The company also sells “Hillary in orange” figurines that come with “Trump sends Hillary to prison!” set. Other offerings include pro-Second Amendment merch, bibles, and toy sets for the Crusaders.

Already fapping.

All that stellar lefty rag Vice,

So, are you saying the story isn't true, or did you just decide on an ad hominem reply to deflect attention from it?

If it's true, and I'm not going to bother to check, I find  “Trump sends Hillary to prison!” amusing.

Unless you really want to stretch the definition of "racist," then no, it's not true.

According to the article, it's not only racist (?) but also a holy war.  After watching the spot, I would say that Fox News reported on it, but also said it was "controversial".  Is that now the same as "hawking"?

So, the headline and analysis, not the facts?

Are you sayin you consider the description 'stellar lefty rag' an ad hominem?

Personally, I'm outraged by the thought of anyone selling Lego border wall to minors.

If Jesus walked on water, and the media said he couldn't swim, would it be true?

I want one but only if Mexico pays for it. :laugh:

Build that wall, deaths from opioids, heroin and human smuggling needs to decline. That is a start on taking it out from Mexico.

I miss the old Mad magazine; this kind of satire still kills me.    And seeing the grievance culture's panties a-twist tells me it hit its mark.

I really miss the vintage Mad, back when the satire was biting and the artwork was sheer genius...


 But the newer version sometimes hits the mark as well, it would seem...

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
