He found some magical white powder that helps with that dream. ---

Slightly OT. I heard an ad on Pandora recently, Mikey was marking down his fabulous MyPillows. Like less than half MSRP. It was, I think $29.99 But maybe he always does that? I do remember back before we knew he was wackadoodle, I was looking at the MyPillows, couldn’t convince myself any pillow would be worth $100 for two. ---

I do remember back before we knew he was wackadoodle, I was looking at the MyPillows, couldn’t convince myself any pillow would be worth $100 for two. That’s their list price? I’ve only ever seen them on TV ads (yes, I still have cable) and even in the before-times, it was $30 or $40 in the ads for two. Maybe one of those furniture markup things, then, because I can’t see his target audience paying that much for them. ---

I liked the bit where he gets all pissy because his ~~suckers~~ TV congregation isn’t coughing up enough dough so he refuses to preach and just glares. Wally George was a hoot, too. Of course Behind the Orange Curtain, people took him seriously. ---

Has Mike brought out wheelbarrows full of packets yet? Have the mysterious hackers been brought to justice? Has he waved around a Chinese Spy Thermostat? Shown anyone Bamboo Ballots of Bafflement? Or is he just showing his movie over and over and in between hawking shitty pillows at inflated prices? ---

I’d love to see drone images of the parking lot; my guess is that it closely resembles that at the Ark Encounter. Just curious: was anyone planning to livestream it? I could see Newsmax or OANN doing it, at least at first. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > Just curious: was anyone planning to livestream it? I could see Newsmax or OANN doing it, at least at first. I’m really curious too. Was this to be televised in any way shape or form? Was it all just private attendance by rubes? Televised on a website? What the hell was supposedly hacked? I do know that It’s all lies of course. But was this a private attendance thing? ---

And if it was hacked, it may well have been an inside job. ---

“hacked” is what they call it when the tech firm they used to put everything together consists of Billy-bob and his cousin, who think a token ring is what you use to hold your bong up. ---

If anyone enjoys hearing non stop lies, it’s live streamed [here.](https://rumble.com/embed/vffilv/?pub=4) I found it when I checked over on the Free Republic (no link to avoid a board war). Everyone there says that this is explosive and is clear damning proof. Apparently the big reveal should be at 7:00 central time. Right now they are putting states on the big screen showing the reported vote and then what the vote should actually be if they weren’t hacked by China, in the process revealing that Lindell is really bad at mental math. There is also a weird chryon that was showing a bunch of Chinese characters and an occasional words in English (e.g. “lord of Ring”), now its showing a bunch of names. I assume that that is the cyber. Someone else is going to have to take the bullet on this one, 10 minutes is about all I can stand, and I need my computer screen not caved in with a baseball bat in order to do some work tomorrow. ---

It was almost hypnotic. I half-watched for a good 10 minutes as they went state by state by state. Those devious Chinese stole votes in every single state in the union!
