palmerreport--2020-05-18--Donald Trump just picked a bizarre fight with Susan Collins, and they’re both going to lose

Earlier today Palmer Report brought you the story of how Senator Susan Collins had posted her latest ‘ I ’ m concerned ’ routine about Donald Trump ’ s latest criminal scheme .
Everyone knows that based on her past history , Collins isn ’ t planning to take any action against Trump .
The thing is , Trump doesn ’ t seem to know it .
After whistleblower Dr. Rick Bright appeared on 60 Minutes tonight , Trump went on long rampage and ended up tweeting this : “ This whole Whistleblower racket needs to be looked at very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ & harm .
I hope you are listening Susan Collins.
” Wait , what ?
Why is Donald Trump going at Susan Collins like this ?
Did he forget that whenever she tweets her choreographed ‘ concern ” about Trump ’ s antics , she ’ s just trying to cover herself ?
This suggests that Trump is so far gone , he can ’ t even remember what the grift is here .
This is also pretty foolish on Donald Trump ’ s part .
Susan Collins is as egomaniacal and vindictive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is trying to pick a fight with Collins , she just might decide to punish him for it .
In any case , with Trump and Collins both facing the strong prospect of losing in November , they ’ re only hurting themselves by going at each other .

Earlier today Palmer Report brought you the story of how Senator Susan Collins had posted her latest ‘I’m concerned’ routine about Donald Trump’s latest criminal scheme. Everyone knows that based on her past history, Collins isn’t planning to take any action against Trump. The thing is, Trump doesn’t seem to know it.
After whistleblower Dr. Rick Bright appeared on 60 Minutes tonight, Trump went on long rampage and ended up tweeting this: “This whole Whistleblower racket needs to be looked at very closely, it is causing great injustice & harm. I hope you are listening Susan Collins.”
Wait, what? Why is Donald Trump going at Susan Collins like this? Did he forget that whenever she tweets her choreographed ‘concern” about Trump’s antics, she’s just trying to cover herself? This suggests that Trump is so far gone, he can’t even remember what the grift is here.
This is also pretty foolish on Donald Trump’s part. Susan Collins is as egomaniacal and vindictive as Trump is. Now that Trump is trying to pick a fight with Collins, she just might decide to punish him for it. In any case, with Trump and Collins both facing the strong prospect of losing in November, they’re only hurting themselves by going at each other.

This week Dr. Rick Bright publicly testified to the House about how the Donald Trump regime negligently mishandled the coronavirus crisis, and then retaliated against him after he privately sounded the alarm. Now 60 Minutes is giving airtime to Dr. Bright tonight, and let’s just say that Trump isn’t taking it very well.
Trump ripped into 60 Minutes on Twitter, insisting that anchor Norah O’Donnell and her colleagues are doing “everything in their power to demean our Country, much to the benefit of the Radical Left Democrats.” Trump insisted that he’s “never met” Dr. Bright, which is weird considering the guy was a key member of the pandemic response until Trump ousted him.
It’s clear that this latest whistleblower has gotten under Donald Trump’s skin. You can watch some of Dr. Bright’s 60 Minutes interview here:
“I knew that all of the signs for a pandemic were present,” says government scientist Rick Bright. “It was just a matter of time before that virus then jumped and left China and appeared in other countries.” https://t.co/vEgWhfcD6r pic.twitter.com/oepCICNRO0 — 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) May 17, 2020

Now that Tesla boss Elon Musk has completely lost whatever was left of his marbles during the lockdown, he’s suddenly finding himself embraced by the equally deranged Trump family. When Musk quoted The Matrix today for no apparent reason, Ivanka Trump responded in agreement. The trouble for them both: the director of The Matrix wasn’t exactly happy about it.
Elon Musk tweeted “Take the red pill” in reference to the movie’s iconic scene in which Morpheus offers Neo the choice between the red pill and the blue pill. Ivanka Trump quoted Musk and added “Taken!” That’s when things got ugly.
Lilly Wachowski, who created The Matrix alongside her sister Lana Wachowski, tweeted this at Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump: “Fuck both of you.” Wachowski’s profane response got twice as many likes as Ivanka got. Wachowski then urged everyone to support the Brave Space Alliance.

palmerreport--2020-05-18--Donald Trump admits he’s “vain” and “insensitive” in bizarre exchange with lunatic James Woods

Donald Trump has always been a twisted sociopath .
But lately he ’ s been slipping in the cognitive department , to the point that he ’ s losing his filter , and he ’ s begun periodically acknowledging things that he wasn ’ t supposed to say out loud .
For instance , earlier this month , Trump appeared to blame his mother for what ’ s wrong with him .
Now he ’ s said something even stranger .
Washed up actor and creep James Woods tweeted this about Donald Trump : “ Let ’ s face it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He is vain , insensitive and raw .
But he loves America more than any President in my lifetime .
He is the last firewall between us and this cesspool called Washington .
I ’ ll take him any day over any of these bums.
” We wouldn ’ t even bother to reference anything that Woods has to say , except that Trump decided to retweet this .
Not only did Donald Trump retweet Woods ’ words , he added “ I think that is a great compliment .
Thank you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump is admitting that he ’ s “ vain ” and “ insensitive.
” That ’ s more than a bit odd for him .
The first rule of people as narcissistic as Trump is that they ’ re so vain , they don ’ t know they ’ re vain – and they certainly wouldn ’ t admit it out loud .
Donald Trump is unraveling in the psychological and cognitive department .
We ’ re seeing it in ways that are subtle and not so subtle .
Trump ’ s moments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more revealing , and they raise questions about what will even be left of Trump ’ s failing mind by the time election day arrives .

Eric Trump, a conspiracy theorist who is so dumb his IQ might actually be in negative territory, went on Fox News yesterday and claimed that the coronavirus crisis is some kind of invention created solely to harm his father – and that it will magically go away after the election.
We’ve already seen Eric Trump get ripped from all sides of this dangerous display of hallucinatory idiocy. But now Joe Biden’s communications director Kate Bedingfield, who speaks directly for Biden, is calling Eric Trump’s stunt “absolutely stunning and unbelievably reckless.”
Meanwhile Eric Trump is busy playing troll on Twitter, while failing to understand the election entirely:
No because Biden can’t get anyone to show up to his events. Moreover, he sounds like a total clown every time he opens his mouth. Being confined to his basement is the best thing that has every happened to his campaign. https://t.co/FOJlm7J83c — Eric Trump (@EricTrump) May 17, 2020

Even as Donald Trump and his surrogates continue to spin the coronavirus as being either a huge challenge that Trump has heroically conquered, or a hoax that never existed, various Fox News hosts have played along with this dangerous lunacy. That makes them complicit in at least some of the coronavirus deaths we’ve seen.
Here’s the thing, though. Fox News hosts themselves are giving away that they know the coronavirus isn’t a hoax. Former Senator Claire McCaskill just spelled out precisely why:

Donald Trump had a complete meltdown about President Obama on the White House lawn today, accusing him of gross negligence and worse. It wasn’t clear what Obama was supposedly negligent about, because Trump is way too far gone to even understand what he’s saying these days.

Donald Trump is right, just not for the reason he thinks he’s right. After eight years of a competent, successful, and respected black President, the racists out there decided they’d rather have an incompetent, failed, and embarrassing white President, and that’s how Trump got into office.

palmerreport--2020-05-17--Joe Biden just nailed Donald Trump

Joe Biden just nailed Donald Trump

All through Saturday , despite the fact that he presides over one of the worst disasters to hit America , Donald Trump decided to go on yet another demented Twitter rampage , because his own insecurities need to be addressed before the lives of struggling Americans .
Among the many idiotic things he tweeted and retweeted was this sentence : “ Scandal has defined the Obama Administration.
” If you ’ ve been living in reality for the last eight years , you ’ d probably know that the Obama administration didn ’ t have even a hint of scandal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the absurd degree of Republican obstruction he faced at every turn , while right-wing media outlets like Fox News desperately tried to spin trivial things Obama did ( like wearing a tan suit ) into national outrage .
The phony # Obamagate scandal that Trump himself can ’ t even seem to define has actually caused a few Republicans to try and distance themselves from the specifics , knowing that trying a move as idiotic as having the former president testify before Congress could end disastrously for them in what is already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Republicans .
Today , this particular tweet backfired for Trump as well , when Joe Biden decided to call him out at his own stupid game .
“ It seems the way to get fired by President Trump is not to commit wrongdoing , but to investigate it , ” Biden tweeted , referencing the fact that Trump simply decided to fire Michael Flynn because he was caught betraying his country , not because of what he did .
Two things stand out here : Biden has caught onto Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media sometimes finds itself adapting to , and has called him out on it , knowing that Trump will almost certainly feel obligated to respond and make himself look even dumber in the process .
Even Trump ’ s go to tactics for letting off steam are no longer safe for him politically .

The phony #Obamagate scandal that Trump himself can’t even seem to define has actually caused a few Republicans to try and distance themselves from the specifics, knowing that trying a move as idiotic as having the former president testify before Congress could end disastrously for them in what is already shaping up to be a hard year for Republicans. Today, this particular tweet backfired for Trump as well, when Joe Biden decided to call him out at his own stupid game.
“It seems the way to get fired by President Trump is not to commit wrongdoing, but to investigate it,” Biden tweeted, referencing the fact that Trump simply decided to fire Michael Flynn because he was caught betraying his country, not because of what he did. Two things stand out here: Biden has caught onto Trump’s game – the classic projection that the media sometimes finds itself adapting to, and has called him out on it, knowing that Trump will almost certainly feel obligated to respond and make himself look even dumber in the process. Even Trump’s go to tactics for letting off steam are no longer safe for him politically.

There goes that argument

Trump spent Saturday tweeting a video of himself poorly superimposed into the movie Independence Day , and tweeting a disturbing image of his new White House Press Secretary in some kind of Supergirl cosplay costume .
Again , this is at a time when Donald Trump ’ s attorneys are trying to convince the Supreme Court that he ’ s too busy with the duties of the office to comply with a lawful subpoena .
John Roberts will cast the deciding vote using the same methodology he always uses : whatever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a power broker , as opposed to what the Constitution says .

palmerreport--2020-05-17--Donald Trump picks weird fight with Mitch McConnell as his presidency falls apart

Donald Trump , whose cognitive abilities are collapsing in real time , and his campaign advisers , who are all complete idiots , have decided that their best bet in 2020 is to promote a laughably phony scandal about President Obama .
Trump ’ s problem with this “ Obamagate ” nonsense is two-fold .
First , this is an incredibly stupid idea .
Donald Trump is historically unpopular , and by promoting an obviously fake scandal about the historically popular Obama , he ’ s merely going to cost himself votes .
That ’ s why Mitch McConnell doesn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do with it .
McConnell is corrupt and evil , but he ’ s not an idiot .
He ’ s not willing to throw away the Senate in November just because Trump wants jealous revenge on Obama .
So now Trump has decided that he needs to pick a fight with McConnell of all people .
Trump tweeted this : “ Mitch , I love you , but this is 100 % true .
Time is running out .
Get tough and move quickly , or it will be too late .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ caught .
They MUST pay a big price for what they have done to our Country .
Don ’ t let them get away with this !
” Then he posted multiple retweets with a similar message .
Donald Trump seems to think that by picking a fight with Mitch McConnell in public like this , Trump ’ s base will begin placing so much pressure on McConnell and the GOP Senate , McConnell will have to cave and start doing things like asking President Obama to testify .
One can only hope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s strategy here is unbelievably self defeating .
Trump also has to be careful here .
Mitch McConnell has been propping Trump up all along , but only because McConnell has felt that it was what was best for himself and his own career .
If McConnell ultimately decides that Trump is becoming too much of a liability , McConnell can selfishly push Trump out of office and take his chances in 2020 with a different republican presidential nominee .
Trump is playing a dangerous game .
But then again , desperate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

We’ve all learned that just because Joe Biden is making a joint appearance with someone who’s rumored to be in the mix for his running mate, it doesn’t mean he’s going to use that appearance to announce that person as his running mate. That said, Biden just scheduled a rather conspicuously high profile joint event with Kamala Harris.
The Biden campaign has announced that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be hosting a virtual reception together on Tuesday, June 9th. Plenty of people are going to read into this, for two reasons. First, it’s being announced way in advance, suggesting that the campaign is looking to hype this event. The donation levels to “attend” this virtual event start at $500, meaning this is being positioned as a high profile or high prestige event.
Second, the timing of the event – early to mid June – would seem to fall in line with the timeframe for when most observers expect Biden to announce a running mate. We’ll see.

After Fox News host Neil Cavuto warned Donald Trump not to take hydroxychloroquine today, Trump quickly began lashing out at the host and the outlet. Trump seems to miss the old days, when Fox News would praise his every idiotic move. But what Trump doesn’t get is that Fox is a for-profit business, and it’s going to say whatever its audience wants to hear, not what Trump wants to hear.
Trump ended up tweeting this tonight: “Fox News is no longer the same. We miss the great Roger Ailes. You have more anti-Trump people, by far, than ever before. Looking for a new outlet!”
This is surreal, considering Roger Ailes was ousted after he was credibly accused of sexual assault by a long list of women. This is really the guy Trump is hanging his hat on? Also, since Trump appears to be calling for Ailes to be brought back to Fox News, it’s not clear if Trump is aware that Ailes has been dead since 2017.

After Donald Trump announced today that he’s taking hydroxychloroquine, despite its lack of effectiveness against the coronavirus and its deadly side effects, Fox News host Neil Cavuto put his foot down. Cavuto flat out said to Trump, “It will kill you.” He also urged Fox viewers not to take Trump’s advice regarding the drug.
Let’s just say that Donald Trump isn’t taking any of this very well. After someone tweeted “What an asshole” about Neil Cavuto, Trump retweeted it. Trump added, “Fox News is no longer the same. We miss the great Roger Ailes. You have more anti-Trump people, by far, than ever before. Looking for a new outlet!”
Donald Trump went on to call Cavuto “foolish & gullible” while hurling a bunch of other insults at him. Trump is completely losing it. This is a disturbing meltdown even for him.

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ knows .
During “ The View ” today , she blamed President Obama for the troubles of the Trump era , accusing him of “ ushering ” Trump in .
So apparently she thinks it ’ s Obama ’ s fault that racist people are racist ?

Donald Trump viciously insulted John McCain , but Barack Obama defeated John McCain in an election , so Meghan McCain has created some alternate reality in her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both at fault for everything .
The trouble is , she ’ s not honoring her father with this kind of idiotic nonsense .

Even by those who despise him and see him as an extremist, Mike Pence is generally viewed as being less deranged than Donald Trump. Of course this is only because Trump loudly and openly flaunts his derangement. But if you ignore the tweets and go based on track record, it’s a different story.
During her show tonight, Rachel Maddow pointed out that not too long ago, Mike Pence promised us the coronavirus crisis would be over by Memorial Day. Of course that’s a week from today, and things are still as dangerously ugly as ever. Instead of admitting he was wrong, Pence is helping Trump to try to cover up the problems.
Rachel Maddow explained that Pence should be viewed as being basically as much of a crackpot at Donald Trump is. And as usual, Maddow is right about this.

Like any idiot, Donald Trump has no idea when to take a loss and move on to another battle. After whistleblower Dr. Rick Bright appeared on 60 Minutes last night and talked about Trump’s hydroxychloroquine obsession, Trump announced today that he’s actually taking hydroxychloroquine.
This set off all kinds of alarms. Most people think Trump is lying about taking the drug. And if he is taking it, let’s just say that the dangerous side effects are liable to eat him alive. During his MSNBC show tonight, Lawrence O’Donnell pointed out that hydroxychloroquine is known to cause insomnia, paranoia, and hallucinations – three things that Trump is already suffering from.
O’Donnell added that Trump “invented Obamagate during the period in which he claims to be taking this hallucination-inducing drug,” but went on to point out that Trump has been hallucinating about President Obama’s birthplace for several years now.

Earlier today Donald Trump claimed that he’s been taking hydroxychloroquine for a week and a half, even though it’s been proven that the drug does nothing to fend off coronavirus, and it’s known for causing fatal heart problems. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi then appeared on CNN and expressed concern for Trump’s well-being, since he’s “morbidly obese” and it puts him at risk for hydroxychloroquine complications.
Within minutes of Pelosi’s remark, the #morbidlyobese hashtag began trending, as everyone piled on:
Nancy Pelosi just called President Trump morbidly obese. 😂😂😂😂 That made my day! #morbidlyobese #TrumpIsALaughingStock — That girl (@My_DogIsBetter) May 19, 2020

Earlier today, Donald Trump announced that he’s now taking hydroxychloroquine in an attempt at warding off the coronavirus. Most people don’t believe him. But if he is telling the truth, he’s putting himself at severe risk, as hydroxychloroquine is notorious for causing potentially fatal heart problems – and Trump’s poor health makes him a prime target.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared on Anderson Cooper’s CNN show tonight. She expressed concern for Donald Trump’s well being, because “morbidly obese” people him are at great risk when taking hydroxychloroquine:
Nancy Pelosi is managing to twist the knife while expressing genuine concern for Donald Trump’s well being. Trump is likely go to indiscriminately berserk in response – but then that’s the point.

palmerreport--2020-05-19--The House just revealed it’s open to impeaching Donald Trump again

The House has already impeached Donald Trump once , and while Senate Republicans corruptly refused to remove him , the process at least served to educate the public about Trump ’ s crimes .
Of course Trump has committed dozens if not hundreds of impeachable offenses , raising the question of whether the House should impeach him again before the election .
Even while that debate plays out , the House revealed today in a Supreme Court filing that it ’ s at least open to the possibility of impeaching Donald Trump again .
The House Judiciary Committee is making @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Mueller grand jury evidence so it can decide whether to impeach Trump over it .
Keep in mind that this is just a legal argument ; it doesn ’ t necessarily mean that the House will impeach Trump again , even if it obtains the secret Mueller materials , and even if they ’ re roughly as damning as we all suspect they are .
There would still be almost zero chance the Republican Senate would remove Trump , particularly this close to the election .
And impeaching Trump a second time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rein in his crime spree , because impeaching him the first time didn ’ t cause him to rein it in either .
So it ’ s a tough call , and we ’ ll just have to trust that Speaker Nancy Pelosi gets it right , which she generally does .
We suspect that for Pelosi to do it , the grand jury material would have to be so overwhelmingly devastating to Trump that it could prompt Senate Republicans to panic and selfishly oust him , in the name of trying to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before she ’ d go through with a second impeachment .
But now it ’ s official that the House is at least open to impeaching Donald Trump a second time , which is certainly interesting .

Even while that debate plays out, the House revealed today in a Supreme Court filing that it’s at least open to the possibility of impeaching Donald Trump again. The House Judiciary Committee is making the argument that it needs to see the Mueller grand jury evidence so it can decide whether to impeach Trump over it.
Keep in mind that this is just a legal argument; it doesn’t necessarily mean that the House will impeach Trump again, even if it obtains the secret Mueller materials, and even if they’re roughly as damning as we all suspect they are.

We suspect that for Pelosi to do it, the grand jury material would have to be so overwhelmingly devastating to Trump that it could prompt Senate Republicans to panic and selfishly oust him, in the name of trying to save their own seats in November, before she’d go through with a second impeachment. But now it’s official that the House is at least open to impeaching Donald Trump a second time, which is certainly interesting.

Donald Trump and his goons have long claimed to be sitting on evidence that proved the Obama administration was somehow plotting against Michael Flynn. This has always been absurd on its face, considering Flynn was caught red handed in his crimes, and confessed to them in detail when he pleaded guilty.
The trouble with hyping a phony scandal like this, and pretending to have corroboration, is that sooner or later you end up being pressured into releasing your supposed evidence. That finally happened to the Trump regime today, which released a Susan Rice email which it claims is proof that President Obama personally targeted Flynn. But instead the email says that Obama told Rice to handle the Flynn case “by the book.”
So the Trump regime just declassified a Susan Rice email that exonerates the entire Obama administration and blows up Donald Trump’s own conspiracy theory. These Trump people are really bad at this stuff, and they keep getting worse at it.

Just how low of a slimeball is Donald Trump Junior? He used his Instagram account to falsely accuse Joe Biden of being a “pedophile” – and when the media condemned Junior for making the post, he merely claimed he was joking. How much of a sicko do you have to be to think that falsely accusing your political rival of violating children is funny?
When Joe Biden spoke today, he addressed the matter. Biden said that “it’s sick” for Donald Trump Jr to have even said such a thing. Then Biden summed up everything that’s wrong with Trump Junior rather succinctly: “He is his father’s son.”
Meanwhile, after getting spanked by Joe Biden, Donald Trump Jr has moved on to waging war against radio host Howard Stern of all people – obsessively posting too many tweets about Stern today to count. We’re guessing Junior will find a way to lose his feud with Stern as well.

As you recall , Trump let numerous Americans die by refusing to send ventilators to the hardest hit cities , yet now he ’ s calling himself the king of ventilators.

Ford has not only told Donald Trump that he must wear a mask during his factory visit , it ’ s publicly announced that Trump will be required to wear a mask .
This is Ford ’ s way of fending off what Mike Pence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , where he refused to wear a mask , then tried to pretend he hadn ’ t been told he needed to wear one .
Trump ’ s meek response to Ford ’ s public demand that he wear a mask : “ I don ’ t know … we ’ ll see.
