Every time this whackadoodle starts in on packets I’m reminded of [Dr. Seuss Explains Why Computers Crash](https://www.varietyreading.com/funny-stories/crash.php) — specifically, > If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port > And the bus is interrupted at a very last resort, > And the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, > Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report. It’s obvious Lindell’s wetware BSOD’d a long time ago. ---

1,000 a week? That would amaze me! My monthly costs are 120. ---

Guess who’s tossing his hat in for Minnesota’s governor? Yep! BTW, he’s massively wasted on something during these interviews. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/vowHsV90kLc/hqdefault.jpg "MyPillow Maniac Thinks He Can Run a State") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vowHsV90kLc&t=212s/) ---

I wonder if any of his fundraising (if there’s any of note) is subject to liens from his many creditors? Of course, you can throw your hat in the ring and make much of yourself via free publicity, especially if you’re famous/infamous, but if there is any actual effort that involves, you know, _people_ on the ground, physical materials, and media advertising, money will need to be involved. And per his own admission, NO ONE will lend him money… which is what I think may happen. Someone in the MAGAsphere could “lend” him money as a creditor, and just want to use the disruption with zero intent to ever collect. I may have a nasty suspicious mind. ---

Pardon me for giving him too much benefit of the doubt. 😉 I refuse to look at his face and listen to his voice, so if the reporting isn’t text-based, I’ve missed out on much of his various flubs and malapropisms. ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > I refuse to look at his face and listen to his voice, so if the reporting isn’t text-based, I’ve missed out on much of his various flubs and malapropisms. He amuses me because the Jimmy Kimmel parodies are so faithful to the original that at this point, when I hear him talk and see him on TV it looks like I’m watching a parody of the guy. Also, for anyone who might feel sympathetic to him (nobody in this thread obviously), why is he _still_ trying to prove that elections are being stolen? It’s not like he made some mistake and now he’s trying to live with it and get past it, **he’s still doing it**. “I’m in ruins and I’m being persecuted and oh by the way, the Wisconsin Supreme Court election was rigged and I’m starting an investigation into that, and I’m planning to run for Minnesota governor, but why won’t people just leave this humble salesman alone?!” ---

The ‘humble salesman’ was just evicted from his warehouse in MN for non-payment of rent. He probably wonders why Trump didn’t give him a cabinet post. ---

It’s not like he made some mistake and now he’s trying to live with it and get past it, **he’s still doing it**. Hypotheses: 1. He still thinks he’s right about all of it. 2. It still helps bring in donations – which he needs now more than ever. 3. He is truly, legitimately, clinically delusional. ---
