I’m actually a bit surprised. All the polls I saw gave him a fairly comfortable lead. ETA: I was apparently misinformed, I must have read them wrong somehow. ---

We were given one of his pillows and it is not great. I have neck issues and own several, way better options. His pillow is on our guest bed. Sorry guests!

It’s entirely possible Lindell believes Joe Biden rigged the election against him, because the Democrats want to to run against the weaker candidate instead of Lindell. ---

SOC-8? That sounds like some newfangled scientific woke thing. I guarantee you, though, most of the people supporting this bill would be aghast at the notion of leaving a baby with ambiguous genitalia. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Do you think Lindell understands this was a primary and the people he’s accusing of cheating at elections are Republicans? Do you think Lindell understands _anything at all?_ He’s never struck me as the overly-intellectual type. He ‘thinks’ the election was rigged because he lost. That’s just what some Republicans do now, no matter what the circumstances. It’s purely reflexive at this point.
