I feel good for the IT expert. Easy money, indeed. Ok, he would have known beforehand that he couldn’t collect the money without the help of lawyers, but I guess the per hour rate for his work is still quite good. ---

It was not that long ago there were rumblings that Mike Lindell was going to run against Tim Walz for Minnesota Governor in 2022, and he was considered a serious candidate. In 2020 Lindell was Trump’s Minnesota campaign chair, Trump apparently was encouraging him to run, and Lindell also attended a Republican Governors Association meeting where he was urged to run and stated he was 99% sure he was running. He completely went off the rails after the 2020 election, and now I don’t think anyone takes him seriously. ---

Yeah, I know. The crazy seemed to be in remission, though, or was being ignored. He was being discussed as a legitimate candidate for Governor ---

> [@gnarator](#): > > The crazy seemed to be in remission, though, or was being ignored. From what I remember, the narrative around him, at that time, was that yes, he had a troubled past, particularly due to drug abuse, but that, thanks to becoming a Christian (or reaffirming his faith), he was able to get clean/sober, and became a business success. As noted, the election-denial thing seemed to re-catalyze his worst tendencies. ---

Poor guy. In a way I feel sorry for him. He’s been bamboozled by Trump. He really believes the election was stolen. In his own mind, he’s trying to fight a great injustice. He will spend every last cent on this thing. He’s Trump’s single biggest victim. ---

I feel no sympathy whatsoever for anyone who has been duped out of money by Trump. If you’re willfully ignorant and delusional, hard luck to pay the price. The biggest victims of Trump though are the five killed people on the day of the Trump ordered insurrection.
