That’s because “Dominion” and “lawsuit”. ---

I thought for a bit about that board, wondering where he could have gotten such a stream-of-consciousness horror like that…and then I remembered “Time Cube”, and 90’s creation that surpasses all…and I am now convinced that Mike Lindell read every word of it and is the natural inheritor to Time Cube creator Gene Ray (who has passed on as of 2015). If you haven’t met the wonderful insanity that is Time Cube, it’s archived here: [Time Cube - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Cube), go to external links) But be very, very careful…you might end up thinking like Mike Lindell… ---

That looks like something emerging from a sphincter. I hope that thing can be saved as an example of outsider art. He seems to have put a lot of drug fueled energy into it. ---

In before, ‘Biden was successfully removed from office but will be allowed to stay in the White House as acting President until the next election when Donald Trump will be allowed to run again. Your friend Mike, also, buy my pillows!’ ---

> [@BigT](#): > > 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. Pretty much this. Lindell (and Trump and several in that circle) has a bizarre, fundamentally lazy, intellectually devoid version of Der Wille Zur Macht. Rather than feeling compelled to seek power or excellence, it’s more they think wanting power strongly enough will magically bring it into existence through sheer force of will with little to no effort on their part. ---

Yes, they do seem to assume that what they want to believe is true is actually true, and therefore evidence of it will _obviously_ exist and be found, even as it repeatedly fails to appear. It is cult thinking. ---

Well sure. It’s not exactly a secret: > **[How this 1950s self-help guru shaped Donald Trump's attitude toward life and...](https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/10/how-self-help-author-norman-vincent-peale-influenced-donald-trump.html)** > > In Mary Trump's new book, "Too Much and Never Enough," she links President Donald Trump's overt self-confidence to the teachings of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, the minister who wrote "The Power of Positive Thinking" in 1952. It is not surprising that some people will gravitate towards a worldview that tells them that no matter how mediocre they personally are in most respects, they are deserving and entitled to their success and material wealth by virtue of some quality they do possess and can control. ---

And after Biden and Harris simultaneously resign, /checks notes/ Nancy Pelosi will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States of America. I wouldn’t have expected Lindell to be a Pelosi supporter, but there you have it. ---
