This is just getting embarrassing

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.

The GOP has asked something of Democrats that we refuse to give them, and with good reason. The GOP has asked us to babysit them. Since Kevin’s ouster, many a Republican infant has gone on television or tweeted or done something blaming Democrats for their own hot mess.

Why did the Dems not vote for Kevin? Why did the Dems vote with Matt Gaetz? These and many other stupid questions have been asked by Republican misfits who seem to have roused themselves from the big sleep they were in and are now blearily blinking as the realization that they’ve behaved like a bunch of idiots spreads through them.

It is not up to us to hold the sweaty hands of Republicans who can’t seem, no matter what happens to them, to get their own shit together and act at least a little human. Rep. Jamie Raskin agrees, saying to the Washington Post that Republicans have done nothing but “feed Trump derangement and MAGA extremism three meals a day.”

He’s right. It is not our job to console bitter and miserable GOP members. It is not our job to teach these old dogs new tricks. They’re ADULTS for crying out loud! It’s time they act so.

Republicans are great at passing blame to everyone but their own dilapidated selves. It’s really incredible that they have managed to make such a mess of things. And they want DEMOCRATS — the ones they regularly label communists and enemies to step in and HELP them? Are they delirious?

I’ve got something to say to Republicans.GROW UP! Grow the heck up, GOP, and look to fix your own messes. I know it’s hard for you to do anything that actually resembles WORK, but we, the democrats, are not your babysitters. Grow up and fend for yourselves.
