OMG, that site is delicious. Grifting grifters gotta grift, I guess …but it’s all insanely overpriced junk. Insanely overpriced junk you can review online! I just posted this review of a $60 throw blanket… _The blanket is nice and soft, good for soothing the hurt butts of losing losers who lost the 2020 election big time!_ _It will soak up all your pathetic conservative tears like a sponge for the next four years. And, if your deluded brains explode and inspire you to attempt some pathetic Flight 93 act of terrorism to storm the cockpit of government, you could smother a cop with it or something._ _Seriously, 60 bucks for a freaking blanket that’s NOT made of crack? No wonder you rubes are always broke!_ ---

I think they need a sequel to (young, handsome) caveman Donnie building the wall that reflects the reality of the dinosaurs and Bernie and AOC bursting through and trampling him. ---

Holy carp! I decided to look at some of the reviews, and they are mostly along this line: **We always wanted to try Mike’s products but couldn’t ever seem to squeeze the trigger on buying. Well, after what has happened to him lately our minds were made up. We are supporting Mike’s company always. To our even more pleasant surprise, we found these products to be exactly as described. Thank you, Mike, for EVERYTHING you have done and continue to do. God bless you and yours!!** **I love Mike’s pillows! Made in USA! I love that too. I will continue to buy My pillow products. I am trying to reduce buying made in china products as much as possible. Mike’s products fit the bill. Great pillows! I will buy his other products as the need arises. I love that Mike professes his faith in God. I will continue to support my brother in Christ.** Rubes is spot-on! ---

His store site looks a combination of the crap you could buy through Lillian Vernon’s catalog, or stuff sold by Amway or by hawkers at a flea market or county fair. A few actually looked like something I kinda need (a gun-holster type belt clip for my drill would be really handy in my current home remodeling project), but most were “roll-eyes” for me. Needless to say, I’m not buying from his site. In fact, I’m kind of scared that I didn’t look at it through Incognito mode; I hope no one is tracking visits to his site and starts sending me all kinds of spam and scams. ---

Maybe he could sell MyPillow, and accessories, through an MLM? Stranger things have been done, I guess. ---
