Ah yes, the completely normal 70.23% discount.
You know he couldn't math that himself.
math that
I'm sad that you Englished that.
"Verbing words weirds them"
THAT'S the one I was looking for!
Watterson created a masterpiece with that series, that's for sure.
Shakespeare verbed nouns all the time. Language should be enjoyed, not bound.
Crazy thing is he has to give a 70.23% discount for people to even think about buying a pillow
50 dollars for the world's best pillow is a steal
Something you use every night that can actually help with sleep and health. You shouldn't be skimping on your pillow.
That’s because his pillows, like him, are garbage.
It’s amazing how this guy managed to basically throw away everything he had accomplished for a grifter who doesn’t even give two shits about him.
Very on script for an addict
Maybe though I don’t like using someone’s addiction to poke fun. He did a really good job of overcoming it originally and then pissed it all away like so many other’s left in Trump’s wake.
He's credibly stupid enough to not have known.
And plenty MAGA asshole enough to have hired a neo-nazi to set sale pricing.
I don't think he's stupid enough not to know what those numbers mean. The crowds he hangs out with, there is zero doubt he has seen those tattoos on more than a few faces in the MAGA crowds.
I don't necessarily think he was even aware of the price tag, or thought about a proposed sale enough to notice. I think the chances this was one of his nazi employees is higher than him setting his own sales price himself.
He doesn't seem to be coherent enough to be running day to day things like that, when his focus is getting in front of any camera willing to record him.
Am I stupid? I had no idea there was any symbolism in those numbers.
No, that's the point of a dog whistle. Those in the know understand, and they don't want outsiders to notice. One of the best ways to combat these people is to let everyone in on their "secret" codes, so we can see exactly who is putting their hat in with the Nazis.
Not stupid, just lucky that you haven't had extensive dealings with these people
He knows what he's doing. It got him free advertising.
Mike Lindell did a Nazi dog whistle, not surprised.
Mike Lindell claimed he had no idea about how super Nazi it was: not surprised.
had to do it. it's all I could see from the photo in the article.
Sure, and the promo was 14.98 first and was then changed to 14.88 after 12 days by accident? All just happenstance?
I won't detail everything again here, please let me refer you to my comment from when the story broke:
MeinPillow
To be fair, he's ignorant AF.
But yeah of course he knew.
I doubt he personally is setting those prices.
Which means he's got at least one neo-nazi on staff.
Why is he still in the news?
People cant stop looking at an on going train wreck
He might as well be walking around with a Hitler mustache claiming ignorance. I could totally see him doing that.
"Now check out our new novelty shaped bed, the Swasleeper!"
A wide selektion of pillows featuring proprietary anti-parasite coating! Available in black, white, and red.
I'm half tempted to buy the domain name "myLUMPYpillow.com" and simply redirect the traffic to mypillow.com just because of how much Lindell would hate that.
Makes sense, he's a couple of quick razor swipes from a Hitler stache.
Mike Lindell claims ignorance ~~over neo-Nazi symbolism in MyPillow prices~~
Of course he is, they always do.
Bull-fuckin'-shit.
