In lawsuits, as opposed to criminal procedures, the principle is [QUI TACET CONSENTIRE VIDETUR, translated as “he who is silent is taken to agree” or “silence implies/means consent.” Basically, if you don’t show up for court, don’t offer a defence, you automatically lose. ---

I’m sure Mr. Pillow is shuffling all his assets to off shore accounts. Whatever he has left anyway. It there a way to stop this in a civil suit ---

Kind of like Republicans complaining about how biased the Jan 6 Committee is, when they had plenty of opportunity to create and participate in a bipartisan commission. Remember: they are _always_ the victims. ---

Mike Lindell seems to be about equal level of moron as Alex Jones so I don’t expect a different outcome. They also seem to smoke a helluva lot of crack judging from their on-screen antics. ---

Doesn’t count until the money changes hands. These clowns are masters of putting things off until they die or the people they owe money to die. I want to see the Marshalls Office show up to Lindell’s house and kick him out, then auction off all his stuff like they used to do back in the 30s/40s. ---
