      “Mierdas Touch” instead of the “Midas Touch”.

      (the spanish word “mierda” translates to “shit”.)

    This dumbass fascist needs to be neutralized. I don’t advocate violence. More like I’d prefer that he play tag on a highway in the dark.

    Mr Coomer filed federal lawsuits in 2022 against Mr Lindell and two of his companies, My Pillow, Inc and Lindell TV, saying their actions had caused his reputation to be “irreparably tarnished”.

    He “now endures frequent credible death threats and the burden of being made the face of an imagined criminal conspiracy of unprecedented scope in American history”, his lawsuit said.

    “In the sense that [Coomer has] been through a lot and he’s still going to be looking over his shoulder,” added the attorney, Charles Cain.

    $2.3M is not nearly enough for that shit.

    I mean, he makes pillows right? So it probably wouldn’t be a giant leap for him to start manufacturing couches I’d assume? …all he has to do, is make a few My Couches™ , then just pimp them out to Vance.

    Presto! Debt paid.

    Back to crack, then?


    To be clear though, I don’t wish to denigrate crack users, but individuals who think they’re so so so much better than people who are struggling and work to make everyone’s lives worse, when they themselves have struggled and been helped by the services they wish to dismantle.

      Those pillows fucking suck, too. I can’t believe he openly marketed them as being made from leftover foam scraps, then sold them for $30 a piece.

        I guess it technically could be. Certainly sounds like a viable cure for stupid, at the very least.
