    Well, well, is he going to do time? It’d be fitting to see him biting the pillow.

    How did this bonehead ever get as successful as he is (or was I guess)?

    It makes no sense at all.

    Lindell went on to call Smartmatic “one of the most corrupt companies in the world,” and he vowed to keep fighting until its voting machines are “melted down and turned into prison bars.” He said he’ll take his crusade to eliminate voting machines in favor of paper ballots all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if he has to.

    Bruh, quit while you’re behind. Also, quit eating paint chips and touch some fucking grass. He needs rehab.

      voting machines are how trump stole the 2024 election… electiontruthalliance.com
      actually, the whole “2020 was rigged!” was how they got access to everything they needed to steal it themselves, including source code for the machines.
      Mike Lindal was their “useful idiot”

          Trump also straight up bragged on live TV about rigging the election and no one said a fucking word.

          “I was president, then I wasn’t. Then they rigged the election, and now I’m president again.”

          Whenever I see assholes saying that we voted for this, I try to bring up that we fucking didn’t.
