Speaking of white suburban punks, did we cover this bit of news about Mike Lindell: > **[MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says Fox News is ignoring his 'cyber symposium' —...](https://www.yahoo.com/news/mypillow-ceo-mike-lindell-says-153512699.html)** > > Mike Lindell said he planned to buy Fox News ads to spread "awareness" of his upcoming symposium. Mike Lindell is complaining that FoxNews isn’t covering his “symposium”. He has repeatedly criticized the network for failing to continue to promote the election fraud narrative and to support his claims about Dominion [which I suspect may have something to do with the massive lawsuit FoxNews are trying to avoid and Lindell… isn’t]. He has called them “unwatchable”. And so he’s going to show them who’s boss by… …giving them a lot more money for advertising. Yep, that’ll do it. Good thinking there, Batman. ---

> [@Gorsnak](#): > > 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 Did you zoom in on the plans on the whiteboard? I think you missed one of the critical steps. Pelosi is soon going to resign in disgrace over the riot hearings, and as her replacement the House is going to unanimously vote in Trump as the Speaker. At that point, Biden/Harris voluntarily and enthusiastically resign to allow Trump to become President. ---

I don’t think it’s that they think, if they say it enough, it will become manifest. I think it’s that their followers, will believe anything they say. Or, more accurately, they heard it somewhere, and they WANT it to be true, so clearly, it must be true. I sense these are, ‘Sounds about right to me!’ people! ---

I don’t think she resigns. I think she’s supposed to _literally_ melt from the heat of the revelations that she killed Mary Jo Kopechne in a satanic sacrifice then went on to conjure up Jim Jones ( of Jonestown infamy) by putting toad balls and Newt Gingrich’s saliva in her witches kettle, then reciting the Constitution backwards three time. She would’ve gotten away with it, too….except she failed! JFK Jr, survived!, even though psycho killer Pelosi personally sabotaged his plane! And when she is exposed, Democrats and Republicans alike will see the truth, and they will impeach and imprison Biden, Harris and Pelosi, who will admit their guilt under the weight of the overwhelming evidence, and the entire nation will hoist Trump on their collective shoulders and march him around Washington DC while singing “For Hes a Jolly Good Fellow!” And then they’ll make Trump Speaker of the House, since Nancy Pelosi has been reduced to a puddle of slime on the floor of the House chamber. But I still haven’t fully captured the craziness, it’s REALLY crazy. ---

There is plenty of reporting indicating that cards summarizing the 7 point plan were widely distributed among CPAC attendees and that handout included the link to the full plan, the same link I posted. And I “signed up” by submitting a brand-new throwaway e-mail address, and that email box is now full of conservative spam, most of it looking for money. > **[Trump Supporters Insist Far-Fetched 7-Point Plan Will Get Him Back In Office](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-reinstated-7-point-plan_n_60e8cbace4b00edbf3833e8c)** > > Step 1: Get the Black Congressional Caucus to join the Republican Party so they can impeach Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Nada. I’m not surprised - with Dominion’s lawyers watching them, they will very carefully avoid any reference to him other than in his paid advertising spots. I’m merely remarking that a man who appears to dislike FoxNews as much as he does would not normally then be expected to double down on giving them lots of money. ---

You might be right about Dominion. It has the added bonus of giving them an excuse for not reporting on the insane wing of the gop in the grip of Trump. ---

Well, they could still report on Dominion, the audit and such but they would have to use the phrase “insane wing of the GOP” (or similar) to protect themselves. That would cost them viewers. ---
