The liberals I know in my family don’t know what to do. They are not watching “news”. One said she’s listening to old 70s music. These people have lifestyles and spouses to answer to. Weakness

They ar completely rudderless

The BIG news in the story is that CNN has a comedy show. One that actually admits to being comedy. Gutfeld must be shaking in his boots.

Lefties really don’t like each other. Trump is the first to come along and exploit those differences.

It may still work out in the Middle East as the muslims hate each other more than the Jews.

That's been my observation too, they just hate conservatives more.

Trump announced, “I will label attacks on Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism…. We already know who some of them are, we are going to catch them.”

President Trump really needs to extend that to all individuals who damage Tesla autos to make a political statement. And to violent people who threaten Tesla automobile drivers. This is a loosely federated terrorism group whether the attacks are on dealerships, privately owned vehicles or Tesla drivers. All of those have one motivation -- to put Tesla out of business. To me, it looks like a clear case where RICO can be applied:

RICO aims to dismantle criminal enterprises—originally the Mafia, but now applied to drug cartels, corrupt businesses, gangs, and even some political schemes—by holding participants accountable for a collective pattern of illegal acts, not just isolated crimes.

Key Elements:
Enterprise: A group (formal like a corporation, or informal like a gang) with a structure and purpose, legal or illegal.

Racketeering Activity: A list of 35 specific crimes (defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1961(1)), including murder, extortion, bribery, fraud, money laundering, drug trafficking, and more. These are called "predicate acts."

Pattern: At least two predicate acts within 10 years, showing continuity and relatedness (e.g., not random crimes but part of a coordinated effort).

Interstate Commerce: The enterprise’s activities must affect commerce across state lines or internationally, a broad threshold often easily met.


There are 35 crimes listed in RICO. These two clearly apply:
28. Interference with commerce by threats or violence (18 U.S.C. § 1951, Hobbs Act)
31. Racketeering (18 U.S.C. § 1952, Travel Act—using interstate facilities for illegal activity)

Maybe more could be applied, too:
7. Extortion (this is a state law offense in RICO. The perps are attempting to extort concessions from DOGE)
18. Wire fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1343) -- the perps have to be using interstate communications to plan their attacks.
19. Financial institution fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1344) -- the perps are attempting to destroy Tesla, Inc.


RICO flips the script on organized crime: instead of prosecuting a single murder or theft, it paints a bigger picture, tying acts together to take down the whole operation. For instance, a gang running drugs and extortion isn’t just hit for one bust—RICO makes every member liable for the enterprise’s history of crimes over a decade. It’s a legal sledgehammer.

I keep running into online bozos, who think they are smart and clever by saying, “I remember a time when the media wasn’t partisan.”

Israel is using the stick. They have to. Then there’s the carrot. It’s limited but worth the effort.
