Both Sides: Why we don't fuck with the GOP

Are you fucking kidding me. I swear to god if somebody come up to me and say this bullshit, I am going to curse them out. I thought this was a comedy bit but apparently this article is real.
This is a fucking cult by all standard textbook definitions. They know the leader is right, but they can't say why. Now I get trying to very unique food, and not knowing about flavor profiles, but even a kid will say "it's yummy". I stopped feeling bad for ignorant adults because they have access to information. Kids get the benefit of the doubt because I don't expect an 11 year old to understand how life works.

MyPillow auctions equipment after retailers pull its products
MyPillow is auctioning off hundreds of pieces of equipment and subleasing manufacturing space after several shopping networks and major retailers took the company's products off shelves.
The Chaska-based manufacturer recently listed more than 850 "surplus equipment" items on the online auction site K-Bid. Sewing machines, industrial fabric spreaders, forklifts and even desks and chairs are up for auction.
Founder and CEO Mike Lindell said MyPillow has experienced a loss in revenue and the items are no longer needed as the company consolidates its operations.
Major retailers such as Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond and Slumberland Furniture all said they will no longer sell MyPillow products as Lindell continues to falsely claim that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
"It was a massive, massive cancellation," Lindell said in a phone interview Monday. "We lost $100 million from attacks by the box stores, the shopping networks, the shopping channels, all of them did cancel culture on us."
The auction does not appear related to the $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit targeting both Lindell and MyPillow, which is ongoing in federal court.
Dominion Voting Systems alleges Lindell defamed the company as part of his campaign to paint the 2020 presidential election as "rigged." Dominion makes voting machines and election software.
Lindell has not backed down from his assertions that there was something wrong with the 2020 election and its results. He said he plans to host an event next month detailing a new way to hold elections.
But the ongoing controversy over his claims has forced major shifts in his business. After some shopping networks dropped his products, the company has moved to direct sales, shooting new television commercials and trying to boost its presence through email marketing, radio spots and direct mailing.
Lindell said the company is subleasing some of its manufacturing space in Shakopee because the packaging for direct sales is different than what they needed when working with big retailers.
"We kind of needed a building and a half, but now with these moves we're making, we can get it down to our one building," he said.
"If the box stores ever came back we could have it if we needed it, but we don't need that," he added. "It affected a lot of things when you lose that big of a chunk [of revenue]."
The same is true for the equipment he's auctioning off. He said he will need to replace whatever he auctions off if the retailers "ever came back."
There were several months after MyPillow was dropped by retailers when there was "hardly anything" for some workers to do, Lindell said. He shifted employees to work for MyStore, an online marketplace he created. Others moved over to his addiction resource organization, the Lindell Recovery Network.
Most hardware stores, such as Menards, Fleet Farm and Ace, continue to carry MyPillow products, he said. He hasn't had to lay off any employees yet, but some may have left the company after being reassigned new roles, Lindell said.
When asked if the matter of the pending lawsuits has added to the challenges in his business, Lindell said "of course it has."
In April, an arbitration panel ruled that Lindell needed to pay $5 million to a software forensics expert who disproved several of his election claims in a "Prove Mike Wrong" contest. Lindell has challenged that ruling, calling it "frivolous."
"The $5 million is the lowest one," he said. "I will be vindicated in every single one."
BREAKING: In a jaw-dropping display of blatant corruption, the Saudi Arabia-funded LIV Golf League announces that it will hold its $50 million team championship at Trump National Doral in Florida — providing a desperately needed cash infusion to the struggling business.
Despite pretending to be a hardcore American patriot, Trump clearly has no problem taking boatloads of cash from the country responsible for 9/11. His love for the United States has always been a PR lie.
Worse still, this bribe is almost certainly payback for favors Trump did for the Saudis during his time in the White House. When brutal dictator Mohammed bin Salman had the journalist Jamal Khashoggi murdered and dismembered, Trump refused to take action and even defended the Saudis.
On top of THAT, his son-in-law Jared Kushner received a massive $2 billion from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund after the Trump administration ended, an overt quid-pro quo for the aggressively pro-Saudi policies he pursued while in power.
This is absolutely disgusting. Trump is rubbing it in our faces that he sold out America to the Saudis for cold hard cash. It's time to launch a full investigation.

BREAKING: Legendary musician Jack White of the White Stripes rips into some of his fellow celebrities by name for buddying up to Donald Trump in public at a UFC fight in Las Vegas over the weekend.
Trump was spotted glad-handing and chatting with Joe Rogan, Guy Fieri, Mark Wahlberg, and noted antisemite Mel Gibson.
Jack White took to Instagram to tear into the traitor-loving celebs— "Anybody who ‘normalizes’ or treats this disgusting fascist, racist, con man, disgusting piece of shit Trump with any level of respect is ALSO disgusting in my book," wrote White beneath photos of the people at the event.
"That’s you Joe Rogan, you Mel Gibson, you Mark Wahlberg, you Guy Fieri. This is a statement from me, not a discussion/debate. -Jack White III," he went on, pulling no punches.
White absolutely nailed it. This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated by a country that wants to survive. This display of friendliness towards a fascist failed ex-president — a man who literally tried to overthrow our democracy — is a potent reminder that the super rich are insulated from the effects of destructive MAGA policies. They share class interests and will sell us all down the river if it gets them more tax cuts. Kudos to Jack White for taking a stand.
