My grandma has always told me, “If you’re gonna be stupid, you’ve gotta be tough.” It’s long been advice that I’ve taken to heart; anytime I consider doing something stupid, I always hear my grandmother’s words and think to myself, “Am I tough enough to deal with the possible consequences of what I’m about to do?”
I’m willing to bet dollars to donuts that MyPillow CEO and Trump-loving wackadoo Mike Lindell did not have a grandmother like mine. Or, if he did, he certainly didn’t take her sage advice.
The pillow salesman has made quite a name for himself over the past few years on the heels of now-disgraced ex-president, but probably not in the way he was hoping for.
Instead of becoming a beloved household name, Lindell has morphed into a household laughing stock as he continues to lead the charge on Right-wing conspiracy theory nutcases who believe that the 2020 presidential election was wrought with fraud that resulted in the presidency being stolen from Donald Trump — despite the fact that even a single ounce of proof has yet to be produced.

The MyPillow guy has taken things a step further still by peddling the idea that Donald will somehow be “reinstated” to the White House soon, though he keeps moving the goalpost on the exact date that’s supposed to take place.
Through Lindell’s numerous conspiracy theories, he has absolutely slandered numerous, legitimate companies, the main of which being Dominion Voting Systems — the company that Lindell falsely laid a majority of the election conspiracy theories blame on.
And now, Dominion is fighting back.
Dominion Voting System recently filed a defamation lawsuit against the MyPillow CEO for running their name through the mud with baseless, categorically false conspiracy theories. Today, Lindell got some really bad news when a Washington D.C. judge brutally smacked down his motion to dismiss the voting system company’s lawsuit against him.
As the news of the brutal ruling broke, Lindell happened to be neck-deep in his live event dubbed “Cyber Symposium,” where he was supposedly supposed to be exposing all the “voter fraud” he claims was involved in the 2020 presidential election.
A live stream of the event showed the MyPillow man abruptly getting up from his seat and scurrying off the stage within mere moments of the judge’s ruling.

Thus far, we are unable to verify with certainty whether or not Lindell’s hasty departure from the stage had anything to do with the news of the judge’s ruling. All we know is that the $1.3 billion that Dominion is suing him for is a hell of a lot of money, and he just lost a crucial step in avoiding that whopper of a fee.
