If ever there was a Roundseventeen Person of the Weeks -- and in the twelve years that I've been pumping out this tripe there's never been -- the award would have to go MyPillowGuy™ Mike Lindell.
When Mike goes to meet his Pillow Maker in the sky what do you think will get top billing on his tombstone? Michael Lindell or MyPillowGuy™? I hope when I go my daughters will simply inscribe my marker with Rich Siegel and not their trademarked name for me ______ _______™.

Then, after a longer preamble than a Rachel Maddow blockbuster show, he brought out the "evidence."
Packet Captures he called them, appropriating some election mechanics terminology to give it the sheen of credibility. On the 6 big screens that lined the massive staging area, all 38 attendees of the "Cyber Symposium" feasted their eyes on this...
