Mike Lindell announced today that he has a brand new, blockbuster
lawsuit with new evidence that is going to get Trump reinstated. When
Bannon asks him when this is going to get to court, for the 50th time in
2021 he says, “in two weeks.”

The Pillow Guy is hilarious. For instance, how does one get a former
president "reinstated"? He just shows up at the WH and rings the
doorbell?

Has there been a president other than Grover Cleveland to manage that
feat? (non-adjacent presidencies I mean?)

I think he thinks he's going to magically get a case to go to SCOTUS and
it will happen. None of that is remotely true of course. He's just
batshit crazy like most of the right wing.

No. It's never happened again.

Adding to the madness: Grover Cleveland is always counted as the 22nd
and 24th president. This continues to annoy some people. In 1933,
FDR's inauguration medal was struck and counted him as if Cleveland had
served only once, and wasn't the Duo Damsel of the presidency. It
didn't stick.

I think he was the only one. TR tried but couldn't and don't think
there were any 2 non-contiguous term presidents before Cleveland.

My grandfather (the would be federal politician) ensured I knew all
the Canadian prime ministers, my American father made me learn the
presidents and since I both had a good memory and was interested in
politics as a young teenager had no problems making most of them
happy.

Not sure I could do it now but if you gave me a list of all the
presidents and VPs I could sort them into both categories and get it
nearly 100% right from memory. And men who were both (ex. Nixon and
LBJ) I wouldn't flub on those though might flub on the 1810-1850
presidents (e.g. between Jackson and Lincoln)

That's my weakest era, too, but if you can actually get the VPs right,
then your list-fu is awesome. I can only remember the ones from when I
was alive and the ones who eventually became president. I'm even having
some trouble with the VP candidates on the tickets that didn't make it
while I've been alive, which is embarrassing.

Oh, wait. I can't remember Potatoe Guy. I just remember Lloyd Bentsen
telling him, "You, Senator, are no Jack Kennedy." I'm not going to look
him up, though, because I know I know that guy's name. In my dotage, my
brain has turned into a research library, where I have to submit a call
slip for the info I want, and the clerk tells me they're understaffed,
but they'll bring it out to my desk when they can. So I wake up at
oh-dark-thirty in the morning and suddenly the datum is there at my
fingertips.

Either he's just talking crap about how they're going to impose their
will on the country unconstitutionally, or else it's another case of his
school didn't teach civics or American govt. There is no mechanism to
accomplish this goal.

I have a fairly intelligent but narrowly focused acquaintance on the
left that insisted that after the FBI investigated the Russian
interference in the 2016 election, Trump was going to prison and Clinton
would get the presidency by default. I explained to her that the U.S.
presidency isn't like Miss America, where the runner-up gets the title
if the original winner is somehow disqualified.

Evidently this kind of thinking was making the rounds, and I remember
Clinton going on talk shows and disabusing people of the idea, because
there is no constitutional provision for invalidating the results of an
election due to foreign interference. It's possible for the
interference to rise to the level of illegality, at which point it could
be prosecuted, but there is no constitutional remedy for an
illegitimately elected president except for impeachment and conviction.
Even if you ignore the infamous memo that says you can't subject a
sitting president to criminal prosecution, and by strange machinations
you managed to charge, try, convict, and imprison the POTUS, he'd still
be the POTUS unless the 25th Amendment was successfully invoked.

Well done on all of that. I'm not one of the people who goes running
to Pillow Man for a Civics 101 lecture. Shoot, I wouldn't run to him
for a pillow, either.

There was a Louisiana governor who was convicted of corruption and famously
served out his term from a prison cell because his party controlled the
legislature and refused to remove him from office.

Yes, because one has everything to do with the other.

In my increasingly challenged phonetic recall, 'pillow man' has actually
begun to merge with 'pillock'...

Alas Dan Quayle we hardly knew you......what a dumbass for going head
to head on spelling with a top 10 national spelling be competitor -
clearly shoulda known better. National guesstimates on his IQ suddenly
dropped 40 points after that incident!

How many of his pillows do you have, weasel?
