MyPillow is facing possible eviction at its outlet store, warehouse and primary manufacturing plant in Shakopee just months after the Minnesota company was forced out of a different warehouse for failing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in rent.

An eviction notice filed in Scott County says the company failed to pay rent for the months of June and July on the 374,000-square-foot property at 2101 4th Ave. E. in Shakopee. MyPillow owes its Pennsylvania-based landlord $447,603, according to the court filing.

A hearing is set for July 23 in Scott County District Court.

In March, the company was ordered by a Scott County judge to vacate another Shakopee warehouse at 4701 Valley Blvd. S. after the property's landlord showed the company owed more than $200,000 in rent. MyPillow was sent at least four default notices over six months before it was evicted from the property. The company's office headquarters are in Chaska.

As a Minnesotan, I will not be happy until Mike Lindell and his company are completely homeless and in need of a pillow.

I'm not a Minnesotan, but I really miss Al Franken's radio show (not as much as I miss him in the Senate obviously), because I know he'd devote a section to it to Mike Lindell on a regular basis and I also know he must do a killer impersonation.

Nah, nobody wants his lumpy pillows

my problem is that they are so small. I can barely cup them in my hand and you know those are the engines that drive the train.

Poor guy. /s

Fascist, conspiratorial fuckhead.

The end is a wee bit scary though-

Lindell recently told the podcast War Room that he's asked Trump to put him in charge of elections if he's re-elected to a second term in November.

I wouldn't exactly be shocked if Trump said yes.

Fuck that guy with his lumpy pillows.
