  • Mike Lindell fled the stage at his cyber symposium at the same time news broke that Dominion's defamation lawsuit against him is going forward.

  • A federal judge denied Lindell's bid to dismiss the voting machine maker's $1.3 billion lawsuit.

  • Lindell is holding a 72-hour event in South Dakota to prove his election conspiracy theories.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell   was seen dashing off the stage at his cyber symposium at the same time news broke that the $1.3 billion defamation suit filed against him by   Dominion Voting Systems   will go ahead.

Lindell attempted to have   this   defamation   lawsuit   against him dismissed   during a hearing in June . But US District Judge Carl J. Nichols on August 11 ruled that the three defamation lawsuits against Lindell and Trump lawyers   Sidney Powell   and   Rudy Giuliani , which are seeking more than a billion dollars in damages from each party, are slated to proceed in full.

Nichols   noted   in his judgment that the First Amendment offers "no blanket immunity" to Lindell in the Dominion lawsuit. The company alleges it was defamed by Lindell's false claims that it rigged the election against Trump.

The judgment comes one day after   Dominion filed lawsuits   accusing right-wing media networks One America News and Newsmax of pushing false theories about the election.

Lindell is currently hosting a   marathon 72-hour cyber symposium   in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, from August 10 to August 12   in a bid to prove his election conspiracy theories.

After news that his attempt to have the lawsuit dismissed came out at around 6 p.m. on August 11, Lindell was seen on video getting off his seat and rushing off-stage abruptly, disappearing behind a dark curtain.


At press time, Lindell had not returned to the stage, and the live stream  of the cyber symposium was replaced by a video reel showing news articles touting voter fraud claims next to an image of Lindell hugging a pillow.

Lindell told attendees on August 11 that he intended to stay on stage for three days straight.

"We're not going on a break," Lindell said. "You guys can go eat. That's fine, but I ain't eating! I'm staying up here for 72 hours."


Zachary Petrizzo, a journalist from news outlet Salon who was covering the event, noted that Lindell was talking to a mostly empty hall on day two of the conference.




Insider has reached out to Mike Lindell for comment.

He is determined to go broke.

I think he’s going to need everybody on the planet to purchase two pillows to cover the damages he’s about to incur.

Prior to the asshat running off the stage his "computer expert" Spider, confirmed they have no real proof of Chinese vote hacking. The data was supplied by a guy named Montgomery who's own lawyer called a conman. This Montgomery is reported to have "suffered a stroke" just prior to the event starting and is not available for comment. So far all anyone actually got to see was scrolling crap across the big screen that was supposed to be capture packet data, but was NOT capture packet data. It was garbage according to multiple reports I read online the last two days. Some of those reports were right wing sources too so it's not a partisan effort to discredit Lindell. As one source put it - it's con men conning con men.

So he was going to stay on the stage for 72 hours and not even take a break for a meal. AND he was talking to a nearly empty hall on the second day. Could this man get any more ridiculous?

I had to laugh. Some kind of fringe 'news' organization was there discussing it, I guess covering the event. They had three people there...

TruNews had the funds to send a team to South Dakota to cover Mike Lindell's "cyber symposium," but not enough money to get everyone their own microphone?
 A woman in the middle of two men was holding the microphone for all of them...
Smh...

What really classifies you as a senior is when you cannot walk past a bathroom without dropping in for a visit.

He wasn't attacked by anti-fa

Well, its possible he was attacked by his lover...i.e. the actual Pillow itself!

It viciously turned on him!

(And it appears that he has a term of endearment he uses when referring to his favouite pillow-- he has secretly named his true love...Anti-fa!

A day or two ago something was seeded that showed Mike Lindell with a 53% favorable approval rating from Republicans. 

That is the scary thing.  You can be the biggest fuck up politics has ever seen but if you do it on behalf of Trumpism they will love you.
