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.

“If we have some kind of protracted fight where we can’t elect a speaker — the speaker’s not elected:we’re not sworn in. And if we’re not sworn in, we can’t certify the election.” The unthinkable has now become thinkable. Remember all our reporting on Mike Johnson and the potential for a fight about who gets to be Republican House speaker? Now Republicans are openly chattering about it — and they’re scared.

I started this essay with a quote from Republican Rep. Carlos Giminez of Florida. He is only saying what they all know. Republicans—Some are asking Trump to publicly endorse Johnson, but Trump is reportedly furious at Johsnon, so that is asking for a lot.

“Without a speaker, we cannot complete this process,” Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney told Fox News Digital. There is still a chance that a Christmas miracle will happen for the GOP, that Mike Johnson will be happily voted in as speaker, and that they all will live happily ever after.

HA! This writer doesn’t believe that. Chaos follows the GOP like an unwanted house-guest, like President Musk follows VP Elect Trump. Republicans and chaos are joined at the hip. So yes, this is a somewhat ominous turn for the little party that couldn’t.

What will happen? The certification is coming uo, and the GOP is more out of sync than ever before. Can you — can you just imagine the scene? It is certification day. The chairs have many an ass in them but no head ass to guide them up the hill in the certification journey.

Johnson is now facing not a little rebellion but a Tsunami of gargantuan proportions, with foam that’s already rising over the heads of clueless GOP members. They NEVER see it coming, do they?

How can they when they have shrunken corn silk in the places where their brains should be? So this promises to be a real hoop-la for Republicans. A house with no Speaker, with many angry family members screaming at each other, threatening each other, and calling each other names. Welcome to the nuthouse, everyone.
