Ah, Karma...thou art a fickle- but just- judge of human foolishness

Mike Lindell is like the class bully who's finally getting his comeuppance and can't believe he's being held accountable for his actions

And when we say “really worked out for you,” it’s not meant in a good way.

I considered sex work, but then I bent over and looked at my asshole in a mirror. Nobody was going to pay me for access to that thing.

Mike Lindell should be the butt of every joke associated with Trump worship. His is a tale of bully worship gone horribly wrong. He was so far up Trump’s backside that his view was obstructed by the darkness and offal that surrounded him. He couldn’t see Orange Jesus for the racist carnival barker he is, and so the Minnesota pillow magnate poured millions of his own money into worshipping his own personal orange idol.

Lindell is proof of the theorem that every Donald Trump touches turns to shit.

In Lindell’s case, he has only himself to blame as he continues to spread lies and ridiculous, unproven conspiracy theories about the 2020 Presidential election. Even though neither he nor anyone else on Trump’s side has produced evidence that would prove substantial fraud, Lindell continues flogging the tired, careworn, unproven, and unprovable claims.

Because of his continued insistence that the election was stolen, Lindell has paid a considerable personal and financial toll…because you can bet that Donald Trump isn’t reimbursing him for losses incurred. Trump hates losers…and Mike Lindell is the very definition of loser.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who owes millions of dollars in legal fees after spreading lies about the 2020 election results, is apparently behind on his advertising bill and won’t be able to shill his pillows on Fox News until he settles up.

Lindell said in a video posted to X on Friday that Fox “canceled” MyPillow commercials without explanation. He then speculated that it’s because “they don’t want my face even on the network leading up to the 2024 election,” or because his online show hired Lou Dobbs, the former Fox Business host who landed the network in hot water after promoting spurious conspiracy theories about voter fraud in the 2020 election.

In April of last year, Fox settled with Dominion Voting Systems in its defamation lawsuit over false election claims made by Dobbs and other hosts. The network ended Dobbs’ show in February 2021.

True to form, Lindell is painting his dispute with Fox News as the network “canceling” him and removing his voice from the public discourse. It’s the whine typically heard from White Conservative Christian Cisgender Heterosexuals when they’re shut down for legitimate reasons but can’t admit it.

In this case, it’s that Lindell isn’t paying his bills.

“I believe this is all about stopping me from talking about the election platforms and the elections, and this — just getting rid of my voice,” Lindell said.

Remember when the GOP used to be the Party of Personal Responsibility ©? Of course, “personal responsibility” was only meant to apply when they were talking about OTHERS, particularly Democrats. It wasn’t supposed to apply to good, God-fearing, White Conservative Christian Cisgender Heterosexuals like Mike Lindell…until it did.

Fox, however, characterized it as a matter of business. “As soon as their account is paid, we would be happy to accept their advertising,” Fox spokesperson Irena Briganti told The Associated Press.

The Washington Post also cited an unnamed source who said Lindell has not paid his bills for MyPillow ads since August. And although Lindell told the Post that he paid “$4 million for ads in December alone,” its source said that payment was for commercials that aired in June and July.

Lindell conceded to the AP that he owes Fox millions of dollars but insisted that it’s within his credit line.

Stupidly (and that’s putting it mildly), Lindell used his own fortune in the 2020 Presidential election. Excellent return on investment, eh? It isn’t easy to know what he expected to receive in return or whether Lindell was merely a not-very-bright, all-in member of Cult45.

Of course, Mike Lindell isn’t the only prominent Conservative to throw his lot in with Orange Jesus, just perhaps the most ignorant and incautious one. With his My Pillow line of products made in my home state of Minnesota, Lindell had proven himself a smart (or at least successful) businessman…until Donald Trump came into his life.

Due to some seriously ill-advised decisions regarding his chasing down lies, rumors, and innuendo regarding the 2020 Presidential election, Lindell is facing some serious potential consequences as lawsuits against him continue to come thick and fast.

Meanwhile, Lindell will have to find another platform to market his wares. In his video on Friday, he pleaded: “Please help us and support us during this time of cancellation.”

During this time of cancellation? What’s next, going on the Christian Broadcast Network and imploring his fellow Christians for assistance?

Aw, gee, Mike…cry me a frickin’ river, willya? You’re not being canceled; you’re facing the consequences of your actions and some incredibly stupid and ill-advised decisions. If you had any self-awareness, you’d understand that you have only yourself to blame for the circumstances you find yourself in.

You’re the one who decided to tug on Superman’s cape and follow Orange Jesus as if he were the Messiah.

You’re the one who decided to throw your money into the bottomless pit that was Trump’s campaign.

You’re the one who’s continued chasing the illusion that is the “STOP THE STEAL!” madness from the 2020 Presidential campaign.

And, yes, you’re the one who’s defamed companies like Dominion Voting Systems and is settling lawsuits for ungodly sums of money.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed, are ya, Mike? How much of your lawsuit settlements is Donald Trump paying for you? I’m guessing probably nothing, right? So…remind me why you supported him so fervently. It couldn’t have been because you were such tight friends; Trump has no friends. All of his relationships are transactional; he has only people he uses and then discards when they’re no longer of value to him.

He’s probably done with you and has been for a long time…because Mike Lindell is a loser.

Hey, Mike…where’s your Orange Jesus now? Did you think the man you thought would save America would also take you with him to the White House? Because it certainly looks like he left you holding the bag.

Karma’s a bitch…but the schadenfreude on my end is sweet.
