Mike Lindell cancels food breaks; says he will talk for 72 hrs at his shit show.

https://www.rawstory.com/mike-lindell-72-hours/

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell insisted on Tuesday that he would not eat or sleep for 72 hours during his "cyber symposium," an event which he claims will prove that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election.

After Lindell spoke at the event for several hours, a panelist noted that a break was on the schedule.

"No!" Lindell exclaimed. "We're not going on a break. Put up that movie again. Run the movie."

"There's no breaks," he told the audience. "We're streaming 72 hours! Live streaming! Around the world! This never stops!"


Sounds like a fun time, Mikey. Hopefully the swag included pillows.

I figure Lindell going three days without water will be good for America.

Even over in freeperville several have pointed out how haggard and manic he looks today, with a couple even wondering if he has fallen back and started using various substances again.

Methed up to the gills. We found him crashed out, sleeping under the plant supervisor's desk. That's a bad place to take a nap on the job when you're coming down. After he was fired, he took up stealing AC units from the neighborhood to support his meth addiction, until the cops caught him.

I guess the moral of the story is to watch your AC units, people. Mike's coming for them!

I expect the usual stupid grifty shit, but also a possible comedy goldmine. 3 days without food or sleep? And he's going to be babbling the whole time? What could possibly go wrong?

Worth a few minutes to check it out, anyway.

I believe he walked off the stage shortly after he said this.

No naps, snack stash depleted, tea and coffee by the gallon, only took bathroom breaks because an emergency field change needed to be installed before we went underway.
I can't vouch for anything done after hour 52, I was delirious by then. But at the age of 23, my autopilot must have been good enough that I got the job done well enough there weren't any problems until we got back.
They tell me I went to a nearby store room, curled up on a couple cardboard boxes, drug a peacoat out for a blanket and slept for about 10 hours. Felt like sh** for a couple days after.

Sure, trials take longer than that, but they're following strict protocols about how the evidence can be presented. It might take 72 hours to review a complex set of evidence. But, you could summarize it in an hour or two.

I hope the media is mostly ignoring this idiot.

He's got three people with proof. And by proof I mean rants and accusations. But I can hardly understand it because the feed stops every few seconds.
