'I'm in ruins,' teary Mike Lindell tells judge in Smartmatic sanctions hearing

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/im-ruins-teary-mike-lindell-tells-judge-smartmatic/story?id=120887538

We all know he's bullshitting about the $50k. Judge should offer indentured servitude instead and let's see going that $50k comes out.

"Nobody will lend me any money anymore," Lindell claimed. 🥹

There was a time in 2014 I think that MyPillow had no political leanings. It was just that pillow you saw at 3am when infomercials came on.

I almost bought one. It seemed like a decent pillow. I don't know why I didn't buy one, but I was close. Then I get distracted for 2 years. Then he gets assosiated with trump, and now I'm glad I didn't buy one.

I don't know the CEO of coca-cola. I don't know their political dealings. But if coke came out and said "FUCK THE MEXICANS! BUILD A WALL!!! VACINES ARE A HOAX!!!" I would cease buying coke.

I'm sure the ceo probably is republican. But do you notice how coke has no political affiliation? Coke has smart marketing and business sense. You come out as republican, lose half the countries sales. Come out as democrat, lose half the countries sales. Stay annonomous? Nobodys offended and you can keep putting that white polar bear and santa on your cans at christmas time.

Which....by the way. When you think of the north pole, why is coke the only ones who show that polar bears are native to the north pole? I mean, I know it's a fictional place, but it just seems logical that polar bears would live on the north pole.

Same is happening to Tesla right now. Maybe even to Starlink, as other companies plan to offer European altrrnatives. People who thought about buying the product are "ew, it's from the nazi man" now.

I believe My Pillow was a product that did a lot of advertising on AM talk radio. That might have been a clue. My mom tried one and said it was hard as a rock. She tried a softer version, and she didn't like that one either. It's basically just memory foam that's shredded into small pieces inside the pillow.

There comes a time when saying "no thanks" is a necessary political choice. Coke gave trump the commemorative inauguration bottle as usual and supports his diet Coke button reinstalled at the white house. By not starting to step back on some things, I'm buying less and less coke. Any time I can avoid coke without drinking the swill from PepsiCo, I do. But that time may also soon come to an end.

What do you mean coke are "the only ones" who show polar bears live at the north pole?

Oh look it's the guy who promoted his pillows at 14.88 USD and various other dogwhistle prices.

I hope he dies in his self inflicted poverty. And preferably soon.

I saw some clearance products at a store marked down to that price. It made me wonder.

He claimed he has "nothing" except for two houses, which he claimed are in the process of being liquidated, and a truck.

Motherfucker owning multiple houses crying about how he has "nothing". Fucking hell. But I guess if they're being liquidated he should have the funds to pay his fine pretty soon, right? Right?

One more life ruined in ruined serving Trump. No sympathy for Lindell, he went from gullible rube to gleeful collaborator. But I'll never stop being amazed at how many tourched their life in order to "protect" Trump.

he should count himself lucky. as the French would tell you, crying is something that only people who still have their heads attached to their body can do.

I bet the head can still cry for a few seconds after being removed, but we'll have to do a lot of experiments to be sure.

As a former small business owner...the ERC didn't need to be paid back, unless it was obtained through fraud.

It sounds like he fucked up again.

normalexit@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Trump will certainly write this man a fat check for being his number one election denier through thick and (now) thin. It's probably in the mail. If Trump is anything, he is loyal to his people.

AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 1y

Haha, that's the funniest part, I think he banked on Trump helping him and Trump DGAF. My guess is he feels worse about that abandonment than any other shit he's done.
