Yes, but FWIW, My Pillow Corporation is named as a co-defendant in most - if not all\* - of the election-related lawsuits against Lindell, so he can’t hide his money there. - they were named in all the ones I checked, but I might have missed some. ---

We stopped at a restaurant in SC, back in March, and there were several TVs on the walls. One was apparently dedicated to the My Pillow channel - seriously, it was nonstop ads for the things. The sort of infomercial you normally see only at 3 AM. ---

I. Have. Never. Seen. A. MyPillow. Ad. Never seen or known about that idiot before. But like the rest of Trump supporters that crawled out from under their rocks, he’s now on my list of morons. I preaching to the choir I know, but If you ever wanted to really, really F up your life - total embarrassment, loose all respect, and your career, follow the Trump plan.

Of the things that could go wrong, one is that he could call the judge an asshole. I hope that goes wrong. ---

Sov Cit, I think. I just saw the photo I posted on social media without any context, and I thought it was hysterical. I imagine the judge has to keep leaving the room so I can either laugh his ass off or bang his head against the wall. My greatest hope is that someone convinces Trump this will work. ---

I usually watch SciFi Saturday night (don’t judge) and it’s been MyPillow intensive lately. From what I understand, his factory is selling off equipment and people are losing their jobs, as the company circles the drain. ---

They’re both so hard up for cash, I’m just waiting for the inevitable Mike Lindell/Rudy Giuliani reality TV show. It will be the worst cacophony of televised humiliation and despair that I will ever watch every minute of.
