Send in the clowns

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.

It’s official! Leader of the clown caucus Kevin McCarthy has decided who will sit on what committees! So allow me to introduce you to the good(Not many), the bad, and the VERY freaky — new members of important committees.

Goofball number one — Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene has been rewarded for her insanity by nabbing a seat on the Homeland Security Committee! This is particularly interesting given Greene is a conspiracy theorist who has little intelligence to be found. She may share more of her Jewish space laser theories while on this committee. One never knows.

Sock Puppet Matt Gaetz. Hair looking overgrown as usual, Gaetz will continue to make a fool of himself on the house judiciary committee. The irony with this one is inescapable. I suppose Kevin has to reward the person who tried his best to eject him from the Speaker position. Man, oh man, is McCarthy stupid.

Paul Gosar of Arizona. Gosar, whose own family warned what a basket case he is, has been awarded a seat on the oversight committee, which makes no sense, but then again, this is the clown caucus, so it isn’t SUPPOSED to make sense.

George Santos, or whatever his name is. The man of many names will be sitting on two committees. One of them is the small business committee. This is hilarious. The fact that Kevin would put an alleged fraudster on the small business committee is hysterical. It would be like putting Samuel Alito on a Witches for the people committee. (Relax Sammy, they do not have such a committee.)

Lauren Boebert. She will be on the House oversight committee. I must say this does feel like a Saturday Night Live skit. The problem is — it isn’t.

All of this will help us win. Why? Because this is the literal clown caucus. All of these clowns and goofballs are now the faces of the GOP. Incredible that Kevin McCarthy could be so absolutely stupid. Thinking about it — it ISN’T so incredible.

So get ready for the clown caravan with all our least favorite faces. It will be something to remember. It will also be a powerful tool to help us win in 2024, as the clown caucus is set to be the biggest laughing stock perhaps politics has ever seen.
