    Newsmax Anchor Begs Producers to ‘Get Out’ of Trainwreck Mike Lindell Interview (thedailybeast.com)

    This is razor's edge entertainment in a mentally disturbed kind of way. Here's a link to the video of the exchange, courtesy of Twitter. The video speaks for itself, but I'll quote the article as well.

    https://twitter.com/i/status/1356719881564086272

    A Newsmax interview with conspiracy-peddling MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell went completely off the rails on Tuesday when Lindell immediately began pushing baseless and debunked claims about Dominion Voting Systems, prompting anchor Bob Sellers and Heather Childers to repeatedly cut him off and Sellers to literally walk off the set.

    Lindell ostensibly appeared on the pro-Trump conservative network to discuss Twitter’s decision to permanently kick him off its platform for spreading election conspiracies. Earlier this week, Twitter also suspended his company’s account after Lindell tried to use it to get around his ban.

    After anchor Heather Childers asked him what happened to his Twitter account, Lindell—who is facing pending litigation from Dominion over his baseless voter fraud claims—quickly began spouting that he was banned because he has “100 percent proof” of all the “election fraud with these Dominion machines.”

    Sellers, obviously aware that his network has already received letters from Dominion lawyers warning of their intent to sue over Dominion lies, immediately interjected and cut off the ranting Lindell.

    Can somebody tell me what's going on here? What does it mean to be too toxic for Newsmax? Lindell is a mega-millionaire. He can't be stupid, so is he really crazy?

    He’s a former drug addict , who hit it lucky with a pillow business. I would give him the benefit of the doubt that he is both stupid and crazy. This is all part of Trumps trickle down stupidity administration.

    When you lie so brazenly that Newsmax anchors cannot stomach your televised interview long to stay in the chair until it ends, it really is a newsworthy moment.

    It looks like we can add Newsmax to the list of deep state agents trying to hide the truth

    Imagine that.

    Lindell (A Tinfoil Hat so Delusional that his family should have him committed) spewing so much BS, that even the people who disgrace themselves daily (by having any association with a Parody Network like Newsmax) were shocked.

    Wow. :smh:

    Reminds me of the best joke

    Two Trump supporters die and go to heaven. They meet God. One of them asks him, why did he allow the election to be rigged? God says to him, don’t worry the election wasn’t rigged. The guy looks at his friend and says, this goes even higher than we thought.:roflol:

    Dominion threatened to sue him and he said... "bring it on". They have yet to do it. Dude is either crazy, brave, or thinks he has something real. Dominion's whole system is ridiculous and I say that as a technologist. 1/2 my staff are very high end coders (C#, Java, HTML 5) and we had a talk one day about the capabilities of the software and why anyone would include them. The guys were like...... yeah super sketchy.

    He's a grifter. Just like his buddy. This is from 2017.

    MyPillow accreditation revoked by the Better Business Bureau (usatoday.com)

    BURNSVILLE, Minn. - The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has revoked the accreditation of Minnesota-based MyPillow, lowering its rating to an F based on a pattern of complaints by consumers.

    The BBB made the decision after reviewing MyPillow's ongoing "buy one get one free" offer, which violates the organization's code of advertising.

    BBB’s Code of Advertising requires that an offer need to be extended for a limited time, or it becomes a continuous offer and therefore the normal price of the product – not a sale price or free offer. In the case of MyPillow, the BBB says anyone can get the BOGO discount codes, and if a prospective customer calls the company without one, they can get the BOGO deal, regardless.


    Carnival level promotion. Lindell told the BBB to take a hike, which is his right, but what do we make of a college dropout turned alcoholic coke head turned saved by religion turned $300,000,000 and a pillow empire the BBB won't touch. Oh, followed by crazy Trump conspiracies 4 years later. Dominion is eyeing that $300 mil, and Lindell acts like he wants them to have it.

    What makes them high end coders in your book? Do you manage an IT team? Do you have a Scrum Master and Product Owner?

    What position did he have in the Trump administration? You would not be making that up would you?

    So every left wing loon rioter is now part of the Biden administration? Every black man who committed a felony a Biden administration member? Or perhaps you are not smart enough to understand the difference between a supporter and somebody who served in the administration.

    I have issues with all people who peddle their religion on their sleeve.

    My twin brother is a conservative Christian. When I asked him how some Lawyer down in Texas(Sidney Powell) would have all this inside information about voter machines he went ape.

    Of course she would not. Somebody can bring up irregularities in the voting in states that used Dominion but the accusation that dominion literally converted Trump votes to Biden votes is nonsense and it accomplishes nothing.

    Then my brother sends me through steam a link that shows how many votes were stolen in Dekalb county in Atlanta. I countered by proving to him that Biden got about the same percentage of the vote in that county that Hillary got in 2016.

    People need to move on.

    Because our company creates the custom What If Scenario software used in most the nation's nuclear plants and at some Top Secret DOE sites. We come in a do what the big guys fail from Geo-Visual, Project, Budget, Legacy Data solutions to What If Scenarios sun on other data sets that are integrated with ETL jobs that are automatically updated on a schedule so they can see the latest metrics and analytics as well. We have come in behind the bigs at Duke, Exelon, Entergy, Southern, and the DOE after terrible software attempt and data attempt failures. We are the "Best Practices" for the entire industry. We also own the most powerful algorithm allowing for 30,000+ activities on a Wall Chart (Gantt) with Critical Path, Work Groups, and a ton of other options allowing nuclear outages, submarine maintenace, plane builds, etc... to happen as absolutely efficiently as possible. Yeah... I could give a **** about Scrum. I have seen those teams fail where we do not.

    You have two choices about Lyndel as you laid out. Is he crazy or stupid.
    Answer : My opinion- anyone who believes QANON type crap has got to be somewhere on the crazy spectrum. By QANON type crap I include election fix fraud conspiracy belief.

    Look Lyndel, Greene, The Trumpocity, Trump base, can it be said that any of them are on the good part of the crazy spectrum.

    Lindell is simply stating the obvious, that there is ample evidence of election tampering.

    Even I, a person who does not care for Trump and never voted for him, can see that.

    The TV host was simply freaking out because the truth freaks him out, he cannot handle the truth.

    So what you got against a former drug addict(s)? Do they all fall under the same description too?

    I think it is generous to say the anchors couldn't stomach the interview content - more likely, they knew they were treading in legal waters as they have already been warned about being sued by Dominion.

    I wonder if Dominion will ever be able to prove its claims of being an innocent party?

    Assertions are one thing, proof is very much another thing.

    There are drug addicts that do rise above it. It’s a long proven fact that past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. I believe Lindells past abusive, destructive, disillusioned behavior is unfortunately now on full display as one of Trumps idiots.

    I question your beliefs! Sure wouldn't want you as my sponsor, I mean if I were to put it all behind me, start a business, hire a couple dozens of people and still draw criticism, damn!

    I guess if Lindell was to incorporate say flagellation in to his daily Serenity Prayer that might appease some on the left..

    This post needs some Beano.

    Did you watch the video? Lindell's sponsor must be Marjorie Taylor Greene. Not a pretty sight.

    I could care less about you questioning anything about me. You can have whoever you want sponsor you.


    If someone overcomes addiction and does good for themselves, then that’s great. If someone still does stupid crap then I’m not going to give them a pass because they are a former drug addict.
