Mike Lindell has always been a scumbag and this is right in character.
BTW, his pillows suck too.

If he was a good businessman he would make a deal with the federal prison system to buy his pillows. Without pardons from Trump there should be enough people behind bars to fill a couple of prisons.

He’s in on the government aid. He laid off people after getting the tax cut and was right in line for the PPP.

Additionally, Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow and a prominent supporter of the president, was granted $75,000 from the Department of Veterans Affairs to manufacture masks, and Zach Fuentes, the president’s former Deputy Chief of Staff, won a $3 million federal contract to supply masks to the Navajo Nation.

But he may have lied about that.

From what little I know about crack addiction, it seems a little hard to believe he founded and built a successful business while smoking crack in the bathroom.

I think most crack addicts lose pretty much everything before they begin to recover.

I kinda think it is part of his weird mythology. (bs sales pitch)

I don't know if you have any evidence, but what you suggest is very plausible. Crack addicts tend to be way to manic to do anything in an organized way. Heroine addicts tend to not have a lot of ambition and energy, and what they do have is mostly directed towards ensuring they don't get "sick". It hadn't occurred to me, and I wouldn't swear it to be true, but you could be right. The religious part goes with it. I'm in no way suggesting that being religious indicates an addictive personality, but an addictive personality is frequently drawn to religion. I'm not always the most articulate, I hope I didn't screw that up. Some use cocaine as a mild stimulant to help them achieve things, but crack is usually used chasing the rush.

I only watched the first 6 mins of his halting stuttering speech.

Seems like trump and his attorneys could tell Mike did not have crap for evidence, could see that he is a nut case, and they blew him off and sent him packing...

It was all based on pillow-talk.

He's also been a heroin addict. He's apparently clean for several years now. Apparently he's found a new addiction.

In a related vein, (groan) I understand that the FBI is vetting all 25,000 National Guard troops in DC due to a concern that trump supporting military may initiate an inside attack on the President-Elect and other democratic leaders.

I don't know whether what you say is true, but everything I have heard says that they currently are not "bulletless", so I have my doubts.

When his pillows first came out my wife felt we must have them. Well, 10 or so years later mine seems kinda lumpy.

Being from MN, I can see where you’d want to support a local business, but didn’t yours really last that long? BBB reports are saying a lot differently.

Crack is an almost instant addiction, a friend that recovered from his addiction told me that he was trying to repeat his first high but never succeed, he confessed that one day when he could not buy a few rocks, he found himself vacuuming his carpet in hope of finding one.
