Hey, I just saw a MeinPillow ad on CNN. Seems like that would be pretty far from his target audience. I think it was for some new super sheets. ---

Trying to fathom ML’s thought process is hard, but can anyone even tell what message he’s trying to sell here? It’s a bunch of names with arrows that point to other names, eventually all pointing to Donald Trump. What are the arrows even supposed to mean? ---

Information is shot through Fibernet Railway Circuits across the Gigasphere, and the only way to properly navigate your way using a Deckboard\* is to follow the Ethermap, which shows the proper Packet Trail routes to take. \*A Deckboard looks like a neon surfboard on springs, you have to wear glowing goggles and reflective fingerless gloves for safety. At least they made Lindell do that when he tried it out. ---

> [@Superdude](#): > > Here’s the thing that I don’t understand: assuming (indulge me, here, this is a thought experiment) that he actually _does_ have oodles of proof of voter fraud, and that Trump actually won the election, and it’s in his possession, and it’s as ironclad as he claims, why bother with the delay? Why not go ahead and play your hand now? If you’re that big a Trump supporter, wouldn’t you be wanting him reinstalled as Chief Executive as soon as possible? I suspect he’s doing what a lot of Trumpers seem to think is possible: saying what he wants to be true in order to try and make it true. But he needs time for his faith mojo to manifest a miracle. ---

I’d say there are two factors at play here; 1. Lindell is absolutely a True Believer. 2. Lindell is fully aware that his Trump obsession has destroyed his brand’s credibility and the only people still buying his pillows are other True Believers, so he has no choice but to double down so they’ll keep buying. ---

Yes, it’s not so much “riding the tiger” as “riding the rabid wolverine”. You still have to hang on tight but it’s more likely to damage or kill you while getting increasingly irrational and violent the longer it goes on. ---

He’s probably got an eveb bigger one at home in his basement, with the thumbtacks and string and news clippings and everything. But it’s too hard to travel with so he squashed it down a little. Coincidentally August 13 this year is Friday the 13th. Trump anywhere near Washington DC is way scarier than anything Jason Vorhees can come up with! ---

I think Lindell is whacked but to play along we could find an analogy in some of the investigations of Trump: there appears to be a lot of evidence that Trump has played loose with the law but it takes time to collate and organize it. Which made sense until Lindell came out with his hard Aug 18 date. I read [foxnews.com](http://foxnews.com) fairly regularly and they haven’t reported on any of this whacky Lindell stuff. Even Fox won’t touch it.
