Finding out can get hella expensive!
Imagine going from smoking crack, to making millions selling shitty pillows at Walmart, to losing it all for Donald Trump. What a loser.
Does someone know the details how he proved him wrong (in a nutshell…)?
TLDR he provided a bunch of packet captures “proving” voting traffic was going to non American IPs. His captures where shown to have been faked because the packet checksums didn’t match, but only on the packets showing traffic going to non American IPs.
With the assistance of a LLM:
A man said he had proof that voting information was being sent to places outside of America. But when people checked his proof, they found out someone had changed it to make it look like it was true. The numbers in his proof didn’t match, so they knew he was not telling the truth.
That seems like pretty technical and advanced forgery for someone of his inclination?
A technical and advanced forgery would have corrected the checksums. Any script kiddie that knows a bit of python can forge packets with the scapy library, or any number of other packet manipulation libraries.
The reality is that it’s probably him who got conned by whoever sold home the “proof.”
Lindell provided data that turned out to be totally irrelevant to his claims
The frantic part is because he’s the crackhead version of a dry drunk. I’m not being sarcastic about the crackhead thing. That’s part of his own supposed redemption story. If it’s even true and he’s stopped smoking the rock or snorting the nose candy. Maybe it’s adderall these days.
I don’t believe so.
As I understand it, he was an actually recovered addict, so it would be “fueled by the damage drugs had already done to his brain before he quit”.
And I think it was crack.
Not to defend the guy, but for a while there pre COVID, while I was doing some volunteer work, I heard from a connected volunteer that Mikey was donating cases upon cases of pillows to rehab locations in his home state, which, speaking as the bleeding heart liberal that I am who wishes we provided more for services like mental health and addiction, is pretty awesome.
A tax write off is possibly just a tax write off, but for a while, at least, it’s possible he might not have been totally reprehensible.
I mean, he also professed to be Christian and there was a stink about him not paying employees like four or five years ago too, so since the Bible has specific things to say about THAT behavior too, it’s pretty easy to draw conclusions but even people who behave like shit bags can perhaps sometimes be nuanced.
he also professed to be Christian
According to Luke 16:13 Jesus Christ said “You cannot serve both God and money.”
Mark 10:21 “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
he also professed to be Christian and there was a stink about him not paying employees
As William S. Burroughs said: “if you’re doing business with a religious son of a bitch, get it in writing. HIs word isn’t worth shit, not with the Good Lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal.”
This dude lies like he breathes. I don’t know why we’d assume the recovered addict bit would be any exception
I’m just glad his commercials have disappeared from the crappy over the air TV stations I watch.
