Lindell has been embroiled in legal battles related to false claims he made about the 2020 presidential election.

Mike Lindell, MyPillow CEO, a candidate for Minnesota governor and a notorious ally of Donald Trump, was served with legal documents during a live TV interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Gaylord, Texas, on Thursday.

Lindell was speaking with a reporter from the far-right news outlet One America News when a woman interrupted the interview.

After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

Maga is so incredibly good at picking the biggest possible losers to rally behind

Theyve got the pillow guy, the couch guy, and the kid raper. Fun group.

And the puppy killer, and the douchy podcaster, and the richest man in the world that can't stop acting like he's on 4chan, Jewish space lasers lady, the woman that married the guy that exposed himself to her as a minor, and Ted Cruz

[-] grue@lemmy.world 30 points 6 months ago

Jewish space lasers lady rage-quit because she finally got it through her dumbass skull that pedo-in-chief wasn't actually going after the pedos.

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I don't believe her. I think it's just a different grift, not a genuine change of heart.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I believe that she was a QAnon true believer, but finally getting disillusioned from that doesn't somehow redeem her from continuing to be a vile piece of shit in every other possible way.

[-] School_Lunch@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I thought I remember reading that she wanted some kind of promotion, maybe a cabinet postition or something but was passed over, so she left that group of grifters to start her own.

She still believes all the MAGA nonsense, but her core issues were the Epstein Files and America First, and he just torched both of them. She represents a lot of MAGAs who feel betrayed.

But if Trump ran again, she would rationalize voting for him again, over even the most reasonable intelligent Democrat.

losers with no morals know that there is no easier, self-selecting mark for scams than the maga cult

Ah yes, because professional process servers are "deranged leftists" now.

[-] 4am@lemmy.zip 22 points 6 months ago

Oh god please let him get held in contempt for failure to appear 🤣

[-] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 months ago

It’s such an open look into their way of thinking (and how they want us to think of it too); anyone holding someone on the right accountable to actual law is doing so to weaponize the law against them, due to political ideology and not you know, holding up the law.

Remember, fascists see ethics as such: law protects but does not bind them, and binds but does not protect anyone outside their preferred in-group.

"What they're doing is illegal!"

"Sir, you're being served with papers for a crime you've committed"

"I don't have time for this, I'm on TV!"

[-] stickyprimer@lemmy.world 59 points 6 months ago

After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

Fool. He accepted the papers. No one cares that he then littered. She won.

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 months ago

can she prove it? Hard to say, if only he was on TV

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 59 points 6 months ago

After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

Thats awesome! There's now video proof he was served and he can't deny he never wasn't.

Process servers take note of this. If you want your target to accept the papers, simply have a second person attempting an interview.

[-] 0li0li@lemmy.world 51 points 6 months ago

...only to pick the documents off the floor when the cameras were off.

[-] areakode@riskeratspizza.com 19 points 6 months ago

Sure. He isn't an idiot. He just plays one professionally for morons. Oh, he's also an idiot.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 35 points 6 months ago

YO MIKE

Is your boy Trump helping you out with your legal fees?

I thought you were going to get a spot in his administration for all the help you gave him.

I'm sure he'll get around to it.

Anyway, have the life you earned, cumstain.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 27 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

He reminds me of Charlie's creepy lawyer uncle on Sunny! Little thiccer in the midsection but there you have it

Pillow CEO in legal trouble in conservative conference in Gaylord, Texas.. Man this timeline just getting lazy

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Is it me, or is there something inherently funny about CPAC being in a place called "Gaylord?"

I'd like to see the traffic for Grindr there this week.

the Conservative Political Action Conference in Gaylord, Texas

Weird venue choice for the homophobic fascist (but I repeat myself) party 🤔

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 9 points 6 months ago

Home of Grindr HQ. I hope they shored up their infrastructure for this. They ALWAYS crash during Conservative conventions.

[-] pi3r8@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 10 points 6 months ago

Oof, this guy can't catch a break. It really sucks to be so stubbornly attached to your own insanity that you keep getting yourself sued. Good luck there buddy lol

[-] kurmudgeon@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

This video clip is a perfect analogy for how the rich can treat our legal system. For everyone else, there's Ice killing Alex Pretti.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

You just know there are people he burned in business back on the 80s that are just enjoying the absolute shit out of this guys non-stop never-ending downward spiral.

Guy hasnt had a good day since January 6th 2021. Even in this administration.

I'm not familiar with this "serving papers" thing. Can someone ELI5 (and not American)?

What's the legal aspect of having to physically give someone some documents?

[-] suzucappo@lemmy.world 26 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It's basically "Hi, here's some documentation informing you of legal proceedings against you. You now have no excuse to say you didn't know about it and are legally required to participate in the proceedings."

The person that serves the papers stands as the witness to the specific individual receiving said papers. Rather than mailing them and the papers just being ignored and people playing dumb about it to try to get out of whatever is going on for as long as possible.

If I'm missing something someone is more than welcome to come add onto or correct me if I'm wrong.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 months ago

This about sums it up. But I will add that there's also a subtype of bounty hunters who's whole job is to track folks down to serve papers. Not really much to add past that just a fun fact.

[-] hereiamagain@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I ran into one of these a few weeks ago trying to serve papers to my neighbor. They rang my bell to ask about him. Crazy.

I'm no snitch, but I did confirm some guy lives there, but I don't know anything about him 🤷‍♂️

Which also happens to be mostly the truth. Couldn't even tell you the guys name.

I see them knocking on his door every few days or so, still haven't got him.

But I AM a snitch when it counts, I definitely called the police on his girlfriend for drunk driving before.

She came home, struggled to get up the stairs, struggled to unlock her door, and then complained loudly to her cats, yelling, describing how drunk she was to them. Then 10 minutes later I heard her door again, by the time I got to my window she was driving away. I dialed 911 immediately. Unfortunately nothing came of it 🤷‍♂️
