What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

Loony Mike Lindell's pillow biz starting to sell off equipment, business is bad. #ETTD.https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4091547-mypillow-auctions-off-equipment-amid-massive-cancellation-ceo-lindell-says/

Go woke, go ?

I actually miss Seth Meyres' impression of him

Ha....turns out having your CEO & Main brand mascot spending most of his time, energy (and probably money) on very loud & very stupid conspiracy theories....is bad for business? Who'd have guessed that one? (Apart from the majority of the human race)

Mike Lindell is equal parts tragic & hillarious to witiness. Tragic because you just knew that there wasn't a good end in store for him. He ran a somewhat successful pillow business, but I feel that he never raked in enough wealth to piss away on the various shenanigans he's been up to since 2020. Now that the business is falling from under him and I feel that's all he's really got. When MyPillow folds, he'll just be a broke unemployed loon in rural Minnesota. What's equally tragic is that Lindell was clearly doing a lot of this to ingratiate himself to Trump, who I sense barely even tolorates him. Trump must be aware that Mike's brand of stupid isn't a very good look for him...even if it is rabid support. Naturally, Trump will do nothing to help Lindell.

Lindell has however been hilarious. Seeing him set up a "Cyber Symposium" to expose China's apparent interference in 2020 by way of showing off some digital "Packact Captures" that Mike had somehow obtained. Turns out said "Packet Captures" were just a random stream of ASCII characters designed to convince tech-challenged folk like Lindell himself that something mysterious was up...thus spycraft....thus....stolen election I guess? Lindell's "Symposium" mostly featured typical MAGA nitwits, there to moslty rant about the left. What few tech experts that were involved included one guy who successfully disproved the Packet Captures, winning a multi-million dollar cash prize that Lindell had put up as a challenge to disprove him....it is a prize that Lindell still refuses to pay out despite court orders.

Lindell also pissed away a load of cash establishing his own amature TV Channel "Lindell TV" which is part of his "Frank Speech" conspiracy website...which in turn, he links alot with his MyPillow business, making things even more difficult for that business. He got booted from advertising on Fox News (his main channel for adverts) for trying to use his advert spots to promote his conspiracy website. I can't imagine there are a lot of places left that are willing to deal with Lindell while he is using his pillow factory as a loony political platform. So now we're here, and Lindell is about to lose his business.

I feel that Mike Lindell is the perfect embodyment of the mentality of MAGA, but also of its folly. A dead-set refusal to accept reality, and a willingness to take up any fiction at all to prevent them for realising that they've put so much of themselves in support of a man who would never give them the time of day or do anything for them beyond enriching himself. And much like Lindell, many will bleed themselves of cash for their chosen idol until eventually they have nothing, and are left to be forgotten by Trump.....who never cared in the first place.

The story of Mike Lindell should serve as a warning to anyone that blind faith can sometimes lead a person to dead ends.

He is just doing that to keep his cover as an FBI undercover agent.

What a better way to prove to the right wing that he is one of them.

Personally I prefer "go fash, lose cash".

Oh I know. You can add France and Hungary to the list, etc.

But in recent times the overt damage has been done in the US and Britain because of people protest voting, without really knowing what it is they're protesting against. And I'd wager a significant amount of Brexit voters woke up the next day and regretted putting their mark on that particular paper. There's, more than likely, an even larger figure today that have come to realise what a fuck up that was.

At least in the US the Trump mistake was rectified. But that dangerous piece of shit still enjoys widespread support and could be in with a shout again because something, something...wOkE, cOmMuNiSM, sOcIaLiStS.

I believe he is vaccinated. I don't think he is antivax but its complicated imho; he seemed to give a lot fewer **** about covid when he found out it was killing minorities at a higher rate than it was killing whites for example. And his entire approach to emergency management was a disaster eg 'everyone should wear a mask, I don't think I will be wearing them though' etc.

Younger than Joe Biden. Still over the age of retirement.

RFK Jr. not really providing a vigorous and youthful alternative, when I think about it.

I mean, people might say that at least he's not senile. Debates over Biden's actual senility notwithstanding, it's pretty depressing if that's the bar.

See in 2014 claiming they would give your kids autism was the peak of antivax, 2020 changed all that and now the autism argument is kind of the low end of anti Vax insanity.
