Mike Pillow should've stuck to pillows and forgotten about overthrowing the U.S. government.
Where's your ambition? Have you never heard of multitasking? 😅😅😅😉
I think he was following Jesus' orders; he really had no choice.
@@mondoseguendo6113 Jesus picked Lindell to give orders to? LOL Jesus is an idiot.
@@mondoseguendo6113 Guess what. It wasn't Jesus' orders he was following at all :) . We're keeping a warm place ready for Lindell and trump down here!
lol. yeah. Good one.
I don’t feel sad for him. I feel sad for workers who are losing their jobs because of his insanity.
Well, truthfully... If they were smart, they'd have been looking for other jobs while still cashing Mike Pillow's paychecks.
Lindell is more of a PSYCHOPATH than an Idiot.... although he qualifies for both.🤘🇦🇺
I feel sad for them too, as long as they didn't share his views.
This. My understanding is that employees are allowed to buy into the company, which makes it even worse. Not sure how many did though.
@@PhilAndersonOutside That'd be horrible if their loudmouth boss killed the company after taking the workers' money. But, hey. they should have shut him up before he put their ownership shares in jeopardy.
I'm less moved by Lindell's personal problems than by the horrific damage he has done to the country.
Trump is pure mind-cancer but Lindell afflicts people with brain rot.
We all are... but we need to understand the people affected by this plague, because they keep coming. Just like school shooters and phony CEOs and grifting politicians. *Something* is causing this, and we're going to need to delve into uncomfortable personal stories to figure out what it is.
As a Minnesotan I feel bad for his employees, and the community. I remember Lindell personally going to tradeshows and local fairs to sell his pillows, I bought one directly from him and he was such a happy jolly guy. It pisses me off he went down this dark path when he could have focused on making his community even better.
It’s ironic that Lindell’s crusade against all machines involves auctioning off his pillow factory machines.
Good one!
Well, he did say _all_ machines.
He's just keeping his word.
Does his machines have chips too?
@@jerryrobinson7856call Pillow and ask him. I’m sure he’ll know if they are “rigged “. Just can’t accept the truth. SMH
It's cover, he's really melting them down and turning them into bars.
And the Lesson to learn here is kids:
"kissing trump's behind does NOT pay"
He was a true American success story. It's sad to see him betray the country that made his success possible.
Just goes to show, figuratively speaking, that the country that gives can also take away
Can't say I'm happy about it. I never like to see American businesses fail, but Mike brought this upon himself. Decisions and actions have consequences.
Can you say that everything looked legit? I mean had it been Republicans doing some of same things?
If the guy ends up a pauper, then it would be true justice. His continual lies have caused so much harm to this country.
So true. Hope to see him on Skid row panhandling out of a cardboard box. 😫😂
@@AlexDeLarge2022 The results of karma can be harsh, especially if there is no remorse.
@@AlexDeLarge2022 Panhandling out of a pillow fort (lots and lots of unsold pillows).
@@MrHaighahatta
🤣 Like Peter Griffin's pillow fort? 🤣
@@ilaannwhite3094
No remorse whatsoever. That pillow pushing imbecile, Mike Swindell is still pushing his voter fraud claims. Some people never learn. 🙄
Everybody that attached themselves to trump, eventually goes broke, or ends up in jail.
Except Trump
Truth. A good read on this fact is {The Big Cheat: How Donald Trump Fleeced America and Enriched Himself and His Family} by David Cay Johnston.
And it's so ENJOYABLE to watch after we had to put up with Trump as president. You know, if Mike Lindell would have listened to us, he wouldn't be in this situation.
So true.
Because they go nutso. The GOP keeps him at arms length until they need him to rally for them or they need to invoke his name. It's like Lindell and Giuliani stayed too long in trump's orbit and flew off into the stratosphere.
I feel sorry for the people at his factories,him he deserves everything that happens.
And they don’t. Just him.
I am sad only for his employees who had no say in his behavior. I remember years ago, before Trump was ever a thing, that I bought a My Pillow because I liked his hiring practices and I liked how he treated his employees, but now he has ruined their lives
"A multi year campaign against logic and reason." Great stuff, David.
😀
And "it seems now the machines have turned on him and ... are no longer making pillows". Some good zingers today.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk could go the same way. Watch this space
@@andrewtaynton3402 Yep. Sure looks like the tea-leaves are starting to point that way.
Maybe Mar-R-Lago can buy some?
Good riddance .those poor employees
The employees had 2 1/2 years to realize their CEO is batshit insane and find another job.
Zero sympathy.
Luckily, the manufacturing sector is doing sufficiently well that these employees may just find jobs elsewhere 😊
Karma is a b..... I do feel for the employees though.
David, I’m laughing through my tears. Mike Lindell’s life is the perfect tragicomedy.
The South Park guys next play. Mike Pillow, super hero.
MyPillow employees were screwed years ago when Lindell jumped on the Trumptanic. We could all see it. It was only a matter of time.
"Trumptanic"! Made my day!
Trunptanic🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trumptanic lmao
It was my hope that Dominion, after winning their defamation suit against Lindell, would take over the company and retain the employees who (I assume) are innocent of Lindell's madness.
Trumptanic --- I love it. I might just steal it
As a Minnesotan I hate to see businesses in my state fall on hard times and jobs being lost. However as an American I want to see this traitor lose everything for what he has done. I've boycotted regional retailers like Menards because they sell his products.
I thought that all major retailers stopped selling MyPillow items and that all his physical stores closed down, my job here in florida got rid of all MyPillow merchandise after the 2020 election
Yeah but they give 11% cash back. Just saying.
As a Minnesotan, I strongly agree with you! 👍🏽
@@rogersmith7396 there is a video where the dogs wouldn’t sleep on “my pillows”.
@@thetruthhurtsu youbetjaa
It's ALL a Pillow ACT. Lindell is preparing to claim he's broke when he loses to the Smartmatic lawsuit.
He better come up with 5 million for that guy that proved him wrong
When you LIE your business DIES.
Good phrase
Hope he isn't waiting for Trump to bail him out.
you push the lies, your business dies? It’s a truer rhyme…
@@cleverlilvixen You are correct. If I may, with your permission, when needed, I will use that phrase.
@@sim1manson1 👏👏 permission granted! 👍
The only people I feel bad for are the Mypillow employees who are losing their jobs. Those close to Lindell have had numerous chances to intervene and get him help but they didn't.
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it get therapy for its mental health problems
They knew they were working for a madman.
Everywhere is hiring. They will be ok as long as they are willing to work for someone other than a trump ass kisser.
No sympathy for them. I would never work for such a delusional lunatic pushing insane conspiracy theories. What did they expect?
@@rogersmith7396 they see him every day
honestly my first thought is one of sadness/concern for the people who had jobs making pillows who no longer do... because their boss is a lunatic
This is what happens when you attach your business to a social political situation
What's sad is that a man who over came a drug addiction and created a successful business destroyed all of it over his obsession with the 2020 election.
I WISH I could pity Lindell, but I DO NOT! I FEEL SORRY FOR WORKERS WHO MADE THIS NITWIT WEALTHY ENOUGH TO "hitch his star" to the "S.S. Trump"!
@@johnmaki3046 S.S. Trumptanic?
@@luke_skywanker7643 WHAT ELSE could the "SINKING SHIP" be "addressed as"?!
He just traded one addiction for another
he got used!
Why can't people turn on Trump like this???
You said it perfectly....Pillow is suffering (he should) and Trump isn't?????
@@patcavasin5947 Which makes it even more funny to me. It's extremely well deserved -- especially after they made us watch this freaky Trump show.
Agree, they re "pretend scared" to do so. They need a stooge to hide behind.
Because trumpies business, like ivanka, is in china… with chinese bank accounts ofc.
Some companies has stop carry Trumps merchandise, such as his cheap suits.
It only makes me sad for his employees that are presumably losing their jobs.
It makes me happy that Mike Lindell has consequences. It makes me sad for his employees.
Imagine just deciding to devote your whole life and existence to the pursuit of fraud and accepting losing all your wealth to gain nothing but infamy, shame, and defeat.
I am sure he can give a very long and rambling explanation of the forces of evil pitted against his pure intentions that are causing his misfortune.
I'm sure he would be a “General”- definitely something in it for him even if that includes feeding his Narcissism & attention supply
His billionaire bestie can't bail him out? Isn't he going to be reinstated any day now, thanks to Pillow? How about do a friend a favour Donald?
Yea but he got to have McDonald's with the slob
Devoted his life and existence to the pursuit of fraud in the market place (his pillows suck) and became rich.
Then devoted his life and existence to the pursuit of fraud in politics and lost it all.
And he hasn’t even got to court for the Dominion lawsuit yet. He’s still got some way to fall.
He won't pay them either. Just like the man that disproved his election data...Mike didn't pay him at the competition nor has he paid after losing the lawsuit. He is like his hero the orange man, used people and never pays anyone
It’s sad for the workers in the company and the town that serviced the Mypillow factory.
It's sad. This man pulled himself up from the brink only to go out like this.😢
He found a new drug that took him down.
Couldn't happen to a better person!!! He earned every bit of it!
TOO BAD WORKERS ARE THE ULTIMATE VICTIMS!
Well, Mike Pillow, actions have consequences! And that has nothing to do with cancel culture.
Maybe Tesla will be next. I would be wary of owning Tesla stocks when the CEO spouts looney things on social media.
@@andrewtaynton3402 I feel the same way. Not gonna' buy a Tesla until I've seen them proven for a couple more years.
The saying “You reap what you sow”, is very appropriate here. Also “he made his bed, now he has to sleep on his own pillow!” 😂
It is sad in the fact that it takes years of hard work and long hours to establish a successful business.Too bad for him that he made the choices he did,no one else to blame here. Do feel sorry for all the employees that now will be left jobless.
Thoughts and prayers…
😆💀
He gets what he gives ;)
For who.. Mike?? Really?
@@-majadebijna3292 you're not getting it 😄
1 like = 1 machine banned
Honestly this makes me happy, not because I have some morbid enjoyment from watching someone completely destroy their life, but because it's the perfect example of the term actions have consequences. Mr. Pillow made his own bed and now he has to lay in it... with no pillow I may add.
“The machines are turning on him!” 😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻😂😂
David going through the items for sale was one of his most savagely cavalier moments
Smug! Pakman sucks!
Lindell f'd around, and now we've moved to the 'find out' phase!
👍👍
Well, at least Mike will have enough pillow stuffing to prepare for a rough landing 🤔
😅😅😅😅
I do not feel bad for Mike Lindell one bit. This is a story of his own doing. I do feel terrible for the employees of MyPillow as they didn't do anything to deserve this. If I was employed at his facility I would had been looking for a different job at least 2 years ago.
In an environment favorable to employees find other jobs, I have trouble feeling to badly for the employees who didn't see the writing on the pillow.....I mean, wall, long ago.
Tears on My Pillow
It would be a good opportunity to buy something cheap and flip it, then donate the proceeds to a democratic cause and write it off your taxes.
now this is genius
I wouldn’t give Lindell a penny of support…fuck that guy
18 pages of stuff , there are some sewing machine you could use at home , round $700 each , thats about it , rest of course are industrial , 3 phase , machinery that no one use at home in US , with 1 phase customer connections , also auction ends in a 1 day 20 hour .
@@pete_lind lol it's not stuff for home use, it's for business/industrial. and there's lot's of stuff you could use at home, like a shop vac, a steamer, lots of tables and desk and chairs and computers
@@dustyoldhat lol, I suppose I could have said to buy the items cheap, then quickly broker a sale with a new buyer.
I was already laughing really hard, then he said "they did cancel culture on us" 😂😂😭this story is just nonstop hilarious
Yes, David. Find something on the auction site. That van might be a good purchase. It might come in handy as your family grows.
Watching that fanatic and traitor lose everything is the definition of "schadenfreude".
As a business man. It is always sad to see a business go down. I see it as an element of a cult. The guy truly believed in the stuff. NO critical thinking. Please do not buy any of the equipment.Better yet send him a copy of your book
Ohhh that's ingenious!! David NEEDS to send him a copy! 😂
Don't buy any of Lindell's stuff. Consider it like giving the crack addict or alcoholic panhandling on the street some cash: you KNOW it will go maintaining their addiction and nothing good will come of your charity.
You don't want him to take all the good deals before you get a chance to bid. SMH.
I FEEL BAD for the WORKERS who made Lindell WEALTHY AND NOTICED enough for this FOOL to board the "S.S. D. Trump"! "S.S."=SINKING SHIP!
People who tried to sell our democracy for money are going broke.
Beautiful, beautiful irony.
David Packman! I love yoyr book!
Good on you sir!
I've been a supporter of yours for about 10 years and always enjoyed your presence in media.
Glad to hear it!
Looks like the company was a nice place to work. 19 massage tables for sale. Lots of sound absorbing materials to keep the factory quiet. And art to make it look nice. I'm glad Lindell is seeing consequences from his lunacy but i feel bad for the employees.
No one wants equipment that makes lumpy pillows! 😂😂😂
I love this kind of ginned-up report. Lindell's company is not publicly traded so how would the perpetrator of this "information" know that sales are down $100 million? As for auctioning off equipment, when I ran a publishing company, we frequently auctioned off old equipment to buy new, better equipment. The reason this report was produced was simply to make Lindell look bad because he has dared to support Trump and thumb his nose at the corrupt establishment by selling directly when big box stores such as Walmart, which cowtow to the woke crowd and would not carry his merchandise.
Sad poor guy. I am always stumped by how people can be so very wrong and unable to stop.....
There was a time when I really admired this guy. Being able to get clean and sober and become an enormous success story but it looks like another addiction brought him down. His obsession over the election fed his addictive personality. I am not sure any type of intervention could have helped him as an addict never sees the destruction until it's too late.
Ecstatic to see Mike Pillow lose everything.
As a Minnesotan, I hate how much of a blight he is on us.
Bankruptcy Is Coming To The Pillow Guy 😅
I feel bad for his workers, not for him 😂🤣😂🤣
If he’s selling off machines that means there’s no one to run that machine. People losing their jobs is the real tragedy
not every job is good for the economy
They could leave and take another job. I don't wanna work for this guy anyway.
I have a question. Since Mike Lindell is filling a lawsuit against all machines, do I need to get an attorney for my washer and dryer?
I bought your book immediately
Ecstatic that others are not buying traitor pillows.
I hope some employers took mercy on the employees looking for jobs and hired them out of pity
Hi, Dave: 2Tawl from B.C.here: Yes, by all means pickup that semi-tractor and trailer combo dirt cheap.Next, get a good driver, put a giant picture of yourself holding up the childrens' book and go on a mega speaking tour around the U.S.It's time to get out of your super comfy studio/ office and get down with The People, Dave!!
I am very very very HAPPY about this!
I honestly feel for his staff. Because of Mike’s lunacy, they’re all most likely going be out of their job.
It’s cool though. Mike and his employees will be just fine. This is just all a part of some divine plan. Everything will work itself out for good old Mikey in the end.
Poetic justice : Mike Lindell sells all of his equipment on the very cheap. His employees somehow pool their savings and resources and buy the equipment and save their jobs and the company and form an employee owned worker's cooperative company, now owned by the company's employees. Socialism at its best. Go figure.
Many years ago, when I entered the labor market, I HONESTLY believed that "superiors" were SMARTER! Guess what; THEY AREN'T!
I have mixed feelings about the demise of My Pillow. While I believe Lindell's fate is his own doing and is the justice he deserves for his attempt to over throw the government, I am saddened to think about the number of employees who will be losing their jobs and income as a result of Lindell's delusions.
It blows my mind how Mindless Mike was willing to lose it all because as Sinatra would've sang it.... "HE Did It TRUUUUMP'S WAAAAYYY!!"🤷♀️🙆♀️
Thank GOD !!!!
"It was a major cancellation" -- I thought thats how the free markets are supposed to work
Sad. Everything about this guy is just sad.
Yet, his sadness brings me joy.
@@mondoseguendo6113😂😂😂 me too
"Hey Donald, you'll bail me out, right?"
(crickets)
"Right..?"
THIS NEWS does not make me happy, nor does it make me sad.
It's just... _NOT surprising._
I used to party with Mike back in the day. He's really not a bad guy, just very gullible..
He could've had a nice, quiet, well-funded life but he had to go and hook himself to the greedy crazy train so he'll get no sympathy from me. Somehow I've got to think that his bad choice is related to the same mental issues that led to his drug addiction. He just substituted tfg for crack
I could less about Mike Pillow but I feel sad for his employees. Ugh, he is so unwell.
It makes me ill; it’s disgusting to see how far from informed that so many Americans let themselves go, so far from reason and responsibility.
The "conservatives only" dating site, "bank", and crypto also went belly-up!
I feel more sorry for the employees who have lost their jobs.
I’ve ALWAYS wanted a pillow forklift. Now is my chance 👊🏻
The soundtrack to Pillow's life is a sad trombone
I don't wish anyone's business to fail. That being said, I can't feel sorry for someone because of their own stupidity. Leave politics OUT of your business, ANY business, unless all you want is the people that believe like you do and don't be surprised when people that don't believe like you do walk away from you.
I do. Especially his.
When your business is based on just one product, you automatically have a problem keeping it successful. Taking any unnecessary risk, not connected to the business, is foolish in the extreme.
What do you mean? I wish for MANY people's business to fail, such as:
> Jinky Jared and Incest Ivanka
> any dumbo donald business, casino, hotel, steaks, ties, etc.
> Mike Pillow
> Roger Stone
> dumbo donald junior and eric's businesses
> anything Kimberley Guilfoyle is involved in
> Rupert Murdoch's Fox News
> any MAGA morons' businesses
I agree: wouldn't wish will on anybody. But Pillow is just spitting in the wind. Nature (reality) will fix him.
I honestly think he fell off the wagon a while back, and I have a hard time celebrating anyone's demise. His choices brought him here. He needs help.
FYI, Slumberland is a chain of home furnishings stores in the midwest. 120 stores in 12 Midwestern states, 40 of which are in Mike Pillow’s home state of Minnesota.
That opening line is begging to be sampled and mixed into a sick new song. Mostly pillows 😂
“MyPillow is failing so hard…that Pillow is selling the desks and chairs where his employees sit.”
A quote heard only on The David Pakman Show, folks.
Pillow is about to embark on his next enterprise: MyBankruptcy! Well deserved, Pillow! Well deserved!
My cocaine run to South America. I have to save the country with coke.
This makes me very happy. Get him and those dirty pillows as far from us as possible. 🤣
I live in the Twin Cities. My father texted me this week and asked if I could pick up an item he was bidding on in a K-Bid auction if he won it, as he'd be away. I really really hope he's bidding on a pillow making machine!! I want to make MyOwnPillow!!
PS. David, if you win an auction, I will pick it up for you!!
It makes me sad, because I have empathy for other human beings, even when they are my enemies.
Maybe he can sell a MyPillow with I Did This to myself stitched on the front of it?
I truely never wanted the machines to win until now!
Old school education back in my day always made us " put on your thinking caps " and figure things out for yourself. Citizens should start insisting on and fighting for good education for our children.
I saw some of his pillows just piling up at a resale store.
This guy... Really sad
At first his story seemed inspirational because of his past drug addiction, but it seems like there have been some untreated issues possibly as a result of that which have led to his downfall.
Maybe Pillow can sell them to "Mexico". LOL
@@enriqueiii9209 build a wall outta pillows, make mexico pay for it. At least it's an improvement from Trump's
Mike Pillow deserves it but I feel sad for employees likely losing their jobs because their boss went nuts.
Best news I've heard in months 😊
Everything Trump touches turns to mush. I don’t feel one bit. Sorry to hear it go cry me a pillow.
😄😍😗😃🙂😉!!!
😂😂😂
Turns to mush? DIES rather.
(Whether American lives or dies is still pending.)
Trumpy the Mush
This is the second most devastating pillow-based news I’ve heard today.
Devastating from the standpoint of pillows
And just when I thought he’d branch out into the burgeoning, likely unsuccessful, square pillow market.
You are referring to the nuclear pillow in Pakistan?
