  3. Election denier and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell continues to refuse to pay more than $50,000 in sanctions he has been ordered to pay to voting software company Smartmatic over "frivolous" election claims -- alleging he's left with no money after numerous legal battles. "I'm in ruins," a teary Lindell said through a Zoom screen during a motion hearing in the U.S. District Court in Washington on Wednesday, pleading to Judge Carl Nichols to allow him to wait until after the final judgement comes out to make any payment in the case, which he has already lost. Last month, Smartmatic filed a motion to hold Lindell in contempt, alleging the MyPillow CEO has been dodging his court-ordered payment of $56,369 to Smartmatic for months. Lindell, however, insisted that he does not have the means to pay the amount due to various financial difficulties he has suffered over the last few years due to what he again claimed was "lawfare" waged against him for trying to "secure the election." "I borrowed everything I can. Nobody will lend me any money anymore," Lindell claimed. "I can't turn back time ... but I will tell you, I don't have any money." Lindell claimed he was recently forced to lay off hundreds of MyPillow employees, lost multiple MyPillow warehouse units over the past two years and even owes millions of dollars to the IRS for what he described as a COVID-era employee retention credit. He claimed he has "nothing" except for two houses, which he claimed are in the process of being liquidated, and a truck. He even claimed he can no longer adhere to a previously proposed plan of making monthly installments of $5,000. After listening through Lindell's plight, Nichols acknowledged that these claims are "non-verifiable representation" at the moment and gave Lindell until Friday to file under seal financial statements and other documents to prove his claims. "I have nothing to hide," Lindell said as he agreed to do so and added he wants Smartmatic to see the financial situation he's in as well. Smartmatic's attorney said his client would prefer to see the payment made in a lump sum as soon as possible but acknowledged he would respect the judge's ruling. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/im-ruins-teary-mike-lindell-tells-judge-smartmatic/story?id=120887538

  5. necro-bump. I just realized today that I'm rarely seeing Hoka shoes in the wild. Even in healthcare settings, where they were very popular. Has their popularity faded that much?
  6. Trump, on Fox news, said that SCOTUS "ruled 9-0 in my favor" Very cute. She looks like she should have a British accent.
  7. yeah, this is the type of folks to go with. I'm a realtor, and a good one, and I wouldn't know how to properly handle a listing like you describe.
  8. we are all in a shitty situation, and it's gonna get turbo-shittier. Plan accordingly. Me? Fuck it, I'm gonna party like a mofo.
  9. Having a MIL in Palm Beach and a SIL in Coral Gables, I'm familiar with that drive, and it's a motherfucker. But a helo would work quite well.
  10. Hospital admin lady is Avon Barksdale's sister. Stepkid sucks indeed. He's also an ugly mofo.
  11. Anything's a dildo if you're brave enough
  12. We did the "Mexican Riviera" on celebrity. Los Angeles to a few stops in Mexico; 6 nights total IIRC. We met a couple that had done it 4 consecutive times. Interior room, no drink package, etc. They never got off the boat.
  13. I expect "The Biden Recession" to be widely-discussed on Fox Business.
  14. Little Lord Fuckpants was so dumb that he almost drowned in 3 inches of water. The Penguin Exhibit.
  15. Indeed he was. And Cash was a very, very hair-dyed man.
  16. I'll explain it to y'all like you're 5. We're turbo fucked. Fucking morons are in charge. Prepare your anus.
  17. yeah, we really needed a fireball there.
  18. not at my age. If I got lasik, I'd still need reading glasses. My contacts work just fine for me. My kid got Lasik a few years back, courtesy of Uncle Sam. He's got perfect vision, as required by his occupation (military pilot)
  19. If Liucci looks at this board, you can expect an invitation for fisticuffs in the Texas.com parking lot.
  20. I like Lenny Kravitz. He's good, and he's got a really cool look. I always assumed his name was just a cool made-up stage name. Nope. Lenny and Mr. Kravitz
  21. "Chad patiently explained to me that they put that TruCoat on at the factory"
  22. went down a YouTube rabbit hole the other night and watched the official video for "If I should Fall Behind". Nils is such a fantastic musician. A pro's pro, and the guy can do anything. I respect the shit out of that guy, and as far as I can tell, so does every musician that he's ever worked with. But he's a goofy-looking motherfucker.
  23. within an hour of each other, two of my investor clients called me and told me to stop searching for them; they are holding off any further investments and hoarding cash. 4 million worth of cash buyers gone in a poof. Thanks, Obama?
  24. Yeah, I ended up at Costco. Not the cheapest, but a good price. I ordered on a Thursday and they were in my mailbox the following tuesday.
