Making America produce stuff again is always a lie when pronounced by anyone associated with the current admin.
Always.
Always.
I'm also surprised that Roger went with a Hong Kong factory (I called the factory today to confirm). If MAGA is about making America great again through reindustrialization, why not use a US factory? Over at O'Connell's, you can find MiUSA tailoring for half of Roger's prices

Markwayne was a fucking plumber before the whole fame and Congress member bit. He NEVER SERVED. Talks a big game, but he’s an idiot and a coward.
Just a very basic fact check- "international waters" is NOT permission to kill people. There are global regulations that prevent people from just getting away with murder there. If a US citizen commits murder in international waters, they can still be tried/convicted in the US. It is still illegal.
Sen. Mullin: "We know that the Navy or the Coast Guard picked up survivors already and sent them back to their country."
Bash: "Could that be because a lawyer in the Pentagon said 'you can't do that again'?"
Sen. Mullin: "No…Why do we care if we take them out in international water?"

As far back as during WWII, when vessels were sunk, it was considered illegal to kill survivors in the water. This is a well-established fact with tons of historical backing. It is illegal to kill survivors in the water, period. Even if they're running drugs, as has been claimed.
Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?"
Mark Kelly: "It seems to."
Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?"
Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."
