Longer version: there are elected Republican officials who are very scared of ‘45’s’ reach.

I call bullshit. There’s no way there’s almost 800,000 people in Idaho.

The “audits” and recounts always played into the hands of TFG and his goon minions. They continue to do so.

Informed of the results over the phone Thursday by TPM, the deep-pocketed bedding entrepreneur wasn’t convinced.

The thing about Lindell is that he is a fraud, a liar, a shyster, a conman. “Convincing” doesn’t come into it.

I hope they at least sent him the bill for this re-count.

In Butte, the original official canvas showed 1,202 votes for Trump and 188 for Biden. Lindell asserted that Trump really won 1,260 to 130, and cited complex mathematical formulas and web traffic. The official result, he said, reflected 116 “flipped” votes.

But the recount, the results of which were announced Wednesday, found 1,193 votes for Trump and 188 for Biden.

Every time there’s been a recount, Biden wins by more. You cannot make this shit up!

It’s a good question. He’s become a roving asshole and general time-sink. Reminds me of the jerks who broke into the meeting in New Hampshire. How long until state R secs of state start telling Lindell to go take a flying leap? How long until aggressive hostile idiots who disrupt and ruin meetings on the public’s business get thrown in jail? They’re like those window-washers in NYC in the '80s who would smear your car’s windows and then demand money.
On second thought, they’re much worse.

The opinion of former crack addicts is usually fixed, and they are not receptive to persuasion. Mike Lindell is a former crack addict. Conclusion: Obvious.

Tomorrow’s headline: “Lindell claims ‘serious fraud’ in 2016 Presidential election, demands recount.”
Day after tomorrow: “Lindell sues his own bank, claiming he has less money than they say he does. ‘Those dollars are not real people,’ says Lindell.”

Mr. Lindell only has a large platform because the media runs every word that dribbles out of his mouth. Like many of the other crazies invited on TV (for ratings, entertainment - not as experts), he and they should be the ones that used to stand on the street corner shouting random shit while we averted our eyes and walked around them. It is a disservice (to put it mildly) to present these people (Sebastian Gorka?) to a large audience as having any shred of knowledge or sanity.

Well, they’re kind of stuck, aren’t they? On the one hand, they know Lindell is full of shit. On the other hand, they are frightened of the heavily armed white supremacist Trump supporters who say, “I know where you live.” Whacha gonna do? They all climbed up on the tiger. Their only choice is to ride it.

I feel for his poor employees. They’re watching their CEO piss away money and customers. Their jobs are on the line and they have no voice.

Why in god’s name is he doing this in Idaho? It’s so red it makes blood look pale. (Thich is why I and my family moved to Washington.) This is so absurd.

Why is he trying to reason with the @$$hole Lindell, just sue his tail off.

There needs to be some clever & definitive counter strategy to this idiot - something where he ends up putting some sort of “skin in the game” … along with some pretty binary benchmarks.

He’s a pretty seriously disturbed recovering drug & alcohol abuser and compulsive gambler… who demonstrates what seem to be periodic manic outbursts … He has no discernible higher education - attended the University of Minnesota after high school, but dropped out after a few months … he is virtually nothing but deranged bluster … a highly shifty & sketchy con-man - -
somebody should be able to figure out how to trip him up in a way that he is removed from the political arena … or scampers out of his own accord.

I think he means that each voter should be called in to swear to the accuracy of their individual vote, or something.

Voting is anonymous for a reason.

Sure, but he had lots of commercials on Fox News.
