Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – “My Pillhead” edition

Tommy T

So – The Darnold still has no place to post his pearls of wisdom, and “Q” quit squeezing out his drops late last year.  The Freeperati have been reduced to calling President Biden “Bidet”, and quoting bible verses at each other in the run-up to Easter.

If only they had a surrogate savior to pick up the fallen flag of Trump and carry it forward.

MyPillow guy tells Steve Bannon that Trump ‘will be back in office in August’

Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, is still touting wild conspiracy theories about voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Most recently, during an appearance on former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon’s “War Room: Pandemic” podcast, Lindell baselessly asserted he has evidence that will eventually get to the Supreme Court and overturn the results of the 2020 election. “[Former President] Donald Trump will be back in office in August,” he boldly proclaimed.

Trump doesn’t have many allies left who are still publicly claiming the election was rigged, but Lindell has never slowed down, even though he has yet to bring anything remotely noteworthy to the table to back up his baseless claims, which even compelled a NewsMax host to walk out of an interview with him earlier this year.

But the “MyPillow Guy” wasn’t the only person pushing the narrative in recent days. On Sunday night, former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) participated in a World Prayer Network prayer call, during which she called the 2020 election a “coup” driven by voter fraud and asserted her belief that congressional Democrats’ voting rights bill, known as H.R. 1, will “forever cement that illegal takeover into place.”

Waiting breathlessly for that first reply – the rallying cry that will salve the Freeperatis’ butthurt, and validate the Wisdom Of Lindell……

I can’t imagine that the “Qtard” comment hasn’t generated any response.  Jim Rob let the Qbots have their own threads, on which disagreement or ridicule are verboten, but the Qberts are free to post on anyone else’s threads, so –

So you oppose the stolen election being rectified?

That’s “rectal-fied”.  And I love your sig line.

Mike thinks the justices will watch his new movie and be so shocked that they’ll convene SCOTUS and award the presidency to Biden.

The notion is too stupid to either oppose or support.

Why does Lindell undermine his credibility by making claims like this?

Mike is a political novice who believes that justice will prevail. He is a fearless patriot whose naivete should not be mocked here.

A question for the Freeper who started the thread :
To: yesthatjallen

Seriously, my FRiend, not meaning to attack, but why post something so impenetrably stupid and constitutionally impossible just because it’s “being reported”?

Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with Random Ruminations – Big Bang edition

Tommy T

Homemade fireworks Every year (when I was in high school) I used to make industrial-grade crackerballs (the fireworks available back then that exploded with a pop when you threw them down on pavement) out of Potassium Perchlorate and one other ingredient. The report was cherry-bomb sized, but not as fierce as an M80, and everyone I sold them to knew to either throw them against a wall or hit them with something like a spade. I was busily making them in study hall, wrapping the finished products in tinfoil and putting them in my satchel, when a classmate came over … Continue reading Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with Random Ruminations – Big Bang edition

Saturday Odds & Sods: Roll Away The Stone

Peter Adrastos Athas
Notre Dame by Pablo Picasso.

I’ve already blasphemed about Easter in my Son Of Jab Talking post so I’ll resist the urge here. Besides, how can a non-believer blaspheme? A question for the ages.

This week’s theme song was written in 1974 by Ian Hunter for Mott The Hoople’s The Hoople album. They’re one of my favorite bands of that era; all flash and swagger. I like flash and swagger in a rock band.

I saw Mott perform live on that tour on a bill with BTO and a totally unknown band from Boston, Aerosmith. Great show although I’m not sure what Mormon rocker Randy Bachman thought of Ian Hunter and Steven Tyler; not to mention Mott guitarist Ariel Bender. That’s a stage name: his real moniker is nearly as colorful, Luther Grosvenor.

We move from glam rock to roots rock with this week’s co-theme song. It was written by Michael Dempsey and Leon Russell for the latter’s eponymous debut album:

Two more songs with stone in the title:

Let’s crawl to the break then jump if such a thing is feasible.

April In Paris

Peter Adrastos Athas

 

I’m not in Paris but it’s April. That’s why I picked April In Paris by Vernon Duke and Yip Harburg as this week’s selection. It was written in 1932 for a Broadway musical that nobody’s ever heard of so we’ll skip the name. The song, however, is memorable.

We begin this week’s promenade down memory lane with  Ella & Louis:

It’s vocalese time with Lambert, Hendricks & Bavan:

My Only Man of the Hour

cassandraisright

I’m surprised that I’m so upset over a pretty minor thing, but it’s bugging me, so I’m going to write about it. I’m really upset about how the media is covering the Biden dogs, and especially Major and his ongoing issues. Here’s the thing:  rescue animals have problems. Even the most well-adjusted rescue pet has had to deal with the trauma of being taken from where they were and placed in the shelter or rescue facility. When you disrupt their daily lives, those issues are going to come back into play. A few years ago, in the span of 6 … Continue reading My Only Man of the Hour

These Little Town Blues

shapiroout

  The attack on an elderly Filipino women named Vilma Kari in New York City this past week was horrific. I don’t want to make light of it in anyway. But I do want to talk about two related issues to this attack. The first is whether this was a “hate crime”. There are genuine hate crimes, attacks where the only rational is the victim’s race, color, or national origin. I want to suggest that this might not be the case here. The attacker, Brandon Elliot, had recently been paroled from prison. He had been sent there as a 19 … Continue reading These Little Town Blues
