This ‘list’ seems rather suspect on its very face. I won’t be inclined to believe it until and unless it’s vetted by Mike Lindell. ---

Mikey has all the packets to verify these hundreds of athletes dropping dead on the court. Furthermore, he is going to sue all the machines involved in this huge scandal. And by the time he is done, over 300 million Americans will be in jail. You just wait! ---

I am so glad that the news about Lindell being a Trumpist came out when it did. I’d been considering buying one of those pillows, as I was having trouble sleeping. Dodged a bullet there. ---

Funny enough, the _Daily Beast_ has an article basically written to answer this question. > **[How Did the Most Boring NBA Legend Become an Anti-Vax Nut?](https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-did-john-stockton-the-most-boring-nba-legend-become-an-anti-vax-weirdo)** > > Yes, perhaps the NBA’s most unassuming on-court legend believes in gonzo anti-vax conspiracies, and even appeared in an anti-vax documentary alongside RFK Jr. The answer seems to be that he’s from Spokane. As a Washingtonian, I can say that unfortunately his mindset is all too common in Eastern Washington. Call it peer pressure, or local culture, but most likely he spends each day surrounded by people who think the same way he does. It’s like asking why someone from the rural South is a racist, or why someone from Northern Florida likes to jump off ramps on a souped-up riding lawnmower while drunk and naked. ---

Hey now! Where do you think I live (well, nearby)? 😉 Not all of us drink the stupid Kool-Aid, but plenty around here do. And Spokane is almost sane compared to crossing the state border just to the east! We aren’t retiring here though. Living surrounded by stupid (conservatives) gets old. Thanks for the article…it made me chuckle. > [@](#): > > But dammit, John just had to “do a significant amount of research” and end up walking dick-first into a pit of the dumbest lies imaginable. ---

Ugh, even growing up it was well-known that if you were openly a white supremacist, you’d find a home in Idaho. (Maybe not everywhere, but there were places in Idaho that celebrated it.) I’m sure it’s even worse today. ☹ ---

Or at least more openly recognized and called out. Doesn’t seem any less racist or white supremacist to me, but I grew up a minority in the South so maybe YMMV. ---

> [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > That’s…oddly specific. Believe it or not, it was a random example. I bet if I Googled it though, I’d find a news article of Florida Man doing that. Let’s see… I found drunk Florida man riding a lawn mower on the highway, naked Florida guy on his lawn mower (this was an elementary school teacher trying to get his job back after being fired for that activity), I found video of a lawnmower jumping ramps (though it doesn’t specify if it’s in Florida). I don’t see the trifecta though. ---
