Ya'll should watch some of his 'broadcasts'.

Not, like, the whole things.

Tommy Campbell's YT channel does basically recaps of the stupidest shit the stupid MAGA clowns do and... well Mr. Lindell features quite often.

Lindell is basically the most perfect stereotype for a loser idiot boomer that lucked his way into being a business owner, and he is of course astoundingly technically incompetent.

There are at this point running gags with a number of words that he seemingly is incapable of pronouncing correctly, the guy produces moron clips at such a rate Im surprised he isnt a number of widely used meme formats.

incapable of pronouncing correctly

Lonely bookish kids, grown men who do not listen to anyone else, ESL adults who had to pick up the language without help. Take a guess which one of the three he is.

Alex, I'll be forgoing your 3 options and asking instead "What is an obviously still using cocaine addict?"

He might have graduated from the rock to the powder, but at this rate he'll either be incarcerated or back to the rock soon.

What is with angry men and cocaine? It's like a chicken and egg problem.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hey now, I'm an angry man because of my horrible ADHD and my inability to just do things

I don't even like cocaine!

Sure!

I am on mobile but the url should fix itself.

Another running bit he does is...

Ok, so he calls it a 'special version' of Lauren Boebert's autobiography.

I think what this means its that the only editorializing is that he adds 'It was like a fairy tale.' at the end of all of the maybe couple of pages he reads, which presumably would not actually be in the actual book.

But you see, I cannot actually tell how much of the rest of what he is reading is direct from the book and hammed up for effect.

She comes across as having the writing ability of maybe an 8th grader... and the stories are so absolutely absurd... but the problem is that Lauren Boebert is so fucking absurd, I cannot reliably draw a line between what Boebert has written, and what Campbell is hamming up.

Its ... its like reading a diary of the villain from mean girls, except she's a hick, regularly does crimes, has the trashiest life imaginable, she has infinite self confidence and is somehow self aware but also not self aware at the same time.
