Reporter confronts MyPillow CEO: You have proof of nothing (CNN)

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claims he has evidence that 2020 election results were hacked, but cybersecurity experts tell CNN his so-called "proof" doesn't add up. CNN's Drew Griffin takes his findings to Lindell.

.....because he stuns them with things that they have never thought about and now they feel empowered with this new knowledge. The fact that he also seems to be one of the nicest guys you may have ever met certainly doesn't hurt either. Also, thanks for introducing me to "Big Think". Looked into it and have bookmarked for what I anticipate will be many hours of my time sucked yet again into the internet.

because he's resisted treatment for whatever condition is making him paranoid. Confronting delusional paranoiacs head on never works, you have to listen to them while you figure out how to work around it, important when you needed their cooperation in treating a medical problem.

Dumdum and all the evil shits who are propping him up are using this guy. He's going to end up with nothing, and he's still going to need help that he's too paranoid to get.

And paranoid, and just plain bizarre. It's really sad, and there is no amount of information that will convince him that his information is wrong.

So I make no judgment about drinking. But I also won’t be on TV if I’ve been at it.


(Unless, of course, the police are involved.)

Justice matters.

Same Modus Operandi

Mike Lindell is just another con man using the same tactics to con the gullible because he knows it works.

I googled "images of random numbers"




Looks impressive. It means absolutely nothing at all.

There are a lot of "Mike Lindells" where I come from (Chicago). The South and Southwest Sides are rife with them.
