Mike Lindell’s motion to get his phone back and have a special master appointed was just denied by the court. The court cited the 11th Circuit’s reversal in the Trump case. Trump’s ridiculous motion helped Lindell lose his. So much winning on the Trump Train!

1. LOL!. . .

love your title

[ificandream]

2. Lindell is such a wimpy fob. No surprise he'd steal Trump's tactic.

[Brother Buzz]

3. Damn, that was fast. Hell, it didn't even last one measly news cycle

[Walleye]

4. That's kind of tasty desserts

[hlthe2b]

5. Hmm.. Am I enjoying the slap-in-the-face to Lindell more or to Dershowitz...

I kinda think the latter.

[Tadpole Raisin]

6. It bothered me just a wee bit they used the 11th circuit ruling

only because they didn’t need it but maybe it just makes it easier to say You’re Done, now stop this nonsense.

10. Courts Tend To Put A High Value On Precedent*

*except for 1)genuine cases of recognizing that some precedent is outdated and 2)corrupt cases of not wanting to follow existing law

[GenXer47]

7. the judge also ordered

Dershowitz to fart in Lindell's pillow.

[smb]

8. I Expect A Wave Of Bogus "Special Master" Requests In All Sorts Of Cases...

...at least until it becomes clear that this is an express route to a some variation on "bailiff, whack his pee-pee" from an irate judge.

[Nevilledog]

11. One of the Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, tried it and was shot down immediately.

[calimary]

16. GOOD!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. Cultists seem to latch onto magic incantations, even when there's no magic.

27. It's Like Some Of The Wackadoo "Soverign Citizen" Notions

They concoct notions like the existence of a separate "straw man" persona represented by writing one's name in ALL CAPS and file bizarro legal documents purporting to transfer their debts, tax bills, etc, to the "straw man" so they don't have to pay up.

[Aristus]

30. There are few things more whackadoo about their beliefs than the idea

that if the court's American flag has a yellow fringe, it means the court does not have jurisdiction over the defendant. I mean, that's just some crazy shit there...

[ShazzieB]

37. Whaaat?

I hadn't heard that one! But it sounds like something those so-called "sovereign citizens" would come up with.

[Aristus]

38. From Wikipedia:

Traditionally, the flag may be decorated with golden fringe surrounding the perimeter of the flag as long as it does not deface the flag proper. Ceremonial displays of the flag, such as those in parades or on indoor posts, often use fringe to enhance the flag's appearance. Traditionally, the Army and Air Force use a fringed flag for parades, color guard and indoor display, while the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard use a fringeless flag for all occasions.

The first recorded use of fringe on a flag dates from 1835, and the Army used it officially in 1895. No specific law governs the legality of fringe. Still, a 1925 opinion of the attorney general addresses the use of fringe (and the number of stars) "... is at the discretion of the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy ..." as quoted from a footnote in previous volumes of Title 4 of the United States Code law books. This opinion is a source for claims that a flag with fringe is a military ensign rather than a civilian. However, according to the Army Institute of Heraldry, which has official custody of the flag designs and makes any change ordered, there are no implications of symbolism in using fringe.

Individuals associated with the sovereign citizen movement and tax protester conspiracy arguments have claimed, based on the military usage, that the presence of a fringed flag in a civilian courtroom changes the nature or jurisdiction of the court. Federal and state courts have rejected this contention.

43. That's hilarious!

It's a good thing there was nothing in my mouth when I read that last paragraph.

[Aristus]

44. Most of their beliefs are spit-take worthy.

So if you do a deep-dive exploration into the world of "sovereign citizens", leave the beverages at home.

[Nevilledog]

56. I've represented SovCits as advisory counsel.

It's like a mental illness. The stuff they believe is so crazy that they always represent themselves because no attorney would file anything containing their ravings.

[smb]

41. Yep, It's Real

This is what these wackos actually believe, not something the King of the Hill writers made up.

[ShazzieB]

45. That was hilarious, too! 🤣

[SergeStorms]

9. The Deep State....

has stated very deeply, HA HA!

[calimary]

18. Call it the Deep-Six State at the rate this is going for these jerks.

[SergeStorms]

39. However fast it goes....

it's not fast enough for me. I want these jerks in jail yesterday.

[calimary]

47. Nor for me. WAY too slow.

Even those encouraging cases lately that are taking only a day, or less, to be decided.

[smb]

42. Those Guys Are The DERP State nt

[calimary]

46. OMG! I like yours better!

[progressoid]

29. That will literally be the excuse heard on AM radio on Monday.

"It's a rigged system!!11!"

[SergeStorms]

40. Imagine a world....

with no Orange Menace and no "Pillow Guy" in it. Heaven.

[Heather MC]

12. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He tried it

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. Is there a pdf of the court ruling somewhere?

[Nevilledog]

19. Thanks!

[SheltieLover]

14. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

[Aviation Pro]

17. Fuck you, 🍑🤡

Da Bares.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. Smothered by his own pillow. How tragic.

[NickB79]

21. The last few days has been like a birthday and Christmas all at once

🤣🤣🤣

[Nevilledog]

24. We even have a song to memorialize yesterday

[dchill]

25. Oh, yeah! 👍

[getagrip_already]

23. The only sad thing about this ruling.....

There weren't a lot of billable hours racked up by his legal team. It was basically a filing and a reading.

Oh well, hopefully they will find a sink hole to bill the life out of him.

[dchill]

26. Excuse me, Mike, but you already have a special master, right?

Pretty sure you can only have one!

[William769]

28. K&R.

[Ford_Prefect]

31. Burn Baby Burn!!! Mikey is TOASTED!

I hope he saved some back stock of his products. He's going to need them in jail.

[Vinca]

32. I picture him sobbing into one of his crummy pillows.

[3Hotdogs]

33. I got a used flip phone he can have for $25.00

[NBachers]

34. Flame-o for the lame-o

[Upthevibe]

35. Kick. N/T

[Lonestarblue]

36. There is something wrong in this country that a total sleaze and idiotic numbskull like Lindell

can become a millionaire! I guess the saying that a sucker is born every minute fits this situation.

[live love laugh]

48. Stupid fuck.

[patphil]

49. I think that judges won't want to make the same mistake that Judge Cannon did.

Being on the receiving end of national criticism and getting strongly rebuked by a higher court is not a pleasant experience.
It makes you look like an idiot.

[Cha]

50. lol@Lindell hitching himself

to DT train.

[BigmanPigman]

51. Boo fucking hoo...cry into your pillow, dude.

[RocRizzo55]

52. ROTFLMAOPMP!

What a maroon!

[twodogsbarking]

53. And a looser too.

[Marcuse]

54. Lindell Theme Song

55. How long before someone tries this in traffic court?

"Your honor, I would like to request a Special Master to review if any of the red light photos are of me, and if so I would like those back. In the mean time, the police should be barred from using the photos in their investigation."
