Wow, that was cringe.

"Use code DEPOSITION for 20% off a lumpy pillow"
Moral qualms about bringing a frivolous ambulance chasing lawsuit? Get a lumpy pillow and you’ll sleep better at night.
"No, I don't own a bag of foam trash, actually." I wish he said. Or "lumpy pillow"
I have not sat through many depositions, but that deposing attorney is impressively calm.
Most attorneys LOVE to give you plenty of rope to hang yourself with. Looks like Lindell did that in spades.
Oops all rope.
That rope would provide a more comfortable sleep than his pillows. (And a much LONGER one.)

He's probably thrilled that Lindell is destroying his defense, committing new offenses, and he doesn't really care about being called an 'ambulance chaser' or 'disgusting' 50 times.
You didn't get to the part where he outright started calling the lawyer an asshole, did you?
Morbid curiosity, but there's only so much of this type of possession I can take. Imagine having to work for this egotistical fuck.
My favorite part is where the attorney asked him to list the other members of the 'crime family'.

I know probably most criminals aren't thrilled with depositions, but the folks questioning these MAGAts probably deserve a medal.
At least one year free therapy. 😂
Rattling a dude like lindell is probably therapy in itself. I'd pay to have an opportunity to ruffle this guy's feathers lol.
I imagine, if he dislikes Mike Pillow, he was ecstatic. This guy is digging himself a deeeep hole. Oh my his lawyer tells Mike to calm down and hour and half in. Oof.
It's part of his tactics. The calmer you are the crazier it makes the other guy look.
More than that, the more you're not rattled by the angry name-calling, the deeper the other guy goes into it.
I wanted a strong drink after just sitting through the supercut, I can't imagine how exhausting it must be for the lawyers on both sides.
The defence lawyer is going to need a whole case of the good stuff after that fiasco.
Yes. I hope this video becomes training for depositions. I know I would have difficulty staying calm and focused.
I knew he was nutty, but holy fuck this guy is actually insane.
If you haven’t, watch at least the first minute of the video. That’s all you need to have your jaw hit the floor at the crazy.
Narcissists don't like being held to any standard.
Yep, this is exactly the reaction of a cornered narcissist. The lawsuit, the deposition, the judge, the lawyer, they are all threatening the illusion that Mike is a great patriot CEO entrepreneur saving this country. The response is a deep, primal rage that he's only barely containing.
Man is upset his privilege card isn't working anymore.
This dude is crazy. Holy crap.
This man sat in the Oval fucking Office and...check notes...counseled the President of the United States domestic policy.
Lawyer just kept feeding him rope. This guy can't stand a few seconds of silence.
For those who don't know who that is, from Wikipedia:
Michael James Lindell, also known as the My Pillow Guy, is an American businessman, political activist, and conspiracy theorist. He is the founder and CEO of My Pillow, Inc., a pillow, bedding, and slipper manufacturing company.
Lindell is a prominent supporter of, and advisor to, former U.S. President Donald Trump. After Trump's defeat in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Lindell played a significant role in supporting and financing Trump's attempts to overturn the election result; he spread disproven conspiracy theories about widespread electoral fraud in that election. He has also been an active promoter of unproven medical treatments.
This was a fun watch. I thought maybe that he might be a even just a little less combative when the next day started, but no, straight back into it.
I guess when he started off abusing the lawyer less than 10mins after he met him, that was how this was going to go. Hilarious that the court stenographer refused to come back for another day, I can't imagine their professionalism is easily tested!
He is a very scared person.
I don't think that guy can feel his teeth.
I wish I had just a bit of whatever he's on. Holy shit.
Crack. It's crack.
You don't remember my question do you?
incoherent ranting
You don't remember my question do you?
Goddamn
It's the crack talking!
Please consider posting this type of video on the US News community rather than World News.
Watching dude get sucked into the trap where he thinks that dominating this conversation is what's important here is just 😙🤌so sweet. The only thing that could be more fun to watch is his face as what he said gets read back to him in a courtroom and he realizes that feeding his ego in this moment is gonna be what costs him his case.
Use coupon code CONVICTEDONALLCOUNTS to get 20% off a lumpy pillow that you can already get for 80% off at outlet and buyout stores nationwide.
It's too bad Justin Roilland got canned, because this is prime for another Rick and Morty court transcript video:

(Real court transcript voiced by Rick and Morty.)
Oh my god. This was amazing.
I watched a little bit. Just another bitch who is caught in a world of shit and there just aren’t enough my pillows to unfuck the situation.
Let them all eat shit.

He complained the judge wouldn't rule on his motion to dismiss. The next week the judge denied his motion to dismiss. The sanctions request was filled yesterday, so they haven't responded yet, but we do know that whatever they send will be taking advantage of the "excess pages" rule that their lawyer was too stupid to abide by when they first submitted their motion to dismiss and got it stricken twice. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63296393/coomer-v-lindell/

Mike Lindell is trying really hard to convince us that we are all taking part in a Mockumentary, and he's just a paid actor who is doing a comedic bit. The only thing that's missing for me in this video is the intro from The Office and the camera panning to Jim every now and then, who looks like he's trying hard not to laugh.
You're disgusting...keep going.
FYI your link is to a comment on the video, not the video itself, so it doesn't play on mobile without clicking on the video.
Is this propaganda? Looks like you could add an American flag overlay and an eagle at the right times, and call it "Honest to God businessman and his employees, vs. the unrelenting steel hand of Justice", or something... wonder how many people will see it like that.
There’s definitely a certain brand of heathen who will see his behavior as righteous and “stickin’ it to them”.
This was so much like the wrestling promos/interviews I watched long ago I kept seeing a stone faced Mean Gene Okerlund holding a mic up to Lindell. It has the same disjointed intensity. Surreal.
The man sounds like a petulant child. He's informed that he could face penalties for his behavior, and like a toddler, he doubles down on it.
What a loser.
This guy is obviously not well. I hope he can pull himself out of that hole.

Man, the lawyer doing the deposition is really trying to give the dude some solid advice.
