    The MyPillow CEO is re-purposing 75% of his business to help save lives.
    The blue check marks attack him
    Typical
    Giving Trump credit and mentioning God are big no-nos. Two of the biggest no-nos, probably.

    During Saturday's presser, Trump responded to an antagonistic question about governors who are supposedly complaining about the federal government's response.

    The Red portion is what CNN removed from the quote.

    "I want them to be appreciative. I don't want them to say things that aren't true. I want them to be appreciative. We've done a great job. [CUT] And I'm not talking about me; I'm talking about Mike Pence, the task force..i'm talking about FEMA, the Army Core of Engineers."

    During Sunday's presser, a reporter confronted Trump (antagonistically, per usual), about those comments. Trump immediately called the reporter on his bullshit, prompting the reporter to begrudgingly read the entire quote aloud. Trump clearly won the exchange.

    Later that night, CNN aired the exchange. They REMOVED the part where the reporter read Trump's entire quote aloud. They edited the exchange that clarified a quote they already edited a day prior.

    #EnemyofThePeople.

    i strongly dislike lindell, his pillows and his bullshit faith
    the way he dangles that cross out of his shirt w the usa flag and sell torn up pieces of foam in a pillow makes me cringe
    he's a classic snake oil huckster and he runs those gay commercials on high, although i never see them unless i'm at mom's house and even she mutes him
    his back story is hilarious and he's always seemed to be a parody of some bad comedy act to me
    and yet using his business this way is pretty incredible
    as far as evoking the lord thats his business and calling Trump the chosen one is a little bit too much imo
    in the end i would stand up and applaud the man
    i just better not start seeing a my pillow face mask ad "for the safest day in the whole wide world" w some shit about him traveling to Africa for the cotton
    "he i'm mike lindell the "inventor"of the my pillow face mask"
    i'd have to hunt him down i think

    random omission of facts is the same as lying

    that's some truly scary shit right there
    along w the fact they produce all the medicine and pretty much everything else
    i have no choice apparently but to take blood pressure meds now but beyond that i won't buy anything made in china, not even for my dogs
    not an easy thing to do at all but it can be done
    again the most perplexing thing that occurred in my lifetime was watching us turn China into the power they have become
    Nixon went over there and started the whole thing and then i think Bush Sr. was the first time i heard the word globalization
    used to think it was all a conspiracy theory but now its just so apparent the faceless elite orchestrated the entire debacle
    they handed over the controls to China
    must be supertankers full of cash flowing back to someone

    Lindell is right at the top of the "Annoying as Fuck" list.

    I truly admire his efforts during this time but fuck him and his Egyptian cotton. Supima cotton (grown right here in the Western US) is every bit as good as the Egyptian product. If you're going to wrap yourself in the flag, then support the people that produce goods in this country, not fucking Egypt.

    I don't know anything about this guy.
    The messenger might be everything you say he is but it doesn't change the message itself or his actions.
    He shut down operations to manufacturer masks and used his well-earned 30 seconds to give some solid advice.
    He would have been attacked by the Twitter mob whether he was a creepy snake oil salesman or not. It's the message they didn't like.

    Now I think you are just fucking with us.
    I expect better from you Doughty.
    Did you read past the second paragraph?
    I will start off with Coumos quote...

    "I've asked the state police to do an investigation, look at marketplaces that are selling masks etcetera, medical equipment, protective wear, playing into this [by] exploiting the anxiety."

    Matt Wolking, the Trump campaign's deputy director of communications, also linked to a March 3 article in the publication Modern Healthcare in which a doctor reported thefts from her hospital.

    Shira Doron, an infectious disease physician and hospital epidemiologist at Boston's Tufts Medical Center, told the publication her hospital had thefts of essential PPE including masks from areas in which lots of people pass through.
    People steal. In all walks of life.
    During crisis people that steal steal more.
    Looting food and supplies is not a crime during wartime or crisis.
    Selling and exploitatively is.
    Those type of laws go out the window in the face of reality.
    When people are hungry they steal a deer to eat it.
    And then the crown goes after them with the law for poaching the meat the crown believes it owns.

    People that steal are used to stealing consumable supplies from the workplace like if its a right.
    In a hospital the office supplies the workers steal are the PPE.
    Everyone in management knows this fact.
    And why they themselves are looking into it.
    Everything else is just feigned anger to work up the emotionally incontinent.
    Its a crime IMO to take advantage of people this way if you know better.
    Journalism is a criminal enterprise again.
    They are using their own form of victimizing the population with their lies in order to try and keep their own dishonored priesthood from falling into irrelevance.

    Fearmongering and Doomsaying has its consequences and you can't get away from them.
    Other than getting away from the fearmongerers and doomsayers.
    Its almost better to be around smelly fishmongers and praisesayers.
    Here is the thing about heroes...
    They don't EVER call themselves or even allow others to call them anything remotely like that.
    Much less be treated like heroes, aka entitled.
    That is why I doubt the stories coming from these journalists who chop up the quotes from the president... what would they be willing to do to the quotes of some innocent nurses who may have just been venting steam after a long shift of hard work?
    A warrior who comes home from the war and wants to get a job for himself cringes at the special treatment he is given and offered in order to work for a particular company.
    They can feel that sleaze a mile away.
    Every operator wants a good rifle and protective gear.
    And you can bitch to your mates about it.
    But not to the fucking reporter just there to stir shit up between you, your superiors, the enemy, and the village people.
    Then the reporter gets out of dodge.
    Because he's not dodger like the locals that bleed their blue blood, he just plays one on TV.

    he's an ex coke head that owned some bars and sold them off to go all in on his pillow scam
    imo he still drips of the kind of guy you run into at the local dive bar trying to fuck guys wives behind a vodka toddy
    i think he's totally full of shit
    but i am agreeing w you that his actions are exemplary and appear in the moment to be sincere
    i tend to trust my instinct and what i see but maybe i'm wrong in this case
    just seems like he's seizing an opportunity to look good and is getting paid for lost pillow money on the back end kind of deal
    i hope i'm wrong and its straight up altruism
    either way its the right thing to do atm and i do applaud that no matter what

    I guess hearing it from his mouth wasn't enough for you guys. Sounds pretty clear to me. He said it and you know damn well he knew NOTHING about what you have posted. I give up carry on.

    He said something wasn't adding up and that someone should look into it.
    Never made an accusation or reached for a conclusion.
    I really don't see it.

    The problem with what Trump said is that, intended or not, it comes off as a threat. With or without the second part.

    Knowing Trump, his history, and the reason he was impeached, it's not unreasonable to consider it a threat. It would be nice to have an adult in the White House who doesn't need people kissing his ass about everything. Some people don't think they've done a great job, it's subjective, oh well. What happens if "they" aren't appreciative? Is he going to give priority to those who are?

    lol with people lining up in stores to loot the toilet paper is it so hard to imagine that people w access to face masks might grab a few?
    everyone that ever worked anywhere took the pens and paper home at times
    you don't think janitors and low level employees, even nurses and doctors might be grabbing a few for panicked friends and family?
    i get that people don't like Trump but geezus its been 3.5 years of picking on every minute detail of everything he says and does!
    the impeachment process was a total joke and he was acquitted
    it also sets a precedent whereby whoever isn't in power can be shut down by partisan nonsense and the country gets forgotten in the process
    anyways its gonna be a cold day in hell when a doh biden can beat the man

    I would bet my life that the actual flow of supplies are not conditional.
    American lives are at stake and whether you think the best or worst of POTUS, there is no angle where allowing people to die plays to his desires or advantage.

    Maybe his language is too tough or his diction alarms people....
    (although this is arguable too, as Adam Shciff felt he had to make up bogus dialogue that never happened to make his point in regard to the impeachment you mentioned)
    ....but he's standing up for people who are working hard.
