This week in stupid

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Herschel Walker had two Senators as chaperones for his latest television interview and he still referred to the election as the “erection.” This really happened. And no one is even surprised. Walker sounded completely mentally vacant at the beginning of this campaign. It now feels like he’s getting even worse, though that should be impossible.

– Trump’s 2016 “win” was a compromised fluke and everyone learned the wrong lessons from it. GOP still runs shitty public figures like Oz, Lake, Walker, and wonders why they lose. Media still obsessing over Trump’s base. No one will admit Trump was always an ineffective campaigner.

– Donald Trump and Kanye West met yesterday to discuss who can do the stupidest job of pretending they’re running for President in 2024.

– Mental health is a crisis, but addressing it will cost money, so right wingers always want to ignore it. Except when there’s a mass shooting and we need to talk about the gun crisis, in which case right wingers suddenly want to talk about the mental health crisis instead.
