For weeks, the lunatic far-right has peddled the nonsensical promise that the former guy was waiting in the wings to be "reinstated" to the Oval Office by August 13. One of the chief peddlers of "reinstatement" has been the unhinged former crack addict and Trump cult member Mike "Pillow Guy" Lindell, whose frothing-at-the-mouth interviews have been the topic of psychiatric speculation.
The Pillow Guy's been prominently engaged in spreading the Big Lie about the election being stolen from his Dear Leader, most recently at this week's craptacular "Cyber Symposium" in Sioux Falls, SD. His own "cyber" expert undermined his claim that China hacked the voting systems by saying there was no evidence of fraud or tampering. That was followed by a court decision that said that Dominion Voting Systems could continue their $1.3 billion defamation suit against him and others, news of which had him abruptly exiting his "symposium."
As with most unhinged conspiracists, they move the date or have an explanation to their gullible followers to continue the con. And a con it is: during Lindell's "symposium," he was running regular ads for his pillows, which have been discontinued from major outlets like Bed Bath and Beyond and Kohl's. Happy Friday the 13th.
