dial during prime time each night .
He often @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instance , while more rarely attacking MSNBC host Rachel Maddow .
But the point is that he ’ s not just watching Fox News and OANN ; he ’ s always narcissistically flipping the dial to see how he ’ s being covered .
It ’ s not difficult to parse that the Trump 2020 campaign is running these new primetime ads , which won ’ t gain Donald Trump any votes , for the sole purpose of making sure Trump sees them .
That way he ’ s lulled into believing that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the board , and his incompetent campaign advisers get to keep their jobs all the way to election day without getting fired .
The more money the Trump 2020 campaign wastes on running expensive TV ads just to snow Donald Trump , the less money the campaign has for other expenditures .
So for that reason we should actually welcome the Trump campaign ads on MSNBC .

He often attacks CNN host Don Lemon, for instance, while more rarely attacking MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. But the point is that he’s not just watching Fox News and OANN; he’s always narcissistically flipping the dial to see how he’s being covered.
It’s not difficult to parse that the Trump 2020 campaign is running these new primetime ads, which won’t gain Donald Trump any votes, for the sole purpose of making sure Trump sees them. That way he’s lulled into believing that his do-nothing campaign is being aggressive across the board, and his incompetent campaign advisers get to keep their jobs all the way to election day without getting fired.
The more money the Trump 2020 campaign wastes on running expensive TV ads just to snow Donald Trump, the less money the campaign has for other expenditures. So for that reason we should actually welcome the Trump campaign ads on MSNBC.

Just now, Donald Trump tweeted “…And the Trump family didn’t ask the Federal government for money to carry this and many other very expensive to carry properties!” This wasn’t the second part of a thread; he simply started talking in the middle of a sentence. The only clue to what he’s talking about is a link to a Trump Doral tweet that he included – but it’s a link to a tweet that doesn’t even exist.
If this all sounds confusing, it is. Donald Trump tried to link to a tweet that either never existed, or was deleted before he tried to link to it. The result on his account was this:
That’s right, Donald Trump is out there having a complete meltdown about a nonexistent tweet, starting his thoughts in the middle of a sentence, and reminding us that his senility is getting incrementally worse by the day.

palmerreport--2020-06-11--Tucker Carlson just suffered a major blow

As Donald Trump ’ s popularity continues to collapse , and even many conservative Americans are beginning to support movements like Black Lives Matter , the hosts on Fox News have two choices .
They can begin to incrementally evolve themselves , in order to match their incrementally evolving audience .
Or they can histrionically double down on racist hysteria , like Tucker Carlson has been doing this week , and begin paying the price accordingly .
No matter what your ratings are , you can ’ t survive as a cable news host if your advertisers start abandoning you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We saw that when Bill O ’ Reilly started bleeding advertisers after his sexual misconduct came to light .
To that end , Tucker Carlson – who has spent the past week telling his audience that black people are coming to get them – has lost five major advertisers today .
Media Matters says that Carlson has now lost T-Mobile , SmileDirectClub , Disney , Papa John ’ s , and Vari .
Fox News will attempt to replace these advertisers with new ones .
But with so many companies now boycotting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to significantly reduce the ad rates in order to attract new clients .
His show will end up being full of no-name advertisers who are paying very little for the slot .
If Tucker Carlson ’ s show becomes unprofitable enough , Fox News will cancel him , because it can ’ t afford to have a primetime hour that loses money .
We ’ ll see if the growing advertiser boycott puts Carlson past the cancellation threshold or not .
But this is a major blow for him .
The key @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Carlson ’ s racism , so the advertisers that are abandoning him today can ’ t just quietly come back to him in a month once everyone has stopped paying attention .

To that end, Tucker Carlson – who has spent the past week telling his audience that black people are coming to get them – has lost several major advertisers today.
Media Matters says that Carlson has now lost T-Mobile, Disney, Papa John’s, and Vari (Update: SmileDirectClub has clarified that they ceased advertising on the show in May, for reasons that are not related to current events). Fox News will attempt to replace these advertisers with new ones. But with so many companies now boycotting Carlson’s show, Fox will have to significantly reduce the ad rates in order to attract new clients. His show will end up being full of no-name advertisers who are paying very little for the slot.

We’ll see if the growing advertiser boycott puts Carlson past the cancellation threshold or not. But this is a major blow for him.

Saw that coming

It ’ s too little too late , and it deserves no praise or reward , but it ’ s finally beginning to happen : the Republicans in the House and Senate are finally starting to distance themselves from Donald Trump .
In fact Forbes has documented an entire list of recent ways in which the GOP is now incrementally distancing itself from Trump .
So what happened ?
We finally hit the threshold that Palmer Report has been telling you about for three and a half years .
There was never any timeframe for when the GOP would begin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It was never going to be about his behavior .
It was never going to be a matter of right vs wrong , or growing a spine .
Those aren ’ t real concepts in Republican land .
Instead , it was always going to come down to one thing : math .
If Trump ’ s numbers ever got so low that Republicans in the House and Senate started to think they would be selfishly better off in their own careers by throwing him under the bus , they were always going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The only question all this time was whether Trump ’ s numbers were ever going to get that ugly .
But with his approval rating falling down into the thirties , and precious little time to turn things around before the election , the GOP players are increasingly starting to bet on Trump losing .
Again , we award them no points for this .
Every single Republican in the House and Senate ( except Mitt Romney ) voted to acquit Donald Trump when they knew he was guilty and could have removed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t about them .
This is about Trump – and their selfish decision to start distancing themselves from him is a good barometer of where they think things are headed .

palmerreport--2020-06-12--Donald Trump just vowed to invade Seattle

To give you an idea of what a joke Donald Trump has turned the presidency into , consider that when the President of the United States announced last night that Seattle had been overtaken by domestic terrorists , most Americans just rolled their eyes at his nonsense and went about their business .
Now Trump is taking his hallucinations even further by outright vowing to invade Seattle if the Governor and Mayor don ’ t get the imaginary domestic terrorists under control : By now , smart observers have figured out that Donald Trump is mostly just blowing smoke when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
When he threatened to invade Washington DC , it ended up consisting of him gassing protesters for a few minutes , posing for a photo op , and then going right back to his bunker and hiding .
So it ’ s not as if anyone expects Donald Trump to actually send in the military to bust up Seattle .
At this point the military doesn ’ t appear to be on his side when it comes to domestic warfare anyway .
Besides , what would an invasion of Seattle even look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the Starbucks ?
Would Pearl Jam lead the Resistance ?
Trump has completely jumped the shark .

From a legal standpoint , it makes sense that Trump ’ s lawyers are doing this .
These rallies are opening him up to massive litigation and damages , considering that there is little doubt that some people will catch the virus at Trump ’ s rallies , and a fraction of them will die .
But on a common sense level , if these rallies are so unsafe that attendees have to sign a document agreeing not to sue if they catch a deadly virus at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ isn ’ t safe for Donald Trump to be holding rallies during a pandemic .
It ’ s an admission of negligence on his part .
More importantly , it ’ s already generating negative headlines for him .
Trump is already getting negative press for holding his kickoff rally in Tulsa , the site of a massacre against black people , on Juneteenth , the date the last of the slaves were freed .
Now he ’ s going to get a week ’ s worth of negative press for admitting to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ putting their lives at risk just so he can bloviate in front of them .

Donald Trump has announced that the Cult 45 Rally roadshow will recommence , effective June 19 , 2020 , in Tulsa , Oklahoma .

Really, Trump?

This week Donald Trump has decided that a whole lot of people are domestic terrorists .
He ’ s made the accusation against the elderly man who was shoved to the ground by the police .
On Wednesday night he asserted that “ Domestic Terrorists have taken over Seattle.

That ’ s rich coming from a guy who also spent Wednesday insisting that he won ’ t change @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are named after confederate leaders .
These are the people who led an armed , violent attack against the United States government which resulted in hundreds of thousands of Americans dying .
Yet Trump is siding with… them ?
Donald Trump is aligning himself with actual domestic terrorists , who actually took up arms against the United States , and who had to be forcefully put down by the U.S. military – even as he falsely accuses peaceful mainstream Americans of being “ domestic terrorists ” for no good reason .
This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fortunately for the rest of us , it ’ s a losing strategy for him .
Aligning himself with the confederacy , at a time when most Americans are aligning themselves with racial equality , is a surefire way to drive his own poll numbers even lower .
