Twitter bans MyPillow corporate account after Mike Lindell uses it to circumvent personal Twitter ban

“Sock it to my pillow!”

“Verrrryyy Interesting”

It would appear that Mr. Pillow and Trump have already won the Fickle finger of fate award - Point out that something ominous or may happen in the future without determination or a specific time frame .

Flying Fickle Finger of Fate award.

I got a couple at Costco before I’d ever heard of Lindell. They’re not bad. Much better than feather pillows, but I think I prefer a solid block of memory foam.

I never bought a MyPillow (whatever your political beliefs they’re just overpriced) but I bought a similar pillow. It’s not bad. Now, reportedly the pillow I got is better because it has better-shaped filling, but whatever. It’s okay.

Like you, I prefer a solid memory foam. I’d bought the “not-my-pillow” to help with a neck/shoulder problem, and it helped, but a properly-shaped solid memory foam designed for side sleeping completely solved the problem.

You have to figure, his pillows have to be somewhat okay or he’d never have been successful. He was already running a successful business before hopping on the Trump Train. He didn’t make his money solely through grifting people (or inheritance) like Donny Bronzer.

I don’t exactly feel sorry for Lindell, but I do sometimes think about what he’s done to his public reputation.

Before all of this started, I would see his commercials pretty regularly. To the extent that I thought about him at all, it was as a typical TV commercial huckster. Sort of one step up from the local “wacky” used car guy who advertises after midnight on the cable channels. Strange, but mostly harmless.

Now I can’t think of him as anything other than a deranged idiot, raving about “packets” that will prove everything, just you wait, I’ll show them, I’ll show them all! In the abstract it’s sad to see someone fall so far, but he’s got only himself to blame for it.

Back in 2018 CBS Sunday Morning did a segment on Lindell where they pretty much portray him as a guy who came back from the brink and now uses his company to help other former addicts.

This is what is known in the business world as “not a good sign”.

And the “Finding Out” phase continues…

Agile financing!

And he’s still at it.

Paywalled. :frowning:

Not here. Daily Beast never has been, for me.

Here’s the Raw Story link:

Thank you! :+1:

Lindell’s face should be listed next to the dictionary definition of “loser”.

That spot’s taken.

I do wonder how many more additional defamation counts the various speakers are going to add to their existing lists. I’m positive a noticeable number of subscribers are sitting and waiting for their nutjobs to further incriminate themselves or otherwise provide proof that they’re still defaming their clients.

Holy Mother of God, Mikey wants to fly a hundred thousand drones over polling sites to sniff for Wi-Fi.

Jesus, the man is bananas!

Can you just picture the scene? I’m permanent vote by mail and have sometimes missed voting in person, but that would sure cure my nostalgia.

The man’s insane. But I have one question: what does the expression “he’s doing a 2000 mules” in the article refer to?

ETA: ok, sometimes I forget a little thing called “Google”, but now I know what it is. Just skimming the wiki article. They spread that ballots were carried by 2000 literal mules???

ETA2. ok ok, ignorance fought once more by wiki. I now know that “mules” are smugglers who carry their stuff inside their body. Almost as crazy as mules, the animals, though.

Maybe it was “Mules” riding on mules?

Now I can’t say mules anymore cause it sounds funny.
