He will probably be back to selling pillows to the party faithful. I wouldn't buy his pillows for a dime a dozen.

He toxified his own brand.
Expenses now substantially exceed revenues and they're shedding inventory for 66% off on products with only around a 24% operating margin. (Less than cost)
That sounds like a company desperate for cash to cover debt service.
If that's his fallback position, he's in a world of hurt.
Also, that $152 million company has (wait....) 1,500 employees! Under $100 grand in revenue per worker.
I think Minnesota is about to see an increase in unemployment claims as these people start getting laid off from these poorly paying gigs.

I really don’t you could smother someone with those flimsy pieces of shit. Fortunately there was a decent pillow available for my head or I would have not slept.

The next morning my relative asked how I liked the pillows? I said ‘yep, they were designed by a crackhead’. She laughed and said that why she provided a real pillow.

She bought them before the political BS when he was just a TV huckster. She voted for Biden.

Napoleon is Jerry Samuels, a recording engineer from New York City. "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-haaa" is about a guy who goes insane (like, to the funny farm) when his girl leaves him. Except it's not his girl who left - at the end of the song we find out it's his dog when Samuels intones:

They'll put you in the A.S.P.C.A.
You mangy mutt

In a Songfacts interview with Samuels, he explained: "It took me nine months to finish it. I wrote one verse and the chorus, and immediately I realized I was writing a sick joke. So I said, 'This is no good, I'll put it away.' Three months later it was still running through my head; I pulled it out again and wrote the second verse and it was an even sicker joke. Finally about six months after that I decided I was going to finish it, and I was going to do something in that last verse that would throw things off a little bit, so I referred to the object - 'They're coming to take me away because of what YOU did - I referred to YOU as a dog. The dog ran away. By doing that I felt I was lightening the sickness of the joke, and I probably was and it probably did some good for me, but that was the reason I went for that afterthought."

https://www.songfacts.com/facts/napoleon-xiv/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-haaa


On the internet nobody knows you're a dog.

w


I am a dog.

My grandparents were not fully functional adult human beings. Rather they were crazy smart. My parents are artists who usually managed to have day jobs.

Unfortunately I inherited some of that shit and passed it on to my children. Fortunately they are considerably more functional than I was at times. They never did the "homeless person" gig I did.

I know all about the stigma.

"Be Strong" and "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" are bullshit philosophies.

If you are lucky modern meds work.

I don't post my worst stories here on DU.

It's a deeply, deeply twisted aspect of my personality, but sometimes this song has been my mantra.

The A.S.P.C.A. ain't bad.

We did that one a few months ago. Our videographer is having some serious health issues, and our production has been delayed of late. We have 2 more in the works that she hopes to complete soon, and one about to start recording the soundtrack.

As for the "His Pillow" one, I hope you liked the little twitter bird leaving his mark on Lindell's head at the end.

Does he not have any loved ones who see his demented behavior, and have him committed? I'm not saying that to be mean. It's blatantly obvious that the man is not well. We have been watching a rapid descent into madness, and it's shameful that the people who surround him are letting it continue.

The same goes for Lin Wood and Sidney Powell. All of them are batshit crazy.
