    When is he releasing the evidence and will y’all shut up when this one falls through like the 40+ ones before it?

    It looks like after 50 claims over 8 months that evidence is being released next week they would figure out they are being lied to.

    At this point, any proof would strain the scientific method to its most basic, that is; proof is for alcohol and mathematics. We're at the point where you say "gravity is just a theory" and claim you have evidence it is false. All I can do is continue to drop objects and observe their behavior. Only when you come and demonstrate how a dropped ball floats in the air can anything be evidenced.

    A simple fact of life is that we have to trust somebody. Trusting people based on the letter after their name is a fool's choice. Trusting only one man, with everything, is delusional.

    Another simple fact of life is that everybody isn't lying. When 100 witnesses see a crime occur, "fake news" is not a defense. Not for rational people, anyway.

    Yes, that's true. One of the arguments brought up when discussing the issue of Religion.

    It gets more complicated when 100 witnesses say something is a certain way, and 50 other witnesses say it is not.

    Especially when it is not a fact so easy to prove or disprove and is open to a lot of interpretation.

    Throw on a politically-charged topic and it gets far more complicated to determine the truth. At least when it's a neutral topic the witnesses don't have reason for bias or lying.

    What word means to stir up?

    synonyms: fire up, heat, ignite, inflame, wake. types: ferment. work up into agitation or excitement. type of: arouse, elicit, enkindle, evoke, fire, kindle, pique, provoke, raise.

    NOTE: Trump also knows how to ''stir up'', and IMO, he's a ''stir up'' specialist.

    I'm talking about life. The natural world. We all practice trust. Even a mountain man trusts himself. My point is that, after 9 months of no evidence, and countless qualified people telling us the election was secure, who to trust should not be a difficult choice.


    When that happens, you would be correct. That isn't what has happened. All the witnesses in the first impeachment were impeccable. They all said the same thing. Every book, article, unnamed source, news report, note, court case, whathaveyou; says the same thing.

    Donald Trump is not a sophisticated man. It's my opinion (and that of others who know), that this is the rock bottom source of his delusion; that he was never accepted into the Manhattan Boys Club for Wayward Rich Guys. Trump envies Bloomberg, and why wouldn't he? Anyway, point is, Donald Trump is not a mystery. He sees to it. That he has such power over people is an illusion; his groupies would never make it as mountain men, because they don't trust themselves. It's much like the cycle of abuse, from father to sons, only the basis isn't alcohol, it's insecurity. It's the insecurity that has power here.

    Trump Trump Trump All the left ever does is talk about Trump.

    I guess all the below problems were solved and Trump is the only thing left to talk about:

    China virus and the upcoming lock downs
    Teachers still don't want to go back to work
    Crime in liberal cities has ceased
    It no longer matters that democrat governors murdered thousands of people in nursing homes
    Cuomo's sexual harassment problem was all a big mistake
    Asians are no longer being attacked by POC
    The left hasn't found anything racist to talk about today
    The border crisis problem magically went away
    Inflation has stopped
    China stopped stealing our intellectual property
    Russia stopped hacking us
    The CRT question has been figured out
    They finally found something Harris might be good at although no one is telling us what it is
    Biden's brain cells are regenerating
    Hunter Biden's laptop problems were all imaginary
    The left isn't concerned about the arse whooping they're going to get in the midterms because Trump Trump Trump

    When all the left has to talk about is Trump, that tells me their racist kid sniffing pervert and his sidekick, Kamala 'Have Mattress Will Travel' Harris, aren't doing anything good worth discussing.

    And that's exactly what the left must do.

    Trump has traumatized the country.

    Wasn't it the MAGA who said that Trump had a way of driving Liberals crazy?

    His visibility is proportional to the Democrats' chances of retaining power in Congress and the WH.

    But I don't understand why you have a problem with it, you who love him so much.

    Well I guess firstly, I'm not an American citizen. Secondly I'm not left nor right in the ways some people here will try to label.

    I just wondered what the numbers meant and if this person is another bono-fide nutter.

    I don't think my opening post mentioned virus, crime, sexual harassment, racism. China nor Russia, Biden or laptops.

    I was merely asking if anyone knew about the evidence that mike had

    Then the burden of proof is on accusing him of fraudulent claims. Glad you agree.

    Each of them have fallen through from bamboo ballots to overages on absentee ballots to various ink accusations.

    You didn’t answer the question. Will y’all shut the **** up when this — like all others before it — doesn’t materialize?

    To understand Mike Lindell, you have to know his target market. It's the fearful and angry "evangelicals", the same people that TV preachers and others have been fleecing forever. He sells that he is a "born again Christian" that became successful after rebirth because of his rebirth and Christ's anointment.

    Stupid? Sorry stupid people don't become self made millionaires. Partisan? Of course. Confused? probably. Irritating? For sure.

    What makes people want others to prove a negative which is impossible? Yet they do it over and over. Lindell does it. You also do it.

    Seriously, he is a crack addict who sells magic pillows. I said meth but it was crack.

    But he also tried selling a magic cure for Covid.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/20/health/covid-oleandrin-trump-mypillow.html

    And his snake oil is nothing new

    Lindell is the poster child for the "drug addict saved by Jesus" con. His success is to be expected. What I don't get is the evangelical support for Trump.

    Most of it ties to white grievance, I guess.

    They have been stoked to part with their money using fear and anger about cultural change. I can't blame them but the leaders they believe are also exploiting them. Fear and anger make people irrational and pliable.

    well... you learn something everyday - I don't own a TV so never seen these adverts! So the man sells mystical, healing, well-being pillows and can now
    decipher a page of blurry numbers into something important?

    Well - praise be on all. will order a pillow and see if I can reap the benefits of the knowledge it will grant me.

    Or.... Is he just an Idiot?

    I still wondering what information he has, or is it just a publicity stunt?
