We learn at Crooks & Liars that Mike Lindell is mad at the Nazis at Fox (his characterization) for not covering his latest fever dream:
Mike Lindell went on Steve Bannon’s podcast to piss and moan because the media, not even Faux News, is covering the lawsuit he wants to take to SCOTUS on the day before Thanksgiving. Lindell apparently wants us to forget all his other predictions about the election being overturned, because this time it’s for real or something like that.
…
Lindell also claims that some Democratic Attorneys General have also signed on to his lawsuit, but refused to name them. Most likely because they don’t exist except in his swamp-fevered brain.
I’ve written about Lindell before, here and here, and I’ve always assumed that he was simply a grifter, using his Trumpian activities as a way to sell pillows to the Trump crowd. But at this point it’s hard to believe that he’s doing pillow sales much good.
Assuming he’s somewhat sane, he must realize that the Supreme Court is not going to do as he’s predicting, and in a week he’s going to have to acknowledge that. I suppose it could be the case that the faithful will believe whatever pivot he comes up with after nothing happens by Thanksgiving. After all, I understand that the folks who waited for JFK Jr. to appear in Dallas still believe that he will resurrect in some other fashion. But what I haven’t seen is any indication that Lindell has been able to monetize this grift, so you have to wonder: if the best he can do is get on Steve Bannon’s podcast, what’s the point?
Alternatively, he may be seriously mentally ill and believe all this stuff, but I’m of the opinion that some enterprising journalist should do some research and let us know how much Lindell is siphoning out of the pockets of the brain dead.
