    On one hand, man lands on moon; on the other, social and main stream media gladly gave this lunatic a bullhorn and only pulled the plug a week prior after they had squeezed every penny instead of doing it 5 yrs ago.

    Have they pulled the bogus Russia collusion stories or the claims that anything negative about Hunter Biden is Russian disinformation?

    Have they pulled, the false "Hands up, don't shoot" narrative.

    Twitter permanently suspends My Pillow CEO for election misinformation
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-mypillow-twitter-idUSKBN29V0P1

    Twitter Inc has permanently suspended the account of My Pillow chief Mike Lindell for repeated violations of the company’s policy on election misinformation, the social media firm said late on Monday.

    Lindell, a devout supporter of former U.S. President Donald Trump, financed post-election protest movements in a bid to overturn the election win of President Joe Biden.

    Lindell used his personal Twitter account, which had nearly half a million followers before being suspended, and the company’s account to spread unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud in the presidential election.

    Courts have rejected such baseless claims, even as Trump and his supporters continued to falsely allege there being voter fraud.

    Lindell repeatedly violated the company’s civic integrity policy, due to which he was suspended, a Twitter spokesperson said in an emailed statement. Twitter had permanently suspended Trump from its platform earlier this month.

    The founder and Chief Executive Officer of the My Pillow company, Lindell’s political commentary and advertisements are a regular fixture on conservative media.

    A self-described former cocaine addict and alcoholic who says he found sobriety through Christianity, Lindell helped sponsor a two-week March for Trump bus tour that ended in Washington on Dec. 14 and spoke at five stops.

    Better late than never. Regardless, I'm just glad he's a pillow guy and not some doctor that talks on twitter about alien semen. :rolleyes:
