MyPillow Fight: Lindell Clashes With Newsmax Over Trump's 2020 Loss
Perhaps no one has tried to sell the 2020 lie that Trump won the election more than MyPillow CEO and Trump confidant Mike Lindell

Lol because they are facing a lawsuit that apparently has some real teeth to it and dip shit here won't stop with the exact kind of crap that got Newsmax into hot water in the first place. Peddling conspiracy bullshit becomes a whole lot less fun when there are actual consequences for it. 

Really tells you how much truth there is to something when you see how much $ someone is willing to put up.

Little by little many of the members of the bizarre "Trump Woorship Cult" are starting to learn that their actions have consequences!!!

First a lot of the violent pro-Trump terrorists who stormed the Capitol, murdered a policeman and severely wounded many others. The FBI has been serious about tracking them down...and many are being charged for the actual criminal offenses they've committed..

And now as a result of Fox news and several assorted trump supporters who have been spreading lies about about supposed Election Fraud are facing legal action.

Can you believe that some of those folks honestly didn't think there would be any consequences because 'the former occupant of the White House' told them to do it and that he would go with them?

Indeed.................very interesting

"Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere. We've got to get the children connected to their parents," Waters, who has called for Trump to be charged with premeditated murder , said in 2018."

They should be very careful about the whataboutisms esp with Marjorie's recent history of comments and stalking Hogg.

Didn't the House GOP just exonerate Greene for shit she said in 2018?

Does this fool have something against carrying a briefcase?  Now that I think about it, I've never seen Trump carry one.  He was always pulling 'important' documents out of his suit jacket pocket so he can wave them around to the media as proof of something or other.  I think it was Trevor Noah who said Trump was the only leader in the free world who could get hacked by a gust of wind.

He makes a good pillow, but he's lost his mind or something over this election.

Meanwhile, I don't see why Newsmax or any other network needs to read a disclaimer about his allegations. They're just interviewing the guy. His opinion is not automatically theirs. All they have to do is push back and ask for his evidence like any journalist should with anyone else making a claim.

Well, here's what their news person actually said.(Are you saying that this doesn't meet your criteria? And if not-- what do you think they should've said?

We at Newsmax have not been able to verify any of those allegations. We just want to let you know there's nothing substantive that we've seen.. The Election results in every state were certified and Newsmax accepts the results as legal and final. The courts have also supported that view.

Anyone care to bring the "Fairness Doctrine Act" back into existence?  (Regan killed it in 1987....)

Republicans won't like the act as operations like Fox, and Newsmax would be forced out of business as they would lose their viewership.

Smack it harder.....

Rush Limbaugh Show.
since August 1, 1988 (national) – present

Conservative talk radio  in the  United States  is a phenomenon that got its start in the 1980's when the  Fairness Doctrine  was allowed to expire under  President Reagan . This allowed broadcasters to present a political opinion, point of view, or pundit  without  being required to allow equal time for alternative views or rebuttal. At the same time, AM radio was languishing in the shadow of the higher quality sound of FM, with no remarkable content to attract listeners. [Note 1]

The  Telecommunications Act of 1996 12px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.pnghttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/24px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png 2x" >  severely weakened the regulations governing television and media ownership, facilitating the rise of large national networks that gobbled up hundreds of independent stations and smaller groups. As a result, the most popular conservative personalities such as Limbaugh,  Sean Hannity  and Mark Levin are heard in virtually every media market in the country.

Meanwhile, I don't see why Newsmax or any other network needs to read a disclaimer about his allegations.

Basically because they had been pushing the same bullshit he is spouting for awhile, specifically in regards to Dominion, right up until Dominion threatened them with a lawsuit. When that happened Newsmax's lawyers essentially told the ownership they need to backtrack ASAP because Dominion has a pretty strong case against them and could cause them serious financial harm. So when they bring on a guest who starts in with the exact things that got them in trouble in the first place, well it doesn't exactly help their upcoming court case.

All they have to do is push back and ask for his evidence like any journalist should with anyone else making a claim.

Their problem now is having guests come on and start with the nonsense their lawyers specifically told them to stop. The stuff that is likely to get them sued to begin with. It is hard to say "nah we didn't do anything to maliciously slander, damage, and otherwise financially harm the plaintiff (even though there is tons of evidence that we did), and we even cut it out once the plaintiff asked us to (ignore all the people we kept inviting that continued to push the bullshit)."

I was at a hotel one time and loved their pillows. Took the pillow out of the case to see what it was. Turned out to be expensive down pillows.

I broke down and bought some. Expensive but worth it.

Any foam pillows I have had always ended up flat.

I have been seeing this lavender infused memory foam pillow I was thinking about giving a try.

I hate getting stabbed.

I had to gut two or three sofa pillows and dumped the feathers in the trash.

They went everywhere.

I look down the yard and my ducks are backing up slowly, eyes wide in horror...looking for egress.

The ducks eventually came back ....      on trash day.

When that container was emptied and the feathers went everywhere again

it was like watching flamingos take off en masse, lol.

The ducks stayed at the lake for weeks, lol.

When I get stabbed, I pull the offending feather out. Eventually I need a new pillow.

Took my kids to see their grandparents w/o Mr Giggles and the Boy took his feather pillow. He was sitting in the front seat, got bored, and started mashing his pillow, punching it, and generally filled the entire car with feathers. His sister was pissed because he woke her up

I didn;t watch the video because I think SNL has lost its way since the 70s.

However, I notice the actor portraying Lindell is holding a My Pillow.

Some liberal forked out money for that (there are no conservatives on the show), thus, keeping him in business and his brand alive.

Also, referring him as the "My Pillow Guy" also keeps his brand alive.

Liberals just don't understand the damage they cause themselves, which leads to major ridicule.
