(23,975 posts)Some years ago, during my husband's last Air Force assignment at what is now Joint Base Andrews, we had a neighbor who gave us concerns for his own safety, and the safety of his 2 young children - divorced custodial father. He was friendly and talkative - very talkative. Sometimes he had pressured speech, and he often talked about various things he had done in his Air Force career that seemed highly unlikely, including being a spy. He was on the younger side, maybe mid-30s, and not a high ranking officer, and didn't seem either old enough or senior enough to have done all the things he claimed to have done. He had guns in his home, IIRC.
One evening, he came over to out house and knocked on our door, all excited, claiming that, "I've finally figured out the Ethos." He showed me a very elaborate drawing that was a lot like Pillow Guy's white board, altho a lot smaller - 11x17. Rather than ethos, I think he meant cosmos. He rambled on and on and on. I'm a pediatric nurse practitioner, not a psychiatric nurse, but my clinical alarm bells were ringing and I was pretty damn sure he was in a severe manic phase.
I was in the Air Force myself for a while. We knew what squadron he was assigned to, so I took it upon myself to call his commander and share my observations. The officer thanked me for contacting him, and said they knew something was wrong, but weren't sure what, and that my information would help them get him the care he needed.
It was very a very strange experience.

I stopped buying it once they started watering it down. And it's not cheap.

(20,185 posts)You're right. It isn't cheap. It's still run by the Bronner family. They're big supporters of legalizing cannabis and psychedelics.

(63,221 posts)It used to be much thicker and had some body to it, but the last few times I bought it, it was only slightly more viscous than water and just didn't seem to lather up the same way.

Next comment, does anyone have the stomach to go through that gibberish to lust every name and identify every connection? Or do you think the NYT already has that under way?

(1,896 posts)I've proven with geometric logic that it was YOU, yes you, in the library with a candlestick. Oh, you wanted us to believe that it was Professor Plum or Miss Scarlet with the clever plant of the lead pipe in the conservatory, but no it was you all along, imagine thinking that you could fool someone with my keen senses. It was no use, you couldn't fool me, I've been in prison with meth heads and crack heads and know just how the criminal mind works. Just when you thought you had gotten away with everything, you never counted on someone of MY intellect getting on this case-a day you will rue for the rest of your life. Now if only someone, anyone would listen to me. Ahh, ha ha ha ha.....

(14,490 posts)Just a bunch of made-up bullshit to keep our nation divided, confused and distracted from real issues. I believe much of this is planned and orchestrated behind a high-level right-wing curtain by groups of very evil players in think tanks and advocacy groups that pass this crap down to the faithful messengers like Lindell and Faux News.
Same tactics used during all Republican administrations and Congressional majorities and in their vast media operations. Remember that W's people said "we create our own reality".
Regardless, their objective has always been to diminish the influence and benefit of our government to nearly zero and thereafter hand it all over to corporations and the ultra-wealthy. However, they know they must keep the public distracted with bullshit while they, like a slow-growing cancer, eat way at our democracy.

(11,563 posts)On his way home from work, the loon followed him for ages, inches off his rear bumper, and as my friend neared home, he realized he couldn't go there, for obvious reasons. As he sat at a curb, wondering what to do, the loon had apparently lost interest, because he pulled out from the curb, button-hooked so he was perpendicular to the street and broadsided a parked car as hard as possible.
As he was driving a decommissioned police car, it had plenty of power, and pushed the formerly very nice car onto the curb, across the boulevard and semi-crushed it against a stone retaining wall.
An elderly lady had seen the mayhem and started yelling at the guy. Faster than my friend could react, the guy jumped out of the car and beat the living daylights out of the poor old lady. Apparently, someone had called 911, because the cops arrived right about then. (no cell phones in those days). When the guy was cuffed and on his way to wherever they took him the police checked out his car. Here is the point of this bizarre little story.
Inside the trunk, in tiny letters made with a Sharpie or equivalent, the loon had written as much of the New Testament as could be fit on the painted surfaces, which was quite a lot. This anecdote popped into my head IMMEDIATELY upon seeing that word salad.

(14,173 posts)Lindell has other problems of narcissism and ignorance, but its pretty clear he also is maybe the only one of Trump's sycophants that truly believes the windmill he is fighting is a real injustice.
