There really is something to be said about blaming Tru*p for everything wrong in life. There are so many ripple effects that he - directly or indirectly - has touched almost all aspects of life. And we know everything he touches dies. Consider not just what he orders or directs, but the effect of appointing incompetent saboteurs to essentially all federal departments, including defence, justice, and state. Consider the long-term effects of a public loss of confidence in the courts, in elections, in the ability/intent of the government to work on behalf of its citizens and to do so with minimal corruption. Consider all the day to day events that make life harder on everyone - prices up, opportunities lost, environment and health endangered, increased division and social conflict and reduced national cohesion. Sure, the next president will re-purpose the ballroom and take his name and tacky gold filigree off everything, but people's confidence in Superman's version of "the American Way" with "truth and justice" isn't coming back instantly, and probably never. I've said "it's good to be old" and I mean it, but I can also say that if I had been 30-something in 2016, I'd now be in my 10th year of residency in Canada, England, or maybe Portugal, but I sure wouldn't be here watching the constant crumbling of America.
The informant in a white supremacist group who leaked internal documents to a national newspaper likely faces an act of retaliation if ultimately identified, researchers told Newsweek.
Internal documents exclusively obtained by USA Today revealed Wednesday that Patriot Front, a white nationalist hate group formed in 2017 following the deadly "Unite the Right" rally in Virginia, has more than 540 members across every state except Hawaii as of early 2026.
An analysis of the Texas-based group's 72-page roster of members and other documents also revealed Patriot Front has attracted more than half of its constituents within the past two years and maintains close ties to dozens of Active Clubs, a decentralized network of white supremacists who pair mixed martial arts with propaganda in fight clubs across America....
Ah-ha, now the Moron Don fights make even more sense.
Patriot Front members hold flags on the National Mall during the annual March for Life on January 23, 2026, in Washington, D.C.
... some applicants are explicitly seeking to "secure a future for White children," according to documents obtained by USA Today.
"White Nationalist tired of watching my country be raped and pillaged by foreign invaders," another aspiring Patriot Front member told organizers in his application.

To put that "more than 540 members" in perspective, a NIH study would say there are in excess of 1,800 criminal psychopaths running around loose, 800,000 registered sex offenders, over 750,000 street, prison, and motorcycle gangs, and 39 million Republicans. Maybe I'll wait a bit before I worry too much about the "Patriot Front"

Fta:
... Patriot Front's founder, Thomas Ryan Rousseau, 27, recently urged members to stay fit and continue distributing white supremacist propaganda in a recent message obtained by the newspaper as the group seeks to enlist 600 members by July 4, 2026, to coincide with the 250th anniversary of American independence.
... Daniel Byman, who directs the Warfare, Irregular Threats and Terrorism Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said that he wasn't blown away by the group's reported tally of followers, with growing hubs in Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Utah and California, according to the analysis of leaked Patriot Front documents.
"This is a fairly large number for an extremist organization, but not a large number for a political organization that is trying to engage in mainstream politics," Byman told Newsweek. "So, I see Patriot Front as kind of straddling the line, where it's very much trying to present a mainstream face. It's not shocking that you'd have this group with hundreds of members, but if it were actually committed to violence in a direct way, that'd be a very large group for the FBI to take on." ...

I've been reading they'd need to dump over 1000 jugs to accomplish their goal.
I know you guys are enjoying this debacle unfold. In reality, it is just another example of governmental incompetence. It seems to me this would be an anticipated issue. Algae in water is not exactly a new issue.
It's not "governmental" to ncompetence. The government departments who should know about such things weren't consulted. There was no bidding process. It was all Tru*p incompetence and arrogance pure and simple.

It never fails to amaze me how cultists will tie themselves in knots in efforts to justify the shit trump does. And "government incompetence" has been the go to thing for Republicans since Reagan started the myth that government is the problem.
