Nope. I always check that out before buying. Have a lot of Americana stuff in my home--all made in the USA!

They're very well made and work well.

Well, I've never shopped for a maga hat because I don't wear hats. But thank you so much for pointing that out and making sure you found a way to bash Trump in this thread having nothing to do with him.

Fer sher. I wouldn't do that kind of work now. Nobody would, we worked before OSHA kind of made work less lethal. No cranes back then to do the heavy lifting. I did it back then and so did everyone else.

Actually, it was your post that led 'lil Mikey off topic with his comment about Trump's Mar-A-Lago lair being searched by the FBI.

Try to justify it however you wish. It was an asshole move and you know it. After all, I didn't use your comment about chinese products as an excuse to jump to a criticism about the corrupt bidens' chinese connections. You know, something to the effect of "Well I try not to purchase products made in china because I don't want to contribute to hunter's addiction to drugs, money, and sex." I could have done that, but I didn't.

You mean you didn't in the previous comment, but did with this one

What "an a**hole move".

BTW, my response was a well justified one. Perhaps you simply can't handle the truth.

No. What I posted was that "I didn't use your comment about chinese products as an excuse" to jump to such a statement about hunter.

You took a general comment about not buying stuff made in china and made a leap to something negative about Trump. And it was an unnecessary asshole move on what started out as a fun thread. You must be great fun at parties. NOT.

As far as not handling the truth, I am not surprised at your comment because most of what we buy is made there. It is a challenge to find products that are not. Until companies have more incentive to stay/move here that will continue. Appeasement and capitulation to china is not the answer.

As of yet, not enough information about the FBI raid has been released, yet you are sure it is justified. The facts may yet bear you out, or they may not. Good thing for all of us, nothing any of us say here means much.

The above are the comments we each made. So, no, my comment was directed at Mikey's post implying the FBI took US flags from Mar-A-Lago. I guess the conversation went too fast for you to keep up. You then made your comment to which I also replied explaining my previous reply to Mikey's response to your flag photo.

BTW, I had been having fun on this thread by Archie. Mikey then injected his thinly-veiled shot at the FBI's legally cleared search of Mar-A-Lago. So, I responded in kind with my "Most likely, made in China". And, oh, the thread is under the heading of 'main', and not 'general chit-chat'.

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

All true enough, SOW, except that it was certainly justified. Not because I say so, but in that the FBI cleared all the legal hurdles for enforcing a search warrant. Eventually, time will sort things out.

son of witless

Getting a search warrant is like getting a FISA warrant. Very obviously an extremely low hurdle for the FBI. Again, the facts may well bear you out. I am surprised that with such a politically explosive environment that the FBI hasn't been more forthcoming.

son of witless

Here is another factor. The FBI knew what judge to go to.

The Deep State at its deepest and most corrupt.
The Deep State is trying to rid itself of two liabilities; Trump and Biden. By taking down Trump, they can justify taking down Hunter Biden and then the Big Guy with him. See, justice applies to everyone...everyone that the Deep State wants to eliminate.
