The Mike Drop
Yesterday, the guy who manufactures pillows for a living finally gave an exact day when Trump would once again be returned to the presidency
"By the time of the morning of August the 13th, it will be the talk of the world," he said in an interview. "Let's get this election pulled down. Let's right the right. Let's get these communists out that have taken over and then you'll see."
He then added, "Right now, the biggest concern is getting this election pulled down. Trump won. I mean, it's pretty simple."
This is a chart he later presented with former Gen. Mike Flynn and others, and in Mike Lindell's convoluted, beautiful mind, is what "pretty simple" looks like.
Honest. This is real.
You see that arrow from the top of the board curving down to Trump's head in the middle? Its line originates at the very top of the page where it reads, "JESUS IS KING."
It makes one of Glenn Beck's conspiracy boards look almost half-sane.
I suspect that if, in a completely separate context, you showed this frenzied chart to a panel of medical experts at a court hearing for competence, they'd pull the conservator off of Britney Spears and assign the person to Mike Lindell. And then find a comfortable bed for him under quality care.
Though, in fairness, it does have a sort of similar, swirly artistic sensibility to Van Goh's "Starry Night."
But then, Van Gogh is believed to have suffered a mental breakdown. And cut off his ear. So, y'know, the whole "swirly thing" is a bit troubling. On top of pretty much everything else Mike Lindell has said. And I'm close to including his insistence that a lumpy MyPillow is the most comfortable pillow you'll ever sleep on.
Still, he did finally give us a date, the morning of August 13. I suspect this is an exact date much like the exact date of The Rapture from Christian scam artists raising money off of it is "exact" on an ever-sliding and flexible calendar. It even comes complete with Lindell's own "JESUS IS KING" religious bona fide.
What's also notable -- and surprising that it's gone unmentioned in all the articles I saw of Mr. MyPillow giving the exact date of The Grand Return of Trump -- is that August 13 is a Friday. So, yes, according to the pillow guy, Trump is supposedly returning from purgatory on Friday the 13th.
Combined with Jared Kushner owning the building at 666 Fifth Avenue, Trump returning on the morning of Friday the 13th would only be too perfect if Mike Lindell was prescient. Of course, if Mike Lindell was actually prescient he would have seen far enough ahead that this is quite insane.
The only thing as insane is how many on the far-right truly believe all this. You'd think that that mad, swirly chart by itself would get people to step back and say, "Whoa, hold on a minute! Something is really off here. That man is nuts. And come to think of it, his pillows are actually lumpy and uncomfortable." But the fact that the Trump acolytes have gotten this far pretty much means they'll accept anything. Other than reality.
Indeed, for everything that Lindell and the true believers have thrown in the pot to make all the swirly lines connect on their way to Trump's head, there is basically only one thing they left out -- where in the U.S. Constitution is explains how you throw out of office the duly elected, certified and sworn-in President of the United States and replace him with the loser.
But I guess it's just hard to see that that's missing when you have stars in your eyes
