Why is he still in the news?
People cant stop looking at an on going train wreck
Sure, and the promo was 14.98 first and was then changed to 14.88 after 12 days by accident? All just happenstance?
I won't detail everything again here, please let me refer you to my comment from when the story broke:
ignorant of many things he is yes. but familiarity with fascist nazism isnt one of them
"Now check out our new novelty shaped bed, the Swasleeper!"
Not gonna lie, at least when it comes to the back and foot board a swatstika would make a pretty solid shape for a quad person bed. Put a bed in the void area between the arms.
I do not know why my brain thought of this but the swastibed crawled up from the same part of my consciousness that tells me to mix Mayonnaise and Yogurt. So yeah take that as you will.
Yoyonnaise is great for food that keeps coming back up
Bull-fuckin'-shit.
MeinPillow
He might as well be walking around with a Hitler mustache claiming ignorance. I could totally see him doing that.
had to do it. it's all I could see from the photo in the article.
Mike Lindell did a Nazi dog whistle, not surprised.
Mike Lindell claimed he had no idea about how super Nazi it was: not surprised.
It’s amazing how this guy managed to basically throw away everything he had accomplished for a grifter who doesn’t even give two shits about him.
Very on script for an addict
Maybe though I don’t like using someone’s addiction to poke fun. He did a really good job of overcoming it originally and then pissed it all away like so many other’s left in Trump’s wake.
I doubt he personally is setting those prices.
Which means he's got at least one neo-nazi on staff.
He's credibly stupid enough to not have known.
And plenty MAGA asshole enough to have hired a neo-nazi to set sale pricing.
I don't think he's stupid enough not to know what those numbers mean. The crowds he hangs out with, there is zero doubt he has seen those tattoos on more than a few faces in the MAGA crowds.
I don't necessarily think he was even aware of the price tag, or thought about a proposed sale enough to notice. I think the chances this was one of his nazi employees is higher than him setting his own sales price himself.
He doesn't seem to be coherent enough to be running day to day things like that, when his focus is getting in front of any camera willing to record him.
You don't have to be smart to put two numbers in your price like that, just a nazi.
