Damn that's fucking hilarious
Not surprising. They eat their own the very moment it becomes advantageous to do so. There's no loyalty among thieves
Yeah I heard an interview with him. He basically said that Lindell's crazy was hurting Trump. 100% not joking
Eat shit Lindell. Sell some more pillows if you can. All you had to do was quietly be a millionaire selling cheap garbage pillows to idiots, but noooo you thought you could have an influence on a national scale and overthrow an election. Turns out you were wrong.
How did some fucking Shamwow Vince wannabe be fuck become such a big name in politics?
Same way "Joe the Plumber", Kim Davis, Kyle Rittenhouse, etc. GOP elevates their story to the national spotlight to "prove their point" and then leaves them out to dry after their 15 minutes of fame have been used up.
lol i forgot all about joe the plumber.
Smh, the man wasn't even a plumber.
Thinking he may have passed away.
Same way a wannabe mob boss reality star did,
Wait, I could have gotten $5 mil by proving him wrong?
Fuck, why did I have to learn about this AFTER the fact?
Dude still hasn't paid out after nearly 4 years.
How the fuck does the owner of a pillow company get so much press?
by being a cocaine fueled conspiracy monkey infront of cameras
I thought he smoked crack? I guess it's technically the same drug...
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Federal Judge orders MyPillow founder, Mike Lindell, to pay $5 million within 30 days for losing an election challenge. Lindell, known for denying the 2020 election results, had hosted a contest to prove his claims but lost. Despite Lindell's intention to appeal, he must pay up immediately. Lindell claims financial hardship, stating his company organized the event, not him personally, and he has minimal assets. The dispute arose when Lindell failed to provide promised evidence, leading to arbitration. While the judge expressed concerns about the arbitration panel's interpretation, he upheld the decision. Lindell's financial struggles extend beyond this case, including defamation lawsuits that drained his resources.
The original article contains 391 words, the summary contains 134 words. Saved 66%. I’m not a bot and I’m not open source!
Good bot!
LOL
That's a lot of shitty pillows!
be sure to call them lumpy pillows!
Looks like he's now finding out...
Why do all these genius millionaires/billionaires suddenly have no money when it comes to paying their court ordered punishments?
You don't get to hoard unreasonable amounts of wealth by being someone who pays others what they are due.
