Assuming this is even true and Pressler is even the one responsible the it will be a matter for the courts to address. We don't know any of the details and I doubt 2500 registrations will be enough to swing the results of the election. For all any of us know it could be total bullshit just like the video of someone supposedly ripping up ballots.
No shit but retards like that are shortsighted and only make supporters look bad.

Israel is giving Iran yet another chance to take the offramp, penetrating its defenses with ease and hitting whatever targets it wants, trying to get the message through those thick Persian skulls: we can do whatever we want to you, so how about you lol calm down before we decide to put a rock in our fist instead of slapping you with a glove

You immediately start off with the fake and gay meme that there is no manufacturing left in the west, so I almost didn't bother to read the rest, but then I would missed the gems of "India is becoming a manufacturing and software hub" :story: and especially "Russia can do anything the West can for 60% of the cost" - while Russia has to buy ammunition and missiles from Iran and North Korea and buy drones from Iran because its domestic production can't ramp up fast enough to meet military demand, and their military technology has been outclassed again and again by Western military technology that is basically 20 years old in the mud pit that is Ukraine. "China is making strides in materials" excellent, vague enough to be meaningless.
Ok, you can say that BRICS is a meme, but the fact is that all of the shit that people buy is made in China, Vietnam, Indonesia (the latter two have just announced partnerships with BRICS). Lots of medication is made in India, for example. Meanwhile, Western manufacturing and competency continues to decline. IMO, anyone who completely dismisses the threat of BRICS to American hegemony is a fool, and I say that as someone who is pretty ambivalent about the whole thing. And saying that lol, Russians are retarded, China just steals etc. might well be true, but the West's problem for at least the past half century hasn't been one of capability, but will to apply it. China and India want to dominate, while the West seems to want to commit cultural and ethnic suicide, and that counts for a lot.
 
It's a huge deal. The people with the experience to do those things are gone. Manufacturing facilities don't magically appear out of thin air. If you don't preserve that capability, you lose it.
No, it isn't, no, they aren't, and yes, they do, when you pay the money to build them. One wonders how that capability was built in the first place if allegedly losing it means you can never get it back. Stop sucking red chink micropeen and try asking some questions of your logic

All of it? Uh-huh. Well, this is certainly going to be an informed talk. Try more like less than 10% from China, if you include supply chain shit (not just finished goods). It's been declining for almost a decade now, and that's not changing. Vietnam's and particularly Indonesia's exports to the US are a drop in the bucket of the US total consumer market

And your assertion that Western economic competency "continues to decline" is backed by... what?

There is no economic threat to the United States from BRICS because BRICS economies are more state controlled than America's, and how many times do we have to replay the economic failure of more state controlled economies in competition with the United States in the 20th century to figure it out?

You people just say things that you really really really believe are true and you don't know they've all been said before. And failed for the same reasons they're failing now and will fail in the future

Harris needed vetted questions, what a gaymo.
Even with vetted questions Harris is going to get fucking destroyed going on an indie media outlet like the JRE.
Joe isn't in bed enough with the DNC to edit interviews for her and she crumbles under the mildest pressure.
If Anderson Cooper couldn't save you at a live event you have absolutely no chance on a podcast like that.
 
White House calling Israel's attack on Iran, an "act of self defense." They really do want Harris to lose don't they.
They are damned if they do, damned if they don't.

They can't chide Israel in public, because that will piss off the people who don't simp for Goatfucking Pedophiles but they can't bring themselves to actually pretend they aren't antisemtic as they accuse Trump of being.
 
No, it isn't, no, they aren't, and yes, they do, when you pay the money to build them.
This is such a modern consoomerist mentality - money can do all, money fixes everything, just pay enough and all problems magically go away. Even with all the money in the world, all that stuff takes lots of time and then requires re-creating the institutional expertise that we've totally lost.

It's really apparent the people who've actual worked in various manufacturing industries (the few that are left) because they know first-hand how bad the situation is. We're on the cusp of being a de-industrialized society because passing on decades or centuries of institutional knowledge was detrimental to quarterly profits.
 
State of Florida vs the United States Attorney General.

Florida sues Merrick Garland over blocking probe into second assassination attempt on Trump​

The state of Florida has sued Merrick Garland for blocking the state's probe into the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Federal authorities told the state to halt its investigation into Ryan Routh, who reportedly waited for hours with a firearm to target the GOP nominee while he was playing golf on his course in West Palm Beach.

On Wednesday, Florida's Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a complaint against United States Attorney General Merrick Garland. Garland had previously told the state to stop all investigating into the assassination attempt. Governor Ron DeSantis had made it clear that the state was going to file charges against Routh, per CBS 12 News.

Authorities in Florida were told by the DOJ that they would not be able to interview witnesses in the case and that Florida state officials had to cooperate with the federal investigation. The lawsuit in response from Florida stated that it is suing in order to "vindicate its sovereign interest to investigate violations of state law, as delay may impact the outcome of any prosecution."

DeSantis announced that the state would be probing the assassination attempt just two days after the second attempt on Trump's life. Routh was allegedly spotted pointing a rifle through a chain link fence around 300 yards away from where the GOP nominee was playing. Once fired upon by Secret Service agents, he fled on foot to his car where he then drove away, later getting pulled over by local police and was arrested.

Routh has been charged with attempted assignation of a major presidential candidate, possessing a gun as a felon, as well as other counts. He has pleaded not guilty in response to all federal charges. Routh allegedly outlined his plans to kill Trump in a note where he said if he did not complete the "assassination attempt on Donald Trump" then he would pay $150,000 to anyone who succeeds in carrying out the act.

Look at the shitshow that was trying to recreate FOGBANK. That was only a single generation removed from the people who created the process. Now multiply that across countless industries. The west is fucked.
FOGBANK is not a good example for your argument because that had nothing to do with the ability to manufacture the material. The reason why that happened is because the process to produce the material was so classified and compartmentalized that, when it came time to make it, no one knew how.

It proved that the DOE is where US secrets go to die.

For how bureaucratic and large the government and its agencies are, they sure have a habit of collectively being awful at retaining documentation of significant intellectual and knowledge value.
