The Monday Thought
I saw this image and immediately thought of a lot of things.
After Mike Lindell’s own symposium failed to show any voter fraud, why does anybody still want him on TV?
If the Trump people are serious about running for President in 2024, why do they trot this huckster out at a rally?
What the hell is a RSBN?
Why does RSBN feel like it needs to advertise for MyPillow during a Mike Lindell speech?
How much does Mike Lindell pay RSBN for their support?
Does RSBN operate on a pay-to-play model?
Why does RSBN feel like some sort of state media for Trump world?
How do real conservatives feel about any of this?
Has Dan Cox angled to appear on RSBN yet?
Will he?
How come all of the “conservative” “networks” have the same general low-rent look and feel about them?
How come despite their low-rent look and feel, the “talent” tends to me even more low rent?
How can anybody still believe claims about the election when they’ve lost more in a row than the Orioles have?
How much longer will it be before national Republicans come to their sense?
How much longer will it be before conservatives say the hell with it and abandon the GOP to the left-wing Trumpists?
How long before the lawsuits against Lindell actually make him realize there are consequences for his actions?
How much lower can this stolen election farce go?
