if you're not a governor, why would you go to a convention, anyway?

 Embattled MyPillow founder & CEO Mike Lindell is spinning the tale now of how he was, essentially, disinvited at the very last second from the Republican Governors Association event in Tennessee, this after Lindell, who attended last year's convention, and had picked up his credentials for this year, was already on-site.

As Farron Cousins explains, Lindell isn't a sitting governor, not even in his home state of Minnesota, but somehow got into last year's RGA convention, probably thanks to fellow GOPer sycophant Ron DeSantis of Florida, if I could hazard a guess. Cousins does not, however, make that same supposition in this video:


I don't think the GOPers have completely woken up to the fact that Lindell is, as Cousins suggests, toxic because of his pushing the false narratives of former president Donald Trump well past their expiration date. Lindell, a recovered alcoholic and born-again Christian, may have backslidden because of his association with Trump, who conned the Christians into supporting him in the first place. 

Lindell is not the only GOPer with issues making headlines this morning.

Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield decided on Tuesday to take issue with Kellogg's, of all companies.

With June designated as Pride month in support of the LGBTQ+ community, Kellogg's is issuing a limited edition cereal that features their well known mascots, including Tony the Tiger, Toucan Sam, and the Rice Krispies elves, Snap, Crackle, & Pop, on the front of the boxes. The special edition cereal is being coordinated with the support of GLAAD.

Because it was a slow news day for Newsmax, and being that they're desperate for ratings, Stinchfield went on a lengthy, nonsensical rant that also targeted Lucky the Leprechaun, the long time mascot of General Mills' Lucky Charms cereals. Stinchfield mistook Lucky's suit pants for tights, and accused Lucky, who's been around for roughly 60 years, of being gay. No, he's not.

Stinchfield was booted from the airwaves for 2 days two weeks ago for making some stupid remarks about American Jews and Israel, which Newsmax tried to spin around. What he did this time, of course, was create an excuse for the Legion of The Brainwashed to get riled up all over again.

Newsmax is available in the home district as a premium channel on Spectrum Cable. Good thing, too, since I wouldn't waste money on that garbage.

The term "woke" has lost all meaning; it's become the right's new buzzword for "anything or anyone I don't like". No one on the left even uses that term anymore. You know nobody's forcing you to buy the flipping cereal, right, my guy?

They call liberals 'snowflakes', yet they're the ones who have a meltdown over the stupidest, most trivial things. It's a testament to Joe Biden's nonthreatening competence that the right wingnuts have reach this far for something to be outraged over.

As for Madman Mike Lindell, he can always go off to party with Joe Piscopo and Diamond & Silk. They can call it Loser-Palooza.

Piscopo made a fatal mistake becoming a GOPer with a morning talk show. Whinedell is seeing his 15 minutes fade away.
