Running up the score

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.

I’m old enough to remember the good old days when Sarah Palin was a nationwide punchline – Sen. John McCain’s 2008 running mate who was just a little bit older than JD Vance and already had experience as mayor and governor of a state. She thankfully lost – and shouldered a lot of the blame for McCain losing his presidential bid, but the GOP was largely remade in her image – people who don’t know a lot about government and are largely proud of that. Enter JD Vance – the guy who tried to make a name for himself as an anti-Trumper only to become his staunchest surrogate – whose only experience prior to being elected U.S. Senator was writing a book denigrating the people most likely to vote for Donald Trump.

The guy’s been one headache after another since he first appeared on the national stage – with his infamous “childless cat lady” remark that was unfortunately the first impression most people got of him. With Tuesday night’s news of the Taylor Swift endorsement, (one in which the pop star rebuked Vance’s braindead comment), Vance decided once again to lash out at Taylor Swift – this time for being a billionaire. Like just about everything he does, this is exactly the wrong thing to attack Swift for – as billionaires are the entire reason Vance was put on the Trump 2024 ticket. In fact, it’s the only reason this unpersonable clown has anything resembling a political career at all.

Donald Trump is only in this for himself – that’s the message Democrats have been trying to send home – and Vance is only further reinforcing it with this nonsensical attack, which reminds us that he’s on the ticket because of Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Let’s run up the score and get Kamala Harris elected on Nov 5 with a Democratic trifecta and send this clown back to Ohio.
