Dear Palmer Report readers,
We all understand what a dark era we're heading into. Journalists will be prosecuted. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. Advertising networks can't be counted on. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight, because someone has to.
In that regard we're looking to start funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens or how dark things get. We've launched a reader supported fund, and we've already raised $2097 and counting. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can contribute here. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Bill Palmer

If you’re still waiting to watch tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live on the DVR, or if you’re on the west coast, then stop reading now, because this article contains spoilers.
Still with us? Okay, good. By now you know that tonight’s episode of SNL did not include Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump character in the opening sketch. Instead it was this weird swing-and-miss attempt at making fun of the Jeff Bezos – David Pecker scandal. But during the course of the Meet The Press mockup, there were two funny moments – and Trump will hate them both.
First came the reprisal of Kate McKinnon brilliant sendup of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. She’s done Ross before, but this time she took it to the next level. Then came the inevitable appearance of Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker, portrayed by Aidy Bryant. This image says it all:
That’s right, Saturday Night Live upped the ante tonight by having a woman portray the most overly aggro-macho member of Donald Trump’s goon squad. It’s been widely reported that Trump hates it when SNL has women portray his henchmen, because in his sexist mind, it makes them look weak.
