On local (Mpls/St Paul) TV this morning, almost every commercial break has had this buffoon pleading for people to support his symposium by going to his Frank website and buy his pillows. His whiny voice made today the wrong day to try and stop caffeine. ---

Is anyone else as excited as I am for all the packets to be released at tomorrow’s Cyber Symposium? Those packets are going to be a bombshell! He has ALL the packets! ---

I think the real question is whether the ‘cyber experts’ he’s been paying will disappear with his money just before or just after the symposium. If we’re lucky, maybe they’ll do a runner right in the middle of it. ---

Lindell is a crafty man so I wouldn’t put it past him to shoot all those packets straight at China. Trump reinstated and China crippled. It’s going to be a hell of a Cyber Symposium! ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > I keep telling people: Exodus 32. > > \*31 So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. 32 But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.” This is exactly what my cousin and his wife brought up on their join Facebook account when they saw that statue of Trump at CPAC. My cousin is a bit of a country preacher: he’s not a pastor or anything, but he will occasionally give sermons to fill in. I believe, but am not sure, that his wife teaches Sunday School. It was a nice post to see. Oh, and the reason I mention them having a joint Facebook account is that this seems to be something that is frequent (if not common) in certain evangelical/fundamentalist circles. It shows that their are good people in that group. As an asside, I will mention they also made a post about sexual harassment and assault at churches after my friend/distant cousin made a post about what happened to her. I regret that they (my cousin and his wife) moved away when I was still a kid, and I never got to know them as adults. ---

And how are we rational wingnuts supposed to have confidence in a technology that cannot protect itself from such hacking, or in those who invented and/or administer it? This certainly does give one pause about the whole thing! ---

I’m sure that Lindell will prove beyond the shadow of a doubt — and with geometric logic — that it was the thermostats. I wonder (not really) how many rubes shelled out to attend and booked hotel rooms, none of which are refundable. ---

Many are saying that Trump is super pissed right now! His truest bud, Mikey, promised him he would release the packets (aka the Kraken) and Trump would immediately be reinstated as the Bestest President of All Time. Now he learns that Mikey snorted the cybersecurity that should’ve protected the Kraken and left all the packets vulnerable to China. Sad! ---
