Nope, that wasn’t Dr. Fauci

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.

– This evening, Dr. Anthony Fauci joined Twitter with the username @Fauci and quickly gained tens of thousands of followers… except it wasn’t really him. After AIDS activist Peter Staley and others confirmed that the account was a fake, Twitter suspended it. Now comes the question of whether the real Dr. Fauci will ever join Twitter. At least now the @Fauci username is presumably available for him.

– Pro-Trump protesters are now vandalizing churches, because nothing says “law and order” like vandalizing churches. The only good news is that the pro-Trump protesters are fairly small in number, and appear to be limiting their antics to petty stuff instead of wide scale violence. But seriously, what kind of loser vandalizes a church?

– Lil Wayne just pleaded guilty to federal weapons charges that could put him in prison for up to ten years. This probably explains why he made a point of endorsing Donald Trump in October; he was likely fishing for a federal pardon.
