The apostles of Donald Trump and his “Big Lie”<\/em> that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged and stolen”<\/em> from him are continuing to fail in their relentless and preposterous campaign to undermine democracy on behalf of Dear Leader Trump.<\/p>\n

Among the most prominent of the Trump cult disciples is the notorious MyPillow pitchman, Mike Lindell. For the past two years Lindell has been peddling Trump’s crackpot contention that there was so much voter fraud that the election results should be disregarded and Trump restored to power. Never mind that there hasn’t been a shred of evidence provided to support their conspiracy theories. And Lindell has been implicated in federal crimes related to his fraud mongering.<\/p>\n

As result of their bogus claims, Dominion Voting Systems filed a billion dollar lawsuit for defamation<\/a><\/strong> against Fox News and others, including Newsmax, One America News Network (OAN), Rudy Giuliani, and Lindell. Last year an appeals court refused Lindell’s motion for dismissal. He subsequently appealed to the Supreme Court. And now that court has also rejected him<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal from a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump who is trying to fend off a defamation suit from a voting company he falsely accused of rigging the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

“Michael Lindell, the founder of MyPillow and a regular presence at Trump’s rallies, is fighting a $1.3 billion defamation suit filed in federal court by US Dominion, the company that manufacturers voting machines used in several battleground states. Lindell’s effort was denied by a Trump-appointed U.S. District judge last year.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This ruling by the Supreme Court affirms that Dominion’s charges of defamation are viable and that it can reasonably be construed that Lindell knew that what he was saying was false, or that he should have known.<\/p>\n

This comes on the heels of another Lindell court loss wherein he filed his own defamation suit against Dominion and another company that made voting software, Smartmatic. That lawsuit was also thrown out, but not before Lindell bragged that it would be so successful that the Supreme Court would eventually rule in his favor 9-0, and would overturn the election and reinstate Trump. No, really…<\/p>\n

“We’re gonna bring it to the Supreme Court. It’s gonna be 9-0. They’re gonna take this election down. And yes, Donald Trump will be your president. He is the president now.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mike Lindell states that the Supreme Court will rule 9-0 in his favor. He also states that Donald Trump will be the president and that he is the president right now. pic.twitter.com\/yc2AtdXPNo<\/a><\/p>\n
