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.
Is there a latin phrase for after you lose, when you lie on the floor pounding your feet, crying, “No fair, no fair NO FAIR!!” Because I predict that is going to happen.
Google Translate renders “clamorem infantem iactis tantrum” from “Cry baby throwing a tantrum”
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
He probably sees it as equivalent to the various folks who are refusing to cooperate with the January 6 committee.
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.
I’m reminded of Wanda Sykes’s comment on the parents of Jon-Benet Ramsey declining to be questioned by police: “I wasn’t aware that was an option “.
Alex Jones received some default judgements against him recently for refusing to cooperate.
So yeah, don’t just ignore the courts unless you don’t mind paying.
Particularly given how much Dominion is asking for.
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.
Here’s a dramatic representation of what such a thing may look like.
I see Donald as Lindell, coked out of his mind and incoherent.
Up for bid is lot #2345 - more pillows - thats right - MORE pillows.
What glue-huffing princess…
Hopefully by next week when the truckers have taken over Parliament Hill, the pillows should be arriving.
How does he think he’s going to get them there, until after the bridge blockades are ended?
Emergency airlift? If they could do it for West Berlin, they can do it for those brave (sic) truckers.
If only Lindell had been around then . . . think of how a decent night’s sleep on a good pillow would have made things different!
…and possibly more cocaine, pcp, and bath salts for the infrantrymen.
Then why can’t they just airlift all those billions of dollars of auto parts across the border along with?
Use your head, man - think of the weight difference. And getting a pillow dropped on you hurts a lot less then a random auto part.
