On the eve of what pillow entrepreneur Mike Lindell says will be the return of the Donald Trump presidency following the revelation of evidence that the 2020 election was somehow corrupt, Rachel Maddow looks at reporting on the collapse of the evidence on which Lindell was apparently relying, and indications of the involvement of a notorious scammer.

#MSNBC #MikeLindell #Trump
I’m not sure which is more disturbing. That this is actually happening or that there are people out there believing it.
On both fronts I’d say😎
@Frank Marano Im in NZ, so it was about 4am each day. It was sheer madness, and a lot of it was like an SNL skit. The comedy value was off the charts. I’m glad I got through it. I can state with hesitation that Mike brought NOTHING to the table that showed anything at all.
@Armastat Lindell is now pulling a Jussie Smollett and claiming he was assaulted. With all the hundreds of cameras in the area, not one saw the crime.
@Steve Hutton Yeah what’s hilarious is there was a CNN piece where they actually brought a tech expert & he said he was expecting SOME data to sift through. He expected it wouldnt show anything BUT he was going to follow the evidence no matter where it took him. He said he was shocked that he presented NO evidence, nothing at all that could even BEGIN to be used to determine ANYTHING!
& OF COURSE there were sole in the comments saying things like, “MIKE PROVED THAT DOMINION SCRUBBED THEIR MACHINES, THIS IS FAKE NEWS!!” & I just cant get over how sad that is, to believe such a loon
But I always think its interesting to talk to people in far away places, cheers from Florida
@Ampersandrascott
Right! I’m absolutely NOT impressed by your claim! But thanks for the chuckle I got out of it 👍
Some of these people are going to have a realization in the morning, but most of them are going to use the lack of evidence AS EVIDENCE of conspiracy.
Yea evidence of their LOL f…… DELUSIONS.
@John Wisehart that’s that hereditary dementia starting to take over trumps faculties or what he has left.😜😋🤣😭😅😷🇺🇸😷🇺🇸😷🇺🇸😷🇺🇸
@John Wisehart the yosamittes yooseemtees Yosemite
@William Franceschi Absolutely! But, if some people haven’t heard of them, that’s cuz they were anomnousss…??? Anomnousss…?? ‘Er sumptin’ like that. 🤣🤣🤣
self-fulfilling prophecy: you wish for doomsday so badly that you go out and cause it.
“Where do you go with a failed prediction that specific?”
A padded cell.
@mike brigs a big chunk of that 600,000 might still be here if they wore masks, some would’ve died either way.
Common sense ;MASKS SAVE LIVES!!!
@Gabriel Ragsdale take it to count or STFU.
Padded with comfy pillows.
Or a crack den!
They will go to the next mentally ill/rejuvenating to the ignorant, people that will listen…. It doesn’t stop; there is a sad fact we are missing in all of this, no one is paying a price for deceiving the people who fall into this. I have little sympathy for those that do @ this point… In fact, I think they want to be there. So………….
Mike Lindell is this decade’s Harold Camping – the preacher who confidently predicted the Rapture on May 21, 2011. The day came and went, and so did Camping’s ministry.
@Dale Hartley Haha! Didn’t you just love that? I laughed so hard, I nearly fell off the couch! No wonder they can wring every last dollar out of these morons. They don’t even listen to themselves when they speak. They say the quiet parts out loud. Right down at the bottom of the compost heap.
@KLC Palk most of people are more open minded then you are and don’t just focus on the same news like you do with fox oan or newsmax
Remember a friend of mine giving me all sorts of booklets thick booklets about Harold camping in yeah it’s camping in the 2nd coming Beautiful I’ve seen that friend about a month ago but I don’t bring that up cause I don’t want to embarrass him hes a religious guy who believes in Christ, that’s good enough for me
@KLC Palk oh sit down you ridiculous flakewit. It is now 3:34 South Dakota time, Friday the 13th.
So… Let’s see who will be sleeping in the White House tonight, I wonder. 🤔
Oh wait no I do know, after all. IT WILL BE PRESIDENT BIDEN, just like tomorrow night and the night after that and the night after that and the night after that….
I believe the truth that I see and hear and things I know to be true because they actually pass the fact test, and, like most of us, I am well acquainted with reality. You however, sir, along with Mr pillow, have a long way to go before you make friends with reality
Maybe your orange fascist toddler actually grifted enough money from you fools to go buy an island somewhere where he can be the pretend King. Then you can all live there and let America and Americans get on with the business of being America and Americans.
Bubbeye…Don’t let the border walll hit you on the way out.
@James Carlson Trying to use that same old worthless atheist garbage… You stepped up and said something stupid, You prove it’s true. You could always go wash the evidence but you’re too lazy to…
“What are you going to say…” He can say what ever he wants and those silly followers will believe it.
Wrong . ..the substantive nature of Truth shall prevail….Isaiah 55:11
Every religion ever had to walk back on their prophecies always and did so without a whole lot of repercussions.
Unfortunately that’s probably true. It’s very, very hard to admit you’ve been wrong. Playing Devil’s advocate here, what if what Lindell’s been saying all along actually had turned out to be true. Would we who never bought into it be so easily swayed by their evidence? I doubt it. It’s human nature to want to think you’re smarter than the next guy and no matter what evidence is shown, if it doesn’t fit your particular narrative, it gets summarily dismissed. Sad, but I fear true.
“It’s easier to fool someone than to convince them that they’ve been fooled.” – Mark Twain
@mike brigs get over it you lost .. time to move on with your life 😭–>
@Trump will never be President again Q is stupid “Q” is not stupid. The people whom believe that “Q” is on their side are stupid. “Q” IS A PSY-OPS FOLKS. I thought everyone knew this by now. “Q” is not one person. “Q” is not anyone’s friend. “Q” is not exposing what the followers of “Q” think is being exposed. “Q” is exposing the information on every “Q” follower’s computer. “Q” is a product of the Left, making a mockery of the Right.
@Tracy Tayag You’re so upset about my screenname! Hilarious! 😂
@Trump will never be President again Q is stupid Uh. No. I made no mention of T-Rump. I am not upset about anything involving your screen name. I am flabbergasted that people do not know the truth about this whole “Q” thing. What was it that made you believe that your screen name upset me? It did not. You only created this screen name because you seek attention and…let me guess…you get the attention. So mission accomplished! Yaaaay! Good for you.
Which is why we need to come up with our own big lie to feed them. If we did it just right, who knows what we could fool them into believing?
Dominion’s attorneys have got to be laughing as Lindell makes their case against him
Yes it’s very strange that he, Trump and Giuliani all continue say and do things that are self-incriminating. Only Sidney Powell has reversed course and said that no reasonable person – would have or could have or should have – believed the quite obvious falsehoods that she preached. But will that save her from doing a stretch in the crowbar hotel?
@Cyan Cat no
Anybody that listens and believes that My Pillow Fool is also a fool. 😂
Lindell has come to realize that “Lying” is a business from which he can profit. And he has…
It will all go into Dominium’s pocket anyway
Those liberal pillows don’t stand a chance. He is a marketing genius.
@Robert T yeah right . He’s marketing himself into financial oblivion.
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
Pretty sure Carl Sagan was a lizard person though. If you don’t think so then ask yourself this question. Can you prove he wasn’t a lizard person? See, i gotcha.
@Science is Hard “I’ll give you $5M if you can prove Carl Sagan was not a lizard person.” – Mike Lindell
Goebbels of Nazi fame reputedly said…..”If you tell a big lie long enough it becomes the truth.” This is what the Trump/Lindell/Republican axis of late does. They have turned a valid political party into a lying festival…too bad.
It really is impressive how she has genuine empathy for the people who have fallen for this con….big difference in how people on the left operate vs the hatred/anger shown by almost everyone on the right
XD never heard spare the rod spoil the child! We’re not sparing the rod for these GQP children!
I would say in what diluted reality are you seeing what you just said. But then I thought, I already know. Just another mainstream media addict who has no idea what is really happening because their beloved propaganda sources keep them in the dark.
Where is your love for us? Trump has scrambled your humane sympathy.
@Muthafucka Jones And you’re apparently another “alt” propaganda addict who’s been led to believe any “mainstream media” (read: media legitimized through fact-finding by multiple outlets) is garbage / the Devil Incarnate. We’ve all got our biases and narratives, fella. Pretending you’re above it is self-delusion.
“Start reporting election fraud and stop fact checking.”
Wait.
Breaking News – No Fraud of any amount found. P Scores a goose egg.
@Bioniq Bob
They probably found a bunch of fraud. On the repugnagant side.
Well, at least the Pillow guy has secured his spot in the history books as one of the craziest characters in the trump show.
.. apart from Trump himself, of course, closely followed by Guiliaini..
@Freddo Flintstono Yep, clearly the Holy Trinity of crazy!
@John S in the name of the Loser, the Chump, and the Holy Fart?
That’s a pretty F’n low bar to crawl under
🤣
Breaking news August 13, 2021: The Loser successfully retained his title as The Loser.
Those people don’t need a podium they need a “F”-ing psychiatrist!
“Where do you go with a failed prediction that specific?”
Directly to civil court to face a $1.5 B defamation law suit.
🤑 = dominion lawyers.
Not Disney Land??? Oooooh! 😉
ka-ching!
“It’s easy to look down at them for that.”
Yep. Yep. It’s very very easy. No trouble at all.
He now has irrefutable proof that he is insane, for his future insanity plea in court.
lol good one
He’s sounds, eerily, like an uncle of mine, while he was in the middle of a mental breakdown.
I don’t think Lindell is in the middle of a mental breakdown. I think that happened a long time ago.
I hope they come to realize how dumb they are to put their trust in a conman. Oh, wait! They’re probably are getting used to it by now after 4 years of Trump’s lies.
“Where do you go with a failed prediction that specific?” Isn’t it obvious? You start a religion.
