The very least surprising thing about the last election


Mike Lindell says it was stolen.

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell called for a recount of the 2026 midterms, claiming that he has discovered “new evidence” of election interference — and directing supporters to give money to a nonprofit legal fund that paid one of his own companies more than $4 million between 2023 and 2024.

Nice twist at the end — he’s telling his fans to donate money to a corporation he owns, which means he’s just funneling it all back into his own pocket.

    The Sun article says:
    Stewart said the total number of votes cast in down-ballot races was “not wildly out of line” with the totals at the top of the ballot. An unusual pattern can sometimes warrant further investigation, he added, but the midterm vote totals Lindell cited in his broadcast provide no evidence of interference.

    I think the religious habit of believing things without evidence has trained Lindell to have faith in baseless wishful guesses. Sad.

    I, for one, look forward to the day that Lindell is found dead in a skeezy motel. Hog-tied in TWO wet suits, butt-plugged with his mouth and throat filled with cheap foam pillow-stuffing.

    It’s just karma, amirite?

    Trump is lying that it’s stolen too.

    Also wrong obvs despite the Repugs attempts to rig it.

    This time the Bluenami was too big to rig. The Trump cult party managed to somehow lose in seats they gerrymandered and it seems lost even Mississippi! Plus Texas, Iowa and Kansas FFS!

    Such a global tragedy the last time wasn’t such an Interstellar whatsit ocean world sized blue wave as well. Sigh. Altho’ seems Musk may well have been involved in manipulating the outcome (dunno & I know but still..) Plus voter suppression, shithouse USA system w EC & all.

    Lindell’s just following Dumpster’s down the path to hell. Heather Cox Richardson wrote about Trump’s pivot back to the rigged election narrative:

    Trump tried to resurrect the Big Lie—that any election he loses is rigged—for the midterms, but the power of that lie to conjure news reports is apparently gone. Right-wing personality Megyn Kelly posted a response: “Just stop.”

    Yeah, right, all those Republican-controlled states flipped themselves out of jobs.

    Interesting that even Megyn Kelly says “Stop”.

    Repeating himself with the same tired comments, names, conspiracies, rants, and what-have-you is really all he can do. Unless some external entity tells him something new, the squirrels in his brain cannot exit that wheel. Of course, once he is told something, true or not, it now becomes part of the litany of “facts” to be hauled out ad naseum.

    Mike Lindell is being Mike Lindell.
    Mike Lindell is approximately what Trump might have been without stealing his dad’s business empire from his elder brother.
    .
    Meanwhile, Jeffries is being Jeffries. He failed to get Democrats to show up for the vote on Hegseth.
    I know there were not the votes for next step, but it is important to get corrupt people to go on record of being corrupt.

    Since Trump is now back to the election fraud bullshit, how long before he starts accusing Canada of being behind it?

    Oh heck yes! I think we should count it again too! Slowly… lasciviously… one vote at a time on Fox News with some bow-chicka-bow-bow music running in the background the whole time.
