Trump’s America
The Most Powerful Crime Syndicate in History It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is essentially acting as a massive criminal enterprise. It lies, steals, extorts and murders – all while cloaked in the awesome authority of the state. It is on a crime spree that puts Al Capone to shame. This is not hyperbole or hyperventilation. It is our reality, as the facts amply demonstrate. This administration has: • Murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti, slandered them as “domestic terrorists” and “assassins,” and allowed their killers to walk free; • Unleashed thousands of minimally trained ICE agents, recruited with explicitly white supremacist messaging, to inflict terror on people of color; Repeatedly violated the constitutional rights of citizens and non-citizens by arresting them for First Amendment-protected speech, raiding their homes without judicial warrants, and imprisoning them without due process; • Killed dozens of civilians on the high seas solely on the unsubstantiated claim that they were drug runners (not that being drug runners would justify their summary executions without due process anyway); Released hundreds of imprisoned felons who brutally beat Capitol police officers on January 6; • Converted the once-independent Department of Justice into an instrument of personal retribution via the prosecution of cooked-up lawsuits against the President’s enemies; • Threatened to seize the territory of a sovereign nation (a NATO ally no less); • Sought to imprison United States Senators simply for exercising their free speech rights by reminding military personnel of their undisputed duty to disobey illegal orders; • Tried to impose ruinous and unconstitutional sanctions on some of the country’s largest law firms simply because Trump doesn’t like them; • Violated court orders on a massive scale. As the Chief District Judge of Minnesota recently wrote, “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence;” • Shaken down some of the country’s largest universities by illegally threatening to withhold funding; and • Engaged in breathtaking corruption: as the conservative writer David Frum stated, “Trump’s scale of stealing and bribe-taking has never been remotely paralleled in any democratic country ever before.” And that’s just for starters; there are dozens more examples. It is difficult to comprehend the level of state-sponsored criminality we are witnessing because our country has never experienced anything like it. It is also difficult to absorb because it is happening so quickly, and on so many different fronts. In the words of the 2022 movie, it sometimes feels like “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” And that can be exhausting, numbing, and overwhelming. But viewing the Trump administration as a massive crime syndicate allows us to be clear-eyed about what is coming down the road, and to plan accordingly. To take the most urgent example, there ought to be no question as to whether Trump will try to steal the midterm elections. Of course he will try to steal them. Criminals gonna crime. He tried to steal the 2020 elections, and the lack of any consequences for that supremely traitorous act only further emboldened him. It is every patriotic American’s duty to oppose the coming effort to nullify the will of the voters. That this administration can reasonably be viewed as a criminal enterprise should not be cause for despair. The courts have rejected many of the administration’s power grabs and unconstitutional or illegal acts. The President is less popular than he has ever been. Prominent Republicans are defying him more than ever. The brave citizens of Minneapolis are showing us how effective organized resistance can be. And Bad Bunny, with his Super Bowl message that “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” gave us reason to believe that kindness, compassion and decency will prevail. https://www.nydailynews.com/2026/02/18/the-most-powerful-crime-syndicate-in-history/

Texas Primaries
That his candidacy has viability at all is just beyond me. There is not a more loathsome crook politician anywhere.

Do I get to start the James Talarico thread?
Well, I’m dubious. The lack of engagement by the Texas electorate is legendary. We’ve been the worst or among the worst for years. Some of that blame should be placed with those who simple don’t care enough to engage, even as their vital interests are at stake.

Why does he no longer call Trump a whiny little bitch? And why does he believe we need an 89,000 sq ft ballroom?

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Anybody know how to depict a leopard eating the American electorate’s face? A new NBC News poll shows that many voters would now choose between former Vice President Kamala Harrisover President Donald Trump, according to CNN data guru Harry Enten. “Regrets … some folks had a few,” Enten said during a segment showing Harris' improved numbers. Trump defeated Harris in the November 2024 election by just more than a point and a half, according to the survey, but Harris pulled ahead by one point in a redo poll conducted in April 2025 and is now leading by an eight-point margin. “Kamala Harris wins in a redo, asking folks essentially if you could redo the 2024 election, how would you vote?” Enten explained. “She wins it by, get this, eight points. A massive shift from what we saw back in November of 2024 when Donald Trump won by a point, and I will note that this sample was weighted to the 2024 result in which Donald Trump won by a point. And yet Kamala Harris in this weighted sample, she wins by eight amongst the sample that voted for Trump by one.”

Lol, seriously? Why vote for him in the first place? https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/14/south-texas-will-never-be-red-again-builders-warn-gop-over-trumps-immigration-raids-00781374 “I told [lawmakers] straight up: South Texas will never be red again,” said Mario Guerrero, the CEO of the South Texas Builders Association, a Trump voter who traveled to Washington last week. He urged the administration and lawmakers to ease up on enforcement at construction sites, warning that employees are afraid to go to work. The construction industry is one of the latest and clearest examples of how the president’s mass deportation agenda continues to clash with his economic goals of bringing down prices and political aims of keeping control of Congress. Even the president’s allies fear disruptions to labor-heavy industries will undermine the gains with Latino voters Republicans have made in recent years, in large part because of Trump’s economic agenda.

Texas -- a failed state
Why does Texas still go through the trouble and expense of sending out voter registration cards if they can no longer be used to vote?

Trump’s America
Trump has nominated an out and proud racist and antisemite to be Ass’t of State. What should no longer be a point of contention is Trump’s racist bona fides. For the first time in recent American history, we have a POTUS who is racist without dilemma, and the people who elected him know it and are more than okay with it.

Pam Bondi is a dumbass
Jamie Raskin was right to suspect Trump was hiring J6’ers to be ICE agents. They’re out and proud about it.

All the more reason to look beyond ethnic diversity since is very easy to find non whites who will carry water for the dominant culture.

These increasing costs make it harder for families to meet their obligations, and the effects are being felt across the broader economy. In a new analysis of data from the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, the House Budget Committee finds that the number of people filing for personal bankruptcy increased by 11 percent during the President’s first year in office. Bankruptcies have not been this high since 2019, during President Trump’s first term. https://democrats-budget.house.gov/resources/report/personal-bankruptcies-are-their-highest-levels-years-under-president-trump - Media Bias Thread
