MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell continues to push deranged conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was "stolen" from former President Donald Trump by Democrats engaging in widespread election fraud with election software companies and foreign countries like China.

He absurdly claims to have irrefutable proof of this fantasy, despite never supplying it.


Currently, Lindell is leading a three day "cyber symposium," a conservative retreat broadcast live on his social media outlet, where Lindell and so-called experts ramble about God, corruption, and the evil media.

But though Lindell has repeatedly claimed there's indisputable proof that China stole the election from Trump, one of his own experts is saying the opposite.

Lindell says the so-called proof lies in "packet captures"—data packets intercepted as the data travels between networks. Lindell claimed to have 37 terabytes of these so-called packet captures.

According to the Washington Times, which first reported the story, said Merritt

"[T]old The Washington Times that packet captures are unrecoverable in the data and that the data, as provided, cannot prove a cyber incursion by China."

He continued:

"[W]e're not going to say that this is legitimate if we don't have confidence in the information."

Lindell repeatedly promised $5 million to anyone who could disprove his election conspiracy theories, but according to Merritt, that offer is no longer in play.

Upon reading a piece on the report from the right-wing Gateway Pundit, where accused the writer of being CIA.


People weren't surprised to see Lindell's fantasies once again fall apart.







During the symposium, a federal judge ruled that Dominion Voting Systems' $1.3 billion defamation suit against Lindell and other peddlers of election disinformation would not be dismissed.

Some think this played a role in Merritt's recent comments.


It doesn't seem like things will get better for LIndell any time soon.

James Talarico Epically Blasts Trump And Senate Opponent Over What It Means To Be A 'Real Man'

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico criticized his opponent in November's election, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as well as President Donald Trump in a speech about what it means to be a "real man" after facing regular attacks on his masculinity.

Trump has described Talarico as “a weird—a weird—candidate,” a line that was quickly incorporated into an advertisement from Paxton, who argued that that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism. Members of the right-wing have followed suit and described Talarico as an “effeminate, estrogenetic, catty, and totally embarrassing” candidate.

Jennifer Aniston And Lisa Kudrow's Idea For A 'Friends' Spinoff Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

For decades, critics have argued that Friends benefited from a television landscape that often overlooked Black-led sitcoms telling similar stories. So when Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow recently floated the idea of a Friends spinoff called Girlfriends, many viewers saw it as yet another example of Black television history being left out of the conversation.

During Variety's Actors on Actors, Aniston and Kudrow discussed what a potential Friends revival could look like more than 20 years after the sitcom ended its original run.
