I was at the Philips/Magnovox meeting in 2006. It was sad.

Translation: we will keep lying about Donald Trump, but we will expunge this one easily verifiable lie.

Well, at least we still make turntables:

And they’re not kidding when they say ‘Made in the USA’. Every single part, except the arm lift that comes from Japan, is made in the USA.

“… [I]n general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.”

— Karl Marx, 1848
Marx knew what he intended, and the people who deliberately conflate the free market and free trade know what they are doing too.

I have an Element tv on right now. It is a 32 inch model and I got it at Wal-Mart. I can’t recall the price but it was pretty low, something like $150. It has a good sharp screen.

I recall when I bought it, there was a “made in U.S.A.” print on the box.

This kind of stuff has been going on for a long time. I remember most post WWII Walthers were actually made by Manurhin in France. They were then shipped to Germany where they were stamped “made in Germany”. The workmanship was first class.

“Politifact” is WAY more politics than fact.

The old term was “spin”. Any objective set of descriptions of physical phenomena may be described in a number of divergent ways, depending on the personal bias of the person interpreting the descriptions. And the “facts” themselves depend more on perspective than actual events.

The fact that the USA doesn’t manufacture anymore is good thing according the the Free Traitor™. Set free, the “displaced” US workers are now free to pursue high paying careers in rocket science and brain surgery.

Marx was wrong about Communism but he was dead on about the road to get there.

Of course not but that’s not what he said. Read #5 which is laughable.
