Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"Cancel culture" lmao. Dude used his position as a pillow salesman to spread conspiracy theories and now has to bear the consequences.
"Let he who has not spread lies that instigated an attempted fascist coup throw the first pillow." -Jesus

I love how not ordering product from him is an "attack"
I learned a fun new word for it. It’s also called “capitalism”.
It's "free market", which is different from capitalism. Capitalism needs a free market to function fairly (and it's just a prerequisite, not a guarantee), but a free market doesn't need capitalism.

Lindell was ordered to pay $5 million to a man who won a “Prove Mike Wrong” contest at his 2021 “cyber-symposium” where he challenged experts to examine his data, which he claimed proved Donald Trump really won the 2020 election.
It didn’t, and one expert who looked at the data demanded the prize.
Lindell refused to pay, so the case went to court, where he lost.
🤣
What's even better is that the guy in question - Robert Zeidman - is, in fact a Trump supporter. But as a data analytics engineer, he wasn't able to fool himself with bullshit data.
Yeah I seem to remember an NPR interview he did where they gave him "the packets" they captured of a malicious actor communicating with voting equipment and the files were Word documents that somebody typed a bunch of gibberish into and renamed the file extension.
This doesn't surprise me at all. I'm an aerospace engineer and I know MAGA aerospace engineers and if Trump were to say something along the lines of "we're gonna cut the cost of designing an aircraft by loosening the safety requirements", they would be able to articulate exactly why we shouldn't do that. Their inability to translate that into things like deadly virus precautions is another matter but when they know he's wrong, they know.
It's just that so so so few of them could even pass a GED...
I learned there's an actual phenomenon called, Gell-Mann Amnesia, that speaks to this phenomenon.

Man, I wish I could say the same about medical device professionals. I left this job but I was a sr engineer under a manager who has been working in med devices for 30+ years.
Back when the whole hydroxychloroquine thing was being spouted by Trump, manager who has TONS of experience about why the FDA does testing and safety testing in medicine, would regularly tell us that we should demand our doctors give us hydroxychloroquine and we should take it along with multiple vitamin D pills a day, etc. he would tell us how he’d NEVER been sick despite us all knowing he was the type who came in constantly with a cough/sneeze fit.
He also had a bunch of idiotic takes on the 2016 election (I escaped before getting to hear his 2020 versions).
He was a shitty manager but the FDA thing was the one area where I was like “damn you’re even idiotic in our area of expertise”. He wasn’t the only one there who was a MAGA dope either unfortunately

I guess I will drink a Bud Light to celebrate.
Yeah, cancel culture was basically invented by the Christian right. Yet they have the audacity to complain about it!?
Their double standard is sickening.
"Projection"
Really funny how they always talk about cancle culture but they are always the ones calling for boycotting.
If they didn't have projection, hypocrisy, and a perpetual victim complex would they really be MAGA Republicans anymore?
It's unreal how the "Party of Personal Responsibility" is chock full of people who NEVER accept the consequences of their actions...

"Ya mean I can't just say whatever?" -Mike Lindell
Just remember. It's not a lie... if you believe it...
Who would have thought supporting a failed attempt at a dictatorship would be so unpopular?
Okay, I gotta ask this...
Does anyone else wonder why this guy sounds so incredibly constipated when he talks? It sounds like he's pushing soooo incredibly hard while trying to get the words out!
Resting cocaine voice.
When every word that comes out of your mouth is a lie, eventually you have to push harder and harder to get all the bullshit out.
Daaaa bears!

People who cry the loudest about cancel culture hate it because it works. Sorry. Maybe don't act like a clown and people won't shun you.
Bro, you used your pillow sales to try and incite insurrection on the thinnest of bullshit data. The fact that the vast majority of folks with sense thought maybe you shouldn't have pillow sales to fund terrible ideas anymore is kinda on you.

Actions have consequences. Go figure.
The correct response to this is:
Lol

If those computers that he's selling have hard drives in them, I'd be shocked if you couldn't recover something wild
Something something hunters penis
Mike is so cooked, lol
“Welp maybe a little cocaine will make me feel better.”
A lot of cocaine might.
