Here comes the next stage of the nonsense

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.

With the Electoral College set to formally elect Joe Biden as President on Monday, Trump and his people are about to start squealing more loudly than ever about imaginary ways they can still overturn the election. So let’s get it out of the way now.

No, Trump can’t have Republicans in Congress magically stop Biden from being certified. No, Trump can’t have Pence magically stop Biden from being certified. These aren’t real things, no matter how loudly Trump and his people might whine and squeal about it. Biden has a 100% chance of taking office. Trump’s fantasies to the contrary don’t suddenly become more realistic just because he’s more desperate.

Tweet of the day, from Ice-T about Donald Trump: “It’s Crazy to me personally because I was an admitted Career Criminal for half my life… And dude is dirtier, has more cases and more friends in Prison than I ever had. And he was Fn POTUS. Amazing.”
