EPIC LOL: Mike Pillow Denied Entry into Canada
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has been barred from entering Canada. Lindell has been on a propaganda campaign to deliver 10,000 pillows to the truckers who are currently protesting vaccine mandates. He went to the border but was turned away because he was not fully vaccinated and didn’t have a negative PCR test. Either Lindell knew the rules and tried to skirt them or he didn’t know the rules when he should have because the US-Canada border has been highly restricted ever since the start of the pandemic. Due to not being allowed in, Lindell has devised a plan to drop the pillows from the sky to the truckers. He wants to rent a helicopter and lower them down in Ottawa, however it’s not clear that that would be a possibility either. Every day there’s a new chapter to the tragic comedy that is the life and career of MyPillow guy Mike Lindell and this is simply the latest installment.
Trump Floats Death Penalty for People Not Charged with Any Crime
Donald Trump went on Glenn Beck’s show and suggested it would be acceptable to execute Hillary Clinton associates without due process. Trump and Beck were discussing a recycled talking point of the right, that Trump’s campaign and administration were spied on by his political opponents. Referring to Clinton lawyers, Trump said, “they broke into the Oval Office, they broke into the White House at the highest levels — so illegal. And as you know being someone that knows history probably better than almost anyone else, that would have been, a short time ago it would have been considered treason. And you know what treason is punishable by. And a longer time ago it would have been punishable by death when we ran a tough country.” The American right-wing claims to be all about due process, especially when it comes to gun rights and travel ban lists for anti-maskers. Now, all of a sudden because a supposed crime affects Trump personally, he believes it would be acceptable to enforce the strictest punishments possible without even going through the court of law.

Jamie Raskin Promises Trump Will Pay for His "Crime Wave"
Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin said during a recent interview that Donald Trump will be held accountable for his “crime wave.” So many Americans have been frustrated with the former president’s appearance of being above the law. On so many occasions, he has done things and has been accused of doing things that any normal person would be prosecuted and penalized for. Rep. Raskin, aware of this sentiment from the public, said during a recent interview with Salon that Trump is “guilty as sin” and that he will “get his comeuppance.” He said, “I know how maddening and frustrating it is to people. I share that feeling, having been an impeachment manager. . . . He's as guilty as sin. He's a one-man crime wave, and it's amazing that his dad's money and this pack of lawyers that he travels with have been able get him off everything up until now.” Raskin could be referring to January 6th, the election fraud case out of Georgia, the financial investigation out of New York, or all of the above. Time will tell if Raskin’s predictions actually come true or if Trump will continue to live his “crime wave” of a life without consequences.

TRIGGERED: MyPillow Mike Lindell CANCELED by His Own Bank
A bank used by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has chosen to cut ties with him due to fear of risk to its reputation. The Minnesota Bank & Trust terminated its relationship with Lindell after warning they would do so if he didn’t voluntarily close his accounts. The pillow tycoon went on Steve Bannon’s show “War Room” to discuss the situation. Lindell said, “I just got served the papers. They’re closing my account at Minnesota Bank & Trust, that’s Heartland Financial Inc. . . . Well the cowards served this paper on Friday afternoon after the close of business. They didn’t even bother to sign it.” Of course, having a bank account especially at a particular institution is not a legal right and Lindell is not being oppressed here. Conservatives used to argue all the time that private businesses have the right to chose the people with whom they want to do business. But now their talking points have changed so that when a right-winger isn’t accommodated to, it’s all of a sudden cancel culture and an infringement of free speech.

If ANYONE should be executed, it is Donald Trump, not Hillary Clinton. His blatant attacks toward our Constitution and democracy are worthy of capital punishment. He has done NOTHING to help our country for the last 5 yrs. The fact is, he should be convicted for crimes against humanity and sent to a federal prison for the rest of his life. A recent bumper sticker read "God Forgive America," not God Bless America.
