Congratulations! LOL
The only thing I heard last night was rain, wind, thunder and the tornado siren (no confirmed tornado).
Fairly lengthy article so I didn’t post it all. Link is included for those who want to read the whole thing.
MyPillow Guy Says He ‘Probably’ Inspired Trump’s Idea of an August Restoration
Donald Trump now has the notion in his head that he could return to the White House in August. But the twice-impeached former president isn’t getting that idea from constitutional scholars or his attorneys. Instead, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell apparently inspired him.
“If Trump is saying August, that is probably because he heard me say it publicly,” Lindell told The Daily Beast on Wednesday.
On Monday, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman tweeted that former President Trump has been telling associates that he expects to be restored to the presidency by August, after Joe Biden’s election is overturned. President Biden, of course, legitimately won the 2020 U.S. presidential election, and decisively beat Trump in the Electoral College and popular vote. There is zero evidence to support that Trump will be back in office this summer, or at any time during the rest of Biden’s term.
In the past few weeks, two people close to Trump told The Daily Beast, the ex-president had begun increasingly quizzing confidants about a potential August return to power. What’s more, he claimed that a lot of “highly respected” people—who Trump did not name—have been saying it’s possible. Both of these sources said they decided not to tell the former president what they were thinking, which was that it’s not going to happen.
It’s unclear, exactly, who these “highly respected” individuals are, and who first got the August chatter in Trump’s ear. But the August deadline tracks with comments made by Lindell, one of the ex-president’s most ardent supporters and personal friends.
“Donald Trump, I believe, will be back in by the end of August,” Lindell said in a late-May appearance on former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, claiming that even liberals like MSNBC host Rachel Maddow would admit the election was stolen. (So far, Maddow has not.)
Other top Trump allies have claimed that Trump could soon return to office. “He can simply be reinstated, but a new inauguration date is set, and Biden is told to move out of the White House, and President Trump should be moved back in,” pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell told a QAnon conference last weekend.

Lindell’s theory that Trump will be returned to office centers on the pillow magnate’s claims that, together with a team of lawyers and well-intentioned “white hat” hackers, he has amassed incontrovertible proof of election fraud to present to the Supreme Court. Once that evidence is unveiled, in Lindell’s telling, the stunned justices will rule 9-0 to return Trump to the presidency.
But Lindell may need to update his deadline. He originally came to the August date after deciding that the Supreme Court would overturn the election in either April or May, with the summer then devoted to hatching a government-wide consensus that Trump should retake the presidency in August. But both April and May have now passed, without even the hint of a Supreme Court ruling in Trump’s favor or the unveiling of Lindell’s much-touted evidence.
The idea that the election could be overturned with proof of election fraud has become a central idea in the Trump grassroots. Election-fraud theorists have become fixated on the phrase “fraud vitiates everything,” claiming that they just need a shred of proof of election fraud to overturn the entire election. Arizona’s shambolic GOP-backed audit has become so important to Republicans in part because of a “domino theory” that holds that, if Arizona’s ballots could be proven to be fraudulent, then elections in other battleground states that backed Biden would also be overturned.
However, not every luminary in Trumpworld is convinced that a grand reinstatement will occur. On Sunday, Trump’s former senior legal adviser and attorney Jenna Ellis tweeted that though she thinks the 2020 presidential election was “lawless,” she conceded, “No, President Trump is not going to be ‘reinstated.’” Ellis later tweeted, “I’ve spoken with President Trump several times over the past few days about election integrity.”
On Wednesday, Lindell said Ellis’s tweet was “ridiculous” and, “I’ve spoken to lawyers about this and she doesn’t know what she is talking about.”

Well, darn! Looks like the meeting already took place earlier today, and it was down in Memphis where the closed I40 bridge is located.
Oh drat, a missed opportunity to show the little twit a real TN welcome.
Wonder if a tour of Graceland was on his schedule?
Praying all goes/went well with your surgery today.
Catching up here again, but making progress in real life.
I wouldn't believe a word this hateful female dog said. Sounds like she is trying to make it sound like Trump is taking advice from "The My Pillow Guy".
I really hate when they use "The My Pillow Guy" as a pejorative for Mike Lindell. He is more successful & done far more with his life than any of these rat bastard "journalists".

President Biden will handle Dr. Fauci’s emails like he did the border crisis.
In other words, appoint Vice President Harris to ignore the problem.

So Bill Gates’ name shows up more than 2 dozen times in the Fauci emails. Who wants to bet that those were not ignored or too long to read for Fauci?
I bet Bill got lots of attention while actual doctors/scientists were ignored because that would mean future TV time for Dr Evil!
“A sheriff in Virginia’s Smyth County has became the third in the state in roughly the past year to switch his party affiliation to Republican, citing anti-police rhetoric used by Democrats.”

BREAKING: Celebrity attorney F. Lee Bailey, who defended O.J. Simpson, Patty Hearst and the alleged Boston Strangler, dies at 87.
This is scary. One thing for Mike Lindell to drink the Kool-Aid, but DJT should know better.
Got home, took pain meds, ate a can of split pea soup and buttermilk. I’m still in pain but manageable.
Gonna put some ice on my chin.
Thanks to all for your prayers and well wishes. Hopefully I’ll be able to eat steak or lamb chop by my birthday, only six days so at least a chicken fried steak lol.
Daily Beast is saying. They did Russian Hoax also.
Exactly.
Thanks, got through it. Now just have to heal, hopefully eating steakin the future. (If I can afford it lol.)
Good to hear, Rusty!
You’re a tough one!
Didn’t you can a bunch of that last year? Did you eat it all?
