He may be in a white house, just not that one. ---

Yep, _that_ is what I expect to happen. Even if it were to also happen that Lindell/Powell/Rudy etc. have a catastrophic meltdown of such proportions that Donald himself sends out a message calling them weak losers he hardly knew and only met once or twice. Still the latter _would_ be fun to see in a twisted sort of way, even if it changes nothing about the whole attempt at upending reality. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > I’ve seen this article and I believe it is wrong. I think it is very very wrong. I think the con is going to escalate in the wake of the Big Lindell Cyber-Symposium. I think you misunderstood the article–it isn’t about the winding down of a con _by_ Lindell, it is about the winding down of a con _on_ Lindell. Specifically the con of the packet captures, where Lindell was the gullible mark. ---

OK, I noticed something weird while tuned into CrazyPooloza……I’m not even sure this is the right forum for what I saw but I’ll start here… In an audience shot, I noticed there were two heads in the middle of one of the tables. Two life-sized female heads that appeared to be two-dimensional, like cardboard cutouts. I think they were full-sized photos mounted on stands or something. Either that or there’s a hole in the center of the table and there are two women with really flat faces crouched under it so their heads are centerpieces. Maybe it is some kind of centerpiece. But I managed to nab a screenshot and I think I’ve figured out how to post it. [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/g1eiagF.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/g1eiagF) Yes, that appeared to work! I think the most likely explanation is that those are fake audience members, maybe they are trying to make the room look less empty. Or maybe those are people that wanted to be there, but couldn’t so they sent a full-sized picture of their head on a stand. Who knows? ---

At this point, the kindest thing to do for him is to crowdfund and buy him a kilo or two of his favorite drug. At least he will be doing something he’s good at. ---

Now they’re pretty much going into straight-up Trump porn, a presentation on why the “election cartel” and “vote trafficking organizations” were so desperate to defeat Trump, consisting in large part of a really long series of video clips of Trump insulting various liberals causing the Symposium crowd (the ones that aren’t cardboard heads, at least), to cheer loudly. Now, that’s what they came for! ---

Wow, a lot happening this morning. Biden and Harris just resigned. An emergency Zoom meeting just voted 9-0 to reinstate Trump, who just appointed Mike Lindell as VP. The UN just kicked China out and a special session of the Noble Prize committee just issued a special Peace Prize to Pillow Guy and Kraken Lady. All over the world, people are dancing in the streets. Thanks, IP packet routing. Thank you for saving the world! ---
