Mike Pence, it’s time

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.

Let’s all take a moment to be thankful for how stupid Trump and his remaining henchmen are. The My Pillow guy typed up a secret plan for insurrection, but then carelessly allowed it to be photographed by reporters?

This means Donald Trump is back in the insurrection game, even if only in his mind. Mike Pence, if you’re listening, it’s time to invoke the 25th Amendment. Trump’s My Pillow insurrection will obviously fail to help him at all. But that doesn’t mean people won’t get hurt in the process of Trump trying and failing. Pence must pull the plug on Trump now.

– Tweet of the day, from Andy Richter: “I still can’t believe that [Trump] said he would march with them to the Capitol. As he was goading them into committing violent treason, he still lied to all their angry white faces. Couldn’t help himself.”
