“I just got off the phone with Bed Bath and Beyond,†Lindell said during an interview with Right Side Broadcasting on Monday night. “They’re dropping MyPillow.â€
“I just got off the phone not five minutes ago,†Lindell, a staunch supporter of President Trump, continued. “Kohl’s. All these different places.â€

Since the RL is "Making Blacklisting Great Again"....
perhaps those of us on the right should engage in a little blacklisting of our own.

We're gonna need a parallel economy, media, banking, everything.

That’s a stupid business decision. We love MyPillows and highly recommend them.

It is purely politically motivated vengeance. Think the first baby steps of the "purge". If you study history, the Jews were persecuted way before they were rounded up and murdered.

Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl's and Wayfair STOP selling MyPillow over CEO Mike Lindell's support of voter fraud theories - as Dominion Voting threatens to sue him over 'baseless lies'
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says his products have been dropped by Bed Bath & Beyond, Wayfair and Kohl's amid his continued support of election conspiracies
He has has been ordered to cease and desist making defamatory claims against Dominion Voting Systems, with litigation 'imminent'
He has also been ordered to ‘preserve and retain all documents relating to Dominion and your smear campaign against the company'
Trump and several of his allies have pushed false conspiracy theories about the company since the election's conclusion, leading Dominion to take legal action
Dominion has also sent cease and desist letters to others, including Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, both of whom are staunch Trump allies
In Powell's case, she has been sued by Dominion for defamation, with the company seeking $1.3 billion in damages

Case after case of where the left has declared all out war on conservatives.
Only really solution to this? 888mouth

Retail stores operate on very small profit margins, about to be made even smaller when Democrats mandate minimum wage increases for their employees.
When you have products for sale like My Pillow, that not only provides a larger-than-average profit for the retailer, but results in cross-sales opportunities as well (pillow cases, linens, mattress covers, etc.)
Consequently, retailers who knuckle under to the Cancel Culture are going to wind up canceling themselves.
Idiots.

When you're at war... there is always only one solution....
with two possible outcomes.

I think a lot of these companies don’t really want to do this stuff. But now with Democrats controlling the Congress and the presidency, they don’t want them coming down on their companies
It’s the path of least resistance

I was surprised MyPillow was sold at these retailers. We always bought ours directly from Mike. :shrug:

Both Kohls and BBB will suffer from this, of course.
And any stockholders take it on the chin for their bias.

BBB? I thought their guiding principles prevented them from being involved in any political fray. You know the fair and bias aspect?

Apparently Wayfair is also on the bandwagon. They had just gotten our business back, after having canceled transactions for their dust-up with Laura Ingraham. They failed to learn...I am not likely to buy more MyPillows anyway because we have plenty for all the bedrooms in the house, but I don't think we need anything else from Wayfair either.
Lindell does sell nice sheets and bathrobes, so there's that. I'm not losing Mike's website address.

Huh?

This is the part that has never made sense to me. WHY would any national manufacturer EVER support a leftist candidate when history will tell them what happens to factory owners once the left takes over?

Mike Lindell?? Hardly. He wrote a whole book on how Christ saved his life from cocaine.

ME TOO!
Never understood Wall Street going all-in for Socialism. Do they not understand wealth confiscation and capital gains taxes at 90%?
Never understood Big Oil siding with Democrats when Liberals have said explicitly clearly that they want to nationalize and destroy the oil industry.
Never understood retail chains siding with Democrats when Democrats HATE them for being too profitable.
I don't know. And now with China running America there are no limits to what they will do to these people who supported them.
They gleefully funded and cheered the trains coming in to take them and their wealth.
"Liberalism is a mental disorder", has never been more clear than it is today. Liberals are cheering for their own destruction.

I know how you feel about Mike's Savior, but I also know you will respect a man who's been through all that and succeeded. :beer: :beer:

That has nothing to do with it. My personal decision to not buy any of his merchandise was based ENTIRELY on having the incorrect opinion that he was a rabid leftist.
I personally don't care if he worships fruit bats. That is entirely HIS decision to make or not make.
BUT.....,you are right on one issue. You have to admire someone that has the determination to work himself out of serious addiction and become a productive member of society. If it were easy,the streets would be damn near free of the homeless.
BTW,I don't condemn those who just can't seem to make that "leap". Once again,if it were easy,there would be no addicts.
I have a LOT of drunks in my family background,and anybody that doesn't think that is as serious a problem as coke or heroin addiction is delusional. I can only add that I happy for you having been able to avoid that experience.
For real. No fooling.

I never heard about that for BBB.
You might be thinking of the Better Business Bureau?

Bed, Bath & Beyond stock collapses by 36% after Mike Lindell canceled
Retail chain suffers biggest 1-day loss ever amid boycott supporting 'MyPillow guy'
Art Moore By Art Moore
Published January 28, 2021 at 5:38pm
Amid a boycott in response to its politically motivated decision to drop Mike Lindell's MyPillow products, shares of Bed Bath & Beyond plunged 36.4% at the close of trading Thursday.
The retail chain suffered its biggest one-day loss since going public in June 1992.
The consumer organization Media Action Network launched the boycott of Bed, Bath & Beyond after the retail chain stopped selling Lindell's products due to his support of President Trump's claim that fraud affected the outcome of the 2020 election. Retailers Wayfair and Kohl's also have stopped selling MyPillow products.
Lindell, famous for his TV ads, employs more than 1,500 people at his Minnesota plant. He recounted to WND last May the remarkable transformation in his life through his faith in Jesus Christ. https://www.wnd.com/2021/01/4888545/ (https://www.wnd.com/2021/01/4888545/)
And that's how it works.
Now I want to see some shareholders suits to bring them down low enough they are erased forever.

Looks like a run up and return, rather than a drop.
