What a dick!

[‘Defeated’ Mike Lindell Ends 96-hour TV Marathon After Failing to Gain Support (msn.com)](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/defeated-mike-lindell-ends-96-hour-tv-marathon-after-failing-to-gain-support/ar-AARg6w3?li=BBnbfcL)

The 60-year-old claimed he would have this support by Thanksgiving, a deadline he set himself, but he did not receive it and the lawsuit was not filed.

By the end of the marathon, Mike Lindell appeared defeated, according to viewers, and in his final words asked the people to take action.

The brief clip has been posted to [Twitter] and viewed over 150,000 times with many viewers remarking how tired and defeated Lindell appears.

I’m going to infer that you managed to view the competition. How about helping a fellow Doper out with a link? I mean, I found one under three minutes long, but I think it might be a different one, since it has 56,467 views.

Just to be clear here: are they jumping _like_ bunnies or jumping _over_ bunnies? Because the latter sounds more fun.

That makes sense. One features something with the intelligence of warm milk bouncing around, the other has jumping bunnies.

He was found “liable by default” BECAUSE HE DIDN’T SHOW UP! IF HE WANTED HIS CLAIMS TO BE HEARD, THEN HE SHOULD HAVE SHOWN UP IN COURT TO BEGIN WITH!!!

What an incredible piece of $#!~.

Maybe not, but it’s a great strategy to convince the rubes to send you money. And that’s the point:

1. Don’t attend your own trial
2. Claim to your idiot followers that you didn’t have a trial
3. Profit!
