Mike Lindell’s behavior in deposition has earned him a motion for sanctions. See all of the exhibits in one cut.
I mean, he’s an extremist reich-winger, of course he’s not okay. Unfortunately very few of them manage to unfuck themselves, usually because they just don’t have the capacity to deal with a complex world
He’s probably thrilled that Lindell is destroying his defense, committing new offenses, and he doesn’t really care about being called an ‘ambulance chaser’ or ‘disgusting’ 50 times.
I imagine, if he dislikes Mike Pillow, he was ecstatic. This guy is digging himself a deeeep hole. Oh my his lawyer tells Mike to calm down and hour and half in. Oof.
For those who don’t know who that is, from Wikipedia:
Michael James Lindell, also known as the My Pillow Guy, is an American businessman, political activist, and conspiracy theorist. He is the founder and CEO of My Pillow, Inc., a pillow, bedding, and slipper manufacturing company.
Lindell is a prominent supporter of, and advisor to, former U.S. President Donald Trump. After Trump’s defeat in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Lindell played a significant role in supporting and financing Trump’s attempts to overturn the election result; he spread disproven conspiracy theories about widespread electoral fraud in that election. He has also been an active promoter of unproven medical treatments.
This was so much like the wrestling promos/interviews I watched long ago I kept seeing a stone faced Mean Gene Okerlund holding a mic up to Lindell. It has the same disjointed intensity. Surreal.
Yep, this is exactly the reaction of a cornered narcissist. The lawsuit, the deposition, the judge, the lawyer, they are all threatening the illusion that Mike is a great patriot CEO entrepreneur saving this country. The response is a deep, primal rage that he’s only barely containing.

Goddamn
It’s the crack talking!
This guy is obviously not well. I hope he can pull himself out of that hole.
This is him AFTER he got off drugs.
Allegedly

I have not sat through many depositions, but that deposing attorney is impressively calm.
I know probably most criminals aren’t thrilled with depositions, but the folks questioning these MAGAts probably deserve a medal.
At least one year free therapy. 😂
Rattling a dude like lindell is probably therapy in itself. I’d pay to have an opportunity to ruffle this guy’s feathers lol.
He’s probably thrilled that Lindell is destroying his defense, committing new offenses, and he doesn’t really care about being called an ‘ambulance chaser’ or ‘disgusting’ 50 times.
You didn’t get to the part where he outright started calling the lawyer an asshole, did you?
Morbid curiosity, but there’s only so much of this type of possession I can take. Imagine having to work for this egotistical fuck.
My favorite part is where the attorney asked him to list the other members of the ‘crime family’.
That was funny but ultimately probably irrelevant to the case except as it relates to giving a view into Lindell’s insanity.
my impression of how the attorney pointedly pursued that is that it was a new crime, or civil something.
Ya maybe new instance of defamation.
Yes. I hope this video becomes training for depositions. I know I would have difficulty staying calm and focused.
It’s part of his tactics. The calmer you are the crazier it makes the other guy look.
More than that, the more you’re not rattled by the angry name-calling, the deeper the other guy goes into it.
Most attorneys LOVE to give you plenty of rope to hang yourself with. Looks like Lindell did that in spades.
Oops all rope.
That rope would provide a more comfortable sleep than his pillows. (And a much LONGER one.)
Don’t forget lumpy.
WOAH it sounds like you don’t have a MyPillow®.
I wanted a strong drink after just sitting through the supercut, I can’t imagine how exhausting it must be for the lawyers on both sides.
The defence lawyer is going to need a whole case of the good stuff after that fiasco.
I imagine, if he dislikes Mike Pillow, he was ecstatic. This guy is digging himself a deeeep hole. Oh my his lawyer tells Mike to calm down and hour and half in. Oof.
For those who don’t know who that is, from Wikipedia:
“How do you sleep at night? You obviously don’t own a My Pillow.”
Wow, that was cringe.
“Use code DEPOSITION for 20% off a lumpy pillow”
Moral qualms about bringing a frivolous ambulance chasing lawsuit? Get a lumpy pillow and you’ll sleep better at night.
“No, I don’t own a bag of foam trash, actually.” I wish he said. Or “lumpy pillow”
This dude is crazy. Holy crap.
This man sat in the Oval fucking Office and…check notes…counseled the President of the United States domestic policy.
Lawyer just kept feeding him rope. This guy can’t stand a few seconds of silence.
This was so much like the wrestling promos/interviews I watched long ago I kept seeing a stone faced Mean Gene Okerlund holding a mic up to Lindell. It has the same disjointed intensity. Surreal.
It’s too bad Justin Roilland got canned, because this is prime for another Rick and Morty court transcript video:

Oh my god. This was amazing.
Narcissists don’t like being held to any standard.
Man is upset his privilege card isn’t working anymore.
Yep, this is exactly the reaction of a cornered narcissist. The lawsuit, the deposition, the judge, the lawyer, they are all threatening the illusion that Mike is a great patriot CEO entrepreneur saving this country. The response is a deep, primal rage that he’s only barely containing.
I watched a little bit. Just another bitch who is caught in a world of shit and there just aren’t enough my pillows to unfuck the situation.
Let them all eat shit.
Hopefully he’ll be biting those pillows soon
I don’t think that guy can feel his teeth.
I wish I had just a bit of whatever he’s on. Holy shit.
Crack. It’s crack.
I love the guy on Jimmy Kimmel who plays him in comedy sketches. Is it live, or is it Memorex?
